Review from Karen L

I would give a negative star rating if possible! I received a document via mail from this company with my address and someone else's name. This document stated that my property had a recent deed transfer. They listed 2 separate unknown individuals as the owners. This was very concerning. So much so that I felt the need to miss work so I could visit the county courthouse. This document is very misleading and attempts to represent and impersonate themselves as being affiliated with the county records office. There is a small disclaimer on the letter. However, listing inaccurate owner information is alarming and most likely intentional to prompt the recipient to order a copy of their deed through them for $98.00. Deceiving and bad business practices! I will be filing a complaint with the Florida Attorney Generals Office.County Records Office, LLC Response

We do not work for the courthouse or any government agency as stated on our envelope. The information provided comes directly from the courthouse as I'm sure you realized when you went to the courthouse. It is generated threw the public records database. You could have saved yourself a trip by calling your local property appraiser's department. Hopefully you were able to clear your deed title. Without our letter you may have, not ever known if their was a discrepancy. Our letters have a wealth of valuable information, collected from multiple recourses. Hope you were able to get everything straighten out.

I received the same notice for the second time within a month. When you first look at it it looks like a official legal document. I did notice the disclaimer in the upper left-hand corner. My issue is they need to revamp this form because it is very misleading to the public. This document gives a false representation of who they are despite the disclaimer. I would inform people to please look at the document carefully and fact check on the internet. If you're not sure you can also contact the ***************** in your county and they should be able to help clarify the document that was mailed to you. This company should be rated an * * * **County Records Office, LLC Response

I am in my mid 80's...This "letter" made me very angry!! I can still see the scam, but many others cannot. The choice of the "business" name is on the edge of being illegal. It proports that it is something that it is not. Help is available for people who are not mobile, help that does not cost $100.00. Shameful!!!County Records Office, LLC Response

Our company has performed legal document retrieval for over thirty years. The copies we obtain are from the Official Records Department at the clerk of the circuit court.
We are a legitimate company that saves homeowners the frustration of going to the courthouse to obtain a copy of their deed. Please do not confuse us with other corporations that do not fulfill the request for your deed copy and property information.
We also provide a property profile. Our information is obtained through county official records, state departments and other organizations. Our property profile includes the legal description, parcel identification number, property history, assessment and other pertinent information.
These documents provide homeowners with information about their land, the building and other aspects of the property. This can prove useful when determining the value of a property, property ownership, and other details regarding your property. ************ are voluntary as stated in bold in our letter, also our envelope states in bold: WE ARE NOT A GOVERNMENT AGENCY. So sorry for any confusion this may have caused you concern.

Yeah, I hear you! You agree you are preying on stupid people, and providing information that is only potentially useful, as it can be obtained for free elsewhere. You should sell your mailing list of stupid people to others so they can prey on them also.Sorry, meant to say 'UNEDUCATED' instead of 'STUPID'.Glad that at least the BBB information that I am providing herein is ACTUALLY USEFUL, versus yours which isn't.Review from Mark M

I would call the letter I received Elder financial abuse. Starting with the name of the company, the look of the packaging, the layout of the letter, the self addressed return envelope, the response date, including "Make checks payable to: County Records office", all deceptively appear to be an official bill notification from a legitimate government agency. As a senior citizen, with most of my faculties, I am keenly aware of this type of deceptive advertising and see how this could easily been mistaken and paid in error by older people. My opinion is that this company should be shut down immediately and the operators Jailed.

You are providing false information. We have been in business over 25 years and never claim to be with the government agency. Quite the opposite if you read our disclaimer in giant print. Many our gratefully for the information we provide even if they never use our services. This is a public platform and the LLC shows we are a business, not a government agency. So sorry you misunderstood our letter. That is why we have a email address for those with questions or concerns before bothering the BBB. As we try and help all that inquire. Have a great weekend.Customer Response

Disgusting. Charging $98 for somthing you can obtain online for free. The document they mail you look truly deceptive as if it is official correspondence. “wE aRe NoT a GoVErnMeNt aGenCY” is such a foul excuse. Most cognitive people can tell this is a scam upon close evaluation, but they prey upon those who are less capable to send them hard earned money. 1. Your disclosure is weak 2. It is clearly not a value to ‘save somone a trip to the county clerks office’ for $98. I will warn my neighbors of this and online community. I’m looking forward to what this LLC really has to say.County Records Office, LLC Response

This is a scam company that is trying to trick you into paying them to get a copy of your property deed if you own a home. ALL DEEDS are available online in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee and other counties. You can get a certified copy if required by requesting such with the local county clerk's office and it will not cost you $98. I have several of these letters and just received one today except this property closed over two years ago and is not a "recent deed transfer" as their letter would like to claim. As part of my due diligence with clients I always advise them that anyone telling them they need to pay to get a copy of their deed is a scam. Given the fraudulent nature of this company's actions I wonder if criminal charges can be filed.County Records Office, LLC Response

I responded to your questions and concerns as stated in the letter below. Which you did not respond to. We provide a service and you are under no obligation to purchase this deed if you choose not to.
Stephen,
We do not work for the courthouse and provide a document retrieval service for over 30 years, now for homeowners. Working for Banks and Title Companies. Anyone can get their own deed if they like. We make sure we have in bold 30 font print this is a solicitation and, on our envelopes, we have in bold print. We are not a government agency. We comply with all postal regulations. So sorry for any confusion this letter may have caused, glad our letter assisted many in getting your own deed. We provide the recording information as well as much more. We are aware of the bad BBB report. People do not report the good, only the bad or in our case they report us just receiving our letter. We provide an email address for anyone with questions or concerns. We have helped hundreds of people with fraud, typos and wrong addresses. Our letters are a wealth of information. The documents from the internet are not the same as the ones from the courthouse as I'm sure you are aware of. Anyone can get their own deed if they like. We are providing a service and no one is obligated to purchase our deeds unless they would like to. Many homeowners are unaware of these deeds being recorded. We answer all emails, unlike other companies or copy cats.
PS: Thank you so much for service in the Army.Customer Response

This is a typical response of an organization that is treading a tight rope between legality and fraud. The company's name is County Records Office LLC but what you see on the letter is just County Records Office. Your actions prey on those that don't understand how deeds work in order to make them believe that they need a third party to execute the attainment of their property deeds. Did not respond? As a realtor, business owner and real estate investor I have a lot going on, so here is your response. You did not respond to the emails I sent you telling you to cease and desist. Additionally, the letter received was blatant fraud as the property in question changed ownership over two years ago and the person you had listed as the property owner was, but is no longer, the trustee as the property was placed in a trust. Your actions are unethical and border criminal but you protect yourself through disclosures that are in small print. "People do not report the good." There again is a blatant lie. Pull up a good company with an A+ rating and you will see either NO bad reviews or a lot of good reviews and maybe a few bad reviews. You only get bad reviews because you are scammers and nothing more than that. Nice try but anyone that understands the words integrity and ethics knows that your company will never be positively associated with those words.Review from Mark M

The deeds are not the same as from the courthouse. Ours have no watermarks or headers or footers. Most people send letters of Thanks. Please disregard our letter. No one is under any obligation to purchase a deed from us as stated in our letter.
