Hello Ethan,
We are sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concern.
During the order process, our service includes a trial access period, which allows users to test the platform before any ongoing subscription is activated. If the subscription is not cancelled within the trial period, it is automatically renewed as stated in the terms shown at checkout. However, we understand that this may not have been clear enough in your case and we sincerely apologise for any confusion caused.
We would like to look into your situation and assist you as quickly as possible. Please contact us with the email address used for your order so we can locate your account and review the charge immediately. If applicable, we can also proceed with cancellation and review a possible refund.
We take feedback seriously and always aim to improve clarity for our users.
Kind regards,

Scammers
After paying £5.95 for a car check report, they tried to charge £39.9 and again for £5.95. Thanks for my bank they have recognised fraud and didnt let the payment through. When i paid for the report, it did NOT say i have signed up for any sort of subscription.

Dear Anita,
We’re sorry to read your feedback and understand why this situation may have caused concern. However, we would like to clarify a few important points to ensure full transparency.
When purchasing a report for £5.95, access to our platform includes a 24-hour trial period, which allows users to explore all features without immediate commitment. This trial is clearly mentioned during the checkout process and within our Terms & Conditions. At the end of this period, the subscription is automatically activated unless it is cancelled beforehand.
Regarding the charges you mention, it appears that your bank may have declined the subsequent payment attempts, which is why no subscription was successfully processed. Please rest assured that no active subscription remains on your account.
Our goal is never to mislead, but to offer a flexible service where users can test the platform before deciding to continue. That said, your feedback is valuable and helps us improve how we communicate this information.
We invite you to contact our support team so we can double-check your account and provide you with full reassurance. Once everything is clarified, we would truly appreciate it if you could reconsider your review.
Kind regards,
The car-checking.com Team

Disingenuous, with information which you can otherwise get for free. Customer services will point at the T&C's if you complain. No refund on the £39/monthly subscription. Poor service, use an alternative instead.
The company had opportunity to provide better customer service at the time and chose not to, I don't want anything further to do with them, and I encourage others to take note.

Don't touch - tricked into subscription
As per every other review on here, paid for initial one-off report at £5.95 and lured into a hidden subscription of £39.90 per month. No other emails since the initial report - most companies will provide you with an invoice or reminder email or at least marketing, the fact this company doesn't only shows how much they rely on business by hoping customers don't notice and forget all about them rather than offering a true service or having transparent business model. Appalling.

We confirm that your subscription has now been cancelled and the refund has been approved. Our team has already contacted you via email with the details of your case please check your inbox (including spam/junk folders).

Despicable con. Avoid at all costs.
As with every other review on here I performed a one off car check but they signed me up for a monthly subscription which was not wanted, required or used. Unfortunately this was on a business account which had the payment automatically assigned so it was not noticed until our annual account review. I absolutely despise individuals / companies that make a living this way. Will be persuing with trading standars.,

Dodgy charges by Scammers
Dodgy charges – avoid at all cost!
I had a very similar experience to other reviewers here. What looked like a small one-off payment turned into an unexpected attempt to charge a recurring fee a few days later (around £39.90). There was no clear indication during signup that this would become a subscription.
I’ve flagged it to my bank, but I’m not sure if I’ll get any refund. It’s extremely concerning that this happens without proper transparency.
This feels misleading at best. Be very careful before entering your card details – read everything closely or avoid altogether.
Update 10 Apr 2026: Car-checking.com has now refunded my money, and I appreciate the prompt action taken.
However, this does not change my overall concern. The sign-up process lacks transparency, particularly around recurring charges. They need to significantly improve both transparency and customer service. When I initially contacted customer support, the agent was not helpful at all and focused only on referencing fine print in the terms and conditions rather than addressing my concern.
I hope they take this feedback seriously and make the necessary improvements.

Shocking service would definitely not recommend. Paid for a check on a car then as I have now read the reviews, i had the same charge of 39 taken off my account 2 days later. Checked the history of many cars and never had a company try to sign me up to a hidden direct debit. Have reread emails and nowhere is it clear that this will happen so clearly trying to scam.

Do not use this company. I wanted a one off report on a recent car purchase, cost £5.95. I have noticed that there is a monthly subscription cost of £39.40 which i did not agree too. There was not email from the car check prior to this payment confirming that a payment is being made or indeed confirming that I had entered into a subscription.
I have managed to cancel my card to stop any future payments since it's not set up as a direct debit. The bank,Nationwide, very helpful have agreed to pursue the refund from Car check on my behalf.
I recently phoned car check to cancel, they told me it has been cancelled and I would recieve an email. Guess what still waiting.

Warning and warning ❗❗ Scammers ❗❗ Do not use this site because they engage in fraud by tricking customers into signing up for supposed subscriptions, which are not listed on their website. ❗❗ There is only information about basic, seemingly one-off payments to check vehicle history. Banks are aware of these scammers because there are thousands of customer complaints about this company. REPORT AND BLOCK ❗ You should also report this to the appropriate police unit that deals with this type of fraud, "Action Fraud."
Now, scammers, be careful because you have targeted my family, who are cybernetics, and we will publish all information. You now have one option: refund all monies owed to affected customers, or you will be publicly reported in the mass media.
Just please ignored any messages from them because they are liars ❗ Stop trying to explain about anything ❗Many banks knows what u do . There are to identical websites . No any information about subscription at all there are only amount to car check nothing else .
