As soon as you pay them money, they have you in Check Mate\! I paid for a background check on myself and most of the information was listed 4-5 times and then the rest wasn't even mine. You can't do an accurate without a person's SSN. The report given was absolutely useless and they won't refund, so I had to dispute it with my bank\! Bad business when you don't deliver the product paid for and then won't refund or make it right\! ----- ### "There's a reason they don't give a free trial" — 1.0/5 > **James** | *21 September 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: There was really very little to like once I saw an actual report. > > **Cons**: There was so much information missing and what was provided was so often extremely inaccurate. > > Very disappointed with the product. It did not at all provide what I really needed and thought it was going to provide. ----- ### "Know who your dealing with at all times" — 5.0/5 > **Christine L** | *30 January 2020* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a great system. It helps you know the main facts. True some privacy is nice but the most important thing is safety. > > **Cons**: It's kinda general. It allows you to search one by one so it can take a rather long time to get through a list. > > Instant checkmate will be your best friend. It allows you to make sure people are who they say they are. ----- ### "Checkmate" — 5.0/5 > **Alex** | *22 December 2019* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used this app to do a background check on my tenants for the property that I rent out.I found it to very helpful and I got fast results for the background checks. > > **Cons**: The only con that I had was that I did one day free trial and they ended up charging me for a month instead of a free trial. > > Overall my experience was pretty positive when they overcharged. I called customer service and they were very helpful and friendly. They were to fix the program right away and the money went back into my account immediately. ----- ### "Decent compared to others" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 August 2018* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, for the most part it was pretty accurate, it's a decent tool to have in your resource Group > > **Cons**: Nothing really negative to say. A little more accurate information, but for the price it's a good resource to have. > > Customer service is great answer all questions Thorley and give explanations to them really enjoyed using this product. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/177787/instant-checkmate?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/177787/instant-checkmate) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nb | | ----- ## Structured Data
