Created an account

Created an account. Circumstances changed so didn't need the account. Emailed to ask that account be deleted. Within less than a hour, received a response that account had been deleted. Impressive service. 5 stars.

Save your £20, just search online.

Spent £20 to find information about a respondant, but no other information was available. Despite listing previous address history as one of the advantages, none were visible, and most of the information isnt available about people in Scotland. Utterly useless.

Helpful and quick customer support service

Their customer support service is quick and extremely resourceful. I had some issues downloading a couple of reports, as they were too large to download or to be sent via email. I reached out to them and they were ready to help me coming up with a solution in a matter of minutes. Thank you!

Tres Belle Jewellers Royston Herts.

I went to Tres Belle Jewellers in Royston High Street for a watch repair. It was such amazing service! I was kept informed throughout. The price was great and they did a super job on my watch repair. The item had such sentimental value to me and they totally understood what I needed and why. They were so polite. I would not go anywhere else now. This will be my go to jeweller from now on. Thank you for a great service. I would highly recommend.

BEWARE: You will be charged for EVERYTHING!

I had an account and ran some searches. Saw someone who looked like the person I wanted, so paid for some credits. The good news is a got the details I wanted.

What wasn't clear was that EVERY ACTION you undertake when you have credits costs you credits. Even a search will cost you! Do not click anywhere without expecting a charge.

So, my advice is this... Have two accounts, one with credits and one without. Do your searching on the one without credits, and only switch to the one with credits when you know exactly who's results you want to pay for.

Honestly, I couldn't believe the business model here. It's bonkers! The only other positive thing I have to say is that the Customer Services telephone line was answered swiftly by someone who was relatively receptive, and I did get a small credit refund (not all of the credits I'd lost, but some).

More clarity needed on pricing and extremely short shelf life of credits

Not clear at all when purchasing credits that they only have a very limited life, just a month in some cases. Also not clear that VAT is charged on top. Minimum purchase of 6 credits makes it a *very* expensive way of confirming an address. They have very reluctantly issued a refund for expired credits but because I paid using PayPal I have been charged a fee to get the refund. Very poor business practice. AVOID unless you enjoy throwing money away. Judging by the number of other 1* reviews I’m not the only one who is disappointed by this “service”

Our records show that you purchased a product from us in February 2023, and as stated in our Terms and Conditions (4.1.1), the product purchased was valid to use within one month of the purchasing date. This validity period is also mentioned on the product selection page.

When you contacted our customer service team earlier in the month, the service agent you spoke to, as a gesture of goodwill, reinstated the credits back to your account a further month.

During our payment process we do show the breakdown of price, before and after VAT. This is shown clearly within the “Package” section at checkout for visibility before you confirm your transaction.

As you were not happy with the service provided by 192.com, we decided to return the payment back to you as a gesture of goodwill, because of the personal circumstances you mentioned.

As the payment had been made more than 6 months previously, PayPal would only let us transfer the money back to you directly, as they would not allow us to process a refund through their system.

Unfortunately, we have no control over PayPal charging a fee. We are sorry about the transaction fee of £0.79 which was applied by PayPal.

Credits only last 6 months

I had not taken onboard that credits expired after 6 months. I contacted the helpdesk and they kindly extended the term by 3 months. So i will pay attention in future.

We offer '20 FREE' Directory Enquiry searches per day once an account has been registered, if you’re trying to find a telephone number. To search you need to enter the name and location of the person and if there is a telephone number available it will be displayed to you. If a telephone number doesn’t appear on your initial search, it would mean the person was ex directory and there is no way of finding the number.

If you wish to view the open/edited electoral roll records, then you would need to register an account and purchase credits. We have a variety of prices which range from 6 credits £19.14 to 600 credits £257.94. Full details can be found under the 'get credits' and Help pages.

I had a query about my account and contacted the company; I received a very prompt and polite reply from Laura in Customer Services who explained the situation even though it was out of normal business hours.
I will definitely use the company again.

I paid for the background report £20, It turns out that's not the correct person, I emailed them and they refused to refund me? they basically stole £20 from me for getting no info, I want a refund or I'll charge back from the bank.

Dear Adam
Before confirming the purchase you would have selected the name and address for the report. We can see from our records that you have generated and viewed the report. So you have received what you paid for, and accusing us of theft for providing the service that you paid for seems a bit over the top. However, as a gesture of goodwill, we have now refunded your payment. Please do double-check with any future reports that you purchase that you have specified the correct details!
Thanks.

No info available

Gives the impression of having plenty information about an individual but after payment, I discover they have nothing. Also I seem to have been charged twice. UPDATE
The information you mention is available without payment. Please explain why I have been charged twice for no additional information!

Hello, 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 record isn’t shown, it means the person(s) searched had opted off the open electoral roll. Our Help pages explain this in more detail before and after registering to use our services.

Please email us at feedback@192.com and we will be happy to look at your account for you. Thanks.

This database does NOT have any info on it!!

This is the biggest load of crap around!! They give an individuals name, make it look as if they have loads of info, but their database is all garbage!! I bought the background verification and literally came back with no results on everything!!!!

UPDATE: They responded saying that the money has been refunded...THAT'S A LIE!!! Their response was 2 days ago and they said as you cannot comment of the responses left on Trustpilot!

Dear Kevin,
The Background Report data comes from a variety of public resources which include the Open Electoral roll, the Telephone directory, the Land Registry, Companies House, the Registry Trust, the Insolvency Service and Mortality data. We can only provide information where available.
The open electoral roll records will show a name, address and year the 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 192.com Help pages.
The report built a profile around the information that was available for the name and address that you selected.
Our records show that the payment made for the report has been refunded back for you.
If we can offer any further help, please email us at feedback@192.com. Thanks.
