Should be in Prison
How have the owners of this so called business not been arrested and charged with fraud. Blatantly stealing people's money. I paid £5.95 for a vehicle check which was all but useless. The following day they tried taking £39 out of my account. Nationwide fraud team spotted it luckily. What are the Police doing about this?

Same as everyone else
Same as everyone else. just kept taking the money I didnt even notice as I dont even remember signing up to it. I'm maybe did but there is zero correspondence just three months of payments gone out.
So angry at myself and at a business that has obviously designed a system to benefit it's self.
(Edit). I do not have any emails about signing up to this service, I obviously did, but there are no emails so it was actually difficult to find it was my error initially. I know this will be down to my spam folder been cleared out regularly...and the cynic in me would say it is beneficial for the domain to get low quality score so that emails go to spam and you forget all about it. Of course I am sure it wasn't designed that way but if you wanted to build a money printing machine for not doing anything. That would be the way.

Why oh why did I not read the reviews
Why oh why did I not read the reviews! It all looked good and I got the report I wanted. So all good?
No as there was no email or message concerning being signed up to a subscription - trial or otherwise.
So it was not until I looked at my bank statement did I find that there is also about a £40 payment.
Cancelled it straight away - the termination details are on their web site. Also notified my bank to stop any further payments as I just don't trust that further payments will not to taken.
Simply best read reviews (lesson learned!) and to avoid them.

Hello Joe,
We’re sorry to read your feedback and understand your frustration regarding the subscription.
For car-checking.com, the service is first accessed through a trial offer presented during checkout, which can convert into a subscription only if it is not cancelled within the indicated timeframe. We never intend for this to feel misleading, and we fully respect customers’ rights — including the 14-day cooling-off period.
If your request was already sent, please contact us directly so we can manually review it. When the cooling-off period conditions are met, our support team can process the cancellation and examine the refund request rather than simply closing the account.
Our goal is to resolve situations fairly, and we would appreciate the opportunity to correct this for you.

This is one of the doggiest website I seen out there dont know how they allow it to exist, its 100% fraud, they just charge you 40£ with no such thing showing in your invoice when you pay for the car check. Don't worry I will be contesting the transaction though 😉
Edit:
No thanks I want absolutely nothing to do with you, you are scamers, not a legitimate company trying to provide a service, in no way shape or form what you are doing is ethical allowed by law, I honestly don't know how no authority has investigated you so far, probably because you are registered in Ireland, cant imagine they care to much over there.
But thanks for ruining the confidence of consumers for paying for things online, when they pay 5£ for a service then get charged 40£ after 48h because there was no way for the customer to cancel the subscription which was not even showen in the checkout basket. Very well done, hope youre happy with yourselfs.

The £5.95 advertised is a trap. No one should get into this unless you're fully aware of what you're doing. I am currently fighting to get my £39.90 which they imposed later on, and they're resisting. Have just contacted my bank.

Used them to do an HPI vehicle check, they take your card details but fail to tell you that you are signing up to a monthly direct debit.

1 star – Misleading checkout, unwanted subscription, and dismissive support
I only intended to purchase a single car check, but was unknowingly signed up to a subscription.
The checkout page displays “Car Report – Special Offer £5.95” with an “ORDER NOW” button. There is no clear or prominent notice at the point of payment that this would automatically start a recurring subscription. The subscription details are not clearly explained and are easy to miss.
After being charged, I reviewed the company’s Terms & Conditions, which state that refund requests made within 14 days should be accepted. My request is within this period, so I should be entitled to a refund under their own policy.
I contacted customer support, however the initial response I received was dismissive in tone, simply stating that the terms were “clearly stated” and refusing a refund, despite many other customers reporting the same issue and some confirming they were refunded.
I am currently waiting for a further response.
This experience has caused unnecessary stress and feels like a deliberate dark-pattern checkout design rather than transparent pricing.
I would strongly advise others to proceed with caution and use a more reputable and transparent car-check provider.
