      Dear ******,When a user activates their account, they must provide an electronic signature authorizing Instant Checkmate to charge their card as described, including for the automatic renewal of their membership. Our Billing Terms are conspicuously explained on our registration page and in our Terms of Use. Customers are sent a confirmation email for any orders placed on the site.In addition to our regular membership fees, we also offer upgrades which may result in additional payments on a customer's account. These upgrades must also be authorized by the customer in the manner listed above. We have verified that all memberships have been cancelled and all authorized payments have been reversed. Therefore no charges have been billed to your account. Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department at ************ with any further questions. We are available to assist you during regular business hours, from 6:00am - 7:00pm Pacific time (9:00am - 10:00pm Eastern time), Monday Friday.Sincerely,Instant Checkmate Support

      Hi ******,While an inaccurate report is rare, this can occur from time to time. We gather our information from numerous public sources. This information is then uploaded to our database. When you purchase a background report from Intelius, we guarantee that we will search every database available to us. However, because we simply display records as they are provided to us, we cannot guarantee the content of the records that *** show ** in a final report.We have previously refunded this account back to the payment option used to enroll, and no further charges will be incurred. Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department at ************ with any further questions. We are available to assist you during regular business hours, from 7:00am - 5:00pm Pacific time (10:00am - 8:00pm Eastern time), Monday Friday.Sincerely,Intelius Support

      Beware! This is nothing but a scam company! They take you all the way to the end and upcharge you. . . You can not decline any additional services and the only way to escape the page is to shut off your computer. These people should ashamed of themselves! Would like to find out the backbround of the owners and staff that work there! Who ever gave them a high rating must be sick and desparate. They charged my account even after I gmail them to cancel this charge????Not really on the up and up. Do yourself a favor and pass on this pathetic organization. This is not over by any means.

      Dear ***,When a user activates their account, they must provide an electronic signature authorizing Instant Checkmate to charge their card as described, including for the automatic renewal of their membership. Our Billing Terms are conspicuously explained on our registration page and in our Terms of Use. Customers are sent a confirmation email for any orders placed on the site.To confirm, ***, the charges linked to your membership were disputed, creating a chargeback. A chargeback simply means that the account is in dispute with your financial institution, and you should follow up with them directly regarding a resolution. I can confirm, however, that this membership was immediately cancelled and disabled, and no further charges will be applied. Additionally, as a result of the dispute, this account will be inaccessible going forward.Sincerely,Instant Checkmate Support

      Didnt pull any of my brothers past divorces nor did it pull his military record nor did it pull what permits and licenses he had. We are a family of 12 and it indicated only one other sibling he is related to. Waste of time and money.

      Dear *********,Thank you for taking the time to provide additional information about your experience with Instant Checkmate! While an inaccurate report is rare, this can occur from time to time. We gather our information from numerous public sources. This information is then uploaded to our database. When you purchase a background report from Instant Checkmate, we guarantee that we will search every database available to us. However, because we simply display records as they are provided to us, we cannot guarantee the content of the records that *** show up in a final report.However, *********, coming across inaccurate data helps you manage your online reputation by making you aware of potentially damaging information that *** be out there, or at the very least, inaccurate information publicly out there on someone else. This is just one example of using Instant Checkmate as a valuable resource tool. That being said, I have gone ahead and refunded this account back to the payment option used to enroll, and no further charges will be incurred. Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department at ************ with any further questions.
