    I thought I could cancel this anytime! But they have continued to charge my account. I only wanted one month. I am contacting PayPal To seek restitution. I want my money refunded and this contract cancelled. I have already asked one time!

    Dear *****,When a user activates their account, they must provide an electronic signature authorizing TruthFinder to charge their card as described, including for the automatic renewal of their membership. Our Billing Terms are conspicuously explained on our registration page and in our Terms of Use. Customers are sent a confirmation email for any orders placed on the site.Customers are able to cancel online from within their account, through our Customer Phone Support, or by sending an email to [email protected]. After a thorough investigation, we have determined that no cancellation attempts were made through any of these channels. As a courtesy, we have cancelled all memberships and refunded the two recurring charges on this account back to the payment option used to enroll, and no further charges will be incurred. Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department at ************ with any further questions. We are available to assist you during regular business hours, from 7:00am - 4:00pm Pacific time (10:00am - 7:00pm Eastern time) daily, including weekends. (Holiday hours may vary.)Sincerely,TruthFinder Support

    I did a search on the Truthfinder website, paid for want I believed was a one-time fee for the search. Months later, I discovered that they had automatically signed me up for a "subscription" and started charging my credit card for the ongoing service. From y perspective they practice deceptive business practices.

    I did not approve of my information to be added to this site and while I know it "gathers" information from other sources, the information provided is completely false. Additionally, it has also put me in a situation where I've had to explain that the information provided on background checks is false - this has led to me either not being accepted for jobs or having to explain that the information is not valid and somehow show proof. It's exhausting and it's affecting my livelihood. I am requesting that all of my information be removed from the site immediately. I do not give consent to use my information at all. Please remove my information immediately.

    Dear *******,TruthFinders information is gathered from many public sources including local county courthouses, census bureaus, and other sources of public information. We do not create or add to the information we obtain. While we cannot remove specific records from a report, we do have the option to remove an entire background report from our site. The information obtained from a report is for personal use only.Unfortunately, we were unable to identify a report or validate your identity based on the information provided. If you are able to locate the result corresponding to you on one of the sites, please take a screenshot of that result and email it to us at [email protected]. Also, please provide other email addresses or phone numbers that you may have used to help validate your identity. That information will only be used to process your request.Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department at ************ with any further questions.

    Don't waste your money. The report gives you information you can get on your own. They also stated you could cancel anytime. I canceled the next day and they charged me 30 days later for my subscription. A subscription I had canceled. It's a scam!!!!!!!

    Please don't waste your money, they are a complete scam. I tried to find an old marriage certificate and divorce papers. The site did not even have my correct birthdate. (and I have a very unique name) It was baffling to me just how wrong the info was. They did not even get correct info right (such as LinkedIn) The other scam is that they charge you another 4 dollars processing fee to access your record once you pay up to view.

    I paid $30 out of curiosity to see what would come up on my own report. 10+ errors including easily searchable information such as my date and year of birth. You are also bombarded with upsell options after the $30, including having to pay to download the report, and more upsell attempts as you sort through your results. Not worth the one-time $30 fee, and certainly not worth an ongoing $30 fee. Clearly, I'm not the only one experiencing such disappointing results. Maybe instead of a lengthy response to your unreliable (and not free) product your time would be better invested improving your product.

    This site is NOT Free!Do NOT believe their statement, or statements by other sources which may appear reputable. This site is NOT Free at all! Just like all the other sites, you jump through many hoops, wait patiently, then when your report is finally ready you are asked to provide credit card information. Do not waste your time as I did.
