Description
I searched for a way to get public records. It was advertised as only costing $1 or $5 for the record which I paid using my credit card. Then I started getting recurring charges that I did not sign up for or authorize. It started as $5 an increased to $20 twice a month. I noticed two months later and disputed the charges with my credit card company. I also called the number on the charge and got a woman on the phone who said she closed my account.
