I believe some of the information especially under charges is incorrect. And that is not right to have wrong info o. Someone. How about is it it that this information is collected
Great information was gathered that was very useful
Great price for such valuable information. Very simple to navigate.
I was looking for criminal background on a person that has one but this site shows none
Outdated info that was all hyped up for y'all to just squeeze some money from someone who is seriously stressed and skeptical of a potentially dangerous man.
Posts other names from what I ask and would prefer to have optional middle names
Can't find correct info. In many reports. Such as known arrests and bankruptcies. Many people didn't come up at all. Tried to find sex offenders living near children in my family. Unable to tell how close or far they were so info. Was useless to me.

Good info, except for wrong dates on some searches
They're overall layout is easy to understand and easy to navigate. Also it's more detailed than other sites that generally offer background checks allowing me to go further adept into somebody's criminal History to better understand the Dynamics at play.
I can't find and photos of who I'm looking up and it feels like I'm just traveling in circles.
Dear Randy,
Thank you for your question. Please be aware that our site includes billions of data elements that are available in our national database. If you are not seeing information on our site, then that means that the data you are looking for is not publicly available. So, even if you are positive that something occurred, it’s not guaranteed that the information has been digitally archived correctly by the court system or governing agency so it’s possible that your data is not yet available. For some people this is a good thing because negative information might be difficult or impossible to find.
In addition, every county processes their data differently and sometimes there are delays. As a member, you will be emailed with an update when any information on the people that you are monitoring changes. This way you will always be the first to be alerted.
One of the key features of our membership is your ability to run unlimited background searches and create reports on as many people as you like. We recommend you run a check on yourself and your loved ones so that you know what information is publicly available, you might be surprised and some of the information might not be correct. In addition, you can monitor up to four people at a time so if any information changes in our database on the people you choose to monitor, you get an email alert updating you of that change.
We hope this addresses your concern. If you have any questions, please reply to this email or call us at 1-800-617-3169 from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PST 7 days a week and our friendly member support staff will be happy to assist you.

Very informative. Most of the information is up to date.
It's ok but I'm looking up people that I know have warrants and it's saying they don't

I paid for this site, and the information isn't up to date on the person I'm looking at or myself. Has me living at a place I haven't lived at in almost 7 years. Load of crap
