Hi Debbie,
We are sincerely sorry and deeply regret the frustration this has caused you and your husband. This experience is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we take your claim of a promised but missing refund very seriously. Transparency and trust are our priorities, and we want to rectify this immediately.
The initial charge of £5.94 covers a vehicle history report and a 72-hour trial period to our premium tools. If you were told the subscription was cancelled in January, the March charge should never have occurred. This may be due to a technical synchronization error between the account and our billing system, and we sincerely apologize for this oversight.
There is no need for further concern or reporting: we are fully committed to resolving this manually and fairly today. If you contact our support team, we will:
Immediate Double Refund: We will process a full refund for both the January and March charges (totaling £78) to compensate for this error.
Permanent Manual Cancellation: We will manually verify that the subscription is completely purged from our system so no further charges can ever occur.
Direct Email Confirmation: We will send you a formal confirmation of both refunds for your records.
Please reach out to us directly so we can identify the specific transaction under your name and settle this on the spot:
📧 By email: contact@car-checking.com (Please mark as "URGENT - Debbie White")
📞 By phone: +44 20 4579 8987 (Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.)
We hope that our immediate accountability and our commitment to returning your funds will encourage you to reconsider your rating once we have resolved this together.
Best regards,

SCAM - AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Bought a check for a car I was looking at, for £5.95. Checked my bank account 2 days later and can see a pending payment for £39.99. I did not sign up to anything and there is nothing in their email confirming a subscription or any further charges. I also have no way of cancelling this 'agreement' because they have not given a any information.
Disgusting fraud of a company. I have emailed them demanding my money back and I will be reporting to my bank as a fraudulent payment.

Hi Sonia,
We are sincerely sorry for the frustration and concern this situation has caused you. We want to be absolutely clear: car-checking.com is a legitimate service dedicated to transparency, and we never want a customer to feel misled.
The charge of £39.99 corresponds to our membership, which begins after an initial 72-hour trial period. This trial is designed to provide ongoing access to our vehicle monitoring and valuation tools. We strive to make these terms visible during the check-out process, but we understand if this was not your expectation for a one-time report.
There is no need to involve your bank or wait for a complex process: we are fully prepared to resolve this for you manually and immediately. If you have already emailed us, we are likely processing your request, but please allow us to provide you with the direct means to settle this today:
Immediate Cancellation: We will terminate any active subscription right now so no further charges ever occur.
Full Refund of £39.99: Since you did not intend to sign up for an ongoing service, we are more than happy to refund this charge to your account as a gesture of good faith.
Direct Confirmation: We will send you a confirmation email of the refund and cancellation for your records.
Please reach out to us directly via phone or email so we can verify your account and process the refund on the spot:

Hi Mikolaj,
We are sincerely sorry to hear about your frustration regarding these charges. Transparency is a core value for car-checking.com, and we never want a customer to feel misled. We would like to provide some clarity and a direct solution to resolve this for you.
The charges of £39.90 per month follow an initial 72-hour trial period that provides full access to our premium vehicle monitoring, history updates, and valuation tools. We understand that if you only required a one-time report, a multi-month membership is not what you were looking for.
There is no need for further concern: we are committed to finding a fair and honest solution for you. If you contact our support team today, we will:
Immediately and permanently cancel your membership so no further charges ever occur.
Conduct a full review of your account history: Since you haven't utilized the service over these four months, we are prepared to discuss a significant refund of the £160 to settle this matter to your satisfaction.
Provide written confirmation once the refund and cancellation are processed.

Hello Bobby,
We are sorry to hear about your frustration and would like to provide some clarity regarding your experience. At car-checking.com, we strive for total transparency in our billing process.
Our service is based on a subscription model designed for continuous vehicle monitoring. The £5.95 payment you made was for an initial report which included a 2-day trial period to our premium platform. This trial allows users to explore all our advanced features before the full subscription begins. We provide detailed information about this on our pricing page, the checkout page, and in the confirmation email sent immediately after purchase.
We understand that these details can sometimes be overlooked. This is why we offer a 30-day Money-Back Guarantee—we have no desire to charge customers who are not fully satisfied with our service. Since you have already contacted your bank, we will cooperate fully with their process, but please know that our support team is also here to help you directly.
If you have any further questions, you can reach us at contact@car-checking.com or call us at +44 20 4579 8987 (Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.). We hope to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

Hello Marc,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad that our tools were helpful for checking several vehicles, as providing comprehensive and accurate car history is exactly what our platform is designed for.
However, we would like to clarify the point regarding your subscription. At car-checking.com, we prioritize transparency. Our 7-day trial period for a small initial fee is clearly detailed on our pricing and checkout pages, as well as in the confirmation email sent immediately after purchase. This trial is specifically designed to give users full access to our premium features before the full subscription begins.
It appears your account was terminated due to the payment being declined, which naturally ends the access to our premium data. We stand by our service and offer a 30-day Money-Back Guarantee for any user who isn't satisfied—we believe in earning our customers' trust through the quality of our reports, not through hidden fees.
If you have any further questions or would like to discuss this, our team is available Monday to Saturday (8 a.m. – 8 p.m.) at +44 20 4579 8987 or via email at contact@car-checking.com.
Best regards,

Scam. Paid £5.90 for a useful report. They tried to charge £39 2 days later
If the subscription product was a genuinely worthwhile product they would list it prominently on the pricing page, not sneak it through on your CC when you think you're buying a £5.90 report.
They're relying on the fact that you may well be buying the report in a hurry, on your phone, on a windy dealership forecourt. Shameful way to do business.
Thank goodness the card company spotted it.
Edit: contrary to CarChecking's response, the emails I received made no mention of the £39 charge coming up.

Unauthorised charges on card
Do not use this site, it’s a complete scam. Purchased what I assumed would be a single vehicle report, only to be charged 39.90 2 days later. The so called ‘free trial’ period which they state is clearly shown is the complete opposite. No confirmation email was sent regarding payment or a subscription, just an email to say the vehicle report was ready to view. What is even more frustrating is you have no means of cancelling the ‘free trial’ on their website so you have to contact them which judging by the other reviews took days for a reply and by that time they’d already taken the money.

They claim it's clearly stated on the website, but it's not hence all the complaints on just this site alone. They've told me I'm not getting it refunded saying it's my fault.

Shameful business practice
Thought I was buying a single report to help a family member buy her first car. This sham outfit then tried to take £39.90 a couple of days later.
Fortunately, the bank caught it as a suspicious payment. I haven't been charged their nonsense payment, but have had to cancel the card (at least they won't succeed in trying again next month).
It is rare that a company's practices would intense me so much as to leave a review, but this is the worst business practice I have witnessed online, so felt compelled.
As for the clarification they offer customers they have already tried to scam: when 98% of your customer reviews are happy & 2% complain, it could be argued that your disclosures are fair. When 98% of your reviews are complaints, your disclosures are the problem.

We’re very sorry to read your review, Sotiris, and we genuinely regret that you feel this way.
We want to clearly state that we are not a scam, and we do not take payments “for no reason.” When purchasing a vehicle report, customers are offered an initial low-cost access which includes a 7-day trial to our premium platform. After this trial period, the subscription continues at £39.90 per month unless cancelled. These terms are displayed on the pricing page, during checkout, and in the confirmation email sent after purchase.
Regarding the concern about being charged twice on the same day, this is not standard practice. In some cases, what appears as a second charge may actually be a pending authorisation from the bank rather than a completed transaction. However, we would need to review your specific case to provide an accurate explanation.

I like many others only wanted a one off report and paid the £5.95 for it only to be charged £39.90 two days later. I contacted customer services by email and although there is text to say about the subscription when purchasing (that i had overlooked) they agreed to cancel the subscription and gave me a refund.

Terrible service. They had a discount which paid £5.99 for only to get debited £39.99 two days later. I asked for a refund and they said no. I felt like I had been scammed. Terrible service. Avoid at all costs.

Unauthorised subscription charges - beware
I wish I could give -5.
Like others I thought I bought one report, only to find out I was unknowingly subscribed to their 'unlimited premium service'. I have disputed that and awaiting response. It does feel like been taken advantage without consent.
I hope future users see the reviews and avoid this terrible situation.

We’re very sorry to read your feedback, Maria, and we truly appreciate you sharing your concerns.
We would like to clarify that our service includes a 7-day trial period when purchasing the initial vehicle report. During this trial, customers have access to our premium platform. After the trial period, the subscription continues at £39.90 per month unless cancelled. These details are clearly presented on the pricing page, at checkout, and in the confirmation email sent after purchase.
We understand how frustrating it can feel if subscription terms were not noticed at the time of ordering. Please be assured that subscriptions are not activated without prior disclosure, and customers remain free to cancel at any time during the trial period.
As you have already raised a dispute, we would genuinely like to review your case as quickly as possible and provide a clear response. Our goal is never for anyone to feel taken advantage of, and we are committed to handling every situation fairly and transparently.
Please feel free to contact our support team directly at contact@car-checking.com
or by phone at +44 20 4579 8987 (Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.) so we can locate your account and assist you promptly.
We hope to resolve this matter to your satisfaction and, once addressed, we would truly appreciate if you would consider updating your review to reflect the outcome.
