The single most common reason a judgment goes uncollected is that the creditor doesn’t know where the defendant lives or works today. Court records have the address from the original lawsuit. People move. Defendants who are trying to dodge collection move faster.

A VerdictIntel Defendant Locate gives you what you need to take the next step — serve a post-judgment subpoena, levy a bank account, garnish wages, or send an enforceable demand letter.

What’s included

• Current residential address verified across utility, credit-header, and public-record sources, with confidence rating.
• Phone numbers — landline and mobile — with last-seen-active timestamps.
• Email addresses identified through breach-data correlation and public records.
• Known associates and family who frequently appear at the same address or share legal/financial entanglements.
• Employer indicator when available (workers comp, public payroll, professional licensing).

How it works

Submit the defendant’s name, last known address, and any partial identifiers (DOB, last 4 of SSN if known). Our investigators run a layered search across proprietary databases and verify high-confidence hits against secondary sources before delivery.

Turnaround

Most Locate reports are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Same-day delivery is available for urgent matters at no additional fee — call us when you submit.

When to use Locate vs. Asset Search

Use Locate when you already know your defendant has assets and just need to find them to serve, garnish, or restart collection. If you also need to know what they own — real estate, vehicles, businesses, accounts — order a Standard Asset Search, which includes a Locate.
