Frequently asked questions
Cancel Intelius: The Right Way
How to cancel Intelius and protect your consumer rights in new zealand
What Intelius is and why new zealand users cancel
Intelius is an online people-search and background-check service that provides access to public records, contact information, and detailed search reports. You may have signed up to verify employment histories, conduct due diligence on business contacts, or reconnect with people from your past. If you no longer need the service, or if you have discovered that Intelius does not adequately support New Zealand customers, cancellation is your right under consumer law.
How Intelius operates as a U.S.-focused service
Intelius markets itself primarily to American subscribers and prices its services in USD. The company displays limited support infrastructure for New Zealand users and does not publish a dedicated local address for cancellation or billing inquiries. This lack of transparency creates friction for Kiwi consumers. Yafee has documented this gap in service provision and provides New Zealand customers with a clear pathway to cancel and assert their legal protections.
Why new zealand users face additional barriers
Because Intelius operates from the United States, its cancellation channels, refund policies, and billing workflows are designed for American subscribers. As a New Zealand consumer, you have stronger legal protections than Intelius's standard terms may acknowledge. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 apply to your purchase, regardless of where Intelius is based. Yafee exists to help you navigate these international services and enforce your local rights without compromise.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
New Zealand consumer protection law extends to purchases from overseas companies, including digital services and subscription subscriptions.
The consumer guarantees act 1993 and fair trading act 1986
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have the right to receive services with reasonable care, skill, and timeliness. If Intelius failed to deliver accurate search results, made false claims about data access, or charged you without providing the promised service, you can demand a remedy: a refund, credit, or cancellation without penalty. The Fair Trading Act 1986 protects you against misleading conduct, including hidden auto-renewal practices, unclear cancellation terms, or deceptive marketing claims. Both Acts apply to overseas businesses trading with New Zealand consumers.
Your legal position: You do not have to accept Intelius's cancellation terms if they conflict with New Zealand consumer law. If the company refuses to cancel your account or process a refund you are entitled to, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or file a dispute with the Disputes Tribunal.
Escalation pathways if Intelius refuses to comply
If Intelius declines your refund request or cancellation after you have followed the steps below, contact the Commerce Commission or file a dispute through the Disputes Tribunal for claims under NZD 15,000. Document all your communications with Intelius support: screenshots of charges, subscription confirmations, cancellation attempts, and email replies. Many overseas businesses operating in New Zealand underestimate consumer enforcement; the Commerce Commission has taken action against services using non-compliant auto-renewal tactics. Yafee recommends keeping a dated record of every interaction to strengthen your case.
Pricing and subscription options
Intelius offers several pricing tiers, most displayed in USD with limited transparency for New Zealand billing.
| Plan type | Typical cost (USD) | Renewal frequency | Cancellation difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-time report | USD 27.78 - USD 47.85 | One-time charge | Low (no ongoing subscription) |
| Monthly subscription | USD 27.78 per month | Monthly auto-renewal | Medium (requires active cancellation) |
| Annual subscription | USD 199.00 - USD 249.00 | Annual auto-renewal | Medium (same process as monthly) |
| Premium plus tier | USD 42.99 - USD 59.99 per month | Monthly auto-renewal | Medium (standard cancellation applies) |
If you purchased a one-time report, cancellation is not required; your liability ends after the single charge. If you enrolled in a monthly or annual subscription, you must actively cancel to stop recurring charges. Yafee advises reviewing your bank statements to confirm which plan you hold before proceeding.
Methods to cancel Intelius from new zealand
You have three primary cancellation pathways depending on how you signed up and how you wish to proceed.
Cancel through your Intelius web account
This is the most direct route and the one Yafee recommends attempting first if you retain access to your login credentials.
- Sign in to your Intelius account at their website.
- Use the email address and password associated with your subscription.
- If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot password?" link and follow the reset process.
- Check your email for the password reset link and create a new password.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section.
- Look for tabs or menu items labeled "Subscription," "Membership," "Billing," or "Manage Account."
- The exact label varies, but it will relate to your active service or recurring charges.
- Locate and click the cancel, downgrade, or pause option.
- Select the button to halt your subscription.
- You may be asked to confirm your decision or provide feedback on why you are canceling (optional).
- Confirm cancellation and immediately save your confirmation email or reference number.
- Screenshot or print the confirmation page showing that cancellation was processed.
- Intelius may send a confirmation email; retain this for your records.
- Note the date and time of cancellation and any reference code provided.
Contact Intelius customer support directly
If you cannot locate the cancellation option in your account, or if the online process fails, reach out to Intelius support in writing.
- Prepare your account details.
- Gather your email address, subscription start date, and most recent charge date from your bank or credit card statement.
- Write these details clearly so that Intelius can locate your account quickly.
- Send a cancellation request via email or contact form.
- Intelius operates primarily through online support; visit their website to find the "Contact Us" page.
- Use their contact form or email address and clearly state: "I request immediate cancellation of my Intelius subscription effective today."
- Include your account email and subscription details.
- Specify that you want all recurring charges stopped.
- State: "Please confirm that no further charges will be applied to my payment method after this date."
- Request a written confirmation of cancellation.
- Retain a copy of your sent email or contact form submission.
- Take a screenshot or forward yourself a copy so you have proof of your request.
- Note the date and time you submitted the cancellation request.
Initiate a chargeback with your bank or credit card provider
If Intelius ignores your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you have canceled, you can dispute the charges through your financial institution.
- Contact your bank or credit card provider.
- Call the customer service number on the back of your card or log in to your online banking portal.
- Inform them that you wish to dispute charges from Intelius or that you have canceled a subscription but continue to be charged.
- Provide evidence of your cancellation request.
- Share screenshots of your online cancellation confirmation, the confirmation email from Intelius, or copies of your written cancellation request.
- Supply your bank statements showing the recurring charges after your cancellation date.
- Request a chargeback or reversal of charges.
- Your bank will initiate a dispute with Intelius on your behalf.
- The chargeback process typically takes 5 to 10 business days, depending on your bank.
- Follow up with your bank until the dispute is resolved.
- Your bank will notify you once Intelius has responded or the chargeback has been approved.
- Keep all correspondence from your bank in your cancellation records.
Refund timelines and what to expect
Intelius does not guarantee refunds for subscription cancellations made after the first charge, but New Zealand consumer law may entitle you to one.
Refund eligibility under consumer law
If you canceled within 14 days of your first charge and the service did not meet the standards promised, the Consumer Guarantees Act entitles you to a refund. If Intelius charged you but failed to provide accurate data, misled you about the scope of the search, or continued to charge after you requested cancellation, you have grounds for a refund. Yafee advises documenting any service failures or misleading marketing claims to support your refund request.
Processing timeline
After you cancel, Intelius typically stops all future charges within 1 to 3 business days. If your cancellation is processed online, the system usually stops recurring billing immediately, but the confirmation email may take 24 hours to arrive. If you requested cancellation by email or contact form, allow 5 to 10 business days for Intelius to respond and process your request. Check your bank or credit card statement 7 to 10 days after cancellation to confirm that no further charges appear.
Pursuing a refund for prior charges
If you believe Intelius charged you unfairly or without proper disclosure, send a written refund request to Intelius support citing the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. State the specific reason: service failure, misleading claims, or unauthorized auto-renewal. If Intelius refuses within 14 days, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission or the Disputes Tribunal. Yafee recommends keeping a copy of every communication to demonstrate that you have attempted to resolve the matter before escalating.
Common mistakes to avoid when canceling Intelius
Most New Zealand customers successfully cancel Intelius, but a few critical errors can delay the process or leave your account active.
Assuming cancellation happened automatically
Do not assume that stopping payment or deleting the app will cancel your subscription. Intelius's auto-renewal will continue unless you explicitly cancel through your account or contact support. Always obtain a written confirmation of cancellation, whether online or by email. Yafee has seen customers charged months after they believed they had canceled simply because they did not verify the cancellation.
Failing to confirm cancellation in writing
If you cancel by phone or in-app, request a confirmation email or reference number. Without written proof, you have no record if Intelius disputes the cancellation later or if you need to file a complaint with the Commerce Commission. Screenshot the confirmation page immediately after canceling online, and retain all emails from Intelius acknowledging your cancellation.
Not checking your bank statement after cancellation
Verify that no charges appear on your bank or credit card statement 7 to 10 days after cancellation. If you see a charge from Intelius after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to initiate a chargeback. This simple check prevents unexpected charges from compounding over months.
Ignoring auto-renewal terms in the original contract
Intelius's subscription terms include an auto-renewal clause, which is common but must be transparent under New Zealand law. If you were not clearly informed about the auto-renewal policy or the cancellation method before you purchased, you have grounds to dispute charges. Document any misleading marketing or unclear terms when pursuing a refund.
What to do after cancellation
Once you have canceled Intelius, confirm that your financial and personal data are secure.
Verify all charges have stopped
Check your bank or credit card statement 10 to 14 days after cancellation. If you see any further charges from Intelius, contact your bank or credit card provider and file a chargeback immediately. Yafee recommends setting a reminder on your phone or calendar to review your statement on day 10 to catch any errors quickly.
Request deletion of your personal data
Intelius collects and stores personal information as part of its service. After cancellation, send a written request asking Intelius to delete your account and personal data in accordance with privacy law. This is your right under the Privacy Act 2020 in New Zealand. Intelius must respond within 20 working days. Include your account email and a clear request: "Please delete my Intelius account and all personal data associated with it."
Monitor your credit for fraudulent activity
Because Intelius handles sensitive personal information, monitor your credit reports and bank activity for the next 3 months. If you notice unauthorized charges or suspect a data breach, contact your bank immediately and report the issue to the Commerce Commission if necessary.
Comparison: Intelius vs. other people-search services in new zealand
If you are considering canceling Intelius, you may want to understand how it compares to other available options.
| Service | Primary market | Cancellation support | New Zealand accessibility | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intelius | United States | Online and email (limited) | Low (no NZ address) | U.S. background checks |
| BeenVerified | United States | Online account settings | Low (U.S.-only) | U.S. people search |
| Pipl | International | Email support | Medium (limited local help) | Global background checks |
| Local NZ services | New Zealand | Phone and local address | High (full local support) | NZ employment screening |
If you are canceling because Intelius does not serve New Zealand users well, consider switching to a locally-based service that offers dedicated customer support and compliance with New Zealand consumer law. Yafee can help you understand your options and ensure that your next service provider meets your local legal protections.

Yafee's knowledge of New Zealand consumer law means you will not lose your rights simply because Intelius is based overseas.
Contact Intelius for cancellation
Intelius does not maintain a published New Zealand postal address for cancellation requests. You must cancel through one of the methods outlined above: your online account, email support via their website contact form, or by disputing charges with your bank. Yafee recommends attempting online cancellation first, then email support, and finally pursuing a chargeback if Intelius fails to respond within 10 business days.
Cancellation should be immediate and cost-free under New Zealand consumer law.
