I paid $28.86 and $3.99 with credit card for bill dated 3/4/25. Then they charged $3.99 again 3/31/25 on my credit card for "subscription". I did not order any subscription and I want the $3.99 refunded and subscription cancelled. Please make them STOP billing me. I am very upset with this company.Business Response

In March 2024, I signed up for Instant Checkmates services at $5.99/month. I canceled my account in July 2024 and believed my subscription had ended. However, while recently reviewing my ****** history, I discovered that I was also being charged $84.28 every three months beginning in March 2024. These are charges I was not aware of and did not knowingly ************ appears I was signed up for an additional, higher-tier membership at the same time I enrolled in the basic plan. I received no separate confirmation or billing notices indicating that two subscriptions were active. When I canceled my account in July 2024, only the $5.99/month plan was canceled; the $84.28 plan continued to renew without my knowledge.The unauthorized charges occurred on the following dates:March 20, 2024 $84.28 June 18, 2024 $84.28 September 18, 2024 $84.28 December 17, 2024 $84.28 March 17, 2025 $84.28 I called customer service and was told that they could only refund the most recent charge from March 2025. That refund has been processed. However, the remaining four charges (March, June, September, and December 2024), totaling $337.12, are considered non-refundable due to their age, despite me never knowingly enrolling in or using the higher-tier service.I am requesting a refund for the remaining $337.12 in charges. I believe this situation resulted from unclear or misleading sign-up practices and a lack of transparency in account billing. I acted in good faith by canceling what I thought was my only subscription in July 2024 and did not use the service any after that.Business Response

Dear ****** ********
This response is in regards to the consumer complaint from ***** ******* ID ********.
To provide additional clarity for Ms. ******* the welcome email that customers receive after registering for our services includes not only a receipt of their current order but also details the membership terms they accepted during sign-up. Our services are subscription-based and do run on a recurring basis. Members have the option to end their membership whenever they wish, either by accessing their account online, reaching out to phone support, or by emailing our support team.
As informed by one of our representatives who assisted Ms. ******* the maximum number of permitted refunds, equivalent to two months of charges, have been successfully processed. A total of $84.25 will be credited back to her payment method within 35 business days, subject to her financial institution's processing times.
Additionally, since Ms. ****** has also disputed with her financial institution, the account has been disabled to prevent further access or refunds. She should receive an update directly from them regarding the resolution. Generally, the dispute process takes between four and five weeks.
Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department at ************ with any further questions. We are available to assist you during regular business hours, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific time (10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern time) (Holiday hours may vary.)

To protect my privacy and remove my records, I tried to opt out of Instant Checkmate using their online opt-out tool at: ******************************************************************, in order to complete the verification process, they only allow me to select a mobile phone no. (which is no longer valid), and not my e-mail address (which they have on record).After sending e-mails to: ***************************************** there was no response. Clearly, they are trying to hinder one's ability to remove one's records from their system by not allowing a valid verification option, and insisting on the use of an invalid phone no.I would like them to remove my records or enable me to do this myself by using the valid e-mail address as a verification method.This is the link to my online records, which I would like removed from Instant Checkmate (aka PeopleConnect), and any of their affiliated sites: ****************************************************************************** they confirm this has been done (and commit to not adding my data again at a later date), the BBB case can be closed.Thank you for your assistance on this.Business Response

Instant Checkmate put my personal information on public display 4 days ago after I applied for a business account. They put my full name, my current and past address, 5 email address, my age, my phone number, my license and career. Everything combined so that anyone can easily use search engines to find out all my personal information. This puts my life and my families life at great risk due to the field I am working in and the fact that I do not want past people to be able to access my personal address by searching my name and phone number. I do not want clients to be able to come to my home and access my personal phone number with a simple search. I have worked hard to make sure my privacy is protected online. Please remove my information.Business Response

This company displays public records and are required by law to delete those records if requested. However I have been unable to find an option to delete those records on their website.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.However, I will note that the "suppression tool" did not work for me until the BBB contacted the business. I have dealt with other similar sites in the past, and removing my records was much easier than with this company. I believe they are intentionally making the removal process as opaque and difficult as possible. Digitally facilitated stalking is a real problem for some people. These companies have a duty to suppress sensitive information as quickly and easily as possible.

Instant Checkmate will not remove my information without requiring that I agree with their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which agreeing to their Privacy Policy means that you approve of them sharing/selling your information, specifically at a time when you're asking them to remove your information. Nobody wanting to use their Opt-Out method agrees to that. I do not agree to that, therefor I cannot use their Opt-Out feature to remove my information. I've emailed and let them know I do not agree and have asked for them to remove my information, but they just asking you to use their Opt-Out tools.Business Response
