About Intelius

Intelius is a consumer data and public records search service that allows users to look up people, phone numbers, addresses, and related background information primarily within the United States. Through its website, users can purchase reports that may include contact details, address history, possible relatives and associates, and other data compiled from public and commercially available records. Intelius typically operates on a combination of single-report purchases and subscription-based access to its search tools.

A charge from Intelius on your card statement usually indicates that you (or someone with access to your card) purchased a people-search report, reverse phone lookup, or signed up for an ongoing subscription or trial that converted into a paid membership. Many customers first encounter Intelius when trying to identify an unknown phone number, verify someone’s identity, or research a potential tenant, online contact, or business associate. Some plans renew monthly until canceled, so you may see recurring charges if a subscription is active.

If you don’t recognize the charge, start by checking your email for any receipts or account confirmation messages from Intelius and logging into your account at their website to review your order history and subscription status. You can manage or cancel subscriptions through your account settings or by contacting their customer support via the help section on their site. If you cannot locate an account but see a charge, gather the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of the card, then contact Intelius support to look up the transaction. For suspected unauthorized use, also contact your card issuer to dispute the charge and secure your account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a recurring monthly charge from Intelius on my card?

Intelius offers subscription plans that provide ongoing access to people-search and related tools. If you signed up for a trial or membership, it may automatically renew each billing period until you cancel. Log into your account at intelius.com and check your subscription or billing section to see active plans and renewal dates.

How do I cancel my Intelius subscription to stop future charges?

To cancel, sign in at intelius.com, go to your Account or Membership/Subscription section, and follow the prompts to cancel your plan. You can also reach out to Intelius customer support through their help/contact page if you have trouble accessing your account. After cancellation, you should receive confirmation by email.

I don’t recognize this Intelius charge—how can I verify what it’s for?

First, search your email inbox (including spam folders) for messages from Intelius that might reference an order, receipt, or subscription. If you can’t find anything but still see a charge, contact Intelius support with the transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can look up the associated account or order.

Does Intelius offer one-time reports, or is everything a subscription?

Intelius offers both one-time purchases (such as a single people-search or reverse phone lookup report) and subscription plans that allow multiple searches over a period. Your statement description may look similar for both; reviewing your account order history will show whether you bought a single report or enrolled in a recurring membership.

How can I request a refund from Intelius if I was charged after a trial or by mistake?

Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. If you believe you were charged in error or did not intend to continue after a trial, contact Intelius customer support as soon as possible through the support options on intelius.com. Provide details of the charge and any related account email; they can review eligibility for a partial or full refund.

Why is there a small initial or pending Intelius charge that later disappears?

Intelius may place a temporary authorization hold on your card when you sign up or start a trial to verify the payment method. This hold may appear as a small pending charge and should automatically fall off your account within a few days without posting as a final charge.

How can I see exactly what I purchased from Intelius for a given charge?

Log into your Intelius account and navigate to your Order History or Billing section, where you can see past searches, purchased reports, and subscription renewals tied to your account. Each order entry should list the type of report or plan, the date, and the billed amount corresponding to what appears on your statement.

Can I change or downgrade my Intelius plan to a cheaper option instead of canceling?

In many cases you can modify your membership by visiting the account or subscription settings on intelius.com and selecting a different plan if available. If you don’t see downgrade options, contact Intelius customer support and ask whether they can adjust your plan or switch you to a lower-cost or pay-per-report option.
