Frequently asked questions
Cancel Recordsfinder: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel RecordsFinder and stop recurring charges in the philippines
What RecordsFinder is and why you might want to cancel
RecordsFinder is an online public records search service that lets you look up criminal records, marriage records, property information, and contact details through a monthly subscription model. If you signed up expecting simple, one-time searches but instead found yourself locked into recurring charges, you are not alone. Yafee has helped thousands of Philippine consumers navigate exactly this situation.
The service operates on a monthly advance billing system, which means you pay before each month begins. The critical issue for Philippine users is this: unused portions of your monthly subscription are non-refundable according to RecordsFinder's stated policy. That said, consumer protection laws may give you more rights than RecordsFinder's terms suggest. Understanding your options before you act is your best defense.
RecordsFinder does not offer a dedicated local Philippines presence, Filipino-language support, or GCash and Maya payment options. Support is primarily via email at [email protected] and a US-based phone line at 800-433-0567, which operates Monday to Friday 7 am to 6 pm PST, and Saturday to Sunday 7 am to 3:30 pm PST. This time zone gap and language barrier are exactly the kind of friction that keeps users trapped paying for services they no longer want.
How the subscription model works
When you subscribe to RecordsFinder, you gain ongoing access to their public records database rather than owning individual reports. This ongoing access model is the engine that keeps charges recurring month after month. Many users discover too late that they cannot simply download their data and cancel without penalty. The service is designed for continuous monthly access.
Your billing cycles forward automatically until you actively cancel. If you do not cancel before your next monthly billing date, you will be charged again. RecordsFinder does not send warning notices before charging you, so tracking your billing date is your responsibility. At Yafee, we recommend marking your calendar the moment you sign up.
Why philippine users face extra friction
RecordsFinder's website does not display clear local pricing in Philippine pesos (PHP ₱), nor does it offer Filipino-language customer service. Support requests often take 24 to 48 hours to receive a response, and the time zone mismatch means you may wait overnight for clarification. If you cancel via email and do not receive written confirmation, you have no proof the company received your request. This is a common trap that leads to surprise charges the following month.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is your legal shield when companies like RecordsFinder use unclear terms or fail to honor cancellation requests.
Under this law, you have the right to cancel any subscription service, and the company must process your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe. Section 52 of the Consumer Act protects you from unfair contract terms, including automatic renewals that are not transparently disclosed. If RecordsFinder charged you after you submitted a cancellation request, or if their cancellation process was deliberately obscured on their website, you may be entitled to a refund. The burden of proof lies with the company to show they provided clear, upfront disclosure about billing and cancellation.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the National Bureau of Investigation - Cybercrime Division (NBI-CD) handle consumer disputes in the Philippines. If RecordsFinder refuses to honor your cancellation or refund claim, you can escalate your complaint to the DTI Consumer Complaint Center without paying a fee. Yafee recommends documenting every step: screenshots, email confirmations, and payment receipts.
Your legal position
You hold strong legal ground under the Consumer Act. RecordsFinder must provide clear, accessible cancellation instructions before or at the point of purchase. If the company made cancellation deliberately difficult or failed to honor your cancellation request, you are entitled to recover charges incurred after your cancellation date. The DTI Consumer Complaint Center will investigate your claim at no cost, and the company must respond within 15 days.
How to cancel RecordsFinder by phone
Calling RecordsFinder gives you the fastest confirmation and a record of your cancellation request, provided you take notes during the call.
Step 1: prepare your account information
Before you call, gather the following details:
- Your RecordsFinder username or email address linked to your account
- Your phone number associated with the subscription
- Your last payment method (credit card ending digits)
- The date you signed up (if you remember it)
- A pen and paper to write down the agent's name and reference number
Step 2: call the RecordsFinder support line
Ring 800-433-0567. Be aware that this is a US-based number, so international calling charges may apply unless your mobile plan includes international minutes. Call during Philippine business hours early morning (7 am to 9 am PST) to reach an agent quickly.
Step 3: state your intention to cancel clearly
When you reach an agent, say: "I want to cancel my RecordsFinder subscription effective immediately. Please process this cancellation and send me written confirmation via email." Do not let the agent pressure you into a discounted rate or trial extension. Your goal is cancellation, not retention.
Step 4: note the agent's name and reference number
Ask the agent for their full name and a cancellation reference number. Write these down immediately. This reference is your proof that you initiated cancellation on that date.
Step 5: request written confirmation
Ask the agent to email you a cancellation confirmation within 24 hours. State your email address clearly. Confirm the cancellation date they are processing: this should be today, not your next billing date.
Step 6: follow up via email
If you do not receive written confirmation within 24 hours, send an email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Cancellation confirmation requested - reference [number]". Include the agent's name and the date and time you called. Yafee advises keeping this email in your records indefinitely.
How to cancel RecordsFinder by email
Email cancellation leaves a written trail, but it is slower than phone cancellation and requires follow-up to ensure the company processed your request.
Step 1: compose a formal cancellation email
Use this template:
Subject line: "Cancellation request - [Your username or email on account]"
Body:
Dear RecordsFinder Support,
I request immediate cancellation of my RecordsFinder subscription effective today [date]. My account email is [your email], and my username is [if known]. Please confirm this cancellation via email within 24 hours and provide a cancellation reference number. I understand that no further charges should be applied after today's date. If a charge appears after this email is sent, I will file a consumer complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) of the Philippines.
Thank you,
[Your full name]
[Your phone number]
Step 2: send to the correct email address
Send your email to [email protected]. Use the "read receipt" or delivery confirmation feature in your email client to verify RecordsFinder received it.
Step 3: wait for confirmation
RecordsFinder typically responds within 24 to 48 hours. If you do not receive a response within 48 hours, send a follow-up email with the subject line: "Urgent: Cancellation confirmation request - second notice".
Step 4: save all correspondence
Screenshot or print every email you send and every reply you receive. Store these in a dedicated folder. This documentation is essential if you need to file a dispute with your credit card company or escalate to the DTI.
How to cancel RecordsFinder by postal mail
RecordsFinder's mailing address is available for data opt-out requests, though it is unclear whether the company processes cancellations via postal mail. This method is the slowest and leaves you vulnerable to billing delays.
Step 1: obtain the mailing address
RecordsFinder does not list a cancellation address on its website. Contact [email protected] first and ask for the official mailing address for subscription cancellations. Do not send a letter without confirming the address is correct.
Step 2: prepare a formal cancellation letter
Write a letter on plain paper with your name, address, email, and phone number at the top. Date the letter. Include your RecordsFinder username or account email, and write: "I hereby request immediate cancellation of my RecordsFinder subscription as of [today's date]. Please send written confirmation of this cancellation to my email address above."
Step 3: send via registered mail
Use registered or tracked postal mail so you have proof of delivery. Send the letter to the address RecordsFinder provides. Keep the postal receipt and tracking number.
Step 4: follow up via email
Two weeks after posting your letter, send an email to [email protected] referencing your postal cancellation letter and requesting confirmation. Include the postal tracking number. This dual method ensures you have evidence of cancellation even if the postal letter goes astray.
Understanding RecordsFinder's cancellation policy and billing timeline
Yafee recommends understanding the exact timing of your cancellation relative to your billing cycle.
RecordsFinder charges you on the same date each month. For example, if you subscribed on the 15th, you are charged on the 15th of every subsequent month. If you cancel on the 20th but your billing date is the 15th of next month, RecordsFinder will charge you again on that date unless your cancellation is processed in time. Always specify "effective immediately" in your cancellation request to avoid this trap.
If RecordsFinder charges you after you initiated cancellation, contact your credit card company or bank within 60 days and dispute the charge. File a chargeback or reversal claim, citing your cancellation request email or phone record as evidence. Yafee advises that under Philippine law and international payment processor rules, you have the right to dispute unauthorized charges that occur after a valid cancellation request.
What to do after you cancel RecordsFinder
Cancellation is not complete until you verify your access has been removed and no further charges appear on your statement.
Step 1: verify your access has been revoked
Try to log in to your RecordsFinder account 24 to 48 hours after your cancellation is processed. You should receive an error message or a notice that your account is no longer active. If you can still log in, contact [email protected] immediately and state that your cancellation was not processed.
Step 2: monitor your payment method for 60 days
Check your credit card or bank statement weekly for 60 days. If RecordsFinder charges you after your cancellation date, dispute the charge with your bank immediately. Do not wait. Time limits apply: you must dispute the charge within 60 days of the unauthorized transaction under payment processor rules.
Step 3: request data deletion (optional)
Under the Data Privacy Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 10173), you can request that RecordsFinder delete your personal data, including your payment information. Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Data deletion request under the Data Privacy Act". Include your full name, account email, and request that the company delete all personal information and payment records associated with your account.

Common mistakes when canceling RecordsFinder
You are not alone if you have already made one of these errors. Knowing what went wrong helps you correct it now.
Mistake 1: canceling only your payment method, not your account
Deleting your credit card from your RecordsFinder account does not cancel the subscription. RecordsFinder will mark your account as unpaid and may suspend it, but the subscription remains active. The company will attempt to re-bill you if you add a new payment method or if your bank updates your card details automatically. Always submit a formal cancellation request.
Mistake 2: assuming silence means approval
If RecordsFinder does not reply to your cancellation email within 48 hours, this does not mean the company has canceled your subscription. Follow up via phone or send a second email. Yafee emphasizes that silence is not consent in contract law. You must receive written confirmation.
Mistake 3: canceling on your billing date
If you cancel on the exact date RecordsFinder charges you, the charge may process before the cancellation takes effect. Cancel at least 5 business days before your billing date to ensure the cancellation is processed first. Always ask RecordsFinder: "What is my exact monthly billing date?" before you cancel.
Mistake 4: not disputing unexpected charges
If RecordsFinder charges you again after you canceled, you must dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company within 60 days. Waiting longer forfeits your right to a refund. Yafee advises filing a dispute immediately, even if you are waiting for RecordsFinder to respond to your complaint.
Mistake 5: failing to document your cancellation
If you cancel by phone and do not write down the agent's name, reference number, and cancellation date, you have no proof. RecordsFinder may later claim you never called. Always request written confirmation and save every email.
When to escalate to the department of trade and industry
If RecordsFinder refuses to honor your cancellation or refund claim after you have made multiple attempts, escalate your complaint to the government.
File a formal complaint with the DTI Consumer Complaint Center at:
Department of Trade and Industry
Consumer Complaint Center
4th Floor, Trade and Industry Building
361 Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Makati City 1200, Philippines
Telephone: +63 2 8757-3111
Email: [email protected]
Website: www.dti.gov.ph
Include in your complaint: your original subscription confirmation email, all cancellation request emails or phone records, screenshots of your payment statements showing charges after your cancellation date, and copies of any correspondence with RecordsFinder. There is no filing fee. The DTI will send your complaint to RecordsFinder, which has 15 days to respond. If RecordsFinder fails to resolve the dispute, the DTI Consumer Complaint Center may conduct mediation or refer your case for further investigation.
