Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 425 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with unexpected payments and subscriptions, often finding that a one-off payment for a car check led to recurring charges without their clear consent. Customers frequently mentioned that the pricing structure was unclear, and the website did not adequately disclose the subscription model. Reviewers also reported difficulties contacting the company to resolve these issues, with some stating that their attempts to cancel subscriptions or request refunds were ignored. The general sentiment is that the company's business practices are unclear, leading to unexpected charges and frustration for those who believed they were making a single purchase.

Span Subscription with no warning

I am raising a dispute with this company ‘HP Checkmycar’ (also trading as Checkmycar). I had paid for their service online for what I thought was an initial sum of £5.95. However, it was not made clear that by proceeding with the payment I would also pay for a monthly subscription of £39.90 two days later. I had not received any correspondence by email to confirm payment nor received any correspondence to say they had taken payment of the subscription for £39.90....no trace is how this company seems to operate, so please be very careful. I have tried to contact them on their number and by email and no response. I have also notified my bank about this company and they are dealing with this.

Absolute deceptions

Absolute deceptions, please refrain from purchasing anything from these websites. I remitted £5.95 in March 2025, and they subsequently withdrew £39.90 in April 2026, with an attempt to debit more in May 2026 from my account. I reached out to them following the April payment, but received no response to my correspondence. I have since contacted the Bank, which has flagged them as fraudulent within their system, and I have also notified authorities.

Like a lot of other people have said, this company is unscrupulous, bordering on fraudulent. AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS. I have been charged £39.90 without knowledge. I’m disputing payment and will have to cancel my card.

Unexpected charge on a credit card led me to these reviews.

I can see from other reviews that people seem to have done a check on a vehicle and then been hit with a subscription charge, however, that’s not the case for us.

We have never used this service or even entered any details and yet a payment of £39 odd was taken in April. The same amount was just attempted again but the credit card company blocked it thankfully. If this hadn’t happened we wouldn’t have even noticed!

We have now frozen the card and flagged the previous payment as fraudulent because there is no way of us knowing how this company got the card details.

People beware. As the payment was taken it proves that checks are not being completed.

Checked one car with this company..steer clear

Checked one car with this company for £5.99 and it has so far cost me just over £200. I have contacted them through their contact us portal but they continue to take money from my account. I understand that their small print says you have to cancel subscription within 48hrs but it is well hidden. I am still trying to get them to stop taking money from my account and wouldn't go near this company. I am an OAP battling cancer and just dont know what to do. Just an update to say Checkmycar Ireland has refunded 5 payments of £39.90 which had been taken from my bank. I am really grateful to the company but wonder if they should make the cancellation criteria more obvious .

There is a thief!

Like everyone else, I experienced the same problem. They stole money from my account, and I reported the issue to them. They stated in an email that no further payments would be taken and that my money would be refunded. However, the following month, they stole money from my account again. I sent emails numerous times again. I think the thieves are trying to distract us. I'll need to find the appropriate authorities to report this to.

Trading standards issue

Along with most of the other 1,760 1-star reviewers, I was misled by this company's website into signing up to a time-unlimited subscription for £39 per month after receiving what I had intended to be a single vehicle report. My UK bank were aware of this recurring scam and have refunded the last payment. The Irish Trading Standards authorities, CCPC.ie, under whose jurisdiction this company operates, have been made aware of this clear example of business malpractice.
Postscript ...checkmycar's responses are factually incorrect, at least three payments of £39.90 have been taken from my bank card. I'd be happy to engage more on this forum if checkmycar undertakes to refund those payments.

Dear John,

Thank you for your message.

After a thorough verification of our records, we can confirm that we have no active or successful charge linked to your details, only an attempted transaction that did not result in a completed payment.

It is therefore possible that the situation you are referring to may be linked to another provider or a separate transaction.

If you believe there has been any error or if you still see a charge on your side, please feel free to contact us directly with a screenshot or proof of the transaction by email. Our team will be happy to investigate this further for you and clarify the situation as quickly as possible.

We remain available should you need any additional assistance.

I paid £5.95 for a car check report, and at no point was it made clear that I was signing up for any kind of subscription.
A few days later, I was unexpectedly charged nearly £40 without my knowledge or consent.

Look how they are stealing money from people! Unacceptable. I should have read the reviews before using their service.

Unfortunately this company runs a subscription scam.
When you download a report (access for first time) the 'small print' (and I mean small) signs you up (within exp of 48 hours) to a monthly subscription of £39.90.

Don't go anywhere near them, there are plenty of honest Car Checking services who are plain about this and only charge a one off.

We regret that this may not have been sufficiently clear in your case.

Scam. Avoid.

Pretty much what everyone else is saying. Paid for the initial car check and thought that was it. I have now realised that 3 further payments of £39.90 have been taken from my account. On trying to cancel it appears I don't have an account as my email is not recognised. So how can I cancel a subscription that I don't have??!!
Please avoid at all costs.

Hello Claire Murphy,

We are sorry to read your feedback and understand your concern regarding this situation.

Our service operates with a trial period followed by a subscription, which is presented during the checkout process and in the terms and conditions prior to payment. If the subscription is not cancelled within the trial period, it is automatically activated, which may explain the charges you mention.

That being said, we can confirm that your situation has now been fully resolved and regularised by our team. The appropriate action has been taken regarding your case.

We thank you for your patience and invite you, if you are satisfied with the outcome, to update your review to reflect the resolution.

The report on the vehicle is very…

The report on the vehicle is very comprehensive and perfectly happy with it for a £5.95 one off payment, no trial period or membership was subscribed to nor appears as part of the information on my android device as I stood at the dealership checking the vehicle out. 3 Days later I'm charged again, this time £39.90 on 22/04/2026 without any explanation nor had I subscribed to any service or bought another vehicle report. I bought a one off vehicle check for £5.95 and paid then and there (18/04/2026)!
It's very sharp practice and pretty disgusting really. Given this taking additiinal funds without any consent i could not reccomend checkmycar which is a shame given the decent vehicle report. I cannot get past them taking money using my debut card info without my permission. Be careful who you give card details to. Lesson learned...

Hello Mark,

We’re very sorry to read your message and understand how concerning this situation must feel, especially when you’re unable to find the expected information in your account.

Please rest assured that no charge is ever made without prior user action. The initial access to our service includes a trial period, activated when a first request is made, and followed by an automatic subscription unless it is cancelled during this time. This information is normally displayed during the process and confirmed by email.

That said, your difficulty accessing account details is absolutely not the experience we want to provide, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration caused. It’s possible that the account was created with a different email address or that there was an issue accessing the dashboard, and we would really like to investigate this for you as a priority.

Before taking further steps with your bank, we strongly encourage you to contact us directly so we can quickly review your case and provide a clear and fair resolution. Our support team is here to help and will do everything possible to sort this out for you.

Hello Alan,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and fully understand your concern regarding this charge.

When the initial payment of £5.95 is made, it corresponds to access to our service and the activation of a trial period, clearly indicated during the checkout process. At the end of this trial, the subscription automatically continues at the standard monthly rate unless it has been cancelled beforehand.

That said, we completely understand that this may not have been clear to you, and we sincerely apologise for any confusion caused. This is absolutely not our intention, and we always aim to be as transparent as possible.

We would really like to look into your case in detail and help you find a fair solution. Our support team is available and responsive, and can assist you quickly with clarification, cancellation, or any appropriate resolution.

Hp Checkmycar - STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY

I had the same experience as most of the people who have written reviews regarding this company. I purchased a single car check for £5.95 on 17th March 2026. The company tried to take £39.90 from my bank account. The payment was declined as I only use this account for small payments and there were insufficient funds. After reading reviews on Trustpilot I realised I was being charged for a subscription which I did not sign up for. I emailed the company to advise that I did not subscribe and thought this would rectify the situation but the company have again tried to take another payment today of £39.90 (8th April 2026) so from 17th March 2026 they have tried twice to take this payment. I have blocked payments now and advised my bank as to why. Would just like to say to anyone who pays for a single car check - BEWARE - Hp Checkmycar will try and take recurring payments of £39.90 from your account EVEN after advising them that you do not wish to subscribe. Absolutely disgraceful.

We take your comments regarding transparency very seriously and are constantly working to make these terms even more prominent to avoid any misunderstanding.
