I didn't want to pay for their "free" service. I looked at their website and ever since I've had their web page showing up on my phone no matter how many times I close it out. I finally figured out how to delete their cookies. A legitimate business wouldn't resort to lies and tricks to get your money. STAY AWAY!

Signed up for 3 months but it only took me 10 minutes to see this isn't worth my time. Multiple people show up that are not the one you are looking for. You can supply them with name, middle name, last name, state, age of person and many times can't get the right one. Don't know where they are getting their info. Many more addresses, emails, etc that are someone else's. Tried to get a receipt to verify my purchase but can't even get that from the company. Going to try to get my money back.

I used the BeenVerified service in July 2017. I was actually pleased with the service and had recommended them but then found out they scammed me and have been charging my card ever since. I emailed them within 30 days to cancel my subscription and they continue to charge me. There is no way to delete your credit card once you enter it... so DON'T.
Hi Nicole,
I apologize for any problems you have had with the account. We do not show a cancellation request before 11/4/18, would you be able to provide a screenshot of the email you send to us back in July 2017?
We show you were refunded $101.88 on 11/5/18 and your account is canceled. Although there is no option to remove your billing information via the website you can call or email us to request the removal of your card. Please be assure we have deleted that information for you.

I paid for this service and am so sorry I did! I tried looking up people I wanted to get in touch with again and there was NEVER enough information unless I wanted to pay more to get it! And pay more for each person every time! So I then started looking up people I knew. OMG! Wrong addresses, email addresses, phone numbers. Said they had no media accounts when I know they do or that they owned no property and I know they do! I emailed them, requested cancel and refund because I would not recommend them to anyone unless they do! You would need to be very rich to get all the information you're looking for and hope that it is correct! Also note! You cannot go to your account and remove your credit card information either. You're locked out of doing so!

I am from the Philippines, I met a guy online from the United States. He went to the Philippines just this month and cheated on me over some other Filipina women. I am 23 years old and God-knows-what the real age of this person is. What happened to me, already happened to me. It is done. I just hope that this guy would not go around my country fooling around other young Filipina girls for sex. This app could have been very helpful for me to know more information about him as he would only disclose very few info about his self. However, to my disappointment, as I was to pay my subscription to BeenVerified, my payment was denied as my request is coming out of the USA.
You would help more people around the world if you would allow people from other countries to have access on your information. Online dating has cut through borders worldwide. This can be a powerful website to protect girls from third world countries to be lured by lust-driven sex tourist from first world countries. Just that.

I needed this one time to find out information on someone with a felony who we had a business relationship with. Got what I understood to be a one-time report. Apparently, in fine print, they tell you that a one time use is actually a subscription, and a costly one at that. It wasn't until I found an unexpected bill on my Visa card that I realized I'd been tricked (I'm an attorney so usually don't fall for these things) and tried to cancel. Not easy. Nothing on the site that allows it. In fact, it's hard to find that it's an evergreen unless you do something. One must phone to cancel. That's not easy to find either. Horrible! I lost time and money to this scam and recommend that people find another way to get information about those they need to investigate.

"BeenVerified" company themselves have little worth when it comes to verifying a site/company. I trusted their word on 2 companies that, in my end result caused HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES (Justanswer.com & Sellyourgold.com). Each were accredited as being verified, LEGITIMATE and trusted. Justanswer.com appraisals were not accurate appraisals. I was told there is NO WAY for them to accurately appraise an item with PHYSICALLY seeing an item. Yet the site advertises they appraise items CHARGING A FEE and are authentic and HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AS TRUSTWORTHY and ACCURATE! Not so!
I paid for appraisals and placed items for sale on the market and opened myself up to hurling insults and accusations as being dishonest. I removed my items immediately, although I posted the appraisals to prove I was legit I removed the rest of my items to avoid reprisals. Sellyourgold.com. (After turning down their ridiculous lowball offer on over 140 items) returned all my items CRAMMED INTO AN 8×10 ENVELOPE. DESTROYED my jewelry, collector coins, changed out stones, ruined collector values, "lost" 18 1/2 k Gold sheets, Original paperwork to items as well as ALL ORIGINAL BOXES, CONTAINERS AND COIN BINDERS!

Please be aware that we obtain and regularly update the BeenVerified People Search results with records from several different public and private databases.

I bought a monthly subscription for this service for my job. I work in a local homeless shelter and it has helped me track down some of my clients' family members, research properties and assist my clients in understanding the need for honesty when I am assisting them. I even used this for my own personal use in researching a home that I was renting, and one that I was looking at purchasing. I was impressed by the information I could find on this. I kept this service for about 7 months when I decided to cancel it, because I had a job change.
Probably the most amazing thing to me was how EASY it was to cancel it. I was delaying canceling for the longest time, because I thought I'd have to spend hours on the phone. But it was a quick automated system. I just canceled my subscription a few moments ago and I had a monthly subscription, so I am unsure if it will go through, but if it does I would highly recommend this company to any and all of my friends and co-workers (in fact some of my co-workers used it and liked it as well). It's a decent background system that has an app and a website, and it is relatively inexpensive. I am still blown away at how easy the cancellation process was, almost so much so that I want to give this place more of my business.

Hi Daniel,
The Criminal Records section of the background report may include criminal records from county courts, department of corrections, Administration of the Courts, and other state legal agencies. The types of offenses can include felonies, misdemeanors, and even traffic incidents in some cases. Positive or false matches in criminal searches may not provide confirmation of an individual's criminal background. It is important to use caution whenever reviewing this kind of information.
While we put every effort into making our data as accurate as possible, we are dependent upon the criminal data made digitally available to us by the courts. There are some counties that make more criminal data digitally available to us than others (some include cases that date farther back, some counties provide arrests while others may only provide felony convictions), and there are still some counties that do not yet make their criminal data digitally available to us.

Participated in the 5 day trial with BeenVerified to view my report for accuracy. 80% of the information was old (which was good for me). However I was seeking a background search tool to help locate/contact my biological family. Decided not to keep the membership for that reason but was past the 5 day period. Satisfied with the way they handled my request for the refund even though I canceled late.

I thought I would try their 5 day $1.00 trial. This is one of the most misleading sites I have seen in a while. The info they offer can easily be found on Google search. BUYER BEWARE, they use an old tactic called "FOR A BUCK MORE", which I myself used many years ago in marketing. Give them a taste and upgrade them for additional fees. They don't stop there. Canceling turns into the real scam and motive. I called to cancel. Automated system verifies my cancelation and then transfers me to a customer service rep who informs me that I must answer several questions and tell them why I am canceling. I told her I was not interested.
I told her the service was useless and please cancel. She then tells me that I must be more specific or she could not complete the process. Almost 5 min. of nonsense and I hung up. Pay attention folks! I then receive an email stating "Hello Scott, Thank you for your call today with Letyra. Below you will find a detailed summary of the recent changes that took place on 07/21/2018 at 02:58PM to your BeenVerified account. Your subscription was changed from $26.89 / Month to $9.95 / Month.

I signed up for a $14.00 trial. I tried it out on a background check for myself. Info I got back was hopelessly inaccurate and it was vague so I wanted to see the full report and they wanted to charge me another $2.99. So I was going to dispute the charge through my bank and I looked at how much they took out exactly and it was minus $44.58 they took out that I did not authorize.

My experience is similar to most of the one star reviews. Signed up for something I thought was free thinking they needed credit card info only to verify my name and I’m not doing search for nefarious reasons. To add insult injury they ask for more money to access “premium” information on the person being researched. The person's info I got was mediocre, slightly better than my google search that led me to beenverified.com.
Read the company’s dos and don'ts very enlightening on what is legal and what you are allowed to search for and why (you shouldn’t use it for prospective employees or tenants). I canceled my automatic withdrawal the day I saw it come out by calling BeenVerified, they did refund the whole amount. I’m sure there is some value to a small portion of people that use this service but I’d bet their business model is built on signing people up for auto-pay/auto-renewal in hopes they don’t notice. I would have had harsher words and a one star had they not refunded me...

This company acts as if they are building this incredible an incredible report for you. The entire process takes about 15 minutes of your time. Their site says "Search Any Name for Free! Billions of records at your fingertips.

You are then told that you have to pay $22 to view the information.
So yes, you can search on a name for free... however if you want to see any of the details you have to pay. It would be like going to Google, and typing in your search query, and then being told that you have to pay to see that information. Also, they make you fill in your name and email before allowing you to continue to see your report. Then the next page tells you - that you have to pay. Very unethical practice. I'm sure my email will now be sold to millions of their advertising partners.

This website is a total lie and scam from the beginning to end. I was looking for some background information with the judgment & liens option (I thought I will get this based on the main website page) and decided to fork the $22.86 (discounted) for unlimited reports for one month. Ran the report, and the picture that came with the report was somebody else (for a second I thought I typed the wrong name); most of the information was outdated and most even wrong. Nothing about the judgment & liens - for that they want another $15 found on a button called "premium information" not in the report you just ran under "Criminal & Civil" as one might think. OK, since I am already in this, I fork another $15 and get the information.
Let me try to run this "premium information" on myself, and guess what? I need to fork another $15. Here is the summary: On the front page on their website there is sample output report showing a whole list of benefits one think it will get once they sign up – NOT TRUE. After you sign up for their services, you find out some of those benefits from the sample report are actually part of an additional service called "premium information" for another $15, and this after you run a report. You pay for this now and you try to run this “premium information” on another report, you find out that this $15 charge is per report – this is not mentioned ANYWHERE.
Now that you got caught (SCAMMED) in this, if you try to print your report(s); good luck with that. Printing shows all scrambled pages with some of the information in it - USELESS. There is an option for PDF – guess what? More money – another $2.99. At least this time they say "enable PDF for all your personal reports". Nowhere on their front pages on the website I found any mentioning of the "premium information" and what it comes with that (maybe if you decide to dig through their whole website - who knows?). You would have to know what to look for.

This was an impulse buy, if you will. I decided to look up some old college and military friends that do not use social media (which shows a lot of sense these days). But the data I found was contradictory, out of date, and much of it was just plain wrong. Since I had already paid, I did the same for myself and found that it was just as bad. And if you want to dig any deeper, they try to get you to buy a 'Premium' package, a little detail they avoid telling you upfront. Besides, if an old friend has had legal troubles is that really something I need to know in any detail? And then, adding to the mess, when I hit ten profiles the ability to search any further just stopped. I ran the search on an 11th person and though the page said it was being delivered nothing happened. I ran it again and had the same result.

I get a lot of phone calls for someone I don't know. For some reason, BeenVerified has my phone number--a number I've had for more than 15 years--associated with another person. I get creepy calls, telemarketing calls, and tons of wrong numbers for this person. No other background site has my number associated with this other individual... I've checked. I called today and was rudely informed that there's nothing I can do to have them fix the record. I can't opt the person out. I don't know the person. I'm stuck because these guys are shady. They act like their service is just magically pulling from public records.
I work in software. I know the data they're displaying when you search is housed in a data warehouse and that it's just a matter of modifying a record. They don't want to do that. Don't trust these people. They're shady and promote dishonesty. I'd change my number, but I've had it for 15 years and I shouldn't have to make changes just because of a dishonest company. I guess I'll just keep blocking the errant number. Beware.

I did not pay for the service; I only want to remove my info from their site. I went through their online process, which includes giving them an email address. They are supposed to send a verification email back that I want my info removed. No verification email was ever sent back to me though. When I tried to do it again, it says that an email was sent out, etc. When I called them, I was told that I am the only one who can remove my info via the opt out process that did not work and that I cannot do it again! So my info can never be removed, because of their ridiculous Catch-22.

I don't understand why these companies put out there that they're going to let you search for free. Every single one of them let's you search and then they charge you. It doesn't make any sense. If they didn't want not to charge you they should just not charge you for the whole thing. It doesn't make any sense. It's absolutely ridiculous to waste somebody's time and information to obtain a public record which is totally public. This all includes phone numbers and so on just like it used to be in the white pages. You should be able to look up something publicly and if they're willing to let you search for free. Free means free. Free don't mean a dollar. Free don't mean $9. Free don't mean $39. It means free.

I discovered unauthorized charges on my credit card after using the service for what I believed was one-time (not a subscription). When I called, I was told I cancelled but there was a "re-subscription". The representative told me they would cancel it for the future but was unable to provide details as to how or when I approved any type of subscription. They did not quickly offer to refund the charges; I had to insist and then they only agreed to reverse the four most recent charges while their support team will have to look into reversing the older 3 charges.
Clearly I wasn't using the service during any of the months they were charging me and it seems to me anyone who uses the service once is susceptible to having a subscription they did not want or know they were authorizing. Based on my phone call, I do believe the matter will be resolved by BeenVerified.com and it is good that a telephone number was on my statement and they do have live, reachable customer service to deal with this but I still should not have been in this situation to begin with - it's deceptive that I could end up being subscribed to something (or re-subscribed) as they put it after cancellation.

As a landlord I use online background check services that compile public records information. I only do this on one person about once every other year. I always cancel the "subscription" after that use. My wife pays all of the numerous credit card accounts online and in preparing our financial information for our tax accountant she discovered that I used BeenVerified once and was billed for 13 months at 34.98 a month or 452 dollars and change. I cancelled the subscription by telephone after I used it once 13 months earlier but continued to be billed without my awareness. When I learned that I had a subscription I was refunded 34.98 for one month without being told that I had been billed for 13 months. I believe that this is deceptive and see complaints from other customers that document similar experiences. I think the company should issue a full refund.

I was so excited when I enrolled in a subscription with BeenVerified. Started with a control search on myself and was pleased with the results. I even got some information about my long lost relatives. Unfortunately I had a little hiccup with my membership but I just knew we could resolve this issue with a call to customer service. Mind you, it's 9pm est my way but their customer service department stays open late. (Score, all smiles). But here comes a customer service rep named Daniela (insert sadness). I had so much confidence and hope when I called in only to be met with one of the worst customer service experiences in my life. Granted my issue involved solutions that went beyond her department, but just asking her the most general questions seemed to irritate her which frustrated me.
She kept cutting me off quoting some web address. Not even listening or seeming the least concerned. I just hope this is not the experience for everyone that calls into BeenVerified customer service department. This seems like a legit 5 star company but with a 1 star customer service department all because of Daniela. Please note that I asked for her agent info but she stated that Daniela was all she goes by. Please Help. An excellent product deserves excellent customer service.

When I subscribed to BeenVerified August 2017, I went into long specific detail. I am a property manager and will be using it for preliminary screening. I am sure the conversation was recorded. Today they said I cannot use it as is and deactivated the account, and refused to refund on the phone. I should be able to either use the account until August 2018 or get my refund. They don't have a live person to handle this and insisted I email "support" instead, and will take 24 to 48 business hours to get a response. Meanwhile I am without a tool I paid for a year. My business is adversely affected. What kind of company CANNOT handle a simple reactivation or refund action on the phone?!!

This company had absolutely no background information, nothing was listed for myself (which I have past charges). They also made a charge of $45.30 to my card. None of their plans, whether they be monthly or every three months etc, are listed at that price. So now I am out $45.30 and I had to cancel the card, which was brand new... so they couldn't make any other unauthorized charges. I would never used this site or recommend it to anyone else.

Wanted to track down some relatives & also wanted to search my personal data. After searching my personal info, I clicked on '3 month' membership assuming I was presented with HONEST & ACCURATE information about the site. Upon obtaining my personal data, I went to print the info and was hit with another "one time charge of $2.99" in order to be able to print any data. RIDICULOUS and the first indication this is an unethical site as it does NOT state all CONDITIONS of membership clearly when it asks for a party to buy a membership!
After refusing to pay to print document, I was then presented with a "premium subscription" at a significant additional cost for ADDITIONAL DATA that was pertinent to my search. Again, another RED FLAG that this is an unethical business because these CONDITIONS were not stated in advance of this site accepting my payment for membership. Upon searching for relatives information, "BEENVERIFIED'S WEBSITE" was UNABLE to find any of the relatives I searched for. NOT only was I not provided any useful information, BEENVERIFIED provided SEARCH NAMES that didn't match or even come close to the name I was looking for. Upon giving BEENVERIFIED additional information, including the person's birth date, location, and other requested information, the RESULTS PROVIDED were even more WORTHLESS.
Clearly, this is NOT a reputable site and is 'scamming' customers to obtain the basic subscription fees! I would suspect that this site has a HIGH DROP OUT RATE due to lack of validity and usefulness for the average consumer. I will take every opportunity to inform friends, family, and consumers that this site IS NOT a reputable business operation.

It showed all of my records that had been expunged as not being expunged so they do not update their data often if at all! Although it shows my records, it's vague with no details other than a very brief labeling.

While we put every effort into making our data as accurate as possible, we are dependent upon the criminal data made digitally available to us by the courts. There are some counties that make more criminal data digitally available to us than others (some include cases that date farther back, some counties provide arrests while others may only provide felony convictions), and there are still some counties that do not yet make their criminal data digitally available to us.

I checked my name on their website and found that it mixes my data with that of other people with the same name. As a result, what they make available about me is not true. For all I know, it may even be damaging, if those they've mixed me with have bad credit or other issues. When I wrote to them, I was told they just compile information from a variety of sources. They did not offer to correct my information, nor did they respond to my request to remove my name from their database. Is it not misleading to call themselves "BeenVerifed" when they do not verify and won't even correct what they are told is wrong?
Hi Gary,
I'm sorry to hear that you ran into any inaccurate data in your report.
BeenVerified's reports are built using public record information. Public records are collected through official government records such as mortgage deeds and court records, and through sources such as magazine subscriptions, warranty cards and utility bills.
As you experienced, sometimes the information they collect is not always 100% correct. However, we can only work with the information as provided to us within public data. Because we do not create the information, we cannot edit the information. Corrections occur through ongoing, systematic database updates.
We do understand your concerns about information being available in your report that is not accurate, which is why we offer an opt out service. I have located your record and removed it, so that the information is no longer available on our site.
Your removal will be reflected in our People Search results the next time our server refreshes. In most cases this will take 24 hours to take effect and then we encourage you to check for yourself. Please note that sometimes the removal occurs in stages as our servers update, meaning that while the main record is removed immediately, you may see other pages that still reference the report remain visible temporarily as we process the opt out. Rest assured that even if references to your record are visible on these pages as we complete the opt out, should anyone try to click into your record they will not be able to open it.
Once you have given our servers enough time to refresh, simply log onto BeenVerified.com and type your name into People Search. In some cases, you may need to "clear your history" in your browser just in case your computer is storing and recalling information cached prior to the opt-out. We encourage you to check to make sure your record was removed and to contact us at privacy@beenverified.com if you have any issues.
Should you have any further questions, or need any additional assistance, you can reach us at support@beenverified.com or 1-888-579-5910.

I was looking up some old friends online and decided to check the BeenVerified site out and typed in the name and answered a few questions and then it said the price and I decided against it so I closed the website when it gave me a deal of 7 days for $1 so I signed up. I was quickly disappointed when all I got was some basic information and if I wanted to really do a good search it would add a lot of extra fees for the Court Runner, on top of the regular cost and I kinda thought about it but then I sent a letter to a old friend that returned with note saying, "Sorry they moved 3 years ago,"??!! So I ran names I knew to include myself and they were all way outdated. The property sales were pretty accurate so that was a good point. Maybe I'll check the court runner out someday.

I used the service when I received a notice on a credit application that I had a prior arrest on my record. This was a surprise to me because I've never been arrested. I ordered this report to confirm that I had never been arrested. I sent to the creditor for proof and all was well. A few months later, I noticed that I was still being charged for the service on a monthly basis. One email exchange later and the company refunded all of the months I did not need. I believe this is rare these days because most companies will tell you that the monthly charge was in the fine print and will refuse to refund you. BeenVerified did the right thing and for that, I'm grateful.

Hi Angela,
I'm sorry that you had any trouble finding the information you were looking for.
The Criminal Records section of the background report may include criminal records from county courts, department of corrections, Administration of the Courts, and other state legal agencies. The types of offenses can include felonies, misdemeanors, and even traffic incidents in some cases. Positive or false matches in criminal searches may not provide confirmation of an individual's criminal background. It is important to use caution whenever reviewing this kind of information.
While we put every effort into making our data as accurate as possible, we are dependent upon the criminal data made digitally available to us by the courts. There are some counties that make more criminal data digitally available to us than others (some include cases that date farther back, some counties provide arrests while others may only provide felony convictions), and there are still some counties that do not yet make their criminal data digitally available to us.
Our Court Runner feature allows you to send a researcher to the county court directly, which can return information that is not available digitally. We do not withhold information in order to cause you to purchase a Court Runner, they would return information that is not available in a base report.
I see that you were able to reach a member of our customer support team, and I can confirm that your account was canceled and you were issued a full refund.

I was routed to this company from the DDS, because I wanted to get a driver history. Specifically, I needed record of a traffic ticket I received a couple of years ago for the purpose of employment applications. The DDS advertised BeenVerified as a way to obtain that driver's history. I paid $20 to run a background check on myself, which BeenVerified claimed would include a criminal history (including traffic records). When I got the report back, it showed zero results under the criminal history category. Thinking this was strange, I clicked to find out more information. It said that some counties may not include traffic offenses under criminal histories but that BeenVerified could send a court runner to the county's records department in person to find those records for an additional $20+. I paid the fee to request this information, but the results came back the same as before.
Seeing as how I knew that I had gotten a traffic ticket in that county, I knew this couldn't be correct, so I called the BeenVerified customer service line. When the representative finally got to me, she informed me that my information wasn't available because it wasn't included in the public records. In short, I spent almost $50 to be told that the information I paid for wasn't available through BeenVerified's services. Mind you, I was routed to BeenVerified from the DDS website, which claimed that I could access traffic records through their "partner". BeenVerified itself claimed that traffic tickets were included under criminal histories.
So basically, I wasted $50 and several hours of my time, not to mention the increase in my blood pressure from the stress of this terrible experience. I immediately cancelled my account, and I advise anyone out there considering using BeenVerified's services to save themselves the trouble. It's not worth the money. It's not worth the stress.

I purchased the option they offered for 30 days of unlimited searches as they offered several options. I had no idea about the AUTO renewal. I was told today it is in their terms and conditions to use their product on their site. I found the emails thought I didn't get it. But even the welcoming email said nothing about auto renewing every month. Also purchasing the product in the beginning again said nothing about auto renewing. If it's auto renewing why label it "30 DAYS" then? YOU SHOULD LABEL IT "MONTHLY" NOT 30 DAYS.
I'd never use them again. I hate misleading companies that do business this way!! Here is MY terms and conditions to do business with you. Be upfront. Don't use misleading tactics. You might be covered legally but ethically you failed!!! The fact that you hide the auto renewal notice in the term and conditions for "using your product online" is low and deceptive. If I could give zero stars I would. It now shows you a little window at the bottom of the page about the auto renewal. It wasn't there before. It still looks deceptive to me due to the label of 1 MONTH which is 30 days.

I can tell you that after using their company I found it to be less than what I expected. Couldn't even locate my relatives or past friends unless I agreed to an upgrade!

I have purchased a 30 day subscription to BeenVerified. I am not happy with this site's production/success rate. I have subscribed to these sort of websites in the past, and I can't remember which one I used, but it was half the cost of BeenVerified and it produced better quality information. It seems that if you test BeenVerified on yourself or someone you are already familiar with, it does OK, although it is a little expensive at almost $26.89 per month. But when you try to search on the people that you really need to obtain the records on, it is lackluster at best.
So BeenVerified offers to give you "PREMIUM DATA" for an additional $14.86. I purchased this feature on top of my regular subscription, and it did slightly better. But when I tried to use the feature on the next subject, the website wanted me to pay an additional $14.86. I specifically looked for fine print to see if this was the case before I purchased the PREMIUM DATA, and nowhere did I see the website indicate that you had to pay this amount for each person you were searching on. I do not consider BeenVerified to be a good online records search engine. The site does not clearly explain that you will receive extremely limited data for the basic price and that the cost for PREMIUM DATA is so expensive.

I subscribe to LifeLock who alerted me to BeenVerified as sharing my personal information without my permission or authorization. Supposedly BeenVerified.com has an opt out process where you can tell them NOT TO SHARE your personal information.

Then, you provide an email address where BeenVerified.com sends a verification email so that you can complete the "Opt Out" process. Guess what? BeenVerified never sends you the email so the Opt Out process never completes. BeenVerified is sharing personal information about you which they have no right to do. If you tell them not to share the information, you must first tell them the information is an EXACT MATCH about you. Then they don't send you the verification email so you cannot stop them from sharing that perfect match information about yourself. This website is a total SCAM. This has to be illegal. I am continuing my pursuit to stop them.
Hi Lynn,
We take people's privacy concerns seriously, which is why we offer the ability to opt out your personal record. We need you to confirm your information when opting out so that we are sure to remove the correct record for your name.
I located your opt out request, which was sent from a different email address than you are contacting us from here, and completed the opt out for you. I'm sorry that you didn't receive the validation email to complete the process yourself. Sometimes these emails can get caught in your spam filter.
This is a confirmation that BeenVerified has instructed our data partners not to return the requested record in future People Search results on BeenVerified.
Your request will be reflected in our People Search results the next time our server refreshes. In most cases this will take 24 hours to take effect and then we encourage you to check for yourself. Once you have given our servers enough time to refresh, simply log onto BeenVerified.com and type your name into People Search. In some cases, you may need to "clear your history" in your browser just in case your computer is storing and recalling information cached prior to the opt-out. We encourage you to check to make sure your record was removed and to contact us at privacy@beenverified.com if you have any issues.
At this time, we only provide an opt-out for our People Search service. Therefore, it is possible that your name might appear in search results for the other search services available through BeenVerified even after you opt out of People Search. Further, please be aware that we obtain and regularly update the BeenVerified People Search results with records from several different public and private databases. Although we and our data partners do our best to match these new records to the existing records in our database, there may be times when one of our data partners provides us with a new record about you that is different enough from your existing record – for example, containing different spellings, initials, combinations of information, and/or addresses – that we cannot match this new record to your existing record, and this new record may appear in our People Search results. In addition, in order to prevent fraud and protect the integrity of our opt-out process, we currently only permit you to remove one record from our People Search results through our online opt-out process. Accordingly, if you see a new record about you appear in our People Search results, please contact us at privacy@beenverified.com and we will be happy to help you remove that record as well.

For business purposes we needed a background check. I signed up with BeenVerified for a one month unlimited. When I entered the person's name it showed that he still lived with his parents. For accuracy purposes I entered my name. Current address showing was a place I last lived in 2001 along with other inaccurate info. Then I looked up another person who is a very good friend, same thing. The info was outdated by 8-9 years. That cost me $22.95 Plus for criminal, judgments, liens, licenses permits and business affiliations. They charge an additional $14.95 for no information although there is a pending case in Federal Court. Save your money and your time.
Hello Theodora,
I'm sorry to hear that you had any trouble locating the information that you were looking for with BeenVerified. BeenVerified is an easy-to-access collection of public record information. Public records are collected through official government records such as mortgage deeds and court records, and through sources such as magazine subscriptions, warranty cards and utility bills.
As you just experienced, sometimes the information they collect is not always 100% correct. However, we can only work with the information provided to us within public data. We continuously strive to update and expand our databases in order to provide you with the most current and accurate information we possibly can.
We do have a Monitoring feature which allows you to select reports that you would like to keep an eye on. Once Monitoring is active we will send you an email notification any time new information is added to a report.
The Criminal Records section of the background report may include criminal records from county courts, department of corrections, Administration of the Courts, and other state legal agencies. The types of offenses can include felonies, misdemeanors, and even traffic incidents in some cases. Positive or false matches in criminal searches may not provide confirmation of an individual's criminal background. It is important to use caution whenever reviewing this kind of information.
While we put every effort into making our data as accurate as possible, we are dependent upon the criminal data made digitally available to us by the courts. There are some counties that make more criminal data digitally available to us than others (some include cases that date farther back, some counties provide arrests while others may only provide felony convictions), and there are still some counties that do not yet make their criminal data digitally available to us.
Typically, information on pending cases is not available in public data. Once a criminal case results in a conviction it is more likely to become available in our results.
We do have a satisfaction guarantee, and I have issued a complete refund to your account. It may take a few days for the funds to appear in your account as your bank processes the refund.
Please let us know if you have any further questions or need any more help. You can reach us at support@beenverified.com or 1-888-579-5910.

I tried this service to run a check on myself and my Fiance. The information I received was not even close to accurate, and some of it was downright false. Upon paying for a premium info option, again the information was completely inaccurate, or nonexistent. For a company that claims to stay up to date, the information I found on myself that WAS accurate, was information from over 10 years ago. I have requested a full refund after using their service for a total of 15 minutes. I will be filing a report with the BBB as well and consulting my lawyer if my refund is not granted.

BeenVerified is a scam site. I wanted to perform a self background check and tried to wade through the online lists of best sites to use online. BeenVerified appeared to have good ratings, though now I wonder if those are not list sites that BeenVerified is paying to be a part of. The basic background check returns nothing that you could not find out with 10 minutes of online searching and fields of more important info are returned as blank, unless you pay for a premium service to essentially "unlock" the info. I paid a premium charge for court documents and they returned nothing. I know what court documents should have appeared and to see that there was nothing told me that BeenVerified was simply taking me for a ride.
I contacted customer support and requested a refund. They refused to do this, that they had already sent "live court runners" to go visit the courthouses to look for the info I requested and they could not refund me. I informed them that I had already received the reports from the "live court runners" and that they were wrong, or had not done their job. I asked for a refund again. In every email exchange, customer support side-stepped the issues and questions and held strong to their supposed inability to provide a refund.
This company is a sham. I do not think they are sending anyone to courthouses. I think they are preying on people who are not computer savvy. I think they are willing to create ill-will knowing that they will get someone else down the road eventually. I do not know if other background check sites are this shady, but please do yourself a favor and avoid BeenVerified.
I'm sorry to hear this was your experience. I see that you did communicate with customer service regarding your court runner orders. We asked for some additional information so that we could speak with our researchers, if we did not return a record you expected to be returned. The court runner will return felony or misdemeanor convictions dated within the past seven years. It will not return arrest records, or convictions over seven years.
Please be assured that your account was canceled as you requested and you will not be billed again. I have also processed a full refund of the charges you received. If there is anything else we can do to assist you, please let me know.

BeenVerified is an easy-to-access collection of public record information. Public records are collected through official government records such as mortgage deeds and court records, and through sources such as magazine subscriptions, warranty cards and utility bills.
As you just experienced, sometimes the information they collect is not always 100% correct. However, we can only work with the information provided to us within public data. Because we do not create the information, we cannot edit the information. Corrections occur through ongoing, systematic database updates.
We continuously strive to update and expand our databases in order to provide you with the most current and accurate information we possibly can.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
Kind regards,BeenVerified Customer Care
