I had a distressed friend call me last month, it seems he missed a couple of payments on his car after loosing his job, and he moved back to his parents home.
Sure enough the finance company sent out the PI's for a skip trace, and charged him $700 for the experience.
Not one investigator, nor the 2 companies involved will provide CAPI master licence numbers, or individual capi licence when asked. If you read the legislation, it is a penalty not to, and just like us, all advertising and correspondance must show master licence.
Reporting the matter to the police local area command fell on deaf ears.
The good news is that he has bluffed his way so far out of paying for the skip trace, claiming that the legislation prohibits charging a fee without holding a current licence....We'll see how long this lasts.
