I can not tell why this company still exists. It listed under age minor info which is dangerous. 80% of the info I searched end up inaccurate, outdated, or falsify. No point about reputation score if info is false, no matter how good its secrecy algorithm - probably also a scam by itself.
While the information is not always accurate, this site is critical for those of you who are on dating sites. You can corroborate much information to determine their truthfulness. You can get their most recent address in 95 percent of the cases and other cities and states in which they have lived. You can, more importantly, find out if they have any criminal offenses. I was about to meet a guy who had several... one for theft over $1000. Needless to say, I stopped communicating with him. I also found MYSELF... and the bankruptcy I filed decades ago. That didn't please me but it is what it is. The guy I'm dating now has NO criminal records, NO liens, No nothing. I feel safe. This site to me was worth the money I paid for 6 months.
I wish I'd done my homework before opting for a subscription trial on this site because there's a current class action lawsuit and for good reason. My "free" trial cost me $55 and that's just the first charge. I've now read countless reviews of MyLife.com charging more than what their customers signed up for in addition to several people saying their information on the site is inaccurate, including false criminal charges. Those responsible for this site are the ones who should be charge with a crime.
I'll post this anywhere I can to help people avoid being victims.
Once signed on, they send you frequent email updates about "new" information on people you are searching for. Then when you go onto the site, there is nothing really of interest. They seem to point you to info on other sites such as Ancestry.com. Well, frankly, i can go to Ancestry.com myself, without paying a subscription to Mylife to get me there. Feel it is not worth it at all...
I have been charged $170 for NEVER using their services! I keep getting emails from them telling me there is one man and two women doing background checks on me. To be very honest, I have no reason to worry about my background check because I haven't done anything I wouldn't want others finding out about. I need my money back, please - I'm currently unemployed due to an illness - have mercy on me - I'm already hand to mouth, I cannot afford to be scammed off $170!
How do you take family members that not mine off my name on mylfe. I do not know the people like Germani R Hill, Wanda Lopez Washington?
MyLife pretends to have legitimate information about an individual. Once you sign up (which requires automatic monthly renewals of $10.95), you will see your own information, but you cannot correct any negative and erroneous items they have supposedly picked up somewhere. It's a total scam to get you to spend $ and receive nothing in return. Their assigned "reputation score" went from 4.3 to 1.4 in just one month! That's how they get you interested in finding out what they're about. They also try to hook you in by telling you how many people have been looking at your information, although you will never find out specifically who they are - even with the "subscription." Please don't fall for this!
The information is inaccurate and misleading. Says you have criminal when you do not.
When I asked them to remove my info they said no it is public info (wrong info). But if I paid them then they could help. Don't give them any money.
"With your MyLife.com Premium Membership you can request removal of your information from over 35 websites that publish and sell personal information."
"The information on each profile page is gathered from public sources, which can be easily found online using a simple Google search. This information will not be removed as these types of information are considered "public records" under the law, which means that anyone has the right to access them"
Called MyLife's customer support number *******133 to verify i could easily cancel their $1.00 trial offer. I waited for 31 minutes with my number blocked as I didn't want nuisance call backs. As soon as I became 1st in their queue and whoever answered immediately hung up without even saying hello.
While waiting I noticed their monthly charge would be $19.95 however if you continue after the $1.00 trial offer the charge would be $24.95/month. You can read this yourself in their disclaimer below their subscription choices and credit card info entry.
After reading the other reviews and not being able to get a hold of a representative I HIGHLY recommend you stay away from MyLife if you want a life of your own.
When they don't have enough info on the person mylife spices up the report with warnings of criminal activities. I am shocked to discover that on screen 1, I "possibly" have a criminal history when I never even stole a parking spot from anyone. I guess I would have to pay to find out what the heck I never did in the first place. This site is outrageous. My integrity is essential to my business and yet under the cover of free enterprise any lowlife scum can tarnish it for profit. What an unethical organization. I don't know how their employees can look at their moms, spouses or kids in the eyes. If I could rate it -10 I would but no such option. They sure don't deserve a 1
"Mireille I.", I have the same problem, this is outrageous.
They should be named defamation.com

Where we can complaint about it? A class action lawsuit maybe?
Unfortunately I didn't scan for reviews before joining as I was in a somewhat grief stricken state. I just found out that a friend from HS who I'd been trying to locate was actually deceased. The ONLY reason that I joined was to reach out to her parents in a non-intrusive way since I don't know the details and it happened almost 18 years ago. I cancelled immediately and hopefully won't have to fight with their billing dept. I've already disabled the automatic renew so fingers crossed. What jerks. I am more than happy to get the word out that they're crap. You have been warned!
They suck you in with a promise that you'll get more details about someone for free, but after going through multiple screens and registering, etc., you're finally delivered to a screen that forces you to choose between subscription plans. In other words, agree to pay or get zero info. Hey, just be honest at the outset and don't waste our time. Compete on price and service, not on false promises of free services that don't exist!
What a joke, they say it's free, then when you finally get thru their "scans" to get to the report, surprise you have to subscribe! That's not all, you sign up for a monthly plan and they charge your credit card for a whole year! At least it only cost me 36 bucks. A lesson I won't forget, please check online first for into on companies that you are interested in. The internet can be a very bad and costly endeavor!
Inaccuracies. Looked up multiple people I know as well as myself to check accuracy before proceeding to use for my intended business purpose. Virtually everything I found was either inaccurate or simply non existent. Worst than useless because of the inaccuracies. Contacted by phone and given NO resolution or offer of any kind of return of monies paid.
Just Googled my name to see what comes up. Found a link to mylife.com, so I clicked on it. While some information is correct (family members), and a bit concerning how much of my personal info is out there, the most concerning was a low reputation score attributed to my arrests and criminal convictions" - neither of which I have. The worst anyone will find even close are some old traffic tickets, which were dealt with timely and properly.
In researching, there is no easy way to correct this information. They certainly push for you to subscribe to their service and then you can hide' certain details of your profile. Why should I pay to hide incorrect information? Oh, and they don't guarantee you can hide the parts that are actually incorrect.
I have sent an email request to have my information removed, however, reading the reviews, I don't hold much hope of that happening.
If anyone is up for a class action lawsuit, I'm in!
What a corrupt company, they have deliberately make it impossible for people (customers) to deactivate their automatic renewal process. A very dishonest company that has made me (and will make you) work from frustration to get them out of "my life." I highly recommend that you use another reputation website.
Where does "MyLife" get their information? 1) I'm not married. 2) I don't make anything close to $70,000 from Social Security. 3) I've never been arrested, and I never appeared in court except for jury duty. 4) I have nothing to do with publishing. 5) I don't have a middle initial. How does bogus web sites like this get away with all those lies?
They get you going by listing all types of info that are supposedly available, but when you finally sign up, and put in your credit card information, nothing comes up. Not even if you look yourself up... what you might get as a result of your search is the person's email address and a bogus "reputation rating " based on "God knows what" factors...
This site has posted fraudulent relatives, fraudulent arrest record, fraudulent lien record, etc. Nothing about their reputation scores is accurate for me or my husband or son. I checked them all.
Be VERY careful about using their information, as it could get you sued. I threatened to sue them and they are removing my name in 5 days, they said. If it pops up again, I'm suing.
Answer: MyLife has a "bad reputation" for charging customers after the 7-day trial even after you cancel your membership. It's a scam site.
Answer: It's called extortion. I, too, marvel that it still exists. Where are consumer protections? Unless it is so discredited that prospective employers just ignore it. Who would pay the exorbitant price for it, anyway? It has duped a lot of people, it appears and, for that reason, it should be put out of business. I just tweaked them with an email. Let's see how low my integrity "rating" goes down with its current 4.0, which in and of itself is a joke.
Answer: Don't bother, they will not honor the request! Create your own spam filter so they are not displayed in your inbox. If you really care, forward them to the spam dept. of your ISP. If enough people do that they will die out thru attrition. They have an $800 million judgement against them and will be forced into bankruptcy soon. Problem is they just rename the site and start again in another state. Takes being chased down and prosecuted to death state by state. Such is our wonderful legal system of loop holes letting these businesses exist and operate while simultaneously being prosecuted in another jurisdiction. Makes no sense to anybody but the scam artists and state legislatures on the take $$$$
Answer: Goodluck. It's a scam this site is completely bogus as not worth a second thought
Answer: Sadly, just like a famous rock star once said: "only the good die young"
Answer: Because it's fraud and once they get your account number they just charge whatever they feel like to your account without letting you know.
Answer: You have to contact them via email and request removal. It takes a few days. Copy the URL and reference it in your email. Google: how to delete your name from MY LIFE and follow the instructions.
