“None of yalls information is up to date”

Andrina L.
9/19/24

None of yalls information is up to date. Like any of it. Names, locations, if certain people are deceased. I want my money back. This is a joke. Yes there is info on here, but nothing worth paying for. It's all so back dated it's ridiculous

I've found erroneous information; even on property ownership... Most of the info is good but it could be more explicit. However, overall I am satisfied.

Reason I chose this business:

Curiosity concerning a neighborhood sex offender & his criminal history.

5 Stars for Martin!
I received an email from American Express (AMEX) regarding a continuing charge they put "on-hold". I called AMEX & they outlined a "suspicious subscription" charge that they put on-hold. After talking with AMEX, I called Public Information Services (PIS) & talked with a very non-confident customer service representative... after a long discussion regarding the monthly charges... she became unruly & unconfident in her answers... to the point she wanted me to talk to her "Supervisor" (SUP).
Martin the SUP was GREAT! He explained my options & offered a fantastic way for my firm to continue to check out PIS. I am writing this review not because I think the service is great... I want to try it out more before that.
I am writing this because I wish our firm had someone like Martin to handle calls. He is extremely professional & calm with clients. PIS is lucky to have someone like Martin because I was ready to fire a full broadside of legal & social media actions/Tweets... now he convinced me to give PIS another chance to see what it can do. 5 Stars for Martin!

I have a concealed weapon permit, but when I pulled my own records it read: No Concealed Weapon Permits were found in our records.

If it's missing that on me, what is it missing on others?

Dear Jason,
Thank you for your comment; one thing that you should be aware of is that our site includes billions of data elements that are available in our national database. If you are not seeing information on our site, then that means that the data you are looking for may not be publicly available. So, even if you are positive that something occurred, it’s not guaranteed that the information has been digitally archived correctly by the court system so it’s possible that your data is not available yet.
Thank you

Dear Carol,

At Public Information Services we receive our data from thousands of unique sources, each state retrieves information differently from their counties and various departments. For some records, we know exactly what crimes were committed with an accurate disposition and all related information. For others, we don't know what exact crime was committed and don't have an exact report. In addition, we have found that states have different definitions of what can be digitally archived so it is always best to call your local county court, public defender's office, or police department if you have a question about the specific classification of a criminal history. We choose to show our members all of the data that we are given even if some of it is incomplete so that our members have more information rather than less.

One of the key features of our membership is your ability to run unlimited background searches and create reports on as many people as you like. We recommend everyone does a check on themselves and their loved ones so that you know what information is publicly available, you could be surprised and some of the information might not be correct. In addition, you can have us monitor up to four people at a time so if any of their information changes in our database, you will get an email alert updating you of that change.

If you have any additional questions please reply to this email or contact us at 1-800-617-3169 from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PST 7 days a week and any of our helpful team members will be happy to assist you further. If for some reason one of our team members is not available, simply leave us a detailed message and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

We look forward to helping you protect your family with our service and our benefits.

Reason I chose this business:

I was looking up some information and your site does not seem to have some public information that I could have just googled. So I will be canceling soon.

Reason I chose this business:

Want to match current public information. But you don’t have correct information.
