    Total sham. Don't provide reports you paid for, take your money and run for the hills. This review about Truthfinder is ************ AWAY Avoid TruthFinder at ALL COSTS when it comes to background checks and Truthfinder.

    You have tarnished my name. There is false information on my report that I was charged with theft two times. I was not even in the state that it was reported in, and have NEVER been chat with theft! As an accountant, this is extremely damaging to my reputation!There should be negative stars for your business.

    This is a scam. I ran a background check on myself because I was curious to see what anyone running a check on me would see and the results were pathetic. I'd say 80% of the info was wrong, 10% was wildly outdated, 5% was correct but super incomplete and about 5% was accurate. This is one of the biggest wastes of money I've encountered recently. Do yourself a favor and skip their service. It's trash.

    The information they had on me was the accomplishments of another person. They claim to get the data from the government, but no explanation why my account, at best a quarter correct. What was right was outdated, so they must not update frequently or have humans viewing where the information is going. If my information was so wrong, I can't believe what they have written about others. This site is a waste of money.

    Thanks for not having me pay for information that is not the truth or accurate. Maybe just change your name to facts possibly associated with someone because the truth is a bit overreaching for the website. You have all my ex-wife's dead grandparents living with her, and the government updated those records years ago. You cant own up to what you are, but I guess the possible truth would not obtain as many users. Keep up ********************* should be skeptical about anything your organization has obtained and displayed under the term truth. A further example, the car you have my ex driving was totaled in 2016, but I guess you don't get information on registrations which begs the question, how did you know about the car in the first place? Maybe your sources are questionable too?

    They had an old charge listed for a family member of mine. The charge was dismissed the next day and expunged a few days later by the judge. This was over a year ago. However Truthfinder has it listed as a conviction and is still showing on their site. It was a charge not a conviction. Expunged means it is not supposed to be available for the public to see, and Truthfinder refuses to remove it. In addition, they have people linked as family members that we've never heard of and inaccurate emails, addresses and phone numbers for me and other family members. Total waste of time. They really need to change their name.

    I tried truthfinder, a free trial, had to give my credit card of course. I did a background check on myself, the first thing that happened is that if you want a complete background check then you pay extra for PDF'S, telephone numbers, email address ect so it turns out you pay a lot more than they they tell you.... and most of the information regarding me was incorrect. if you try this check yourself first. I can ked my subscription the same day as I started it, igot a cancelation email the same day and what do you know my card has been charged...I don't know about all the great reviews. But my experience makes me see Truthfinder as a scam...

Customers are sent a confirmation email for any orders placed on the site.When you cancelled your subscription online on May 25, 2022, only one of the subscriptions was cancelled. The subscription for Unlimited Internet Monitoring remained in place and the billing continued for that service.I can confirm that the Unlimited Internet Monitoring subscription was cancelled on August 8, 2022, and no further charges will be incurred. Additionally, I have refunded your account for all charges that were processed from May 2022 through today.Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department at ************ with any further questions.
