Just read something on a debt advice website that made me wonder:
I find it a bit hard to believe that they're _that_ efficient at tracing people - does anyone here think this is an accurate pictue?
They might be good at tracing people. Not always the correct people or current address though. I've had experience of debt collection agencies chasing the former owner of my house. They kept chasing him at my address for 4 years after he left. They don't seem to have a massive amount of luck getting money off people even when they do find them.

I would be absolutely shocked if the percentage was any less than that.
I'm rather surprised it is that low.
Most of the people they are after will not be taking any active steps to avoid being traced, and I would expect virtually 100% success in those cases.
