Intelius

A long-established people-search and background-report brand under PeopleConnect, drawing on the same shared database as TruthFinder.

What they have
  • Contact and address history
  • Relatives and associates
  • Criminal records
  • Property records
  • Employment and education indicators
Who they sell to
  • Subscribers via per-report and monthly plans

How to make them delete it

They demand · Email confirmation through the PeopleConnect suppression center
Turnaround · Up to 72 hours
  1. Use the PeopleConnect suppression center, which handles Intelius requests
  2. Verify by email and confirm suppression
  3. Coverage extends to TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and US Search automatically
  4. Recheck after quarterly refreshes
The catch — why this won't stick

Same shared-database problem as every PeopleConnect brand. Suppression is a flag on a record, and refreshed records arrive without the flag.
