Hi Karen,
Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We want to provide some clarity.
Intelius is not the source of the data in our reports — all information is pulled from public records and commercially available data sources, and we can only display what is made available to us. There are instances where certain records may be limited depending on what has been reported and made publicly accessible.
We have reached out through Trustpilot to request additional details so that we can locate your account and better assist you. If you would like to address this sooner, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at 877-564-3253, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

Hi Cliff,
Thank you for your feedback, and we want to address your concerns directly.
We want to clarify that when a user activates their account, they must provide an electronic signature authorizing Intelius to charge their card as described, including for the automatic renewal of their membership. Our billing terms are clearly explained on our registration page and in our Terms of Use, and a confirmation email is sent for all orders placed on the site. We also have no record of any prior cancellation request before January.
Regarding your account, it has been cancelled since January as a result of a chargeback filed with your financial institution. There have been no charges since that time. When a chargeback occurs, the account is placed in dispute with the financial institution, and we would encourage you to contact them directly for any refund requests as they will be able to provide you with the results of the dispute. Due to the chargeback, access to this account is no longer available.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at 877-564-3253, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Holiday hours may vary.

Hi Marie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are glad to hear that your refund was processed promptly. We do want to provide some clarity regarding the timeline of your account.
When you contacted us in February, you agreed to a reduced price all-access bundle, which was disclosed as a recurring subscription at the time of enrollment. This is why an additional charge was applied following that interaction. We understand this may not have been the outcome you were expecting, and we are sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
We appreciate your patience throughout this process and are glad we were ultimately able to reach a resolution for you. If you ever need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at 877-564-3253, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

Hi Susi,
Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that you were unable to access your report despite multiple attempts and calls to our team. We completely understand how frustrating that experience must have been.
We also want to provide some clarity regarding your search. The number you searched is an 888 number, which is a toll-free telephone number typically used by businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations. Searches involving toll-free numbers can sometimes take additional time to process, and in some cases may return no results at all. This can occur because not all 888 numbers are registered to a specific business — some may be VoIP numbers, meaning they are computer generated and are not tied to a specific individual or organization, which would result in no information being available in our reports.
We also want to address the technical difficulty you experienced. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we take feedback like yours seriously as we are always working to improve our platform.
We can confirm that your account has been cancelled and the pending charge has been fully reversed. Please allow 3–5 business days for the funds to reflect in your account, as processing times may vary depending on your financial institution.
If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at 877-564-3253, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Holiday hours may vary.

This website is a lie…
This website is a lie from the very beginning. When you start looking for specific information, it makes it seem like the site is searching for it, showing a loading illusion again and again, until finally, they convince you to pay to access the desired information. When you decide to pay, you realize you’ve been deceived because there are no actual results. You try again to search for the information, and after a few seconds, the expected response appears: “Sorry, there is no related information, this is unusual.” They are true masters of deception.

Hi Leo,
Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We want to address your concerns and provide some clarity.
Intelius does not claim to be a free service anywhere on our website, and all billing details are clearly presented before any payment is submitted. The search process does take some time as our system works to compile information from multiple public record databases, and we understand this can feel lengthy. We are always working to improve the overall user experience for our members.
Regarding the information in your report, Intelius is not the source of the data — all information is pulled from public records and commercially available data sources, which may contain errors and are not always complete. There are instances where certain records may not be fully accessible through public databases, which can result in limited or no results for a particular search. We encourage you to use our reports as a starting point and to independently verify any information before relying on it.

Hi Effie,
Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that you were not able to locate the correct person in your search. We want to offer some tips that may help you find the right results.
We recommend trying your search with different variables to help narrow down the results. For example, try searching with or without a city, or search by state instead. If the individual may have gone by a different name at any point, such as a maiden name or nickname, try searching under that name as well. Additionally, removing the age filter can sometimes broaden the results and help surface the correct report.
If you continue to have difficulty locating the correct person, our Customer Care team would be happy to assist you in navigating your search. Please don't hesitate to contact us at 877-564-3253, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Holiday hours may vary.
