Dreadful! Rely on misleading people
Paid £1.95 for the basic check on a single car, only to be charged £39.90 2 days later for a subscription I didn’t want.
Emailed for a refund of the £39.90 that is pending to be told “it’s in T&C’s so no”.
Disgraceful way to operate an alleged business. Will always use Car Vertical etc in future as usual, who clearly state all costs and care for customers in after sales rather than this company who clearly don’t care or wish for your return.

Hi Connor,
We are sincerely sorry for the frustration this has caused and, more importantly, for the initial response you received. We want to be absolutely clear: transparency and customer satisfaction are our top priorities, and "it's in the T&Cs" is not the level of service we aim to provide when a customer feels misled.
The charge of £39.90 follows an initial 72-hour trial period that provides full access to our premium vehicle monitoring and valuation tools. While we strive to make these terms visible, we understand that if you only required a one-time basic check for £1.95, this ongoing membership was not your intention.
There is no need to settle for an unsatisfactory answer: we are committed to overturning that initial decision and resolving this for you manually and fairly today. If you contact our support team again, we commit to:
Immediate Refund of the £39.90: We will process a full refund of the pending or completed subscription charge as a gesture of good faith.
Permanent Cancellation: we will manually verify that your membership is closed so no further charges can ever occur.
Direct Confirmation: We will provide you with a transaction ID for the refund for your records.
Please reach out to us once more so we can correct this oversight and settle your account on the spot:
📧 By email: contact@car-checking.com (Please mark as "URGENT - FOR ATTENTION OF MANAGER - Connor Johnston")
📞 By phone: +44 20 4579 8987 (Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.)
We hope that our accountability and our immediate willingness to return your funds will encourage you to reconsider your rating and your view of our after-sales care.

The initial charge of £5.95 covers your vehicle history report and includes a 72-hour trial period to our premium automotive tools. If this trial is not cancelled, it transitions into a monthly membership of £39.90. We aim to send confirmation emails and invoices for every transaction; if you did not receive these, they may have been filtered by a spam folder or there may have been a technical delivery error, for which we apologize.
There is no need to involve your credit card company or wait for a long dispute process: we are fully prepared to resolve this for you manually and immediately. If you contact our support team today, we commit to the following:

Hi Debbie,
We are sincerely sorry and deeply regret the frustration this has caused you and your husband. This experience is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we take your claim of a promised but missing refund very seriously. Transparency and trust are our priorities, and we want to rectify this immediately.
The initial charge of £5.94 covers a vehicle history report and a 72-hour trial period to our premium tools. If you were told the subscription was cancelled in January, the March charge should never have occurred. This may be due to a technical synchronization error between the account and our billing system, and we sincerely apologize for this oversight.
There is no need for further concern or reporting: we are fully committed to resolving this manually and fairly today. If you contact our support team, we will:
Immediate Double Refund: We will process a full refund for both the January and March charges (totaling £78) to compensate for this error.
Permanent Manual Cancellation: We will manually verify that the subscription is completely purged from our system so no further charges can ever occur.
Direct Email Confirmation: We will send you a formal confirmation of both refunds for your records.

SCAM - AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Bought a check for a car I was looking at, for £5.95. Checked my bank account 2 days later and can see a pending payment for £39.99. I did not sign up to anything and there is nothing in their email confirming a subscription or any further charges. I also have no way of cancelling this 'agreement' because they have not given a any information.
Disgusting fraud of a company. I have emailed them demanding my money back and I will be reporting to my bank as a fraudulent payment.

We are sorry to hear about your frustration and would like to provide some clarity regarding your experience. At car-checking.com, we strive for total transparency in our billing process.
Our service is based on a subscription model designed for continuous vehicle monitoring. The £5.95 payment you made was for an initial report which included a 2-day trial period to our premium platform. This trial allows users to explore all our advanced features before the full subscription begins. We provide detailed information about this on our pricing page, the checkout page, and in the confirmation email sent immediately after purchase.
We understand that these details can sometimes be overlooked. This is why we offer a 30-day Money-Back Guarantee—we have no desire to charge customers who are not fully satisfied with our service. Since you have already contacted your bank, we will cooperate fully with their process, but please know that our support team is also here to help you directly.

Hello Marc,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad that our tools were helpful for checking several vehicles, as providing comprehensive and accurate car history is exactly what our platform is designed for.
However, we would like to clarify the point regarding your subscription. At car-checking.com, we prioritize transparency. Our 7-day trial period for a small initial fee is clearly detailed on our pricing and checkout pages, as well as in the confirmation email sent immediately after purchase. This trial is specifically designed to give users full access to our premium features before the full subscription begins.
It appears your account was terminated due to the payment being declined, which naturally ends the access to our premium data. We stand by our service and offer a 30-day Money-Back Guarantee for any user who isn't satisfied—we believe in earning our customers' trust through the quality of our reports, not through hidden fees.
If you have any further questions or would like to discuss this, our team is available Monday to Saturday (8 a.m. – 8 p.m.) at +44 20 4579 8987 or via email at contact@car-checking.com.

Scam. Paid £5.90 for a useful report. They tried to charge £39 2 days later
If the subscription product was a genuinely worthwhile product they would list it prominently on the pricing page, not sneak it through on your CC when you think you're buying a £5.90 report.
They're relying on the fact that you may well be buying the report in a hurry, on your phone, on a windy dealership forecourt. Shameful way to do business.
Thank goodness the card company spotted it.
Edit: contrary to CarChecking's response, the emails I received made no mention of the £39 charge coming up.

Unauthorised charges on card
Do not use this site, it’s a complete scam. Purchased what I assumed would be a single vehicle report, only to be charged 39.90 2 days later. The so called ‘free trial’ period which they state is clearly shown is the complete opposite. No confirmation email was sent regarding payment or a subscription, just an email to say the vehicle report was ready to view. What is even more frustrating is you have no means of cancelling the ‘free trial’ on their website so you have to contact them which judging by the other reviews took days for a reply and by that time they’d already taken the money.

Shameful business practice
Thought I was buying a single report to help a family member buy her first car. This sham outfit then tried to take £39.90 a couple of days later.
Fortunately, the bank caught it as a suspicious payment. I haven't been charged their nonsense payment, but have had to cancel the card (at least they won't succeed in trying again next month).
It is rare that a company's practices would intense me so much as to leave a review, but this is the worst business practice I have witnessed online, so felt compelled.
As for the clarification they offer customers they have already tried to scam: when 98% of your customer reviews are happy & 2% complain, it could be argued that your disclosures are fair. When 98% of your reviews are complaints, your disclosures are the problem.

We’re very sorry to read your review, Sotiris, and we genuinely regret that you feel this way.
We want to clearly state that we are not a scam, and we do not take payments “for no reason.” When purchasing a vehicle report, customers are offered an initial low-cost access which includes a 7-day trial to our premium platform. After this trial period, the subscription continues at £39.90 per month unless cancelled. These terms are displayed on the pricing page, during checkout, and in the confirmation email sent after purchase.
Regarding the concern about being charged twice on the same day, this is not standard practice. In some cases, what appears as a second charge may actually be a pending authorisation from the bank rather than a completed transaction.

We’re very sorry to read your feedback, Andy, and we understand how upsetting unexpected charges can feel.
We would like to clarify that when purchasing a vehicle report at the promotional price (such as £5.90), this includes a 7-day trial period to our premium platform. After the trial period, the subscription continues at £39.90 per month unless cancelled. These details are clearly displayed on the pricing page, during checkout, and in the confirmation email sent after purchase. There are no hidden costs, and we do not activate subscriptions without prior disclosure.
That said, we completely understand that subscription terms can sometimes be overlooked, especially when focusing on completing a quick vehicle check.
We’re also concerned to hear that this situation led you to freeze your bank card. We would genuinely like the opportunity to review your case promptly and provide clarification or assistance where possible.

We hope you will allow us the chance to resolve this matter. Once clarified, we would greatly appreciate you considering updating your review to reflect the outcome.
