Scammers. I paid for one car check 6 quid and was below standard didnt tell me nothing useful. Then attempted to keep charging me 40 quid. Waste of time and money. BE AWARE. I am worried they got me bank details.

I wish I could give it 0 !
I wish I could give it 0 !
I paid for a £6.95 check and found out I also subscribed to a 39.90 a month service.
The £6.95 comes across as a singular check but in the fine print, it is for 5 checks in 48 hrs, which is followed by a £39.90 fee as a monthly subscription.
On their website they have pricing table. The £6.95 option has the £39.90 is mentioned in the 7th line of the table making it more easily brushed over. Not only does it sit on line 7 out of 8 - it is also in very very small font size.
How can any service have a subscription that's almost 6 times the value of 1st payment and not mention it in line 1 of the pricing table?
Why is the table in much smaller font to the rest of the website?
The fine print, the font size and the page layout of the pricing table makes me feel like this was intentional.
They have a 14 day cooling off period and i have tried to get a refund - they mentioned someone will contact me in 3 days.
Will update once I hear back with how it was dealt with.

Hello Lewis,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We completely understand your frustration and take your concerns very seriously. 😔
We want to clarify that our £6.95 check is indeed a way to let users try our service with multiple checks in 48 hours, and a subscription option follows after the trial. We do strive to display this information in our pricing table, but we understand how the font size and placement could make it easy to miss, and we’re sorry this caused confusion.

I was another user of this company's…Scam company that uses a loss leader to suck you in and then charge you more later
I was another user of this company's low cost HPI check service that found I had 'auto enrolled' onto a £39.90 per month subscription that I have no use for and no knowledge of until the first payment was taken. I complained and asked for a refund, which they originally denied saying their conditions were clearly stated on their website. I said that I don't agree, and that I have 14 day 'cool down' statutory rights due to distance selling. They agreed to refund the money immediately.

I totally agree with all the reviews relating to SCAM from this car-checking company.
I also used this service in good faith suggesting a check on vehicles for £5.95 as a reduced price for that day only.
There was no clear indication at the time of £5.95 purchase that they would then take another £39.90 EACH MONTH..WHAT...
I also contacted them by email - asking them (giving them a opportunity) to refund the £39.90 but they do not have the curtsey of replying. Looking at other reviews I have decided to contact my bank and have changed my card details to make sure they cannot keep taking payment each month.
The bank I am with has asked me to put in a complaint with them and they will investigate
Scammer company - don’t use.

The check is basic. And then as everyone else has seen you get charged for a subscription. This is not clear. At all. During the process if you checkout with card.

Good reports but watch the costs…
Tread carefully if you’re just checking a single vehicle - reports are comprehensive but they can work out very expensive if you’re not on the ball.
Offers a single vehicle check at £5.95 but in the small print this is a 48 hour subscription only and they will take £39.90 a few days later unless you spot it, log in and cancel the thing straight away.
Quite easy to miss this bit and if you don’t cancel within the 48 hours you will be charged another £39.90 and then the same again each month until cancelled…
Sadly this was my experience although after several emails and follow up to cancel things the company did eventually refund £39.90.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to read how disappointed and frustrated you feel, and we do understand why this situation has led to such a strong reaction.
We’d like to clarify that the £5.95 offer provides access to a full vehicle report and a 48-hour trial period, during which customers can freely explore the service and decide whether it meets their needs before any ongoing subscription. Information about this trial and the continuation price is displayed on the payment page and within the terms, but we fully acknowledge that this may not have been as visible or clear as it should have been for you.
That said, our intention is absolutely not to mislead or “trap” users. Many customers do use the trial period successfully and cancel if the service is not right for them. We regret that this was not your experience and that our explanations did not meet your expectations.
We would really appreciate the opportunity to review your case again, clarify any misunderstandings, and see what can be done to resolve this more positively. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve how we present our pricing and trial information.

I wish I'd checked here first because they tried to scam me out of £39.90 too. Fortunately my bank was on the ball enough to check with me first so I'm not out of pocket.

EDIT: Their response to me is identical to most of their others. Quite what they'd hope to achieve by my contacting them is a mystery.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your confusion and we’re sorry if the process wasn’t clear enough at first.
To clarify: leaving a review is never a condition to access your vehicle history report. Once the payment is completed, the report is generated automatically and remains fully accessible. In some cases, a review request may appear as an optional step, but it does not block or replace access to the service you paid for.
If you experienced any delay or difficulty accessing your report, our support team will be happy to help you immediately and make sure everything is resolved without hassle.
