Check People Reviews Summary

CheckPeople.com presents a mixed reputation among its users. On the positive side, many customers appreciate the quality and accuracy of the background checks, citing detailed reports and useful information that can be difficult to find elsewhere. However, significant concerns arise regarding deceptive billing practices, with numerous complaints about unauthorized subscription charges and difficulties in canceling services. Customer service experiences are often criticized for being unresponsive or overly focused on upselling rather than addressing issues. Overall, while some users find value in the service, the prevalent negative feedback highlights a need for greater transparency and improved customer support.

It Worked Out
July 7, 2021

I was one day late in cancelling and called to see if they could refund my charge and I am glad it all worked out in the end.

I was hesitant at first to use a background checker to make sure the person that I was buying a car from on marketplace was legit. I am glad, I did and it saved me a few headaches.

After a scammer kept calling my phone I had enough of dealing with him and reverse checked the phone number and found the person that was bothering me.

This site tried to charge $29 for initial trial although it's advertised for $1. Thankfully my cc declined it and sent me a fraud alert.

I signed up for the 7 day free trial, canceled after 3 days and they continued to take $29.15 for 3 months. Everytime I called customer service they would sound like they wanted to help you but in reality they aren't. The weird thing is the employees sounded like they from India but when I asked what country their from, he said Florida, thats BS! I had to call my bank and they had to take charge. Don't go through what I did. Their are plenty of other reviews on this site that say the same thing, I wish I would have read them before this nightmare. You've been warned. The other positive reviews are probably from employees that work there.

BEWARE of unbelievably deceptive pricing! They advertise the report as a one-time $1 charge but in the fine print they sign you up for a monthly reoccurring charge of $30 if you do not "cancel" within 3 business days. There is no mention on their website that you are being charged after you accidentally sign up. No mention of a credit card being on file or any mention of recurring monthly charges like any other website with a subscription model. The fact that you can't cancel on the website or see that you are subscribed to a monthly charge on the website is a clear indication that their business is dependent on people not knowing that they are being charged. In fact when I go to the website it asks me if I want to "enable" monthly reporting when in reality it has been enabled all long without being reflected on the website.

I'm out $90 because of their shady business practices

I do quite a few background checks so it's worth paying the subscription instead of paying for each search/report separately.

They trick you into signing in with $1 so they can charge you $30 monthly afterward. Never before have I encountered such disgusting business practices. Then the representative I talked to said I had to read the fine print? How does this company live with themselves stealing from hard working people? I only wanted an address history for myself. Not worth the $70 plus that was stolen from my account.
