Frequently asked questions
Cancel Truthfinder: The Right Way
How to cancel Truthfinder and stop automatic charges
Why you might cancel Truthfinder
Truthfinder is a subscription-based people-search service that aggregates public records, offers reverse phone and email lookups, and includes dark web monitoring. The service operates on automatic renewal, meaning your membership renews each billing cycle unless you actively cancel beforehand. Many Australian users sign up for introductory offers or trial periods, only to discover recurring charges on their statements months later.
If you've noticed unexpected charges, forgotten about an old account, or simply decided the service no longer meets your needs, you have clear legal grounds to cancel and dispute unwanted charges. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations and recover overpaid fees. This guide walks you through every step to cancel Truthfinder safely and reclaim control of your subscription.
Common reasons australian users cancel
Yafee customers report cancelling Truthfinder for several reasons: charges appearing without clear consent, difficulty using the service as advertised, introductory pricing converting to full-price subscriptions, or realising they simply don't need background reports. Some users discover they have multiple accounts generating separate charges. Others find that cancellation requests were processed incorrectly, and billing continued regardless.
Why cancellation matters under australian law
Australian consumer law gives you strong protections under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). If Truthfinder charged you without clear consent, failed to provide transparent terms before charging, or continued billing after you requested cancellation, you have grounds to dispute those charges and demand refunds. Understanding your legal position puts you in a stronger position to act decisively.
Truthfinder's pricing structure and automatic renewal model
Truthfinder operates on tiered, subscription-based pricing with automatic renewal at the end of each billing cycle. Exact pricing varies by region and promotional offers, but reported plan costs show a consistent pattern of monthly charges with occasional discounted multi-month options. When you sign up, your membership automatically renews unless you cancel before the renewal date.
| Plan type | Reported USD price | Approx AUD equivalent | Billing cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| People search (unlimited) | USD $28.33 | AUD $42-45 | Monthly |
| Reverse phone lookup | USD $4.99 | AUD $7-8 | Monthly |
| Reverse email lookup | USD $29.73 | AUD $44-48 | Monthly |
| Trial or introductory offers | USD $1-3 (first month) | AUD $1.50-4.50 | First month, then full price |
| Multi-month plans | Varies (discounted) | Varies | 3, 6, or 12 months |
How automatic renewal works in practice
If you're on a monthly plan with Truthfinder, you must cancel at least one day before your next monthly charge is due. If you miss that window, another full month's charge is processed automatically. You'll then need to request a refund separately. The cancellation window is often not clearly advertised during signup, and cancellation options are deliberately buried or difficult to find on the platform. This is a deliberate dark pattern designed to maximise missed cancellations.
Your legal rights under australian consumer law
Australian consumer law provides specific protections for subscription services that operate on automatic renewal. These protections are your strongest tool when dealing with Truthfinder.
Key protections under the australian consumer law
The ACL, enforced by the ACCC, requires that subscription providers:
- Obtain your express informed consent before charging you for any subscription
- Provide clear, visible terms and conditions before you subscribe, including the exact price, frequency, and duration of charges
- Make cancellation as easy as subscription: if you signed up online, you must be able to cancel online
- Honour cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe (typically within 2-3 business days)
- Stop charging you immediately after you cancel, not at the end of the current billing cycle
- Refund you for any charges made after your cancellation request if the company failed to stop billing promptly
Your legal position
If Truthfinder charged you without your express consent, made cancellation deliberately difficult, or continued billing after you cancelled, you have the right to dispute those charges and demand a refund. If Truthfinder fails to refund you within 14 days of your cancellation request, you can lodge a formal complaint with the ACCC or use the Australian Small Business Ombudsman (ASBO) if you are a small business. You may also pursue the matter through your credit card issuer or bank, who can initiate a chargeback on your behalf.
Methods to cancel Truthfinder
Truthfinder offers limited cancellation channels, but you have clear legal options if the company makes cancellation difficult.
Step 1: attempt cancellation through the website
Your first step is to log into your Truthfinder account and look for a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" option. This is typically found in account settings or billing preferences. If you can locate and click a cancellation button, follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation. You should receive a cancellation confirmation email immediately.
- Log into your Truthfinder account
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management
- Look for a Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription option
- Follow the prompts and confirm your cancellation
- Save or screenshot the confirmation email for your records
Step 2: contact Truthfinder by email if online cancellation fails
If you cannot locate a cancellation option on the website or the button does not work, send a written cancellation request by email. Yafee recommends sending this via email so you have a permanent record of your request. Write a clear, dated email stating your full name, account email address, subscription plan, and a direct request to cancel your subscription immediately.
- Compose a new email to Truthfinder's customer support address (typically [email protected] or [email protected])
- Include your full name, account email, and the date of your request
- State clearly: "I request cancellation of my Truthfinder subscription effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation and ensure no further charges are processed."
- Send the email and save the confirmation receipt
- Allow 2-3 business days for a response
Step 3: send a formal written cancellation notice by post
If Truthfinder does not respond to your email cancellation request within 3 business days, or if billing continues after you cancelled, send a formal letter by registered post to Truthfinder's corporate address. This creates an official paper trail and demonstrates that you took steps to cancel in accordance with consumer law.
- Address your letter to: TruthFinder LLC, 2534 State Street, Suite 473, San Diego, California 92101, United States
- Include your full name, account email address, phone number, and account number (if applicable)
- State the date you are sending the letter and the date you first attempted to cancel
- Write clearly: "I formally request immediate cancellation of my Truthfinder subscription, effective from the date of this letter. I request a written confirmation of cancellation and a refund of any charges processed after this date."
- Send the letter via registered post or international courier so you have proof of delivery
- Keep copies of the letter and the delivery receipt in your records
Step 4: dispute the charge with your bank or credit card provider
If Truthfinder continues to charge you after you've cancelled, or if you did not authorise the initial charge, contact your bank or credit card company immediately. Most Australian banks and credit card providers offer chargeback protection for unauthorised or disputed transactions. Provide them with copies of your cancellation request, the confirmation of charges on your statement, and any correspondence with Truthfinder.
- Contact your bank's dispute resolution team by phone, email, or through your online banking portal
- Request a chargeback for all charges made after your cancellation date
- Provide copies of your cancellation request and proof of delivery
- Provide copies of the charges on your statement that you dispute
- Follow up with your bank every 5 business days until the dispute is resolved
What to do after you cancel Truthfinder
Cancellation is not complete until you have confirmed it in writing and verified that charges have stopped.
Monitor your statement for continued charges
After you cancel, monitor your credit card or bank statement carefully for 30 days to ensure no further Truthfinder charges appear. If charges continue after your cancellation date, you have evidence of a billing error and grounds to demand a refund from both Truthfinder and your bank. Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder to check your statement one week after cancellation and again after 30 days.
Request a refund for any charges after your cancellation date
If Truthfinder charged you after you cancelled, send a formal refund request in writing. Under the ACL, Truthfinder is required to refund any charges made after your cancellation request if the company failed to stop billing promptly. State the exact amount you were charged, the dates of the charges, and the date you cancelled. Request a refund within 14 days.
Escalate to the ACCC if Truthfinder refuses to refund
If Truthfinder does not refund you within 14 days, lodge a formal complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). The ACCC can investigate unfair contract terms, misleading conduct, and failure to honour cancellation requests. You can submit a complaint online at accc.gov.au. Provide copies of all your correspondence with Truthfinder, your bank statements, and your cancellation request.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the right process, and understanding common pitfalls helps you protect your rights and recover any overpaid fees.
Mistake 1: assuming your cancellation is complete without confirmation
Many users click "Cancel" on the website and assume they're done, only to find charges continuing months later. Always wait for a written confirmation email from Truthfinder before treating your cancellation as final. If you don't receive a confirmation within 24 hours, follow up immediately by email or phone.
Mistake 2: cancelling after the charge has already processed
If your monthly charge has already been processed, cancelling will only stop future charges. You'll need to request a refund for the current month separately. Check your statement immediately after you sign up so you can cancel before the first full charge if you're unhappy with the service.
Mistake 3: not keeping records of your cancellation request
Always save or screenshot your cancellation confirmation, emails to customer support, and any correspondence with Truthfinder. If a dispute arises, these records are your proof that you took action to cancel. Yafee advises keeping these documents for at least 12 months after cancellation.
Mistake 4: disputing the charge without cancelling first
If you dispute a charge with your bank before officially cancelling with Truthfinder, the company may interpret this as a payment failure rather than a cancellation. Always send a formal cancellation request first, wait 2-3 business days for a response, and only dispute the charge if Truthfinder fails to honour your cancellation.
Comparison of cancellation methods
Different cancellation methods have different timelines and levels of legal protection. Choose the method that best suits your situation.
| Method | Timeline | Proof of request | Recommended when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Website cancellation | Immediate | Confirmation email | You can find the cancel button and receive instant confirmation |
| Email cancellation | 2-3 business days | Email receipt and response | Website cancellation is unavailable or not working |
| Registered post | 5-7 business days | Registered mail receipt | Truthfinder ignores email cancellation requests |
| Bank chargeback | 10-20 business days | Bank dispute form | Truthfinder refuses to stop charging after formal cancellation |
| ACCC complaint | 4-8 weeks | ACCC case number | Truthfinder breaches consumer law or refuses to refund |

Contact information and escalation
If you need to escalate your cancellation or dispute, use the contact details and authorities listed below.
Truthfinder contact details
Send your formal cancellation request by registered post to: TruthFinder LLC, 2534 State Street, Suite 473, San Diego, California 92101, United States. Email cancellation requests to [email protected] (or [email protected] if the support email is unavailable).
Australian regulatory authorities
If Truthfinder fails to honour your cancellation or refuses to refund, escalate your complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) at accc.gov.au. The ACCC investigates breaches of the Australian Consumer Law and can take enforcement action against companies that charge without consent or refuse to cancel subscriptions. You can also contact the Australian Small Business Ombudsman if you are a small business affected by Truthfinder's billing practices.
Final steps: protecting your subscription account
After you cancel Truthfinder, take steps to prevent accidental reactivation or further unwanted charges.
Change your password or close your account
If you have cancelled your Truthfinder subscription, consider changing your account password or requesting full account deletion. This prevents accidental reactivation if you click a link in an old email or if Truthfinder attempts to re-activate your account without authorisation. You can request account deletion in writing by email or post.
Opt out of marketing emails
Unsubscribe from Truthfinder's marketing emails immediately after cancellation. This prevents the company from sending you re-activation offers or promotional emails that might encourage you to re-subscribe accidentally. Click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email from Truthfinder.
Update your payment method or card if necessary
If Truthfinder has your credit card details on file and you are concerned about future unauthorised charges, consider cancelling the card or updating your payment method with your bank. Your bank can block future charges from Truthfinder if you request it in writing.
