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.

I signed up for ONE month and was charged again and had to dispute it. Foreign people on phone line and difficult to understand. The information I saw on the people I checked was very out dated by at least 4 years and was not accurate at all. All legal matters were incomplete and did not show resolution. Volunteer organizations associated with person were totally bogus... not a single one was true and must have been from some other person. THIS IS A WASTE of time and has been reported many times to BBB.

Just another one of these scam companies that promise the fee is only $1.00 and then you find a $29.99 charge on your credit card. I guess they hope that you will not notice the charge. Just a total waste of time because their service was crap anyway. I got the same info from a simple Google search.
DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO!

When I looked myself up
October 24, 2021

So i decided to give this a try to see what actually pops up on a background check for myself.
TLDR: Had Minimal correct info. Had incorrect information. Mainly Unknown info.
1. Had my full name
2. Did not have my phone number
3. Had mothers email as my email
4. Had my current and previous address.
5. Did not know my DOB, Height, Gender, Hair, eye color, race or language.
6. Listed 1 speeding ticket from 2012
7. Listed social media friends AND family members of social media friends as "Possible associate"
(EX: Dad of xbox live friend… who I do not know"
8. Did not know Job history
9. Did not know education history
10. Did not know vehicles owned current or previous
11. Did not know social media profiles
12. Did not know usernames
13. Did not know business affiliates or certifications
14. Did not know licenses, driver or other
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main info I did see was a speeding ticket from 2012 still on my record, other than that nothing of value was learned.

Customer service was great for me. Was able to have all my questions answered, and also got some insight on how to make the most of my plan.

This is the only site that will not honor opt-out requests. You fill out their form and then they contact you via email asking you to confirm the opt-out. You confirm the opt-out and they ignore you.

Their BBB review is rated F. That is a red flag and one should not do business with them.

Next step is filing with the Illinois Attorney General.

Fantastic site!
October 4, 2021

Fantastic site! I've been doing some online dating recently and my mother mentioned that the idea of me going out and meeting up with strangers made her a bit nervous. I decided to look online for a way for me to get more information about the people I was talking to, and Check People doesn't disappoint!

Waste of money and time
September 22, 2021

Not only do they advertise "free" public records check but it takes you through a 20 minute long stunt, just to bring you to a charge of $30 a month. But wait there's more, if you only charge $5 dollars now you can can be charged $30 in 3 days, what a deal! My eyes couldn't roll harder.

I tried it and I just wanted to see what it said about my dad's criminal charges and even though he charged with 37 years and has been in prison for multiple felonies for over 5 years it only had to show me a dismissed traffic ticket from 15 years ago. This site is hot garbage.

False advertising
September 15, 2021

I have check the address of my best friend who's l lost contact on 9/7/21 and being promised to pay 1$ for 7 days trial. What a surprise was waiting for me today 9/11/21 when I check my account 29.17$ already charged? Date for charge is 9/13/21. Reaching customer service another "nice" experience. Michelle not even listening my request for cancellation was continuing her speech with further advertising?!?!?! ‍ Poor practice and culture

My worse experience with a service. I only agree to pay $1, and the $30 monthly charge was hidden and nowhere in sight, to see it. I understand that we can overlook the fine print, but any organization will understand and work/help the custumer, but not them. The way you show that $1 that I agree to pay, show me the other charges so I can AGREE or NOT to pay, and then you won't have to pay all that stuff to take the phone calls from the customers that you tricked into being charged all those fees.
If you do the math, you will be better off this way.

Beware scam
August 20, 2021

I did this because it said 1 dollar, later finding out they charged me 6.99 and 29.17. Price sure rose. I called to cancel, the guy stated that he could only refund me the 29.17 and it could take up to 25 days to get credit back to my bank. Now the next day I get another charge for 1 dollar, are you fricken kidding! Don't do it not worth the rip off

I gave Check People a try and found them easy to work with. While I did get signed up, when I called to inquire they issued me a refund. It's helpful as I don't use the service all that often.
