Cannot thank Elliott enough…

Cannot thank Elliott enough as yesterday I shared the Coronation celebratikns with my estranged sister of 66 years, we were separated as young children. He found her within 48 hours and we both will be forever grateful to him.

Timewasters

Contacted insight who put me onto investigater called Elliot. He quoted price of two hundred and 50 which then changed later to 350. Sent him all the info he needed and then he never responded to me after that. Completely wasted my time here. Wouldn't recommend this company. If there was an option for a no stars rating thats what I would have given

Dear Lyn,
Thank you for your review. Having spoken to you earlier today, we asked Elliott to respond to you again, advising why we did not take on your investigation, or charge you any fee for services or consultation which, I believe he has now done. We wish you well in finding the answers you seek. Regards Beverley

Be aware of using this company

Be aware of using this company! The "head of operations" Elliott is rude and unprofessional! I received an invoice shortly after I instructed this company and when I tried to seek reassurance that the information is correct before I pay the invoice I was accused of "refusing to pay" and Elliott informed me on Saturday night by email that due to my refusal to pay "our contract is terminated". Baffled by this, I tried to talk to him on the phone this morning to resolve the issue but clearly achieving a resolution is not his forte and he was extremely passive-aggressive.

Dear EP (name withheld for client anonymity), your review is quite unjustified and does not reflect the circumstances of this case, so we must respond to this review in defence of our good name.

We have conducted enquiries on your behalf as instructed in a timely manner.

You were advised that we would operate a no fee on any element of the enquiry that was not successful, to which you agreed.

Upon completion of these enquiries we requested payment for the successful element of the enquiry, as agreed.

You then ignored our invoice, and responded by emailing an address you had, saying that “if it is this address then it’s not correct” and you declined to pay the invoice.

You were assured that the address we had located for the individual was a firm address, and not the address you were providing, however you still declined to pay our invoice for the successful element of our investigation.

It was felt that pursuing you for payment of our invoice was a waste of effort and further valuable time, as you clearly had no intention of paying and the matter was cancelled.

You have not been charged for the work completed, and have not been given your result.

We would suggest that, should you enter into a further contract, you adhere to it.

It is unfortunate that you feel we have adopted a passive aggressive attitude towards this matter, which we refute, when in reality all we have done is complete enquiries requested by you, ask for payment as agreed, and upon response to non-payment, have cancelled the investigation.

Trust Pilot reviews are always welcome, however when they are used as a tool to slander, and avoid justified payment, this must be seen as wholly unfair.

We wish you success in your pursuit of these enquires with another agency, and thank you for bringing your views to our attention, which have been fully looked into.

Many thanks Elliott and all the Insight…

Many thanks Elliott and all the Insight Team for giving me the courage to finally deal with my matrimonial issue and get to the bottom of the problem after all these years. Thankfully after using your services, I think my longstanding relationship will survive now I have been able to confront the situation. As you said to me at the beginning, things sometimes are not always what they appear and this was true in my case. We are now getting the help that we need. I can’t thank you enough - Suzzie

Sensitive welfare check.

I employed their services on a very delicate matter. I spoke with Karen, who was very informative and reassuring, let me unfold the story at my own pace, then suggested the action that the Insight agent would take.

She gave me lots of time to think it over, and told me the cost.

I was very happy when she was able to give me the results of the agent's investigation.

The whole experience was positive, supportive, well handled and efficient.

I would not hesitate to recommend Insight.

Information regarding a stolen bike

Spoke to a lovely receptionist straight away on the 1st call ,she put me through to the lady who would give me the information that I required. I was already in liaison with the police but the information I received from the lovely lady was incredibly fast and precise. My case was solved and I’d not hesitate to use this company again and again . Many thanks

Understanding

Insight are really good, but I did feel I had to chase up. However, I got what I needed and it was done in a nice manner.

Thank you for your review. Apologies if you felt you had to chase up. There are times when certain enquiries can take longer than anticipated to bring around the best result.

We are glad you received the result you were looking for.

Eternally grateful

I asked Insight for help after my elderly mother began a relationship with a man who began to limit her contact with all of our family, was spending her money and was permanently cagey to us about his own personal history.
During an extremely upsetting time, the investigators demonstrated such care and speed and within a few days, had discovered the real identity of the person, located his ‘other’ family and also found evidence that he had already targeted other vulnerable women for money and exhibited controlling behaviour over them. I can’t thank them enough for resolving this situation so quickly and sensitively for our family. It has been an extraordinary relief to us all.

Misleading company, extremely unprofessional

promise comprehensive investigations, payment upfront provided 4/5 bullets in an email after chasing for 6 months, no evidence to back anything up, on escalation customer services fail to respond or make terrible excuses. Avoid there are more reputable companies out there

Patrick, whilst we are sorry that you feel dissatisfied with our investigation and the outcome was what it was. Whilst attempting to prove your allegations we could locate nothing that confirmed them or that any laws had been broken. In doing so and at your insistence we extended the investigation somewhat and that is what took the time over and above our estimate and also the fee paid. It is our duty to report our findings as we believe them be at the time. We have attempted to resolve this matter for you, but it is our understanding that you withdrew the official complaint and instead decided to post a review. All investigations are different and some unfortunately do not bring the results desired. We have been a professional investigation company with many satisfied clients for over 30 years, and dispute your claims that we are not reputable. We wish you well for the future.

Would give 6 stars if available.

Would give 6 stars if available. We live in America and needed help on an urgent personal matter in the UK. We explored several different investigations agencies, eventually choosing Insight Investigations. Tony quickly and professionally handled the matter, providing excellent, detailed, useful results. Our family will always be grateful. Thank you.
