Hi Dave,
We gather data from public records and other reliable sources to deliver the best information possible. However, as noted in our Terms of Use, some data may not be entirely accurate or complete due to limitations in public records. Additionally, shared names or identifying characteristics can occasionally result in inaccuracies. We recommend using our reports as a starting point for your own research.
Please note the charge is for unlimited access, allowing you to run as many searches as you like during your membership. That said, we’ve gone ahead and issued you a full refund. Please allow 3–5 business days, depending on your financial institution, for the refund to reflect. A follow-up email with confirmation has also been sent to you directly.
If you need further assistance, you can reach us at 877-564-3253, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time). (Holiday hours may vary.)

On Point
Your representative "Nicholas" was on "point" in his "task" which was to explain in detail what Inteluis had in store for me. An opportunity to get an "upgraded" service for basically less, WoW! The "upgrades" which could "only" be beneficial to the already given benefits. Great Job!

I found it very difficult to cancel my short subscription. The automated system kept asking me to confirm my zip code, but refused to accept my correct zip code when entered. It took many attempts to finally reach a human, who finally and politely cancelled my subscription.

False advertisement
I just tried to use intellius, I filled out all the questions and wait for it to load. It's supposed to be free well after waiting for it to load, it ask for your credit card information. Why would you need my credit card information if your supposed to be free. That's false advertisement

Hi Jennifer,
We’re truly sorry for the frustration this caused. We understand how disappointing it can feel when expectations don’t match the experience. While our reports are not offered for free, our goal is to provide clear, organized access to public record information from a wide range of sources. Delivering this data in a reliable and easy-to-read format requires significant resources, which is why billing information is requested before providing full access.
That said, we always strive to keep our membership costs reasonable and transparent so you can get the information you need quickly and efficiently. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, our Customer Support team is available at 877-564-3253, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

All the info, except for the one thing I needed
I paid for the service simply to find a birthdate of a particular person. I was provided everything except that. Complete waste of an hour of my time waiting for information to load, then sorting through it, only to see I got everything except what I was looking for.
