ConsumerAffairs operates independent of TruthFinder and does not offer background check services. Per the TruthFinder terms, you may not use this service or the information it provides to make decisions about consumer credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose that would require Federal Credit Reporting Act compliance. TruthFinder does not provide consumer reports and is not a consumer reporting agency.

What is TruthFinder?

TruthFinder is a search tool and background check service that lets you find nearly anyone in the U.S. by name, address, phone number or email address.

You can use the service to reconnect with family and friends or to view a person’s criminal history. You can also run a report on yourself if you want to see what information is available about you online. You cannot use the platform to screen employees, domestic workers, tenants or people who provide professional services, including tutors or doctors.

TruthFinder searches millions of public records and social network data across the United States and compiles all the information into one report. The report includes items like:

  • Birth and death records
  • Possible relatives
  • Possible associates, friends, roommates or former romantic partners
  • Detailed location information (current and former addresses)
  • Contact information
  • Education and jobs
  • Social media profiles and dating profiles
  • Assets, including owned properties and driven vehicles
  • Criminal history, arrest reports and traffic records

Pulling a report on TruthFinder is anonymous, so no one will be notified when you perform a search or request a report for a particular person. The company has a free mobile app available in the Apple App Store or Google Play so you can make searches on the go.

TruthFinder cost

Requesting and receiving reports on TruthFinder requires a membership.

A one-month plan with TruthFinder costs around $28 per month. This fee lets users request unlimited standard background checks. Members can save money by purchasing a two-month plan for around $46. TruthFinder does not allow customers to pay for a single report, and you must contact the company’s member care department to cancel your membership.

TruthFinder FAQ

Is TruthFinder free?

Currently, there isn’t a free version or free trial of TruthFinder; however, Truthfinder offers a free search that provides preliminary information including age, location history and potential relatives. Most reputable background check services are not free.

How far does TruthFinder go back?

Results vary by person, but some reports go as far back as 15 years.

Can you do a background check with a phone number?

Yes. Through the company’s reverse phone lookup feature, you can search a phone number and receive relevant background information, including name, social media profiles, possible email addresses and locations.

Is TruthFinder accurate?

Yes. The more information you can provide, though, the more accurate your results are likely to be.

How do I cancel my TruthFinder account?

To terminate service, users must call the TruthFinder member care department.

Still have questions?

Is TruthFinder legitimate?

TruthFinder is a great tool for connecting long-lost family members or friends, but the company charges a monthly fee and requires you to call the member care department to cancel. As long as the product isn’t used for malicious purposes, it’s a helpful resource that lets you find family, friends or former colleagues. We recommend TruthFinder for its extensive reports, accuracy and affordable pricing.

      Truthfinder truely sucks! I have very low tolerance for BS these days. Not sure how actual reports are but I know they start with lies by making you think the report is free then after 30 minutes of giving out personal information and other miscellaneous Q&A they hit you with a subscription fee. Wasted my time and I'm sure they are selling my personal info. After I am lied to, any info after that is virtually worthless.

      Hi Pete,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand it can be disappointing when a report does not include the information you were hoping to find.

      TruthFinder gathers information from public records and other available data sources, then organizes that information into easy-to-read reports. Since public record availability can vary by source, location, and record type, some details may be limited, unavailable, or not as complete as expected. Our Terms of Use also note that public record information may not always be fully accurate, complete, or available, which is why we encourage members to use reports as a helpful starting point.

      We can confirm that your account has been canceled and the charge was reversed.

      If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please contact our Customer Care department at 855-921-3711. We are available from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

      Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We want to take a moment to address your concerns.

      As disclosed in our Terms of Use, we compile data from a variety of third-party data providers and publicly accessible sources. There are times when data may not be fully accurate or up to date due to the nature of public records. Older information such as previous names can sometimes remain in our data sources even when no longer current, which may explain why an older name is appearing in your report.

      Regarding the information available in your report, the categories displayed depend entirely on what is publicly accessible through our data sources at the time of the search.

      I cancelled the account Last month after you billed me, now I was charged again and re-cancelled again last night. The first customer service agent was not helpful and I hung up on him. The second agent was more helpful. Now I hope that the reversal of charges that he said he processed will go through as he said. I believe your service is a scam and will not recommend it to anyone. The information I received was barely more than I already knew and a lot of missing information that should have been easy for you to see, relatives being the worst information you provided.

      Deception describes TruthFinder. I signed up for a one-time trial that required me to cancel. I canceled through their website only to find out that it did not happen and the billing continued. Talking to a their customer service person they could tell that I never used the service after the single first time.... followed by what I thought was a legitimate cancelation.... and they continued billing me. No reimbursement!

      Hi RAS,

      Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We want to take a moment to address your concerns and provide some clarity.

      After reviewing your account, we want to clarify that there was no prior cancellation on record. The service you signed up for was a monthly subscription, not a one-time trial. In accordance with applicable laws, all billing details and automatic renewal terms are clearly disclosed before payment is submitted, and users are required to explicitly agree to these terms before completing registration.

      We also want to clarify that our service is subscription based, similar to any other subscription service. Billing is not based on usage — whether the service is used frequently or not at all, the subscription remains active and will continue to renew until it is canceled. This is outlined in our Terms of Use and communicated at the time of enrollment.

      We can confirm that during your recent call with our Customer Care team a refund of the most recent charge was processed back to your original payment method. Please allow 3-5 business days, depending on your financial institution, for the refund to reflect in your account.

      If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at 855-921-3711, 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.

      Don't use this company. Save your money and go elsewhere. You can find everything they offer without paying a dime on the internet. If you don't purchase the year subscription, they charge you an extra $5-$10 for additional information. I was looking for old friends. I found everything they gave me before I got the report. Then charged me more because I looked for additional information. It was three month unlimited nothing just to get more money. I canceled immediately. I couldn't find a friend I was trying to narrow down. I immediately found them on my own.

      Hi Kim,

      Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We want to address a few points directly.

      Regarding the subscription options, both our monthly and 3-month memberships provide access to the same features — the difference is simply the length of the billing cycle. With the 3-month option, you are billed upfront for all three months at a reduced rate. All of our memberships include unlimited Person and Address searches, meaning you are never charged on a per-report basis.

      The additional charges you noticed were for optional add-on services such as Reverse Phone Lookup or Reverse Email Lookup, which allow you to search by a specific phone number or email address to identify the registered owner of that information. These are always presented as optional and are never automatically applied without your agreement.

      TruthFinder 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. We understand this may not always meet every member's expectations and we are sorry the service was not the right fit for you.

      If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at (855) 921-3711, 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.

      Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

      TruthFinder is not the source of the data in our reports — all information is pulled from public records and commercially available data sources. Because our search is conducted by name rather than by Social Security Number, results are broader and less precise by nature, and we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy or completeness. Source data is sometimes reported or entered inaccurately, processed poorly, or is generally not free from defect. There are also instances where certain records may not be fully accessible through public databases depending on the jurisdiction, which can result in limited information appearing in a report.

      Our membership provides access to a variety of information including location history, names and aliases, possible family members and associates, phone numbers, email addresses, arrest and traffic records, bankruptcies, social media profiles, and more. Regarding the add-on services, these are always presented as optional and are never automatically applied without your agreement.

      We can confirm that your account has been cancelled and a full refund has been issued back to your payment method. 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 additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at (855) 921-3711, 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.

      I am renting out a room in my home and wanted to check out some applicants as far as work history and previous dwellings. The second applicant I tried to get a history on, came back with NO financial history, no employent history, and no previous rental history. Odd, why else do people do a background history. Even more odd since the previous applicant I submitted, came back with a long report of many pages loaded with information including every traffic infraction, run in with police, misdemeanor and an assault with a deadly weapon conviction.

      When I inquired why I could get no information on the first person, the company gave me some double talk about different counties allowed or disallowed different information to be included in their reports. Odder still is why one site liststhem as the #2 site for background checks and ConsumerAffairs by way of customer reviews gives them a relatively awful review. I always trust reviews and have chosen wisely based on them.

      Hi Peter,

      Thank you for your feedback. We want to address your concerns directly and provide some important clarification.

      We want to advise you that TruthFinder is a public records search service intended for personal use only. Our services are not to be used for any business purpose or FCRA purpose, including decisions regarding the rental or sale of residential property, employment screening, tenant screening, or any other purpose that would necessitate FCRA compliance. We have a zero-tolerance policy for such use. For more information, please review our Terms of Use at https://www.truthfinder.com/terms-of-use/.

      Regarding the varying results between searches, TruthFinder is not the source of the data in our reports — all information is pulled from public records and commercially available data sources. The availability of information does vary depending on the individual, the county, and what has been made publicly accessible. Not all jurisdictions release the same types of records, which can result in significantly different amounts of information appearing from one report to another. This is not a reflection of our service but rather of the nature of public records and how they are reported and released at the local level.

      If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at (855) 921-3711, 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 John,

      Thank you for your feedback, and what a wonderful effort — tracking down classmates for a 50th reunion is truly a meaningful endeavor! We are sorry to hear that our service did not provide the results you were hoping for.

      TruthFinder is not the source of the data in our reports — all information is pulled from public records and commercially available data sources, which may contain errors. Source data is sometimes reported or entered inaccurately, processed poorly, or is generally not free from defect, and our reports are not a comprehensive compilation of all available data. We collaborate with our data providers to ensure reports are as accurate and complete as possible; however, occasional inaccuracies may occur due to limitations in public data or multiple individuals sharing similar identifying details.

      To enhance your search experience, we recommend using the 'Refine My Search' option after performing a search, which allows you to add more identifying details to help isolate the correct report. We also recommend searching by maiden name for classmates who may have changed their last name over the years, as this can sometimes yield better results.

      We encourage you to use our reports as a starting point for your own due diligence and to independently verify any information before relying on it. If you need any assistance with your searches, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at (855) 921-3711, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

      Simply: Don't advertise free information when the only one giving free information is the searcher. Going through all of those layers and having to give email address only to find you can't get anything unless you pay.

      Listen folks, I have been a customer for over 15 years paying monthly subscription price and it was Wonderful. This WAS the only online company left that did a good job. It has recently sold to a scumbag company and the results on any given search are 20% of what they used to be and they have farmed their customer service to the India community which actually made me laugh as these folks don't speak good English and they are just "Yes People", which means nothing but apologies and no real help. Their site was remodeled and 50% of things the customer has are now gone. I check their investigated information at a friends with Lexus Nexus, and it was 80% outdated or incorrect. Don't waste your money and I am guessing the prior company sold to an Indian conglomerate. They are now the worst

      Hi Jon,

      Thank you for your long-standing loyalty as a customer, and we are sorry to hear that your recent experience has not met the expectations you have come to know from our service. We want to address several of the points you have raised directly.

      First, we want to clarify that TruthFinder has not been sold. These claims are inaccurate, and we want to assure you that our commitment to providing a quality service remains unchanged.

      Regarding our customer support team, our representatives are not located in India. We take pride in the quality of our Customer Care team and take this feedback seriously.

      We also want to address the comparison to LexisNexis. LexisNexis is an identity verification service that uses multiple identifiers including Social Security Number, name, address, and date of birth to precisely match records to a specific individual. TruthFinder searches are conducted by name using publicly available data, which means results may be broader or less precise by comparison. This difference in methodology can account for variations in the information returned between the two services.

      As for the information in our reports, TruthFinder is not the source of the data — all information is pulled from publicly available records and third-party sources. Over time, the availability of certain records may change due to updates in public record databases, restrictions imposed by data providers, or individuals exercising their right to suppress their personal information from being displayed on our platform. When a suppression is in place, the information will not appear in our reports, though it is not removed from the original public record source.

      We would love the opportunity to address your concerns further and work toward restoring your confidence in our service. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at (855) 921-3711, 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 Michael,

      Thank you for sharing your review. We understand how unexpected charges can be frustrating, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify what occurred.

      When enrolling in TruthFinder, members are guided through a registration process where all billing details—including automatic renewal terms—are clearly disclosed before payment is submitted, and users must agree to those terms to complete registration. Memberships can be canceled at any time through the online account, by phone, or via live chat.

      After reviewing our records, we found that an account was originally created in September 2024 and canceled in October 2024. A separate membership was later reactivated in October 2025, and the service was actively used in December 2025. There was no cancellation on file for that membership prior to the online cancellation completed on January 16, 2026.

      We also did not receive any direct contact from you before the charge in question, which would have allowed us to review and address the concern sooner.

      If you have any remaining questions or would like further assistance, our Member Care team is available at 855-921-3711, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. PT (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. ET; holiday hours may vary).

      Dear Melody,

      Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and understand how frustrating it can be when information you anticipated isn’t immediately apparent.

      We did review the report associated with your search and can confirm that it does include at least five arrest records. In many cases, arrest and criminal record details appear after the address history section, so we recommend revisiting the report and ensuring you click through the full report to view all available sections.

      TruthFinder is continuously working to improve its service, and we appreciate insights from customers like you. We collaborate with our data providers to help ensure reports are as accurate and complete as possible. However, as outlined in our Terms of Use, public records and commercially available data may contain errors or omissions. Source data can sometimes be reported or entered inaccurately, processed incorrectly, or be incomplete. TruthFinder is not the original source of this data, nor does it represent a comprehensive compilation of all available records. For this reason, any information should be independently verified before being relied upon.

If a user believes information remains visible after completing the suppression process, our support team is available to review the concern and provide further assistance.

      Due to the nature of public record information, some data may be incomplete, outdated, or reported inaccurately at the source.

Because of these limitations, we always recommend independently verifying any important information and using our reports as a starting point for further research.

      The TruthFinder staff was very prompt in responding to the concerns that I had expressed in my previous review about their refund policies, and a fair resolution was reached. As a result I would have no hesitation in recommending this company's service to others.

      Original Review: Sept. 29, 2025

      The unfortunate "truth" that I have uncovered about TruthFinder is that they have an inflexible and misleading refund policy. If you sign up for a monthly subscription, you have only 30 days to cancel from the subscription starting date to get a refund for any subsequent months. I just realized today that I was being charged for not only my first month (July 2), as well as monthly charges on August 4, September 2, but also for today, September 29 (for October!?). I cancelled today and expected at least a refund for this latest charge, but was told that "this was not company policy" and that no refund would be given! How can such a policy be justified?! I cannot even get a refund for the month ahead--which has been cancelled??? I had a subscription for 3 months but must pay for four??? Consumer beware!

All important information, such as billing details and automatic renewal policies, is presented in full compliance with applicable laws. Additionally, we require users to confirm their understanding of these terms before completing their payment.

      As outlined in our Terms of Use, unless canceled, subscriptions automatically renew every 30 days until a cancellation is processed. That said, as a one-time courtesy, we reversed the most recent pending charge so you will not be billed for the upcoming month.

For example, shared names or similar identifiers can sometimes lead to data mismatches. We encourage you to use the provided information as a foundation for further research.

      TruthFinder compiles publicly available data from third-party sources, and while we strive for accuracy, there are instances where the data may be incomplete or contain discrepancies, as outlined in our Terms of Use. We do not create, alter, or verify the information—we simply present it as it is provided to us. This means that occasionally, errors such as outdated details or misattributed records may appear.

      If you believe that incorrect information has been associated with your name, you have the option to suppress your background report through our Data Privacy Center to prevent it from appearing in searches. To do so, please visit https://www.truthfinder.com/opt-out, click on “Suppress Your Public Data,” and follow the instructions. You will be asked to submit an email address to receive a verification link. Once verified, you will be prompted to provide identifying information to validate your request.

      I’ve been with Truthfinder for a while and I’m not exactly impressed. I think things have gone downhill with information being wildly inaccurate. The new platform makes everything worse too, unfortunately. I know the company is going to reply that they’re only gathering public information, but dates are wrong, relatives are wrong, and the worst is the inaccurate criminal section. I know someone with both misdemeanors and a federal crime but the more egregious federal crime is not listed on the website, as well as, more than one bankruptcy, and eviction, etc. when just last year it was, so something‘s up with this company and the way it gathers information.

      The timeline it offers is a hot mess too. I also don’t like how with the new updated platform you can’t send in that information if it’s inaccurate anymore. Lastly, it’s way too expensive!! I don’t think I’ll be renewing my subscription and will start looking elsewhere. I need to have accurate information.

      Dear Cee Cee,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your frustrations with the accuracy of certain details and with the recent platform updates, as this isn’t the experience we want our members to have.

      We understand how important it is to access reliable information. TruthFinder compiles data from a wide variety of public record sources, and while we strive to keep information as accurate and up to date as possible, occasional discrepancies may occur due to reporting timelines and data source limitations. Please also be advised that TruthFinder is a public records search service. We prohibit the use of the website for any non-personal purpose that involves a business transaction, including but not limited to employment screening, tenant screening, or credit checks.

      Your concerns about the new platform design and the ability to submit corrections are also valuable, and we’ll be sure to share this feedback with our product team. If there’s anything further we can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Support team at 855-921-3711. Our team is available Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. PT (10:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. ET).

      This company is a scam and canceling online wasn't good enough. They kept charging my credit card. I changed the credit card number 3 times and they were on my new card charging me. Evidently they claim when I canceled I didn't cancel everything. I tried to get refund but they told me no. I have filed a complaint through my credit card company. I hope shuts this scam company down. I'm severely disabled and have been trying to stop them for the last year. Nobody should be taken advantage of like this! Customer service and management were worthless!

      Hi Renee,

      Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we truly understand how upsetting unexpected charges can be, especially when you believed your subscription had already been canceled. Please know this is not the type of experience we want for our members.

      When you enrolled in our services, you signed up for two separate subscriptions under the same account: one for Unlimited PDF and Data Monitoring Access, which was canceled earlier, and another for Unlimited Person Reports, which remained active until your recent call. We allow customers to cancel individual subscriptions depending on their needs, which is why one continued billing after the other had ended.

      It’s also important to note that updating or changing your credit card number does not always stop approved recurring charges, as many banks continue to process authorized renewals. Prior to your recent call on August 19, we did not receive any additional communication regarding canceling the remaining subscription.

      During your call, our representative processed a refund of your most recent charge in accordance with our refund policy. Please allow 3–5 business days, depending on your financial institution, for the refund to reflect in your account. As of that call, all subscriptions have been canceled, and no further charges will occur.

      If you’d like to review your account in more detail or have additional questions, our Customer Care team is available at 855-921-3711, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. PT (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. ET).

      Charged me well over a year after I cancelled, claiming I needed to unsubscribe twice. Refused my request of a refund. I never subscribed twice. Why should I have to unsubscribe twice? My guess is I only used their service once and immediately cancelled. I couldn't even login to unsubscribe myself. I had to go to the customer service staff via an online chat. If I don't have an account with you, why am I being charged? If I have an account, why couldn't I login?

      Hi Alex,

      Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we understand how unexpected charges can be frustrating. We want to assure you that this is not the experience we strive to provide for our members.

      When you enroll in any of our services, our website guides you through a registration page where you can review various subscription options and select the one that best fits your needs. In accordance with applicable laws, all billing details, including automatic renewal terms, are clearly disclosed before payment is submitted. Users are also required to agree to these terms before completing registration.

      Our records confirm that your account was registered under the email you provided when you called in to cancel. You did not have two separate accounts but rather two active subscriptions. One was for Unlimited PDF and Data Monitoring Access, which you canceled earlier, and the other was for Unlimited Person Reports, which remained active until recently. We allow customers to manage or cancel individual subscriptions depending on their needs, which is why one continued after the other had been canceled.

      Regarding login issues, if you were unable to access your account, it may have been due to an incorrect password. We do offer a password reset option directly on our website to help members regain access to their accounts.

      As of now, both of your subscriptions have been canceled, and there will be no further charges moving forward. If you’d like additional assistance or have any further questions, please reach out to our Customer Care team at 855-921-3711, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. PT (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. ET).

      Updated on 09/17/2025: This is not my first review of TruthFinder, just an update to my other reviews.. I have just decided to cancel my subscription (?) to the TruthFinder website since I became very dissatisfied with it.. First the new & so called improved web design is horrific and I say that as a retired IT person, but still a geek at heart.. Second as I & several others have stated prior their information is outdated on individuals & when you try to get them to update that info they get all touchy & feel they know better..

      In August my former husband passed away & I tried to get TruthFinder to update that info to their profile on him again, they got all touchy even though I had also sent them the funeral parlors obituary as proof to validate it was factual info.. I am still very sensitive about how my former husband is portrayed even though it's been many, many years but he still deserves respect.. I have/had many people's profiles on my TruthFinder page and I know for a fact that they are deceased but somehow TruthFinder finds that hard to believe and still shows them alive and well.. Not to mention many of the profiles contain inaccurate information on their former employers when I had worked with many of them so that I know for sure..

      At this point I decided I would no longer stay with them since the $28.00+ a month fee I was paying was a waste of money on my part since viewing their website had become an obstacle course, so I cancelled my subscription, obviously true to form they made me an offer which I guess they thought I couldn't refuse, but I did.. Cancel is cancel.. I have no desire to hear back from TruthFinder on this review..

      Original Review: Most of the info they give you is old & when you 'remind' them of that you get nowhere.. Recently the site was down for several days & then when it came back up it had a new look to it. Unfortunately this new look must have been done by a newbie programmer because there is no way to log off the site for desktops. Maybe for handheld devices but not there for desktops so you can't log off which is not a secure thing for me.. Very disappointed in this site now..

      Hi Patricia,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you’ve been disappointed with your recent experience.

      TruthFinder relies on public record data, and while we work hard to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information possible, some records may be outdated or incomplete due to the limitations of the sources themselves. We understand how frustrating that can be, and your concerns are very important to us.

      We also appreciate your comments about the updated site format. Our team is actively reviewing usability concerns, including the log-out functionality on desktop, to ensure the site remains secure and user-friendly. Your feedback has been shared with our internal team to help guide these improvements.

      Truthfinder seemed to be who I would use for my work projects on and off. As of recently, I will no longer be using them. I signed up for a trial in May 2025. They debited my account in July 2025. When I saw the charge pending, I logged in and cancelled as I realized I had not used it for any work projects since May. The charge went through anyway the next day, so I contacted them for a refund.

      The office was closed and it was a Friday, so I had to wait until Monday. I called back Monday and the rep I spoke with told me it does not matter that I cancelled and the charge was pending, it will still go through and that they can not offer me a refund. I asked to speak with a sup and was told they would need to call me back. Caesar the sup called me two days later and informed me that they had refunded my account the prior year in 2024 and that they are not able to give me another one. I then contacted the BBB and TruthFinder just keeps saying the story above I just stated and is giving me no resolve.

      We’re sorry to hear that our services fell short of your expectations. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.

      TruthFinder provides a comprehensive public record search service that requires significant financial resources to develop, maintain, and regularly update. While some of the data may be publicly available, our platform organizes it in a user-friendly, searchable format—allowing members to run unlimited person and address reports from one centralized location.

      Additionally, our service includes access to public records such as criminal histories, possible relatives, property details, and more—far beyond what can typically be found through social media sites like Facebook.

      That said, we understand our service isn’t the right fit for everyone. We’ve confirmed your account has been successfully canceled, and as a courtesy, we’ve issued a full refund of your recent charge. Please allow 3–5 business days for the funds to reflect, depending on your financial institution.

      Stay away from this company! They take your payment quick enough, but when you call to cancel ... you are challenged. Because the one month subscription was about to run out, I called to cancel before I was charged for a second month. I wanted to check the background of a contractor who was in and out of our home. We had already hire him, but when his behavior became strange, we wanted to check on him. I did not use use Truthfinder to determine whether or not to hire him. So, I DID NOT violate any of their policies. When I called to cancel, I was asked why I was cancelling. I told them that I no longer needed their services and told them why. I was quickly told that I had violated their policy and the matter had to be investigated. Then, I was told that the charges would continue until their investigation was complete. What! Scam!
