Background checks and further information: advice, please

Anybody know of any legal ways to obtain information about a 3rd
party, such as criminal offences, tax evasion, business interests,
etc. without needing to inform the person concerned?

Can't discuss why, at present, other than a group of ordinary people
are about to get mightily fucked over.

Any not so legal ways can be taken to email - frjack-AT-gmail-DOT-com.

 

Yup PI and it could be a couple of grand. Also, he will be doing things for
you that are technically illegal.

 

Looking that way. There's a few people involved, so the cost may be
spread about between them.

 

Would a PI tell you which stuff could safely be used if one was about
to hurl the excrement into the aircon?

The people concerned could do with info that would be safe to
print/broadcast (this could well go to local press and media) and
could be used in a court, if it went that far.

 

I guess they would.

PNC records are harder to get these days from a copper but Umbrella
Companies that do record checks can "assist". Same goes for friendly bank
employees.

ABI membership (Association of British Investigators) is a good thing
to look for; it's as close to a reputable trade body as you'll find
and they don't accept just anybody.

 

FWIW you could try Companies House.
