The customer service team are very professional and helpful, they make sure to clarify any confusion and I get every information I need.
I was charged over $45 for ba report that when I clicked said $3.99. I'd give 0 stars if possible 3 charges to my bank and literally no real information. Canceled in 5 minutes but they seen to be cookie cutter responses to reviews with no actual resolution
The customer service team are very professional and helpful, they make sure to clarify any confusion and I get every information I need.
If I were to buy another subscription from any of the sites on the internet I suggest using a cash app card etc and only the right amount in that account so they can't keep charging. Be sure to turn off over draft pertection. I only purchased one subscription for $29.99 then I added two extra features for $2.99 each. Within 2 weeks I was charged for another $29.99 and multiple charges for $13.99 $7.99 $4.99 $2.99. I've been haggling with them for over a week and don't think I'm getting anywhere. I tried one more. I tried another app for $0.95 for 5 day trial but on the same day they charged me 3 times for total $69.97 I canceled by the time the trial was up. It was bout a week later when I saw the charges so I contact them by email and was told that it's company policy NOT TO GIVE REFUNDS which I think it should be illegal to do that. They said I didn't give good enough reason to warrant a refund as well. I've had it with these companies. Even after I canceled the subscription I still get charges.

I wanted to make sure that all my information is correct. Places I've lived are correct. Since my personal information (identity) has been hacked, I didn't want to find out that I lived somewhere else that I've never been to. My last known address in Colorado is correct since I've been off grid since 2017. I will definitely use your app again. Thank you for giving me some comfort.
Tip for consumers:
It’s helpful when doing background check on yourself. You don’t want to be surprised that you lived in another city let alone another state! More information you have, better search you will have.

There's this woman I like, but she completely ignores me. I Googled her name, and BINGO! Instant Checkmate was there for me. I was able to find out her present and past home addresses, her phone numbers (GREAT!), her family members, age, birthdate, and more. She won't be able to ignore me for long!
This is THE most comprehensive resource I have come across as far as publicly exposing personal information/doxing. Definitely recommended for unstable people looking to gain an edge in the game.:-)

I signed up for the 5 day trial and forgot to cancel on the 5th day. The $37 was pending in my account the next day and the agent was able to reverse it immediately and also offered me a lower price if I didn't cancel. I've dealt with other companies who were not so nice about the exact same thing, so I was honestly surprised that the agent was super friendly and happy to assist me, without any attitude or pressuring. Thank you!
Tip for consumers:
Don't forget to cancel your trial in the 5 day time period! But if you forget, you can call and they will help you out.

I needed to find someone so I could serve them with court papers. A whole year later I was still paying and not actively using the service. The customer service I received when I called to rectify my concerns was the best Ive ever encountered in any company Ive ever had to deal with. She listened to my whole story, understood my viewpoint and satisfied my request beyond my expectations. I could not say enough about how helpful she was and how impressed with her I am and I hope her supervisor knows how great she is at her job as well as how greatful I am. Thank you

I was disappointed with the service, but the lady on the phone sounded like she was very beautiful and forgive me butt only a hotty could have sounded that gorgeous and lively. Keep hiring more hot n sexy ladies peeps, she had a sense of humor and I find that very attractive in a woman.
That's my review, I was only interested in the sexy sounding lady, and I was just satisfied with her service and that sexy laugh of hers ya.
Be safe hot lady, we would have had a fun date, lol no jokes peeps she is probably drop dead gorgeous and probably with an $#*!, forgive my language but I calls it like I hears it.
Call me sexy!

This is the first site I found to be very comprehensive and extensive with information. Quite frankly I don't know what all the hoopla is about regarding customer service. Whenever I have had a concern, their customer service folks attend to the issue immediately with a satisfactory outcome.

Just called their 1-800 number to clarify a payment and the rep answered on the first ring and offered to combine payments and save me money, which I had no idea was an option. He went out of his way to thank me for my being a loyal customer for years and to go ahead and submit the combined payment plan right away. The searches that I've done over the years when looking up social and professional contacts have given me more peace of mind, and ultimately have provided myself and my family more safety. I'd highly recommend this site for its ease of use, friendly interaction of customer service, and commitment to providing a highly useful product to the web community and beyond.
