I have had exactly the same bad experience of being charged an initial £5.95 and then having an unsolicited “subscription” of £39.90 debited without warning or any permission I was aware of. Ba... See more

SCAM SCAM SCAM, ordered a discounted report for 5.95, they then went on to charge 39.99, no indications of the charge on the website.... there will be some small box to uncheck somewhere buried on the website to stop a subscription charge.. wish id checked for reviews first... do not use.... lodged with bank as a dispute as no support from this company to recover the funds

DONT USE THIS CHECK. As with a lot of other reviews. Paid for a 1 off check before buying a motorbike. £5.99. Then the next day they tried to take £39.99 from the account. Initially blocked by my Bank. But they tried again a few days later. Use another service.

They charge you initially £5.95 - the report doesn't come through, you query it and they say they haven't taken your money. A month later £39.90 is taken from your account for no service at all and continues to be taken each month until the bank has to stop the payment. TOTAL SCAM DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

I wanted to check out a car I was planning on buying. This site appeared and I paid for the search, which was at a fair discounted price of £5.95. Payment went through, and I thought that was that.
The following day, another payment went through for £39.90. This seems to be a scam site. AVOID at all costs. Now I am having to go through the process of cancelling cards, etc

AVOID, I got suckered into the £39 subscription. Tried to use the email termination, but couldn’t recognise my email address even though it was the one I logged in with.
Had to call them, and though they answered quickly, the operator was insistent that I was the one in the wrong and it was clear in their website. Reading their reviews there must be a lot of blind people out there.
Operator cancelled my “subscription” without so much of an apology and refused to refund.
I wish I read these reviews before I was suckered in by this low price for a one of report.

Used this company to check a car we were buying. We actually searched for car vertical, but this company came up and had the 'tag line' car vertical. Purposely misleading straight from the start! Be warned, using this company will result in you being signed up to a subscription of £39 a month, not at all clear on their website, and deliberately misleading.

Thought I was checking a vehicle history with a reputable company. Got charged about £5.99 for a report that was useless with no more details on it than I was able to find out on the DVLC for free (I suspect that is where they pull the info they give you from).
Several months later I was trying to track a payment for some electronic components and noted a £39.99 per month going out to something I did not recognise. It seems they charge it afterwards for as long as you don't notice it going out. Utter scamers of a company.

Offers a car check for £5.95. Which seems good value but the check is very limited then hits you with a £39.99 charge the next day. SCAM!!!

This it’s worth company ever I have experience they want to take money from my account £39 and then try it again the following day to take £45 please don’t trust this company

I was charged a monthly subscription fee of £39.90/£39.99 without my knowledge or consent. I only intended to purchase a single report, and I never signed up for any recurring payments. This is a complete scam and a theft of my money. I demand an immediate full refund. I have already reported this fraudulent activity to my bank. Avoid this website at all costs!

Same a lot of people here fell for the sneaky tactic of charging £39 for an unwanted subscription, impossible to cancel and written in a minuscule text just below the £5 pound charge. It's unbelievable that such scamming companies are allowed to operate.

Reply from Checkmycar
Be careful, I fell for the £39 a month scan as did many others, I managed to cancel the subscription eventually. Now 14 months later they charge me again out of the blue with no warning, using the same card details as a recurring payment. Nothing for 14 months then this. Reported to the bank as fraud. I have had to cancel my card and order a new one to prevent them using the same number. Absolute thieves

It's a scam website. Not sure how they got our credit card details and keep charging a monthly subscription of 39.99£ till we blocked out credit card.

One more unsuspecting punter who experienced an unexpected monthly subscription charge of £39.90 following the attempted purchase of a single £5.95 report. Luckily, HSBC's Fraud team caught it for me.
I usually check everything on TrustPilot before purchasing and very rarely get caught out, but this site was similar enough in name and appearance to a reputable one that I have used previously that I thought I was using that. Lesson learned.
I believe that this organisation is in breach of various aspects of marketing legislation, consumer contracts regulations and the Data Protection Act 2018.

As everyone else mentions, this company is a scam and then steal money from your account. I paid £5.95 to check a used car registration number. Three months later I notice a direct debit for £39 going out of my account to HP Check My Car Ireland. Contacted my bank Barclays who canceled the DD's and are investigating through Fraud. Dodgy company and the owners should be put away for years.
