Scam

Scam - avoid them unless you want to loose money without your consent - thru don’t honour accidental subscriptions snd don’t make it clear what you are signing up for and it’s difficult to unsubscribe too!
In response to their reply below - I had already emailed them to get a response saying that they are clear in their subscription sign up so won’t refund me- ypu onky need to see their review scores and all the other feedback on here to see that they just want the accidental subscription fees otherwise they would make it clear that you are agreeing to - AVOID!! Update… hassle lots and you might get refunded.

Easy Cancellation: We aim to make our terms clear and the cancellation process straightforward. If you encountered any difficulty unsubscribing, it may be due to a technical glitch that we want to fix for you right away.

Consent & Support: We do not process payments without prior agreement to our terms. However, if this was an accidental sign-up, we are more than happy to review your case and find a fair solution.

Please contact our dedicated support team so we can resolve this and regain your trust:

Scam

I paid £5.95 for a ONE off car check, there was no mention that this would be a reoccurring subscription for £39.90 per month! There was no confirmation email to say this was a subscription, there was no mention in anyway, shape or form that this was a subscription. If there was I would not have given my card details. Also the two payments were listed using two different names.
I have sent a complaint to request my money back and any further payments to be cancelled, also I have made my bank aware and they have cancelled my card so you will not be receiving any further funds from me!

Dear Sara,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by the misunderstanding regarding our subscription terms.

We aim for total transparency, which is why we offer a trial period at a reduced price (like the £5.95 you mentioned) to allow customers to test our car history reports before a full membership begins. Information regarding the transition to a monthly subscription is provided at the point of checkout and in our terms of service to ensure users are aware of how the trial works.

We take your comments about the confirmation email and billing names very seriously and will investigate this with our technical team immediately. Regarding your refund request: if you did not intend to subscribe, we are committed to making this right.

Please contact our dedicated support team directly so we can process your request and confirm the cancellation of your account:

📞 020 4579 8987

📧 contact@car-checking.com

We value your business and hope that once this is resolved, you might consider revising your review to reflect our commitment to customer service.

Best regards,

Avoid - avoid avoid - rip off scam

Do not use this service and this business - I paid for a £5.99 check and the next day they took £39.99 from my account informing me I had subscribed. I had no intention of subscribing and saw no mention of it when I paid my £5.99 - if I inadvertently subscribed - It must have been very deceptive small print - total scam and rip off.

Hello Andy,

We’re truly sorry to read about your frustration and we understand how upsetting an unexpected charge can be. That said, we’d like to clarify and help resolve this situation calmly and transparently.

When placing an order, our service includes a trial offer, which allows customers to access the full report and test the platform before any longer-term commitment. The subscription details, pricing and cancellation terms are displayed during the checkout process and are also confirmed in the email sent immediately after purchase. This is never intended to be misleading.

That being said, we completely understand that this may have been overlooked, and we are here to help. Our support team can:

Review your account in detail

Cancel the subscription immediately if requested

Provide a fair and appropriate solution

Please contact us directly so we can sort this out quickly and personally:
📞 020 4579 8987
📧 contact@car-checking.com

Once your request has been handled, we sincerely hope you’ll feel reassured and consider updating your review to reflect the resolution. Customer satisfaction remains our priority.

Hello,

We hear your frustration, and we sincerely regret that this subscription went unnoticed for several months. At Car-Checking, our trial period is intended to introduce users to our ongoing vehicle monitoring services, but we never want a customer to feel "ripped off."

We are not "acting stupid" regarding the feedback we receive; on the contrary, we use every review to try and make our terms as visible as possible. Since this has been ongoing since March, we would like to personally review your case and usage history.

Please contact our management team directly at contact@car-checking.com or call 020 4579 8987. We are committed to finding a fair resolution and discussing a potential refund for the period the service was not utilized. We are here to help, not to hide.

Hello,

We sincerely apologize for the 45-minute wait. This is not the level of service we aim to provide. We are currently experiencing high call volumes, but we do not want this to prevent you from getting a solution.

The £38.99 charge follows the trial period of £5.99. We understand this was not your intention, and we are ready to fix it. Instead of waiting on hold again, please email us directly at contact@car-checking.com with "URGENT: REFUND" in the subject line.

Our management team will prioritize your email to ensure your subscription is cancelled and your case is reviewed for a refund immediately. We are listening and we are taking action.

Report to credit card

I used this service and like many others had the £39.90 taken. Customer service was not great and the website is very misleading. I had my original review removed for some reason but as an update, I contacted my credit card company. They are aware of this company and having completed a charge back claim I now have the money back. Avoid this company at all costs.

Hello,

We are sorry to hear that you felt our service was misleading and that you had to go through your credit card company to get a refund. Regarding your removed review, please note that we do not have the power to delete reviews ourselves; this is usually handled by the platform's automated filters if they detect a breach of guidelines.

We genuinely regret that our customer service didn't meet your expectations initially. We offer a trial period to be as helpful as possible, and we would have preferred to process your refund directly and more quickly than a bank claim.

We are using your feedback to simplify our website's terms and improve our team's responsiveness at 020 4579 8987. We wish you the best with your future vehicle searches.

Scammers - they kept trying to use my credit card

Used this service in good faith in an attempt not to get scammed….. guess what? They’re scammers!!

Paid £5.95 for a PDF report that was incomplete and fairly rubbish, on a bog standard unremarkable UK car.

Company then made fraudulent transaction on my credit card for £35. Contacted them by email - no reply.

One month later - they attempted another transaction. This time my credit card provided has blocked it.

Scammer company - don’t use.

Scammed

Can't give 0 star unfortunately.

Absolute scam company. Paid for one vehicle check, then a few days later they took £39.90 out of my account. I have raised this with them and they have made out that this is my fault for not checking. I paid for initial £5.95 vehicle check then got stung with a subscription fee. I have also contacted my Banking provider to get refunded. I will keep chasing them until I get a refund. Please no one use them!!

Hello,

We are sorry to hear that you feel this way, but we would like to clarify how our service works to address your concerns.

At car-checking.com, we offer a comprehensive vehicle history service. The initial £5.95 covers your first report and activates a trial period for our premium tools. This is clearly stated on our payment page before any transaction is confirmed. If the trial is not cancelled within the specified timeframe, a monthly subscription fee of £39.90 is applied to maintain your access to our ongoing vehicle monitoring and support services.

We never intend for our customers to feel 'stung' by these terms. We have a dedicated support team ready to review cases where a customer may have missed these details:

Refund Requests: We are happy to review your account history. If you have not used the premium features since the charge, please contact us directly to discuss a fair resolution.

Direct Assistance: Contacting us is often the fastest way to resolve these matters compared to lengthy bank disputes.

Please reach out to us so we can look into your refund request personally:

I mistakenly signed up for a subscription

I mistakenly signed up for a subscription when I just wanted a one off review. I didn't realise that I would be signed up after a "48hr trial period". When contacting their customer services it felt like I was being told off and was my tough luck for making a mistake. I managed to get a refund in the end but only because I was persistent. Run of the mill report on your car stretched over 16 pages which could be condensed to about 4. Absolutely terrible customer service. I have no intention of using this company ever again.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to read how frustrating this process felt and completely understand your dissatisfaction. We also appreciate your persistence in securing a refund—it’s important to us that customers feel supported.

We want to clarify that Car-Checking is a subscription-based service with a 48-hour trial period, designed to let users test the platform before any ongoing commitment. We understand that, for one-off checks, this can be confusing, and we are continuously working to make these details clearer during the sign-up process.

Regarding your report, our aim is to provide comprehensive information from multiple sources in a single document. That said, we hear your feedback about length and presentation, and it will be shared with our team to help improve clarity and usability.

We regret that your interaction with our support team felt negative. This is never our intention, and we are committed to polite, helpful, and solution-focused customer service. Your comments help us improve our approach for future users.

Hello,

We’re sorry to read about your experience and understand why it felt frustrating and concerning. We’d like to reassure you that Car-Checking is not a scam and that no subscription is activated without a prior registration on our website.

The £5.95 payment corresponds to access to our service with a clearly indicated trial period, allowing users to test the platform before any ongoing subscription. If the trial is not cancelled within this period, the subscription then continues automatically, as explained during the checkout process and in the confirmation emails. That said, we recognise that this information can be missed, particularly when users are expecting a one-off purchase, and we take this feedback seriously.

In your case, since your bank declined the subsequent payment, no further charges were made. If you would like us to double-check your account status, confirm cancellation, or provide any clarification, our support team will be happy to assist.

Avoid - a con and incorrect report data

Avoid. Three dodgy elements to this firm:
1. I needed a quick search (as I was in the dealership) on a car I was buying. Google searched for Car Vertical and this site was top of the search list - including the words Car Vertical in its title!
2. Turns out to be a subscription £39 per month not a £5 single search - OK, if you look really hard it is in the text but not easy to see and not what you would expect - very dodgy practice. Luckily I cancelled within 48 hrs.
3. Perhaps worse of all - the data is rubbish. I did a search on a 3yr old 3 series BMW - not a rare car! - report had spelling errors, missing performance data (top speed quoted in rpm!!), registration date was wrong etc. so not even worth the £5.
These sites really should be shut down. The report gave no more info than I could get for free on total car check + carsnitch.co.uk. Don't waste your time or money.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re sorry to read about your disappointment and we understand why this experience led you to leave a strong review, especially given the time pressure of being in a dealership.

We’d like to clarify a few points. Car-Checking is an independent service and is not affiliated with CarVertical. We do not claim to be CarVertical, although we recognise that search engine results can sometimes create confusion. This is something we actively monitor and take seriously.

Regarding pricing, the £5.90 payment provides access to a trial period, during which users can test the service before any subscription continues. As you correctly noted, you were able to cancel within the trial period, which prevented any ongoing charges. We acknowledge, however, that when the need is urgent and one-off, this information may not feel as visible as expected, and we are continually working to improve clarity.

Concerning the report quality, we’re genuinely sorry that the data did not meet your expectations. Our reports aggregate information from multiple official and commercial sources and are designed to present it in a single, structured format. That said, errors or missing data should not occur, and feedback like yours is extremely valuable for helping us improve accuracy and presentation.

If you’re willing, we would appreciate the opportunity to:

review the specific report you received,

investigate the data issues you mentioned,

and ensure your account is fully closed and compliant with your cancellation.

You can reach our support team directly here:

We respect that our service may not be the right fit for everyone, but we hope that addressing your concerns directly might at least clarify the situation. Should everything be resolved to your satisfaction, you’re of course welcome to update your review accordingly.

Car-Checking SCAM

As other people have said, scammers 100%. Pay for the initial check at £5.90 and days later they steal £39.90 from your account. I reported to my bank as a scam and they said it was a subscription based site....yet no mention of subscriptions on the car checking site. I phoned the company in Dublin and told them they were scamming B*******, refund e mail received and would take 7 days for refund to come through, how many people are being ripped off here......Also the report you get is the same as the one that appears for free on any checking site,,,,,stay clear .. I have a refund showing on my bank account although not fully cleared as such. I WONT consider changing my comments on the service as it should never have reached this point. Perhaps you need to change the set up of your website to be more clarified. Also the report I got was exactly the same as any "free basic report" Good bye.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to read how frustrated and disappointed you felt, and we understand why this situation led you to leave such a strong review.

We would like to clarify that Car-Checking operates as a subscription-based service with an introductory trial, which allows users to access the full report and test the platform before any longer-term commitment. The existence of this trial and the continuation into a subscription if not cancelled within the trial period are indicated during the checkout process and in the confirmation information sent after registration. That said, we fully acknowledge that this can be overlooked, particularly when the initial need is a one-off vehicle check.

We appreciate you contacting our support team directly. As confirmed to you by email, a refund has been processed, and the usual timeframe for it to appear is up to 7 working days, depending on your bank. Our intention is never to cause confusion or dissatisfaction, and we do not benefit from unhappy customers.

Regarding the report itself, our service compiles and structures data from multiple official sources into a single, easy-to-read document, which many users find helpful compared to searching across several platforms. However, we respect that this may not meet everyone’s expectations.

If you have any remaining questions or if you’d like us to double-check that everything has been fully resolved, please don’t hesitate to contact us again:

Hello,

We’re sorry to read about your experience and we completely understand your frustration. We want to clarify that Car-Checking is not a scam, and no charge is made without a prior registration.

When a payment of £5.95 is made, it corresponds to access to our service with a clearly indicated trial period. During this trial, users can test the platform before any long-term commitment. If the trial is not cancelled within this period, the subscription then continues automatically, as explained during the checkout process and in the confirmation emails.

That said, we understand that this information can sometimes be missed, especially when the initial need is a one-time check. Our goal is transparency and customer satisfaction, not dissatisfaction.

We strongly encourage you to contact our support team so we can:

review your account,

clarify the charges,

and find an appropriate solution for your situation.

Once your case has been reviewed and resolved, we hope you’ll consider updating your review to reflect the outcome. Our team is here to help.

Kind regards,
The Car-Checking Team
