Lifestyle Reports
Aserve provides all our clients with a comprehensive financial investigation service.
Our investigators run complete background checks on subjects for many financial institutions. Financial investigations of this kind occur when an individual has failed to liaise with either their bank or credit union to repay their debt.
In some instances, the information that our clients have on a subject is out-dated and obsolete due to lack of communication from a subject. In this case, Aserve undertakes a Lifestyle Report on an individual.
What Is A Lifestyle Report?
Aserve holds a strong emphasis on data protection, ensuring we provide financial institutions with information legitimately obtained. We understand the importance of supplying financial companies with data that is used to make next step decisions. We also guarantee the collected data legitimacy and accuracy if it required in a legal case.
Financial Lifestyle Reports provide the details of the current circumstances for the invested individual while fully complying with data protection regulations.
All information sourced by our financial investigators is available and sourced through public media and our agent network. Our network of over 70 agents (all retired gardai) geographically spread throughout the entire country has intimate knowledge of each county and its inhabitants. This knowledge and local intelligence is invaluable when preparing such reports.
A lifestyle report is a more extensive version of a Status Report on an individual. A subject would have a larger number of connections and possibly be involved with several companies.
Very similar to an asset trace with the added value of personal information. This information would include personal information on a subject, such as their occupation, current employment/business info. Family details, etc. We are careful not to include information on third parties (family members etc.) to a subject except by way of reference.
Our aim is to have all traces completed within four weeks maximum.
Asset Trace
This is a most important part of a lifestyle report. An asset trace is a nationwide trace to establish what property or businesses a subject owns or has a material interest in. This is done first of all by means of Land Registry Searches and CRO searches. We would also carry out detailed Social Media searches.
Searches carried out and information received, we then have local agents carry out inquiries and verify all the information. The local agent or agents would also use their local knowledge and contacts to establish new information. This local knowledge is reliable and invaluable. Our asset traces are successful because they combine excellent office research with first class local knowledge.
Combined that completes a report the client can rely upon.
Occupancy Check / Property Check
– When we receive a request to carry out a Lifestyle report, as part of that we will carry out occupancy checks. We will first do a desktop search, which includes, a land registry search and a google maps search. After that we will send the inquiry to an agent in the locality for a visit to the location and inquiries as to the current position with the property. Our agent will photograph the property and speak to occupants of the building to get details as to how long they are in situ or speak to neighbours and get all possible information.
Our agent will then complete a report for inclusion in the lifestyle report and return it to Aserve within a few days.
