I was led to believe that my membership gave me premium access. But you're charging me an additional fee.

The information was incomplete and inaccurate. Marriages and divorces were left out as was other critical information. I think your promises raise to the level of false advertising. The person I delt with on the phone when i canceled my first account due to a bad email address was very nice. She confirmed that cancellation at *******, but when i signed up again got a very incomplete record. For example, Susan Hardy Hoey died on August 14,2021 and that was not in your records. Check out the obituary in the Santa Rosa, Press Democrat.

Why should I have to pay extra to find out the exact information that I already paid you people to compile for me once. That is just an absolute scam job, here let's pay to get all this information on a person... oh but wait now we need you to pay an additional fee to see all that information. BULL$#*!!

So far so good, as long as in a few days I don't find an absurd charge I haven't authorized… I have used people finders for many years on auto-pay, but all of a sudden out of the clear blue, I began seeing a monthly charge, in addition to my people finder charge for "Intellus" for $38.99! Apparently, some of peoplefinder's is now owned by Intellus, but not all. When another pop-up request for my name -email - etc, I didn't think to much of it until I saw my Apple Pay. I was being charged before "grandfathered-in" customers were even notified of the changes and even worse than that, I didn't use, or intend to use the service that was being offered. It took me approx 5 months to get all my money back, and they continued taking unauthorized charges from my account 4 of the 5 months.
