Report on Christopher Birkett
February 14, 2025
Updated review

Received a report with no information, even date of birth, and was charged $27.99 for it. Have sent emails and waiting for a response. Situations like this, the customer shouldn't have to wait.
Reran the report today after receiving your email stating that more information could be/has been uncovered on Christopher.
New report was the same with no information.

Report on Christopher Birkett contained NO information

Previous review

Requested a report on Christopher Birkett and received a report that contained NO information about Christopher Birkett. Not even his date of birth, so that I could insure it was the right person. Requesting a refund!

I signed up for the 1-month subscription today 2/3/2025, I received a report that was less than minimal. To receive any more information, I had to sign up for the Premium Report at an additional cost. This is not what your website says. Since this is false advertising, I want my money back today or I will be forced to contact my attorney.
Thank you

You should inform that you need to pay extra for Premium information, if I knew this earlier I would have never bought this.

BEWARE
January 14, 2025

They charge my credit card for $27 a month. I'm not using the service never intended to use the service started to fill out a search and then I canceled it and they started reoccurring charges on my credit card. It's next to impossible to get them to stop. I talk to my bank today and they said I can report fraud. I'm gonna do that Monday.

My experience using this site
November 26, 2024

My experience wasn't good after receiving the report. I had difficulty paging down the report to read it. Normally I could place my finger on the screen and slide upward to read more information. That doesn't work with this report. There's no page down information to click on either. Its confusing.

I've checked my own report a few times and they have me listed under my previous name, before I remarried. How can I alter the report for myself?
