We bought 100 credits on 6/3/11 and had 7 credits left equaling a total of 107 credits. On 1/13/12, we received an email that we only had 4 credits left. I asked for the names of all background checks requested as we didn't believe we had used that many. They came back with, "I highly suggest you check with them regarding what they sent as well if you feel there is an error. There really should be no error on our end as each form you send is simply tallied in your account." We had this problem last time we renewed when they told us we didn't have credits left when we did. I told them I had counted on our end and again asked that they send me a list of names. They resent me all the report they had sent us. I went through each one and there were 94 credits used, which means there should be 13 left.
As a side note, among the reports they resent, they included multiple doubles, checks sent outside of the date range we were talking about, credit checks and even one background check that I'm assuming was confidential but wasn't one we had requested. They then told me that there were no excess credits when we renewed and that they take half a credit for wrong SSN which makes up for the extra credits. I sent them our online chat correspondence from prior to buying the 100 that told how many credits we had left and also I asked them to send me the names of SSNs we got wrong as I only recalled one instance of that happening. They responded that they "do not have time to go back over individual names and keep going back and forth with this."
It is easy enough to count the emails to come up with a number. They clearly do not keep track of orders placed and have twice tried to tell us we didn't have credits when we did. I don't know whether this is from poor record keeping or from trying to rip customers off. The fact that they sent us a background check that was not ours tells me they are not able to keep these records confidential either. Right off the bat, they were completely rude to us just because we wanted to verify the number as it didn't match with our records.
