It's funny, because growing up I thought LexisNexis were just one of those guys I'd use to find academic articles from the school library system, like JSTOR. Then I got employed by the collections industry straight out of college and found out what skiptracing is. There used to be quite a few skiptracing vendors: Accurint, Banko, FastData, to name a few. LexisNexis bought all of them. I imagine that the dossier they have on the average person dwarfs what the credit bureaus have.

> I imagine that the dossier they have on the average person dwarfs what the credit bureaus have. It does. LexisNexis and Equifax [used to be, maybe still are] the first two calls the US Marshals make when setting out to find a fugitive.
