I need access to my account. Site says I don't have one.

Can I access my account says I don't have an email associated with this account but it's the only email I ever signed up with. How stupid are they that they can't even run their own site correctly and if they are the ripping people off. White pages is associated with beenverified, truthfinder, peoplefinder, peoplesearch, intelius, checkmate, etc.....all affiliated together. And they are billed to the same place. Called my credit card company to ask why I had so many charges for the same place. Their action was to tell me that obviously I wouldn't pay over and over for the same thing with the same prices would you. I told them hell no I wouldn't. And they subsequently took off all the charges and reissued me a car but the White pages even though it's outdated information I still need some information off of it for a thief executor stealing from my children and wife after my wife's father passed and I still need it when I go to sign up for premium it says I already have premium but yet I can't ask this premium it says I don't have an email associated with the premium section how is it possible that it tells me on one side that I have an account already on the premium but then go to sign in and it says no email associated with that email something is awfully fishy or should I say " PHISHY!". I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THIS YEAR BUT COUPLE YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS USING THEM THEY HAD THE BETTER INFORMATION LIKE INTELIUS DID BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OVER THE TOP INFORMATION ABOVE THE OTHER SITES SO HOW WOULD YOU PROPOSE ACCESSING AN ACCOUNT I ALREADY HAVE YET I AM TOLD I DON'T HAVE ONE WITH THIS EMAIL!!!!

liars and cheats

liars and cheats. not connected with Telstra anymore. Some American company. But still bill through Telstra. Trying to cancel and they say you can't because it has already been set for the year. Say that you are contracted to them but we signed up with Telstra not this new company. How is that legal? They don't even check in with people to make sure details are correct and current. They have been using outdated information for ages. Completely untrustworthy. And in this day and age who still uses white pages? Absolute waste of space.

WHITEPAGES.com is a 'BLACKMARKET' Organization!!!

WhitePages.com is a Criminal Operation that needs to be shutdown ASAP! This Bogus 'entity' is nothing more than group of Master-Scammers who will Fleece unsuspecting individuals over and over Again!

Even after receiving reimbursement following a successful cancellation via email *(It took FOREVER!), they'll continue billing that account, or even some-how, others, for which I have NO CLUE as to how they obtained the needed information in order to gain access.

Ultimately, the only remedy available, in order to avoid these ongoing BOGUS charges, is to close that, and every affiliated account that they may have gained access to, and have new cards issued! So far now, this has happened with a total of 3 of my accounts!!!

Won’t remove personal information

Won’t remove personal information. Says to contact customer support, but they never respond. Been trying for months and they never respond. Have privacy issues and want it deleted. They never respond. Bad company.

Ca·ve·at emp·tor - "Let the buyer beware."

For the $10.79 I got the basic information that I could have found for free online had I wanted to spend the time doing so. My problem is that I do not trust them after the purchase. First, I looked in my email and found that they had turned on a feature that I had intentionally turned off from my account page, and secondly there is no easy way to delete your account. I am extremely happy that I used PayPal to pay for the transaction rather than a bank debit card. I would appreciate it if Whitepages provided instructions on deleting an account.

Basic, $30/year, nothing more than you can get for free on web in a few minutes

Basic, $30/year, nothing more than you can get for free on web in a few minutes
UPDATE
As I have paid for it, I have used it for quick lookup of current addresses I would not otherwise have researched, and reverse phone lookup. For this convenience it is probably worth the $30. I had hoped for more, but obviously the market determines the price. I don't think I would pay for a report today which did not contain at lease some Social Networking App research.

This is a dishonest site

This is a dishonest site. You get sucked into paying for a Premium Membership, then if you want to see any frigging details it's another $20 per hit.

Fraud!!!!!!

Mis"leaders"..... This is how they work...

I can't attach some screenshots I took for you guys to look at what they are doing, saying first to check the data of any number, and when you fetch it, they show even nothing and ask for premier package... WOW loooters, first at least let the people know what you're going to show before paying you, give them at least a hint of name or some clue. Poor team and poor service, Not recommended, don't waste your time, laptop battery, your energy, and clicks in this fake puzzle.

Posts “public record” info...

Posts “public record” info...

This is how you remove it...

Locate everything whitepages has listed for you (correct/incorrect) - use truepeoplesearch as a reference of what to search. Be sure to print your truepeoplesearch report before requesting removal!

Locate listing (not premium) and click “get details” - note aka’s/address(es)/phone number(s) listed. You will need to search these when removal is complete. I also make note of relatives/associates listed (copy/save their URL’s for future reference).

Copy listing URL, scroll to bottom of webpage - select help, select “how do I edit remove personal listing” OR “business listing”, select opt out site, paste URL, next, remove, answer question (incorrect info). In the leave a comment section - I copy paste the info I am requesting to remove - this info is printed in their reply message and I use it as reference of what I requested removal of.

When removal is complete - verify that your premium listing has been removed, wait a month to see if any aka’s appeared, search phone/address and request removal of these items.

Just keep requesting removal until ALL your info has been removed! Time consuming but worth it!

Don't know why or how they listed me…

Don't know why or how they listed me and got confused with my sister and yet mixed up our locations and now we have people calling and texting us about real estate. What the hell? Tried to remove our names became a problem because of automated systems, etc. Not ideal to have random people texting you. Not cool!

WHEN YOU BUY A TRIAL MEMBERSHIP, YOU CREATE A PERMANENT ACCOUNT WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD STORED, AND YOU CAN'T EVER GET THEM TO DELETE IT.

Issues: 1. Poor customer service. 2. I doubt the info is complete. I suspected this guy had a history, but I'd rather not trust 9+year-old info, nothing more recent. Maybe he went from trouble to perfect after a 10+year history of fi annual and legal trouble... But I doubt the completeness because he had about 10 addresses in 5 years, many problems--- and then he's supposedly stayed at one address since 2010 and had zero problems since 2011. I'd like to help this guy out but can't trust without knowing if they searched or had access to recent records. White pages keeps your credit card info stored and you can't have an account without a card on file. I've never had a subscription, just a free trial and then I opted out. Then I went back to purchase a background check, and found I'm logged in to an account, I didn't even realize I had, with my card on file. Their policy is to keep your card and account info stored INDEFINITELY. You can't opt out by purchasing as a guest, and later YOU CAN'T REMOVE THE CARD, EVEN if you DONT HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION OR OWE THEM ANYTHING. The MOST irritating thing is, YOU CANT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT EITHER. You can inactivated the account, but your info is stored, and then if you ever want to use their service again, you van't use the same email address, without having them out in a request to their technical team. It's all ridiculous, but why should I be surprised? Their whole business is about storing personal info. It's legal. But you should be able to opt out. Reviews say they aren't the most complete or accurate service. I deactivated my account, and will go elsewhere in the future. But who knows if these companies are all the same? BTW, to get their contact info,I had to a third party site that specializes in helping people delete accounts. The site's "Contact Us" link is only a page of FAQ with no contact available. I guess they don't want to hear from people who don't like their inaccurate (or bad-accurate) personal info that is made readily available for purchase on their site. So it is what it is...

Whitepages holds you hostage by not deleting an account or removing personal information such as card info

I wantedw to use this website for one time use and it said I can pay $ 1 for a free trial. I decided against better judgement to give it a try. It was not much helpful in me finding if the number that someone has been calling me from is valid. What made the situation worse however is finding out that my card information and the account will forever be on white pages. I will not be using this account again why are you forcing people to keep an account on your site? Even if you disable it, no one wants their credit card information just sitting on an account you are not going to use again. If you are a good hacker you caN easily get that information because its just sitting there. This site is not safe to use in my opinion. Disabling will do nothing if you can reactivate and still come back to all your STORED personal information.

Another Money-Hungry Website

Most every website on the Internet nowadays, which provides you normally free information, always has a Premium option. I am so sick of Premium. Whitepages.com is no different. Money-hungry, greedy with a poorly designed site.

They Posted Untrue, Illegal, Untruthful Information About Me Which Eventually Got Removed After I Complained About It!

I was Very Curious to see what has been written up about Me And My Cellular Phone Number Of (323) 514-2779 that I have owned for the Past 10 Years and sadly WhitePages.com is the ONLY one that has Illegally and Frivolously Published Derogatory, Wrong, Non-Factual and Untrue Information about ME and my Character whereby In The Court Of Law Is Recognized as Defamation Of Character.

I was More Than Shocked To Learn About All Of The Untruths That WhitePages.com Had Illegally Published About Me based upon Strangers Who Do Not Even Know Me and furthermore, WhitePages.com Never Even Bothered To Dig Into The Actual And Real Facts About ME.

Here Are The Disgusting Untruths About Me That WhitePages.com Has Published And Failed To Research For Your Reference And Further Review:

Recent Comments Nuisance7/1/2016 3235142779 This cell phone number is owned by Howard Paul Shore (b. Feb 13, 1970) aka PAULO or Paul Luciano, a male prostitute from Toronto (North York, Earl Bales Park, Bathurst and Sheppard area), now living in California (Culver City). A simple GOOGLE search of this phone number will also expose all sorts of lies, as he claims to be far younger than he is (often advertising on craigslist looking for sex), and often claiming to be Brazilian or Italian. Numerous ads with this phone number litter the internet mostly related to hourly rates for massage therapy, others related to renting out rooms in his California 'hostel'.(Howard's Hostel/Hotel 2535 Hauser Blvd., Los Angeles) Anonymous8/13/2015 stay away from this evil guy, he drugged my friend ans stole his money and f.ucked up his car..he is dangerous Thom Jones9/5/2014 Rude and crude, will cuss you and employees out if they don't give out a email address. A real piece of work here Numbers similar to +1 323-514-2779

WhitePages.com has allowed their website to publish different names about me such as Paulo and Paul Luciano when my name is Howard Paul Shore.

WhitePages.com called me a male prostitute.

WhitePages.com claimed I am Brasilian or Italian.

WhitePages.com claimed that I drugged somebody and stole their money and ruined their car.

Etc., Etc.

WhitePages.com Is A Very Disgusting Company Who Is In The Business Of Publishing Anything Written About Anyone Whether It Is True Or False And Without Any Legal Proof And/Or Evidence for the sake and sole purpose of Ruining Other Innocent Person's Reputation.

In This Case, WhitePages.com Really Screwed With The Wrong American Legal Binding Citizen.

No Wonder WhitePages.com Got So Many Negative Reviews Published About Themselves Online As Stated In The Following Url Address:

https://www . google. com. ar/search?q=1301+Fifth+Ave%2C+Suite+1600%2C+Seattle%2C+WA&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS706US706&oq=1301+Fifth+Ave%2C+Suite+1600%2C+Seattle%2C+WA&aqs=chrome..69i57.909j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

In My Very Serious Complaint Letter To WhitePages.com, I told them the following:

If You do Not Remove All Of These Lies, Garbage And Untruth from Your Website Immediately, I Will Personally Do The Following:

1) I Will File A Police Report For All Of The False Allegations And Crimes That You Falsely Stated That I Committed.
2) I Will Sue You In Small Claims Court For Defamation Of Character And Subpoena The Los Angeles Police Department To Bring In A Copy Of My Criminal Records Stating The Garbage And/Or Untruths That You False Allege Since You Claim To Know More About Me Than I Do.
3) I Will Publish Negative, Public Reviews About Your Company, Including Displaying The False Information That I Have Enclosed In The Attachments On To The Following Social Media Websites, Including Mentioning All Of Your Corporate Executives Who Are Involved With This Illegal Process Of Publishing False And/Or Frivolous Information.

The Social Media Websites That I Work With Closely For Publishing Your Negative Reviews Are Of The Following:
1) RipOffReport.com
2) PissedConsumer.com
3) ConsumerAffairs.com
4) Facebook.com
5) YellowPages.com
6) Google.com
7) Better Business Bureau

I should Not even have to write You this Very, Very Serious Letter Of Complaint, but You know that if You Did This To A Celebrity and/or Major Corporate Executive, You Would Be Sued Immediately Without Receiving A Letter Such As Mine.

How Bloody Dare You Publish Fake Information Without Doing The Research First?

Shame On You.

Enclosed, in the attachments, please find one page from your company stating that my Cellular Phone Number of: 323-514-2779 Is In Good Standing, however, the other picture shows that it is Not, Obviously For The Reasons Stated Above in my Very, Very Serious Letter Of Complaint.

Please Note: After I emailed a copy of my Very Serious Complaint Letter To All Of Their WhitePages.com Corporate Executives, Then They Finally Decided To Remove The Illegal Untruths And Allegations.

Final Thoughts: Do Not Do Any Kind Of Business With WhitePages.com

Amen.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Howard Paul Shore
Executive Writer For Social Media And Damn Proud Of It
Not A Customer Of WhitePages.com
