Asset Repossession

Asset repossession is always challenging, because if the subject is not paying their bill or returned your product, chances are the information they provided you was not accurate or may be out of date. When they are on the run, they tend to have private phone numbers and take measures to hide their whereabouts.

PBI is your answer to that problem. While standard repossession companies can only do so much to recover your asset, a fully-licensed and bonded Private Investigator has much more tools at his or her disposal to locate the subject. Our Cyber Team initializes these cases and then passes them off to our field investigators who go recover your assets.

Whether it is a car, boat, motorcycle, heavy equipment, trucks or any other property of yours, our team will recover it for you.

Asset Investigations Searches

Getting ready to file a law suit? Does someone or a business owe you money? Did you pay a contractor for services and they claim they are out of business?

Depending on why you need an asset check, the investigation can include a basic background check, surveillance work, a computer investigation, or a financial or business background check. Asset investigations basically work by uncovering exactly what sorts of collectible assets someone has. Whether you're investigating a business or individual, an asset investigator will determine how likely you are to get money in a court case. An asset investigation can also tell you how secure someone's assets are - before you trust a company or individual with your business.

Only an asset investigation conducted by a qualified private investigator can find out whether a business or person is using a fictitious business name, is using fraud, is hiding assets, or has multiple judgments or a track record of fraud against them. Knowing this can not only help you in court, but can also give you the information and facts that you need to do everyday business.

Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal identifying information, like your name, Social Security number, or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. The FTC estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. In fact, you or someone you know may have experienced some form of identity theft. The crime takes many forms. Identity thieves may rent an apartment, obtain a credit card, or establish a telephone account in your name. You may not find out about the theft until you review your credit report or a credit card statement and notice charges you didn't make—or until you're contacted by a debt collector.

The problem most people face is how to deal with this? What other information do these thieves have about you? How do I approach the authorities and credit reporting agencies? This is why you need a Private Investigator and PBI is well equipped to help you through all of these issues by providing you with detailed declarations of our investigation that you can use in your case with the credit bureau, law enforcement personnel and legal action.

Custody Investigations

One of the most difficult tasks of any parent, grandparent or other guardian to engage in is a child custody case. For whatever reason you have to take on this challenge, you have decided it is in the best interest of your loved one. While lawyers take on the legal end of things, the courts are a fact based decision maker. While you know the best interest of the child is with you, you have to prove that in court. Courts are almost always for both parents being key players in a child's life and while in a perfect world that would be great, it is sometimes not in the child's best interest.

Private Investigators take that daunting task of burden of proof out of your hands. While you may know that the individual(s) are not the care taker and role model your loved one deserves, the fact is you have to have evidence and proof to back up your claims. Our services give you the tools you need as we take all measures possible to assist you in your case. We deploy surveillance teams and cyber detectives to get everything you need to build your case.
