This site puts people's lives in danger.

They refuse to opt out or remove information on people who are legitimate victims of crime or identity theft. By law they MUST provide an opt out feature.

They are scum. Do not give them your money. Report them to the FTC and *******@godaddy.com and the BBB

Buyer beware
April 13, 2019

I started a subscription with ID true so that I could check on one person. I only needed a little information about a person who had been killed in an accident and I was helping his wife look for any hidden bank accounts or life insurance information that she didn't know about. As soon as I ran all of the reports I canceled my subscription. Now six months later I happened to see that I'm still being charged. It's my fault for not diligently looking over my credit card charges. But after canceling I have continued to pay $38 a month for the past six months on a service that I have not used.

Rip off
July 8, 2022

I am very dissatisfied with this company. I signed up in April, I tried to log in with all of my information, and it was not letting me, so it seems I ended up with two accounts(which I was totally an aware of). I noticed in June $44.95 was taken out of my account 2 times. I called and it was refunded. I have had a lot of things going on with my Venmo account so I figured I would go through all of my charges and see what else I had. It showed that $44.95 was taken out 2 times in May. I called to discuss why $44.95 was taken out 2 times before, and that's when I was told I had 2 accounts. I could not be refunded because they can only go back one month. I used this company maybe for a week or two tops, it didn't have a lot of what I was looking for, so to be charged two times for something that I definitely didn't use more then a few days really is ridiculous. They can clearly see I never used it in May or June, which I can see paying $44.95 because I did not cancel, but to refuse to give me a refund because they can only go back one month is just greed on the company's part. I'm saying save your money it is not with what your paying for even for one month or the $9.95 trial.

Found What I Needed!
November 5, 2015

I see a lot of reviews, but I signed up for the service, and the report gave me just what I needed to find. I called in to talk to customer service and talked to Ashley, and she was very helpful about my account.

Simple Opt-Out
June 5, 2017

I read the reviews below, but they must be old or just plain wrong. I went to the website and clicked on the opt out link on the bottom of the page@ https://www.idtrue.com/optout. They send you an email and your info is removed instantly.

The unlawful charges were removed on the next statement after I brought the problem to their attention. I did take the issue to my credit card company who resolved it. But the automatic billing should not have happened in the first place since I had cancelled the service. As for the information, I have no comment about that since I barely used the site.

Inaccurate info
June 8, 2015

Don't give out your credit card to them. They'll keep billing until you have to cancel your card. I found out info from website was false. I asked for a refund out of principle, they denied and kept billing my card

Called ID TRUE 5 minutes after signing up. They cancelled the account. If I did not call then there would be a repeating charge on my charge card. This is not noted obviously on the site. Not to mention it does not work. Period. I am a landlord and have used background check sites. This site is a total ripoff.
Sales rep told me I would still be charged a $9.95 ACCOUNT SETUP FEE.
This is outrageous. I suggested it would be good business practice to refund the entire charge and have positive reviews as I was going to call my credit card company to block the charge anyway.
The customer rep told me there was no way to get my money back.
So they ripoff millions this way by reinterpreting the initial charge as a "SETUP CHARGE" when there is a dispute.
And, the site does not work.

How do you day FREE people search and then ask for money AFTER you take my time to put in info and wait for report then ask for money. Instead of doing the money request first. I THOUGHT FREE MEANT FREE

Ripoff Site
October 22, 2017

Hindsight is always 20 20. Wish I had read the reviews and researched ID True before I let them have my money. Tried to run a report after signing up and all I got was a page saying "loading report". After letting that run for about 30+ minutes, I closed my browser and tried again. Same results again. This site is a bonafide ripoff. Time to contact my credit card, the FTC and the CFPB/

The search results provided incomplete and errronus information. I was un able to log into the website after the initial search even though I was charged for monthly access. The error message I repeatedly received said to many redirects to load page. Do not use.

RUN AWAY!
December 22, 2017

Do not pay for this service! It only lets you do a couple of searches (which are missing most of the information!) and then it blocks you, so that the page wont even load! They will scam you! RUN FAR AWAY FROM IDTRUE!

BIGGEST SCAM EVER
July 14, 2015

Stay clear of these people. They list aliases for people that do not even correspond to the same gender as the person, they charge your card promising you records but do not deliver anything, they will not refund you until you put MULTIPLE blocks on your credit card. There is no way to contact legal, even the supervisor in their "boiler room" sales floor admitted they cannot get answers from *******@idtrue.com (their legal) nor *******@idtrue.com they are 100% fraudulent. REPORT THEM TO THE FTC, IT TAKES 5 MINUTES AND IT CAN SHUT THEM DOWN. Also write to *******@godaddy.com and report them.

Non-FCRA companies like this one are fake. You're not only paying for less info than what's available on a Google search, but you're paying for WRONG info. These assclowns and all their scumbag buddies have me listed as a 66yo pedo in California and my sister listed as a MAN. I've reported them to the Federal Trade Commission. Anyone who cares about mother$#*!ers losing jobs because of these $#*!ups will too. Here's the link: http://www.ftc.gov/faq/consumer-protection/submit-consumer-complaint-ftc
