Skip tracing system

A computer-based application for skip tracing, the method steps of the application comprising:

• retrieving account information associated with one or more customers from a mainframe computer system;
• presenting account information associated with one of the one or more customers, the account information including at least one telephone number associated with the one customer;
• presenting a user interface including a user interface control for indicating that a telephone number is bad;
• detecting a user selection of the user interface control, the selection indicating that the at least one telephone number is bad;
• populating a documentation area of the user interface with the indication that the telephone number is bad;
• detecting selection of a second user interface control, the second user interface control for inputting a command to proceed to a next step;
• in response to detecting selection of the second user interface control, presenting a second user interface, the second user interface including one or more sets of numbers associated with the one customer and a documentation area populated with the indication that the telephone number is bad;
• detecting selection of one of the sets of numbers;
• in response to detecting selection of one of the sets of numbers, populating the documentation area of the second user interface with the selected one set of numbers;
• detecting user selection of a third user interface control of the second user interface, the third user interface control for indicating that the selected one set of numbers is good;
• in response to detecting user selection of the third user interface control, recording a telephone number corresponding to the selected one set of numbers is good in a skip queue of the mainframe computer system;
• detecting user selection of a fourth user interface control of the second user interface;
• and
• in response to detecting user selection of the fourth user interface control, recording data populating the documentation area of the second user interface in a skip tracing data structure of the mainframe computer system.

• recording an indication that the telephone number is good in a skip tracing data structure of the mainframe computer system;
• recording the telephone number in a skip queue stored by the mainframe computer system;
• receiving a selection of the telephone number;
• populating a documentation area of the user interface with the indication that the telephone number is good in response to detecting the user selection of the user interface control;
• presenting a third user interface control;
• and
• detecting user selection of the third user interface control,
• wherein the step of recording the telephone number is the skip queue is performed in response to detecting user selection of the third user interface control.
