    Got an account for a one month subscription (almost 30$) , yet when activated was charged for a 2 month subscription (almost 50$). Reached out to the customer service to correct this error, something very reasonable and easy to accomplish. They didn't even acknowledge they understood or read the request.

    I received a notice that someone search my name on Truth finder and what I found when I aaccess their website is that they had ascribed debt that was never mine. Where they fail in there search is to distinguish my full name from my deceased dad who has the same name minus a middle name of which I have on record. Tuth Finder is not a legetimate source if someone is seek to find the truth about the creditHistory.And, I fully plan on suing them because I believe perspective employer and possible women that just wanted to do their due diligents on perspective mate history was no doubt alarmed at that they saw after truth Finder gave me all of my father's debts. I reached out to them above a year ago and just recently discivered that they did not take change their mistake. I lived in *****, ** from ********* biught 2 houses retired in Feb/11/ 2022 and sold my last house and had a close to **** good credit history and score around 745. The added debt that Truth Finder claim was mine which actually was my deceased dad who was living in ************ at the time since 1960was transfered to me even though I lived in *****. TRUTH FINDER DID NOT DO THEIR RESEARCH AND AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE I WILL TAKE THIS ISSUE TO ANOTHER LEVEL BECAUSE OF THE **** AND SUFFERING THAT THEY (TRUTH FINDER) HAVE CAUSE ME BECAUSE OF THEIR ERRORS. A word of caustion for meople withthe same name of the father (parent) . Again, even though I have the same ***** and last name I also have a middle name and my deceased dad did not. Truth finder ignored the records and my complaint when I tried to address it with them to make the necessary changes to correct their error concerning my credit history reporting.Signed: B E Way

    Truthfinder lies about a free initial service. They keep you on line for 15 minutes letting you think you have a free service and at the end if you want to see everything it will cost you no less than $28 in change. They are lying and need to be addressed.

    A scam! The Free or even 30 day option do not exist. I had to pay $47.03 as base charge for a report, which demanded an additional $3.99.then presented me with a choice of 5 invalid email addresses to choose from in order to validate/ receive my report! By the time I had called my bank to cancel, they had withdrawn the $47.03!No report or follow up was received by me to correct any error or mistake,

    My report contained information from multiple people with my name, which would lead a viewer to believe things that do not apply to me. This service hands out personal information to anybody who wants it, this is no better than a telemarketer saying "you want to know anything about anybody without a valid reason, here it is for a low price of .." Wildly inaccurate reports, ought to be refunded. They even failed to find 90% of my public social media accounts..

    TruthFinder operates on a blueprint that appears to flout privacy laws, potentially violating CCPA and similar state regulations.Non-Consensual Data Collection: They steal your personal information without permission.Paywall Extortion: They demand payment just to access what they took, forcing you to pay (in my case, $28.33).Excessive Verification Barriers: You must provide extensive details in my case, I went with screenshots, direct profile links, scans of government-issued ID, email, phone number, and previous correspondence just to request deletion.Failure to Delete: Even after complying, they refused to delete my data, claiming they couldnt verify my identity despite all the evidence provided.This approach isnt merely unethicalit borders on illegality, with potential violations including: CCPA Non-Compliance: Leading to $2,500+ in statutory damages FTC Act Section 5: Unfair and deceptive practices Potential Wire Fraud: Under 18 U.S. Code 1343 TruthFinders model is predatory. They exploit privacy for profit rather than providing a genuine service. My demand is simple: Delete my data immediately, refund my $28.33, and provide proof of compliance within seven (7) days. I also insist that they cease all future data collection and publication regarding my personal ************** others: Avoid this company at all costs. If your data is listed, file complaints with the *** rather than paying to have it removed. Document everything, and dont let them win by forcing you to pay for your own privacy.

    Nothing you have written has, in any way shape or form, indicated that your practice is morally permissible. I did not ask to remove my background. Let's be clear. What you are doing is wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself. If you tell yourself, "it's just a job", then count yourself among all the others who have used the same rationalization to be terrible people. If you care about who you are, if you care about making this world a better place, then quit your job. Find a better one. I assure you there are better options for you.
