Broker profile
SearchPeopleFree
A free US people-search and reverse-phone-lookup site whose operating LLC is not publicly disclosed. The BBB filing names Julian Burgess as Operations Assistant, the same named principal on five other broker filings in this directory - SmartBackgroundChecks, FastBackgroundCheck, FamilyTreeNow, PeopleSearchNow, and CyberBackgroundChecks - six broker entities across six US cities. The site is a thin consumer-facing wrapper on the Enformion API, the broker-data source that also powers Whitepages Pro, so opting out here does not reach the upstream data product. No FTC or state-AG action has been confirmed against the operator or Burgess.

What each dimension means
- Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
- Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
- Complaint record: volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber; no findable review presence counts against the broker.
- Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
- Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.

Background
Background
SearchPeopleFree.com is a free US people-search and reverse-phone-lookup site. The BBB filing is registered at 1601 E 19th Ave # 4000, Denver, Colorado 80218 - the "# 4000" suffix on a residential- density address reads as a private-mailbox or coworking mail-drop rather than an operational office. The site's public "About" page identifies the brand and product surface without naming the operating LLC; the BBB filing identifies one named principal: Julian Burgess, listed as Operations Assistant.

The Julian Burgess principal is the headline finding. By our count, this is the fifth separately- branded broker BBB filing where Burgess appears as the named principal - and CyberBackgroundChecks (Chicago IL) subsequently made a confirmed sixth.
- SmartBackgroundChecks.com (Atlanta GA) - Vice President / General Manager
- FastBackgroundCheck.com (Boulder CO) - Owner / Manager
- FamilyTreeNow.com (Roseville CA) - Compliance Manager (alongside CEO Dustin Weirich)
- PeopleSearchNow.com (Sacramento CA principal + Detroit MI PMB 29296) - Company Contact (alongside CEO Robert Miller, Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC)
- SearchPeopleFree.com (Denver CO) - Operations Assistant
- CyberBackgroundChecks.com (Chicago IL PMB 29296) - Compliance Manager (PMB suffix #29296 shared with FastPeopleSearch and PeopleSearchNow)
That's six separately-branded broker entities, six different US cities (Atlanta GA / Boulder CO / Roseville CA / Sacramento CA + Detroit MI / Denver CO / Chicago IL), one named individual appearing as a principal on every filing. The FastPeopleSearch "Mr. Jillian Burgess" transcription almost certainly makes that a seventh.
The other notable corporate detail is the Enformion API partnership. Enformion is a major data-broker API provider - the same data source that powers Whitepages Pro and a number of other people-search platforms. SearchPeopleFree is a thin consumer-facing wrapper on Enformion's underlying records, which means opting out of SearchPeopleFree doesn't reach the upstream Enformion data product. The data product still exists; it just won't render in SearchPeopleFree's consumer UI.
The Burgess multi-broker pattern keeps expanding. With SearchPeopleFree confirmed as a fifth Burgess BBB filing, the pattern is now too well-documented to dismiss as coincidence - the same named individual appears as a principal-on-paper at five separately-branded broker entities in five different US cities. We still don't have formal corporate-filings evidence that ties these brokers under a parent holding company, but the named-principal pattern is consistent and verifiable through the public BBB record.
Two BBB filings to be aware of. The primary listing is Denver, CO (the Julian Burgess / (800) 958-6869 filing for SearchPeopleFree.com). A secondary Baltimore, MD BBB filing also exists; that one covers the searchpeoplefree.com domain under a different BBB profile. Both appear to track the same operator - the Denver Burgess filing is the more substantive one.

Data sources (Enformion-powered): SearchPeopleFree.com itself functions as a consumer-facing wrapper on Enformion's broker-data API. The underlying records come from US public records (voter rolls, property assessor data, court filings), commercial data aggregators, and indexed online sources - the same pool that powers Whitepages Pro and other Enformion-licensed products. Records aren't verified against the actual subject and may be stale, mismatched, or attributed to the wrong person.
Opt-out scope limitation: opting out of SearchPeopleFree removes your record from the consumer- facing site, but the underlying Enformion data product may still expose your information through other Enformion-licensed customers (Whitepages Pro, enterprise data buyers, etc.). The opt-out is brand- specific, not source-specific.

Network
Sister brands
SearchPeopleFree sits at the intersection of two documented broker-network patterns, namely the Julian Burgess named-principal cross-broker pattern, and the Enformion data-API supply chain.
Julian Burgess named-principal cross-broker entities:
Enformion data-API supply chain:
Two-pattern intersection. SearchPeopleFree is the fifth Burgess-principal BBB filing AND a known Enformion-API consumer. Whether the Burgess pattern reflects formal cross-company ownership or just a single individual moonlighting as named-principal-of-record across multiple brokers is the open question - we don't have corporate-filings evidence to resolve it. The Enformion partnership is separately documented and explains how the underlying data product gets to SearchPeopleFree's consumer-facing site.
Related broker network: Julian Burgess multi-broker network
SearchPeopleFree is one of several brands all named Julian Burgess as a principal (Compliance Manager, General Manager, Operations Assistant) on their respective BBB filings, in different US cities. Separately, SearchPeopleFree is one of the ten domains on Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC's California filing, whose opt-out the operator says applies across all ten for the sale of personal information. We have not verified that a removal here reaches any of them, and the Burgess-named brands are not the same set as the ten - so run each brand's own opt-out below and re-check.
Reputation
Trust signals
SearchPeopleFree's Trustpilot 3.2 / 5 is actually higher than most consumer-search brokers in this directory - the consumer-facing UI is reasonably polished and the search-then-view-record flow is faster than the Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC pattern. The BBB signal is the more relevant trust indicator for the underlying privacy posture; Sitejabber doesn't have a separate profile.

FAQ
Q & A
Is SearchPeopleFree a data broker?
Yes. SearchPeopleFree is a free US people-search and reverse-phone-lookup site BBB-listed at a Denver, Colorado private mailbox (1601 E 19th Ave # 4000). The site is a consumer-facing wrapper on Enformion's broker-data API, which also powers Whitepages Pro and other people-search platforms.
Who owns SearchPeopleFree?
The operating LLC name is not publicly disclosed. The BBB filing names Julian Burgess as Operations Assistant - the same Julian Burgess named on five other broker BBB filings (SmartBackgroundChecks, FastBackgroundCheck, FamilyTreeNow, PeopleSearchNow, and CyberBackgroundChecks). Data is sourced via an Enformion API partnership, with a secondary BBB filing in Baltimore, MD also on record for the same domain.
What information does SearchPeopleFree publish?
SearchPeopleFree publishes full names with aliases, maiden names and nicknames, current and previous home addresses (often back 20+ years), landline and mobile phone numbers with carrier identification, email addresses, approximate age and date of birth, likely relatives and associates, property and address-history records, reverse-lookup data, and outbound links to paid background-check upsells.
Can I remove myself from SearchPeopleFree?
Yes. SearchPeopleFree offers an opt-out at searchpeoplefree.com/opt-out as a 5-step email-verified flow with a 72-hour processing window committed on the site. Note that opting out only removes your record from the consumer-facing site; the underlying Enformion data product may still expose information through other Enformion-licensed customers like Whitepages Pro. See our SearchPeopleFree removal guide for step-by-step instructions.
How long does SearchPeopleFree take to remove information?
SearchPeopleFree commits to a 72-hour processing window per its own opt-out page. BBB complaints describe records reappearing as Enformion re-supplies the data, so even after the 72-hour window the record may resurface unless the upstream Enformion data product is also suppressed.
Is SearchPeopleFree covered by FCRA?
No. SearchPeopleFree is not a Consumer Reporting Agency under the FCRA. It is a free people-search aggregator and its data is not FCRA-compliant for employment, tenant, credit, or insurance decisions. No FTC enforcement, state-AG consent decree, CPPA Delete Act settlement, or class action has been confirmed against the company or Julian Burgess.
