“Cancel After trial period”

Beverly J.
9/10/24

I had cancelled online two days after starting the trial. It apparently didn't process my cancellation. Membership fee was drafted from my account. I called customer service expecting to be told they would cancel effective for today an no more drafts would occur. I was told that but upon expressing my disappointment the representative continue to reach out to his supervisor and I was given a credit for the amount withdrawn from my account.

The site made it look like it was available in Canada but it's not. After you pay you realize it doesn't work in Canada even though the page before payment shows local surrounding cities in Canada when you search.

When I began searching, there were Canadian results and I wanted to see the details and therefore made the payment to continue. But after I made the payment, it says no record was found. Why? Only after I made the payment that the results disappeared. And then, it forces me to enter an American city and State. I'm Canadian and I will only be searching for Canadians. It is no use to me and I want a full refund!

I wanted to know more about a thief in my neighborhood who decided to steal my package from my porch. I got information from my neighbor like his full name. This site was quick with the info and I paid my fee which can be canceled after the trial. Quick and simple.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience this has brought you and understand your frustration with the service. Our site can only generate records that are available publicly. The License Plate information you are trying to check is yet to update our sources database; that is why we could not pull out any report. We can only gather information as is and as available, and there is no guarantee since we are dealing with publicly available records online.
I have issued a refund of $14.95 for the 1-month Unlimited Access Purchase to make up for not getting your report. Please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to be placed back into your account.
If you have any comments, clarifications, or suggestions, please free to reach us at askrecordsfinder@recordsfinder.com at your most convenient time.
We look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day ahead!

Very little useful information in your report. Wasted a lot of paper printing it up. I would like a refund, not worth the money. Thought this would be something special, but you can get the same information with less paper wasted from Vincheck and thats only $2 Your report is not worth the money.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought I would get a thorough report for $12.95 I feel cheated.

I asked for info on a registered owner of a certain vehicle. I received all sorts of info about the vehicle, but absolutely nothing about the registered owner/owners. Will not recommend this site for anything. I even paid extra for the premium information package. What a joke!

Thumbnail of user rubyi26
Ruby I. – Records Finder Rep

Hello Debi,

I want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced while using our service. As a provider of public records, it's essential to clarify that the information we offer is obtained from various sources and may not always guarantee comprehensive details about registered owners.

While we strive to provide accurate and reliable information, certain limitations can arise due to factors beyond our control, such as data availability and restrictions imposed by data providers and the DPPA. I understand that receiving information solely about the vehicle and not the registered owner/owners is frustrating, especially after opting for our premium information package.

To address your concerns, I have taken immediate action by refunding the premium fee of $9.95 back to your account. You should see the refund reflected in your account in 3 -5 business days.

We continuously strive to improve our offerings and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas for enhancement. Should you require any further assistance or have additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at askrecordsfinder@ask.recordsfinder.com. We value your business and remain committed to ensuring your satisfaction.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and again we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

This site was definitely misleading. I went on the original site Australia records finder and I thought I would be able to search for records from there and became a member and then the site took me to records finder in the US and would not go back to the original site and after trying many times it would not let me do a search on Australia records finder. A total deceiver and a sham!

Signed up to find out the owner of a car with a teenager texting and driving. They found a phone number associated with the license plate, but when I reached out to the "supposed" owner I was told that they had sold that car two years ago. That means that the current owner of that car has a license plate that Record Finders associates with a non-owner. I requested a refund from Record Finders with no problems.

The price was reasonable, however the owner of the vehicle which may have been involved in a theft was not accurate. The owner must be a CO resident as the license plate was from CO. The owner information provided was for an owner in LA, so it was not useful.

Total scam. They are not connected to any databases. So, they don't have any information to provide to you. When you start the search, the graphics make you believe that they have the information you need, until you pay, and then you find out that they have no information to provide. Total scam.

Hello Doc,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry your experience didn't match your expectations.
Please know that the initial or preliminary search is provided as reference material only. It concludes that the information exists, but the availability still depends if the report is publicly displayed, tagged as private/confidential, or protected. Thus, we can't guarantee complete or accurate information because publicly available information varies.
If you are open to discussing this further, I can offer you additional search assistance through Our Expert Team of Researchers for a more in-depth search of our database at no extra charge.
