Disappointed with the billing. I was expecting a charge of €2.90 but was invoiced €29 — ten times the amount I understood I would pay. That kind of discrepancy is not acceptable and makes me question... See more

I purchased what I believed was a…
I purchased what I believed was a one-time vehicle report for €2.90, but afterward I discovered that CarJudge had automatically enrolled me into a recurring monthly subscription without making it sufficiently clear during checkout.
They continued charging me €29.95 every month, and I only noticed later when checking my bank transactions. This feels extremely misleading and unfair to customers who only want a single report.
The subscription terms should be displayed much more clearly before payment. In my experience, the whole process was confusing and lacked transparency.
Very disappointed with this experience and I would not recommend this service.
Update: After contacting their support team by email, they eventually canceled the subscription and issued me a refund. The money is now being returned to my account.

Please do not use this company
Please do not use this company. Bought a report for £2.90 and got automatically rolled into a monthly subscription in their T&Cs which I clearly didn’t need. Noticed after 2 payments of £21.95 was taken and they have refused to give money back. How can these guys continue to operate when it’s clearly set up just to con people. AVOID.

Be aware .
Be aware when signing up that the price you are paying is an introductory offer,and unless you cancel,you will be charged a higher amount on a monthly basis until cancelled.I didn't read the terms and conditions,and unfortunately was.On contacting the company,I was issued with a prompt refund and handled amicably,so no complaints from me.

Total scam
Total scam. Had correct VIN and plate but wrong model of car, and not only did it have the wrong mileage but said there was a rollback which never happened. Only paid because I was looking for a missing piece of my service history which it stated it would provide - no service history provided.

Unexpected subscription and misleading trial
I was charged for a subscription to CarJudge without being clearly aware that the free trial would automatically convert into a paid monthly plan.
The pricing and auto-renewal were not clearly communicated at the time of signup, which feels misleading.
After contacting support, my subscription was cancelled and a refund was issued, which I appreciate. However, the initial user experience is confusing and not transparent enough.
I would strongly recommend improving the clarity of subscription terms to avoid unexpected charges for other users.

Careful!!! They will make an automatic subscription
I paid around €3 for what I believed was a single vehicle history report. Later, I discovered two additional recurring charges of approximately €26 each were taken from my bank account in April and May without me clearly understanding I had subscribed to an ongoing membership.
I also had difficulties accessing my account because the verification link expired, making it harder to manage or cancel the subscription.
After searching online, I noticed many other customers reporting very similar experiences regarding recurring subscription charges after purchasing only one report.
The company should make the subscription terms much clearer and more transparent before taking recurring payments from customers.
I have now contacted them requesting cancellation and a refund of the additional charges.
