  They advertized to find veterans and when I clicked on it the page had in big letters, "military records". I paid the money then they wanted more money to download the results. They also wanted money for a dark web scan. The report I got had a similar name. The town they provided was one he never lived in. They had his date of birth wrong and no military service records. That was all I got from Instant checkmate. This is no way to treat a decorated veteran. You, as the BBB should not be giving Instant checkmate an A+ rating. That was the only reason I chose them.

  I was automatically subscribed to a monthly subscription with Instant Checkmate without my knowledge. It was done using a company email last year that was assigned to me at said time, which was at a job I resigned from soon after these charges started. This company has been charging me $35.12 for 11 monthly payments, all for services I never used.As I resigned from the position at my previous employment, I had no access to the email account used with **********************. Having no access to that email, I received no notifications of services, nor could i have used them should i have desired to, as access to the email account is required to get into their site account. To recap, I did not know I had been signed up for their service, I couldn't be notified I was being charged for their service by email, and could not use the service being charged for. Sounds like fraud I would think.I contacted the company for a refund, to which i received a canned response and promise of an unsatisfactory refund of two months payments. I did not use their services once in those 11 months, could not have used them, and am outraged I have been stolen from. Please help me receive the funds unfairly appropriated from me, I have a family i support by working a full time AND a separate secondary job. I have many bills to pay, all while every cost around me climbs higher and higher.

  I purchased a one-month background check and the company put me on a monthly subscription. They also charged me for a check and there was inaccurate and very little information on it. The background check was basically blank and no useable. I attempted to call and email the company, but their phone numbers ring a few times and then hang up. I also attempted to send an email without a response. I would like a refund because the product is not what I paid for.

  After discovering I was able to easily find my physical address without even paying for their service and then reviewing the website FAQ's and the process to have my data removed, I emailed Instant Checkmate telling them they did not have permission to have or use any of my data or to display or sell my public record information to anyone and that it needed to be removed from their website entirely. They replied with a link to a process to "suppress" my information but will not remove it from their database. When I followed the instructions sent to have my data removed, I was also "denied" this request because they "were unable to find a record associated with this email". This "suppression process" requires I confirm even more of my personal information to them, which is unacceptable given they keep the data! lndividuals' private information is leaked onto the dark web by hackers constantly. Not only is this dangerous, but the easy ability for anyone to see addresses puts people, particularly females, in danger of stalking and harassment. This "business" needs to be shut entirely down and the "public record data" they have collected all in one place destroyed. This "business" is unconscionable.

  The response sent by Instant Checkmate is essentially a rewording of what they have already stated to do, which I have already stated is unacceptable. I have already stated that the profile I found belonged to me and sent a link to it from my email -- that is verification enough. As you can see from their response, they will still retain all data they have on me and will still release it "for personal use only" to anyone who asks for it, which still leaves me open to stalking and harassment, which I have experienced before and am unwilling to go through again. This "business" is asking for me to verify more of my personal information as a means of extortion, which I will not go quietly along with. They absolutely have the capacity to delete all my data from their websites so that it isn't shown to anyone at all, and are simply refusing to do so in order to extort more personal information out of me and other people like me.

  In order for me to be satisfied with Instant Checkmate's action, this business needs not only to have removed my phone number and email address from its database as they stated, but also my name, physical address(es), and any other information associated with my identity from its database. Once this occurs and is accounted for in writing, I will consider the case closed. I do not give my consent for this company and/or any of its affiliated websites to collect and store my personal information.

  I have contacted the company a few times to remove my personal information from their repository and have not received any useful response. The website is designed in a way that prevents people from removing their information in a direct and simple way. I followed the instructions but the instructions online are outdated and do not allow me to progress. The website tells me to go to a link that actually is not available on the webpage that I was directed to. My safety is at risk with my personal data being available through this company and I need them to provide working instructions to suppress my personal information online.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.
