Intelius charge you after free trial, but no log in page?

so you get a 7 day trial, then charged $35 monthly. I go to the website and there is no log in page. there is search bars, when you search someone, its like you start over again even though youve paid... starting over meaning-search, enter your name and email and agree not to be a stalker, enter credit card info all over again. one big ridiculous circle.. companies like this should be shut down. card ending 4141, name kaden gross. please refund immediately. email was either kobe.[protected]@gmail.com or [protected]@gmail.com.

Desired outcome: refund, cancel monthly

Intelius Refund for one month membership plan (24.98 USD)

Dear Intelius,

I have just registered for a 5 day free trial and I thought I would get unlimited access to personal information. Then I chose a 1 month plan (24 usd) since I assumed Intelius would only charge me after 5 day free trial period. This is a big misunderstanding.

Can I get a refund?

Please refund me. I am sorry,

Rose.

Intelius Intelius

Intelius has stolen over $200 from me over the past 7 months. I just received an email that PayPal was processing a transaction from Intelius. I used the service one time for a .95 cent fee and made sure to say that I did not want to be automatically renewed or billied in the future and now I just found out that they’ve been charging me $30 a month without my concent. I will be reporting this company to the better business bureau if they do not refund me immediately. As so many other people here have had the same problems with this scam of a company I’m shocked it’s not shut down yet and I’m sure it will be very soon

Desired outcome: Full refund

Intelius Unauthorized credit card charges

I once had an unauthorized $30 deduction from my account happen a month ago saying it came from an "Intelius" company. Guess what? I had never heard of this company or its services til that day of the unauthorized transaction when I went to go looking. I had never used their services, never heard of them, and yet they managed to get ahold of my credit card information through paypal and deduct $30 off the rip. Thank God, I managed to contact paypal and they helped me get my money back. But it really makes you think what kind of low-life piece of [censored] scummy people run this account. Hope their children get cancer and die before them.

Intelius Debit card

I'm being charged by this company 22.86 a month since Jan 13, 2021. When I canceled subscription before the free trail ended. I have tried contacting them. With no results, this is unbelievable that a company scams Money every month. I would like a full refund from Jan to present . I'm going to contact BBB about this. Since I canceled before free trail ended. Bad business! And still continue to be charged when I didn't approve any of these charges. Getting auto draft from my bank account.

Desired outcome: Full refund

Intelius Unauthorized credit card charges for subscription

I did a one time research on November 26, 2017 which ended? on March 25, 2018.
They automatically charge me for a 7 day trial premier plus, without any notice.
And have illegally charge me USD29.95/month ever since.

I tried to call the number but can never reach anyone and I am no sure it's a scam and I never agreed to this transaction.

Therefore, I am requesting a refund as a desirable resolution to my complaint.

Intelius unauthorized credit card payments

I have been charged $22.86 a month from September 2020 through July 2021 for a subscription I did not request. It seems to stem from a small one-time charge my son made to try and locate a friend. I let it go so long because I thought it was something to do with one of the boys games. By the time I realized no one in the house knew what this charge was for, I tried to cancel my subscription. Communicating directly with them is less than useless. Out of order phones, emails unanswered and if I heard anything from them it was excuses. Even Capital One doesn't make it easy to do.

Desired outcome: I would like a refund on everything except the small amount for the one-time list. That is what we had agreed to pay.
