I paid for 1 month of unlimited reports but all I can see so far is name age date of birth and address. Not happy with what I can see. I was offered more info for an additional amount

Incomplete Report
August 24, 2022
Updated review

I think this should be a one-time Flat fee. The process is fast and easy. The customer must call back within 30 days to cancel to avoid another monthly bill. This is an inconvenience.
This report was not as thorough as initially stated. The ad gives a false impression that $27.95 is all needed for a complete report. To get a full report, you will have to pay an additional $19.95 for a premium cost. This is not explained in the initial process.

The expectations are not clear, and I am a very disappointed customer. I will not be using the service again.

The process is fast and easy. What I do not like about the process overall, the customer has to call back to cancel within 30 days to avoid being billed again. This should be a one-time Flat fee. This is an inconvenience.

This is a waste of money. Just trying to upsell. Information is nebulous and even the basics are incomplete and inaccurate.

I checked on someone who has had alcohol problems and driving my granddaughter and wanted to make sure he hadn't been arrested for drunk driving. This company showed that he had multiple criminal records before I paid for record. So I paid and then now it shows he has none. They falsely report just so you will buy report! DO NOT USE THEM!
