We had a car hit us in a parking lot and our dash cam picked up the license plate. Princeton Police were worthless, so we are taking the investigation into our own hands. Google ad says they can provide owner information, but all this site was able to provide was the make and model of the vehicle (which we already knew!).
They answered quickly and were able to help me with what I needed.

I was led to believe Records Finder had a report on a VIN that was not being found on other sites. To view the record I was required to pay $12.95. I was at first hesitant based on my experience with previously explored sites. The come on, "we have your record ready to review" encouraged me to authorize a payment with a credit card. Much to my disgust I discovered Records Finder came up with the same result. Nothing. For which I paid $12.95.
From this experience I find the Records Finder site to be fraudulent. I cannot recommend them at all. I am challenging the credit card payment.
Hello Walt,
We sincerely apologize if you were not able to get results for your searches. This is an experience we don't want our customers to have. Rest assured, we'll further improve our services.
I went ahead and processed a refund of $29.90 for the two charges of $12.95 Single Report Purchase premium VIN.
Please expect this to reflect in 3 to 5 business days. Your account is now deactivated, and your email removed from our mailing list.

So when you use the free look up, it shows you all the reports that they seeming have. Then you pay and all it is is a report of generic information that you can google yourself. I want my money back for false advertisement
Hello Kendra,
We're sorry to hear about your experience. Please know that our site can only generate records that are available publicly.
The License Plate information you are trying to check is not available due to the following reasons. One, it is yet to update on our sources database; or the information is restricted access and under the protection of the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) that is why we could not pull out any report.
We see you are on our 1-month unlimited access that is good up to the 21st of July. If you fail to cancel, you will roll over into a monthly subscription of $14.98 until you cancel as agreed on check-out.

A total waste of money and time. As I know I was married and divorced yet your site didn't show the records
Hello Kimberley,
Thank you for sharing your review and bringing this issue to our attention. We understand your frustration, and we are sorry your experience didn't match your expectations.

Unfortunately, we can't guarantee complete or accurate information because publicly available information varies.

Signed up to find out the owner of a car with a teenager texting and driving. They found a phone number associated with the license plate, but when I reached out to the "supposed" owner I was told that they had sold that car two years ago. That means that the current owner of that car has a license plate that Record Finders associates with a non-owner. I requested a refund from Record Finders with no problems.

Hello, I thought Records Finder was a service available for Canada as well. Unfortunately not,. Only for a US search. But I will be charged only for a minimal welcoming fee of $7.00 for 7 days. I appreciated the sober presentation of Records Finder. I was provided with an excellent service afterwards with a Customer Service agent so patient with my French accent, although unable to help me in Canada. Thank you. Celine Beauchemin
Hello Celine,
Thank you for the review and for bringing this issue to our attention. We highly appreciate your business.
I understand that you were trying to get information from outside the US, specifically Canada, which, unfortunately, the site could not provide for now.
I also see here you haven't done any searches or use the service, so I took the liberty to cancel the service and process your full refund of $3.98 (USD). Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to go back to your card.
I hope we were able to make up for any inconvenience experienced by you. Have a great day ahead! Stay safe!

Answer: Hello Cherrita, Thank you for reaching out to us via Sitejabber. I understand what it might feel like to get charged for something you believed was cancelled. Please allow me to explain why you have been charged, after taking a look at your account, it appears we have not received an email in regards to cancellation. Also, on the checkout page, it's the customer that must agree to billing terms. These terms clearly state that if the customer chooses to cancel their account within the trial period, the trial fee will be the only amount billed. If the account is not canceled after the trial period, the customer will be charged the monthly billing fee. Please do not worry though, our Customer Care Team has already refunded the last three rebills that have occurred. Please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to be placed back onto your account. If you still have questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.
