This is a lousy service. I paid $27.00 and received little information. You want an additional $20.00 for a better report that sucks!

Of five inquiries, only one had all-valid data. The others had data mixed and mismatched or no data at all.

My address is incorrect, you do not have 2 of my children or my first wife! You did not disclose the full report! I assure you that your "report" needs many corrections! A person should be able to see their own report to make any corrections needed!

Your information is very out of date! I searched people that I know for a fact has criminal records social media accounts and relatives that are not listed here. This is nothing new that needs to be updated. This infor has been the same for many years for this search. So this website is no good. Thank goodness I didn't actually sign up for anything more than the trial.
Sorry but you really need to update your information on regular basis.

One hour into your company's service: 1) name & address page correct, 2) Next, That I died at age 58,3) That I never married. Was married for 40+ years, My husband was listed under relatives--states correct date of death-but list age as 82, which he would be if still living. 4) First of home address listed starting before we bought the property and did not include the one we lived in for over 25 years. How can I believe any information I need to gather on others if I can see mistakes on my own file? Yes, I am upset!
