Hello Francesca, please can you contact us through our email address feedback@192.com and put 'Trustpilot' in the subject line and we will be happy to look into this for you. Thanks.

Did not give the information advertised in the Background Report. Only confirmed a past address which we knew to be able to order the report. Other information was wrong not required and out of date.
A completely pointless report which gave nothing.
Very disappointing.

I didn’t read the terms and conditions properly and lost my 4 credits as they expired after a month. I sent an enquiry which was resolved straight away and I was re credited with a months extension, this was very fair. Thank you

Reliable and efficient
This is the first time I have used the service. I had a number of searches to conduct, one of which raised an issue which I referred, after business hours to 'Customer Help'. By the following morning, following some intelligent questions from Matt, the advisor in question, the issue was satisfactorily resolved.

Awful company
Awful company. They appear cheap compared to more efficient companies . Once signed up became apparent that 6 credits is not 6 different people searches but 6 pieces of information about a single person. Search proved unsuccessful - they couldn’t trace address. I then went to a slightly more expensive company who give full refund if unsuccessful. They were able to provide address plus much more including ccjs within 24 hours.
Farcical response from 192. Bottom line is their service is useless irrespective of how many credits required. What they can’t answer is why another tracer costing less finds address and CCC details in 24 hours when 192 found nothing. Do not be duped.

Dear Russell,
The credits allow you to search for the records provided from the Open Electoral Roll, Business records, County Court Judgments (CCJ), Insolvency data, and Mortality data.
The credit is used when you enter a name and location and press search. An additional credit will then be used if you click on anything else within that search ie CCJ, Insolvency Check, Mortality Check, Director link or other occupant, as these are classed as new searches and another credit is used.
If you click to view the Property Ownership Verification to check if a person is/has been the owner of the property that was searched, then we do advise that 2 credits will be used to view this data.
We do explain all of this under the Help pages prior to and after purchasing credits.
If a current record isn’t shown, it would mean that the person(s) concerned had opted off the open electoral roll on our website. Our Help pages explain this in more detail before and after registering to use our services.
There is a credit warning function that (unless switched off by the user) alerts customers every time they are going to use credits.
We are sorry that you have not been happy with the 192.com product, so please email us at feedback@192.com and we will be happy to look at your account.
Thanks.

Spent £38 on credit only got 2 searches your credits just disappear. No way to find out how many credits you have left always takes you to the buy more credits page. This service is terrible please do not use it.

Sold me the wrong information and when I asked for a refund, no reply for over two weeks.

So 192.com did receive my querry.

I have just spent £20 on credits
I have just spent £20 on credits. All credits used to view one item, with no information on it.
I understand you take a risk with Information not being available.. But this is a scam it has taken all my credits and I only clicked once. I will be expecting a refund very unfair.
Furthermore I have just checked once your out of credits you can search for free, but buy credits and it will take them to do the same search and not click on anything. I'm appauled!

Credits are required if you wish to search for the premium records which include names and address provided from the Open Electoral Roll and Companies House, Insolvency data and Mortality data.
If we can offer any further help, please email feedback@192.com.

Dear Rod, The records we display on 192.com are provided from the open electoral roll and show a name, address and year a person was registered to vote at that address. If a current record isn’t shown it means the person had opted off the open electoral roll with their council. We do explain this in more detail under the FAQ’s on the Help pages.

Hello Barry, The records we display on 192.com are provided from the open electoral roll and show a name, address and year a person was registered to vote at that address.
This means we will show previous/historic electoral roll data provided to us over the years.
If a current record isn’t shown, it means that the person(s) concerned had opted off the open electoral roll when canvassed by their local council. Our Help pages explain this in more detail before and after registering to use our services. Thanks.
