At Reign Investigations, our work is rooted in experience, legacy, and a deep respect for the repossession and lending industries.
Founder Shila Russell grew up in the repossession world. From an early age, she witnessed firsthand the realities of asset recovery; the long hours, the pressure, the precision, and the importance of doing the work the right way. That early exposure evolved into leadership, eventually leading her to buy out her parents and become the owner of the family repossession company herself.
While repossession was the foundation, Shila found her true passion on the investigative side of the business. She was drawn to skip tracing, the puzzle-solving, the hands on fieldwork, the persistence required to locate those hard to find assets. That passion led her to establish a private investigation company, which she successfully operated alongside repossession services for years.

After a season of relentless hustle and growth, Shila made the intentional decision to step away from the industry to focus on her most important role: raising her daughter. For several years, she poured herself into motherhood, building the same foundation at home that she once built in business.
Now, with her daughter in school, Shila is stepping back into the space. This time with clarity, focus, and purpose.
Today, Reign Investigations is dedicated to skip tracing support for lenders and repossession agents. Shila recognized a growing gap: troubled, aged, or heavily circulated accounts, that often require more than databases and automated tools. They require old-school legwork, investigative intuition, and follow-through.

Our mission is simple… to work alongside repossession agents and lenders as a force multiplier, not a replacement. We provide investigative support designed to help locate collateral earlier, strengthen recovery efforts, and reduce losses before accounts reach charge-off.
Where data alone runs thin, leg work begins.
Old-school methods. Relentless follow through. Built for partnership.
