I signed up with InstantCheckmate at about 1AM.  I agreed to two charges, $19.99 monthly fee, and $1.99 "we-want-more-$$$" fee.  As I got into the process of checking out people, I quickly learned that they have a plethora of additional up-changes.  I highly suspect that each additional "upgrade" you authorize opens other pathways to financial success for the site.  I doubt there is an end to the charges they are willing to assess.  NEVER before I gave my credit card number was I told that it would cost MUCH more to get a "complete" report.  They sucker you in with one fee, and bury you with others.  What you are left with if you do NOT pay more is an incomplete report.

By 8:30AM, I had received a call from my credit card company asking me if the THREE new charges on my credit card were fraudulent charges.  One charge was NOT approved, $13.64 had been deducted from my credit card without my knowledge or permission.  The InstantCheckmate agent I spoke with said that the $13.64 charge was just the monthly fee, regardless of what their website says.  I've seen their add all over the Internet, and it has always been $19.99 for a month.  

My credit card company had decided that the $19.99 was surely fraudulent, so they had already denied it.  They allowed the other 2 charges to go through.  

I'm going to keep checking my credit card statement online, and if another charge shows up, I'll fight it with VISA.  Their Customer Service agent wasn't capable of understanding the problem.  She just kept saying the monthly fee is $13.64.  The odd among should have tipped her off, but, as they say, "there's just no fixing stupid".

I've had enough of InstantCheckmate.  Anyone who decides to sign up after reading this can expect a long train of "upgrade" charges to show up on their credit card bill.  I have no idea how high the final per month price tag could climb, but I'm sure that more than double the original $19.99 is a very reasonable guess.
