🎯 Professional Skip Tracing Services in North Carolina

People Locator Skip Tracing provides comprehensive investigation and people-finding services throughout North Carolina. Whether you’re a Charlotte attorney trying to enforce a judgment, a Raleigh process server searching for an evasive defendant, or a Greensboro business owner tracking down someone who owes you money, our professional investigators have the tools and expertise to locate them.

North Carolina presents unique skip tracing challenges. As the ninth most populous state with over 10.5 million residents across 100 counties, North Carolina combines major metros like Charlotte (banking center) and Raleigh-Durham (Research Triangle), mid-size cities like Greensboro and Winston-Salem, coastal communities from Wilmington to the Outer Banks, and rural Appalachian mountain communities. The state’s rapid growth makes population tracking challenging.

Our investigators understand North Carolina’s geography, demographics, court systems, and economic landscape. We know the banking hub of Charlotte, the tech and research communities of the Triangle, the furniture and textile heritage of the Piedmont Triad, and the tourism economies of the coast and mountains.

⚖️ North Carolina Judgment Enforcement Laws

📋 Judgment Duration & Renewal

📜 North Carolina General Statutes § 1-234

North Carolina judgments are enforceable for 10 years from the date of entry. Judgments may be renewed by bringing an action on the judgment before expiration. Interest accrues at 8% per annum under N.C.G.S. § 24-1.

💰 Wage Garnishment Rules

📜 North Carolina General Statutes § 1-362

North Carolina is one of only four states that do NOT allow wage garnishment for ordinary consumer debts. Wages can only be garnished for taxes, child support, student loans, and certain other specific debts. This makes North Carolina extremely debtor-friendly for wage protection—ordinary judgment creditors cannot touch wages.

🏠 North Carolina Homestead Exemption

📜 North Carolina General Statutes § 1C-1601(a)(1)

North Carolina’s homestead exemption protects up to $35,000 in equity in a primary residence, or $60,000 if the debtor is 65+ and the exemption resulted from the death of a spouse. Given North Carolina’s varying property values, this exemption may or may not fully protect homeowners.

🚗 Vehicle Exemptions

📜 North Carolina General Statutes § 1C-1601(a)(2)

North Carolina exempts one motor vehicle up to $3,500 in equity, or up to $6,000 for vehicles modified for disability use. Many vehicles have equity above this relatively low exemption.

💡 North Carolina’s NO Wage Garnishment Rule

North Carolina’s prohibition on wage garnishment for ordinary debts is a game-changer. Collection efforts must focus entirely on assets—real property, vehicles, bank accounts, and other non-wage assets. Our North Carolina skip tracing identifies both debtors and their reachable assets to support effective collection strategies.
