Do any freepers know of any reputable online background/trace checks

.I have two deadbeats who skipped town in North Carolina without paying the mortgage they owed my mother,they also left the house a pigsty, left trash and junk of every description in every room

The house has several liens on the propriety ,including local taxs and the insurance on the house was not paid as was agreed

This was my grandparents house and I'd like to find these worthless swine

Also, go to the local post office and ask for the forwarding address the deadbeats left behind. Be really nice about it and act like you’re interested in finding your ‘friends’ and the clerk will probably tell you what you need to know.

I take it your mom sold them the house and took back the mortgage...

The recourse for defaulting on the mortgage is taking back the property, and there’s little else she can do.

They probably skipped because they had no money.

Do you have their SSNs? You could go online and run their credit report. That will surely reveal where they ‘landed’ eventually.

“worthless swine”

They’re probably `judgment-proof.’ I’m guessing she sold using a conditional sale contract/land sale contract.

Even if you find them it will probably cost more to pursue then its worth. Been there done that.

Ended up having person after person stop by the house because they were also owed money.

People like this know the system well, the time to do the background check is before they move in.

Did they steal anything? Make a police report.

ALWAYS ask for references- the bad ones will not even come back to give you any - the good ones will, but you dont even need to check them

also - send a certifed letter marked for them to return the letter to you WITH a forwarding address ( marked “return service requeted” ) it costs 75 cents extra I think

If they are running from the law though, I doubt they filed a forwarding address with the post office

Similar thing happened to me …

Sold a property … 2005 Palm Harbor triple-wide on 3+ acres … I held the mortgage.

Received a hefty down payment and several months of mortgage payments.

Then payments stopped.

Hired a real estate attorney. After third missing mortgage payment, we filed for foreclosure.

The day before the foreclosure hearing, the guy filed for bankruptcy.

The civil proceeding (foreclosure) was immediately halted. Hired a bankruptcy attorney. Waited nine months until the guy failed to abide to the payment schedule that was set up for him by the bankruptcy court, resulting in his case being dismissed.

Back to civil court … then, the day before the 2nd scheduled hearing, he filed for bankruptcy again! Another nine months of waiting, until they dismissed it for his failure to abide to payment schedule.

For the third time the foreclosure hearing was scheduled … and true to form, for the 3rd time, he filed for bankruptcy! This time the bankruptcy court refused him!

Foreclosure hearing was held and foreclosure sale was set. I was allowed by the court to bid up to the amount that was owed to me. No one bid higher and I got ownership back.

Meanwhile, the guy and his family were living in the house all this time! Over time I watched as they dismantled and removed a shed from the property and there was nothing I could do about it. I watched the 4-board fencing disappear and I could do nothing about it. Of course, he was also trashing the inside of the house during this period of time.

On the day he finally moved out (almost three years from the beginning of my actions against him) he loaded my 5-ton A/C unit and my refrigerator onto his trailer! I called the sheriff … there was nothing they could do … I’d have to take him to civil court (lol).

That night, although the power was turned off, there was a mysterious fire near the power box. Luckily the house didn’t burn down. I had to replace the wiring and make other repairs.

I also had to pay three years’ worth of back taxes. He had several code violations that I had to correct, and he had two liens. The lien holders tried to come after me without success.

My advice is: forget about finding the deadbeats … file for foreclosure and get the property back asap.
