COMPANY POLICY
All searches are completed according to current Privacy Laws and FCRA Rules, either through Be Prepared Investigative Services or their authorized consultants.

Our asset search reports are prepared based on information found in our Search databases, and other information developed through investigator inquires, etc. Typical uses of these reports are to assist in the recovery of Judgments, Child Support obligations, fines, restitution orders and other lawful financial obligations to evaluate settlement offers and possible business relationships and to determine the economic viability of litigations.

The information provided in these search reports is for use as “background information” only. No report is acceptable for use as an exhibit or as evidence. It is the sole responsibility of the client to obtain evidential verification of all information in these reports if such a need exists. The research and investigative techniques used to obtain information is conducted in a highly confidential manner and in full compliance with federal and state financial privacy laws.

All information provided to the client shall be held in strict confidence and shall never be reproduced, revealed or made accessible to any other party and shall never be revealed under any circumstances to the subject of this inquiry in any manner or form.

These search reports and financial inquiries have proven, in many cases, to be a cost-effective tool for attorneys and law enforcement agencies to recover assets and obtain more detailed information on the search subject.

However, No Warranty of any nature is provided by Be Prepared Investigative Services and Survival Supplies, LLC to the client, or to any third party, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information revealed in the report.

Information is obtained from a multitude of databases, recordkeeping systems, and other sources over which Be Prepared Investigative Services and Survival Supplies, LLC and/or its affiliates have no control.

These are fallible electronic and human sources and there is No Guarantee of any kind whatsoever as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability of records, or to the fitness for the purpose(s) of the client in obtaining such report(s).

We suggest that you confirm pricing, availability and turn-around times before requesting a search. Searches are performed strictly in accordance and conformity with the search product descriptions subject to all limitations, disclaimers, restrictions,etc. found herein.

No change, revision, enhancement or alteration is permitted with regard to the search product components and descriptions unless mutually agreed upon in writing by both the client and Be Prepared Investigative Services and Survival Supplies, LLC, subject to any additional charges or revisions of price that may be necessary for additional services rendered.

Search Coverage
Our searches are conducted using a variety of research and investigative techniques, including database searches, telephone inquiries, contacts with confidential sources, etc. Many of the databases used in our research have been developed for our own internal use, or they are specialized limited access

Databases designed for the investigative trade.

In general, these are not “public access” databases, and in the vast majority of cases, you would not be able to locate the same information through conventional “websites”, etc. While our search techniques have been instrumental in identifying millions of dollars of debtor assets, we cannot guarantee that a search will identify every possible asset or bank account that may exist.

Every effort is made to uncover asset information on your behalf; however, due to the limitations and restrictions detailed above, no reputable asset search firm would ever guarantee that a particular search would be successful in identifying virtually 100 % of the assets in question.

Be Prepared Investigative Services utilizes a unique database service available only to retired Police or government agents.

Furthermore, when conducting “liquid asset” searches, such as the Enhanced Bank Search or the Investment Account Search, it may be impossible to obtain current account balances, or even an indication of average account balances. These searches are conducted with the understanding that there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain specific account balances, average account balances, etc.

Turn-Around Times
Your search request is processed as promptly as possible. The turn-around times listed in the asset searches are general estimates, based on typical searches in the past. Your search may take a longer or a shorter period of time to be completed, based on available information, response time from our information sources and suppliers, volume of search requests, etc. Turn-around times are quoted in Business days, which do not include weekends, major holidays, etc. While we strive to complete searches promptly, and within the general turn-around times quoted, there is no guarantee of a specific or exact completion date.

Non-Cancellation Policy
Search requests are processed immediately upon receipt, and incoming search requests are immediately assigned to myself or an outside investigator/consultant or researchers.
As our staff and/or affiliates will devote time, costs and facilities to your request, and incur search expenses, database access fees, etc., searches are not subject to cancellation with a refund of the search fee. While we can accept your request to cancel a search, it is done solely with the understanding that the entire search fee remains due and payable.

There is absolutely no refund of the search fee under any circumstances.
These searches are available only under the following circumstances.

1. To assist in the collection of a debt, fine, Judgment, restitution order or other lawful financial obligations for which the search subject is a responsible party;

2. If the search subject is deceased, or has been adjudged incompetent by a court of competent jurisdiction, and only the search has been ordered with the permission of the executor of the estate, or the legal guardian of the incompetent person;

3. If a bona-fide business relationship exists between the parties, such as a tenant/landlord relationship. If you have any questions or if you would like to discuss your particular situation to see if it meets the requirements of conducting a “Liquid” Asset Search, please contact our office at phone number 206-714-4435 and speak directly to me about your matter.
