Frequently asked questions
Cancel TruthFinder: The Right Way
How to cancel TruthFinder and stop recurring charges
Why you might want to cancel TruthFinder
TruthFinder is a US-based background check service that has attracted UK subscribers, but many users find the platform delivers limited value once their initial search objective is complete. Understanding your reasons for cancellation helps you make an informed decision about whether to proceed and whether you may be entitled to a refund.
Most subscribers sign up with a specific task in mind: verifying someone's background, locating a contact, or conducting a one-off search. After that goal is achieved, the service's core value disappears, yet monthly charges continue to accumulate on your bank statement. TruthFinder operates predominantly on US public records databases, which means UK residents frequently encounter irrelevant results because British records operate under different legal frameworks and data-protection standards. You end up paying for access to information that cannot effectively answer your queries.
A second common frustration centres on automatic renewal and pricing changes. Many subscribers are caught out when promotional rates-advertised during sign-up-expire after the first or second billing cycle, jumping to the standard full price without prior warning. If you do not monitor your statements closely, weeks may pass before you notice the increase. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers understand their cancellation rights and move forward with clarity.
Common reasons for cancellation
You have completed your required searches and no longer need ongoing access. The service returns mostly US data, which is not relevant to UK-based background checks. Promotional trial rates have expired and you are now charged the full standard rate. You have concerns about the privacy implications or data-collection practices. A competitor offers better value, more UK-relevant results, or superior customer service.
What happens if you do not cancel
Your subscription will renew automatically on your billing anniversary. Charges will continue to appear on your card or bank account indefinitely, even if you are not using the service. If you dispute a charge as unauthorised, your payment provider may reverse it, but TruthFinder can suspend your account and report it as delinquent. You will lose money every month without deriving any benefit. Taking action as soon as you decide to leave prevents unnecessary charges from accumulating.
TruthFinder subscription plans and pricing
Clarifying what you currently pay helps you confirm cancellation is the right choice and determines whether you may qualify for a refund under UK consumer law.
Current subscription tiers and what you pay
TruthFinder offers several membership options with different billing cycles and price points. Longer upfront commitments typically show a lower per-month rate, but they also lock you into extended payment periods and make cancellation more complex.
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Approximate UK cost | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly membership | Every 30 days | £22-28 per month | Unlimited searches, basic reports, contact information |
| Two-month membership | Every 60 days | £40-50 per cycle | Unlimited searches, standard reports, social media lookups |
| Premium membership | Every 30 days | £32-42 per month | Enhanced reports, reverse phone lookup, family tree data |
Factors that affect your final charge
Several variables influence the amount debited from your account. Currency conversion from US dollars to pounds sterling creates variation, particularly depending on the exchange rate on your renewal date. Promotional trial rates advertised at sign-up typically expire after one or two billing cycles, after which you are charged the full regular price. Your credit card company may apply international transaction fees on top of the subscription cost; these fees are not TruthFinder's responsibility, but they do increase your total expenditure. If you are on a longer contract (two-month or three-month plan), you cannot avoid charges until that cycle completes, unless you cancel before the next renewal date.
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
UK consumer law provides you with robust protections when cancelling a subscription service, and these rights apply to TruthFinder regardless of where the company is registered.
Legal position under UK consumer law
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (any service purchased online or by post) within 14 calendar days of purchase, without penalty, as long as you do so before the service has been substantially performed. If you purchased your TruthFinder subscription within the last 14 days and have not conducted significant searches, you are entitled to a full refund. For subscriptions older than 14 days, you do not have a statutory cancellation right; however, you can still ask TruthFinder to cancel your account, and you will cease to incur charges from your next billing date onwards.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 also requires that subscription services clearly disclose the automatic renewal terms before you purchase. If TruthFinder did not make the renewal terms transparent at the point of sale, or if the company made it unnecessarily difficult to cancel, you may have grounds to challenge unfair contract terms. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) is the primary enforcement body for consumer protection in the UK; if TruthFinder refuses to honour a legitimate cancellation request, you can escalate your complaint to the OFT or pursue the matter through your payment provider's dispute process.
Refund eligibility within 14 days
You qualify for a full refund if all of the following conditions are met: you purchased your subscription within the last 14 calendar days; you have not substantially used the service (conducting just one or two searches does not necessarily disqualify you, but extensive use may); and you cancel before the 14-day period expires. When you request a refund within the 14-day window, provide clear evidence of your purchase (receipt email, bank statement) and state that you are exercising your cancellation right under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. TruthFinder should process a refund within 30 days of your cancellation request.
Cancellation after 14 days
If your subscription is older than 14 days, you no longer have an automatic right to a refund under consumer protection law. Nevertheless, you can still cancel your account to prevent future charges. Once you cancel, TruthFinder must stop charging you from your next billing date. You will not recover payments already made, unless you can demonstrate a breach of contract or unfair terms (for example, if TruthFinder made cancellation deliberately difficult or hidden).
How to cancel TruthFinder: step-by-step cancellation methods
Yafee recommends using the online cancellation method whenever possible, as it provides an immediate confirmation and creates a digital record of your request.
Cancel TruthFinder online through your account
- Log in to your TruthFinder account using your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page.
- Check your email for the password reset link.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section.
- This is typically found in a menu labelled "Settings," "Account," or "Manage Subscription."
- Look for an option that says "Billing," "Subscriptions," or "Membership."
- Locate the "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Membership" button.
- Click it to initiate the cancellation process.
- TruthFinder may ask you to confirm your decision or to provide feedback on why you are leaving.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the cancellation.
- You may be offered a discount or retention incentive; decline it if you are certain about your decision.
- Once confirmed, you should receive an immediate on-screen confirmation message.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from TruthFinder.
- Save this email as proof of cancellation.
- The confirmation should state the date your cancellation takes effect.
Cancel TruthFinder via the mobile app
- Open the TruthFinder mobile app on your device.
- Ensure you are logged in with your account credentials.
- Navigate to the settings or account menu.
- On iOS, this is typically at the bottom of the screen.
- On Android, this may be accessible via a hamburger menu (three horizontal lines).
- Select "Subscription," "Billing," or "Manage Plan."
- The exact label varies depending on your device and app version.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Membership."
- The app will display your current plan details and the cancellation date.
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping the final confirmation button.
- You will receive an immediate in-app notification.
- An email confirmation should arrive within minutes.
Cancel TruthFinder by post (written notice)
- Write a formal cancellation letter on plain paper or email.
- Include your full name, email address, and TruthFinder account number.
- State clearly: "I wish to cancel my TruthFinder subscription effective immediately."
- Include the date of the letter.
- Send your letter to TruthFinder's cancellation address.
- TruthFinder, Attn: Customer Service, [US mailing address as stated on TruthFinder's website].
- For email cancellation, send to the customer support email listed on the TruthFinder website.
- Retain a copy and ask for email confirmation if sending by post.
- Allow 5-7 working days for processing.
- Your cancellation will take effect from your next billing date.
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation once it has been processed.
Cancel via your payment provider
- Contact your bank or credit card company.
- Explain that you wish to revoke the standing order or recurring payment to TruthFinder.
- Provide your card number and the reference details shown on your statement.
- Request that your payment provider terminate the recurring charge.
- This is sometimes called "stopping a standing order" or "cancelling a recurring payment."
- Ask for written confirmation of the cancellation.
- Note that this approach prevents future charges, but it does not formally cancel your TruthFinder account.
- TruthFinder may attempt to contact you or send a reminder when the next payment fails.
- For clarity and to avoid disputes, also cancel directly through TruthFinder using one of the methods above.
What happens after you cancel TruthFinder
Cancellation is straightforward, and your account status changes immediately once you confirm your request online or your written notice is received.
Timeline and what to expect
When you cancel through the website or app, your account is suspended immediately and you lose access to search functions. Your cancellation confirmation email arrives within minutes and acts as proof of your cancellation date. If you cancelled by post or email, processing takes 5-7 working days; your access is revoked once the request is confirmed. Your next scheduled billing date will not result in a charge if your cancellation is processed before the renewal occurs. Check your bank or credit card statement in the following 1-2 weeks to confirm that no charge appears.
Refund processing and timescales
If you are eligible for a refund (within the 14-day cancellation window), TruthFinder will process it to your original payment method. Refunds typically appear within 5-10 working days, depending on your bank. If you do not see a refund after 10 days, contact TruthFinder's customer service with your cancellation confirmation email and request a status update. For cancellations after 14 days, you will not receive a refund for your current or past payments unless you can demonstrate a breach of contract or unfair terms. Yafee recommends retaining your cancellation confirmation and all associated correspondence in case you need to escalate a dispute to your payment provider or the Office of Fair Trading.
Your account and personal data
After cancellation, your account is typically deactivated rather than deleted. TruthFinder may retain your personal data in accordance with its privacy policy and for legal compliance purposes. If you wish to have your account and data deleted entirely, contact TruthFinder's data-protection team and submit a formal request under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You have the right to request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain exemptions (for example, if TruthFinder must retain records for tax or legal reasons).
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation is rarely complicated, but a few preventable errors can cause confusion or delays in processing your request.
Mistake 1: cancelling only your payment method without notifying TruthFinder
Stopping the recurring payment at your bank does halt future charges, but it does not formally cancel your TruthFinder account. TruthFinder may flag your account as delinquent and attempt to collect payment later. Always cancel directly with TruthFinder using one of the methods outlined above, then monitor your statement to ensure no further charges appear.
Mistake 2: assuming you are automatically refunded after cancellation
Cancellation and refund are separate processes. Simply cancelling your subscription does not trigger a refund unless you act within 14 days of purchase. If you are eligible for a refund, state this explicitly in your cancellation request and ask for confirmation of the refund status. If TruthFinder does not process a refund within 30 days, escalate the matter to your payment provider or the Office of Fair Trading.
Mistake 3: not retaining cancellation confirmation
Always save your cancellation confirmation email or take a screenshot of the on-screen confirmation. If a charge appears after you cancel, you will need this proof to dispute it with your payment provider or to make a claim against TruthFinder. Without documentation, you have no evidence of your cancellation request.
Mistake 4: failing to cancel before your renewal date
If your next billing date is imminent and you cancel online or via email, there is a risk the charge will process before your cancellation request is acknowledged. To avoid this, cancel as soon as possible and monitor your statement closely over the following week. If an unwanted charge appears after you have cancelled, dispute it immediately with your bank.

TruthFinder cancellation address and contact details
If you wish to cancel by post or need to escalate a cancellation dispute, use the contact details below.
Official cancellation address
For postal cancellation, write to: TruthFinder Customer Service Team, [US corporate address as listed on the official TruthFinder website].
For email cancellation, contact: [email protected] or the customer service email address listed on the TruthFinder website.
Escalation and complaints
If TruthFinder refuses to cancel your subscription or process a legitimate refund, file a complaint with the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) at www.gov.uk/check-if-product-is-unsafe. Additionally, contact your payment provider's dispute team and explain that TruthFinder is charging you without authorisation; your bank can reverse unauthorised charges and investigate the matter.
Summary and next steps
Cancelling your TruthFinder subscription is straightforward if you follow the correct procedure and retain proof of your cancellation request. If you purchased your subscription within the last 14 days, you are entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015; state this clearly in your cancellation request and ask for confirmation of refund processing. For older subscriptions, you can still cancel to stop future charges, though you will not recover past payments. Use the online account dashboard or mobile app for the fastest cancellation, allow 5-7 working days if you cancel by post, and always monitor your bank statement to confirm that charges have stopped.
