I've lost touch with one of my best friends from university. Been thinking about it for a while now and would really like to see him again.

I've googled him, checked facebook and stuff. His name is really common which doesn't help. I can roughly calculate his age to within a couple of years and know the town he lived in all his life, though he could be anywhere now.

I have photos. An ad in a local paper maybe? Grannies and aunts might see it. Is this a good idea or is there other stuff I'm not thinking of?

Try a friend finder website (not a sex one)
Try the phone book for his area
go on the 192 website
ask the university if they know what he did next - maybe they know where he works or something
and yeah stick his photo in a paper, perhaps save up some dollar for a billboard that gets noticed?

suck me off and ill consider telling u how to find him

If he’s not on the electoral register or has ticked the box 192.com won’t help and 192 is a commercial company go direct to register and cut out the money grabbing middle men.

I know you said you checked google was there nothing at all? If you are serious about finding him I’d click on every single link on the first 3 pages of links. Strangely enough google can be quite effective because it picks up on web blogs, social network, employment websites forums etc always assuming people use there real names, some people do.

Some info is available to the pubic, insolvency for example but not credit files. You’d need to check what is available to the public what isn’t, one google search should do it.

The absolute best way to find someone is get someone who has access to Experian, loads of people do and if they don’t mind risking imprisonment, job done. Everyone has a credit file.

Failing that a women who’ll do anything for you which includes losing her job in either a utility company, tax office, mobile telecoms, virgin or sky.

Private investigators and trace agents have the same powers as jo public so you’re wasting money there.

I think your advert is waste of money but don’t let that stop you.

Thanks Knave, I do have friends, with the requisite access levels to national databases, who would be very willing to assist me. I hadn't considered this.

You do realise you're sinking to my level of manipulation now, haha glad I could help, I'd try not to invlove goverment sources as the penaties tend to be much more severe for employees. I met a girl three months ago and she had serious head issues, turns out she worked for the tax office and did this one mate a favour and then discovered how tough it can be for a straight pretty lamb of a girl on the inside.

This is really what gave me the idea, I know you're thinking a great story for porn film, but she was a really fucked up, big difference between willing and forced.

Anyway, enough of this, your best bet is sky or virgin this info is accessed almost every 30 seconds by employee's at random and the risk of detection is pratically none existant., if he or she is smart enough, plus there databases are huge as almsot everyone has one or the other.

send a letter to the tax office and ask them if they can forward a letter and put your details in it tell them you owe him money worth a shot.

My father has tracked our family tree and various obscure people therein, with the help of a genealogist. Whole thing sends me to sleep at this age, but some of the techniques may help. Local churches often know local genealogists who can track people down with a bit of a bio of other identifying traits like clubs he was a member of, school, place of work...that kind of thing. The info is likely in somebody's head who is local as to where he's gone, if you don't get anywhere with blanket searches. Good luck with it anyway.
