After paying for one and only HPI check they started to charge me 39.90 every month for six months without my knowledge or permission. This is the full scale scam. I am calling my bank ASAP. All those legitimate websites should never advertise your company as it gives you some kind of form of legitimacy in the eyes of unsuspecting customer. If I could give you zero stars I would definitely do it.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS WEBSITE! ONE OF THE WORST SCAM TRAPS EVER!
On November 22nd, I purchased a one-off car report from CheckMyCar for £1.95. What they do not make clear is that they immediately sneak a continuous recurring payment/direct debit mandate onto your card.
Starting just two days later on November 24th, they began secretly deducting £39.90 every single month from my bank account. They kept doing this quietly every month until I finally caught them on May 24th. In total, they have stolen £239.40 from me for a service I never agreed to, never signed up for, and never used!
This website relies on people not checking their bank statements immediately to bleed them dry. It is a completely predatory, deceptive subscription trap. Never ever use this website, stay far away, and save your money.

Warning
Warning! Nothing has changed regarding this website. If I had seen these reviews here I would have never visited their website. Similar bad experience to others here. Wanted to check one car history but was mislead to signing up to a monthly subscription. Never received an email outlining I had sign up to such a subscription. Also the charge appears on my bank account referring a different website which provides a free service. Contacted that other website and they have had other people emailing them for refunds from checkmycar.io. I contacted checkmycar.io and they simply said I had signed up to the monthly charge and cancelled it, no offer to refund me or even an apology. The "service" they offer is clearly misleading, has been raised with them several times yet they have not changed. Seems they are happy to benefit from misleading people. Stay away from them!

Scam
I like many others, have been a victim of obscure and hidden subscription fees that I did not knowingly consent to. The checkmycar website is vague in the extreme and verging on being illegal due to the crafty and misleading wording. Furthermore, for several days after I tried to cancel 'my subscription', I recieved multiple phishing scams via text and email which could easily be coincidence but all of them mentioned my bank by name and were not just generic. Be warned, this website is not to be trusted so please go elsewhere and read the small print before commiting yourself.

SCAMMERS- DO NOT USE
I wish I had checked here first because as others have mentioned they start taking £39.90 without any warning or authorisation
Total scammers avoid at all costs!!!!
I am raising with my bank as I have read they will try to take this monthly
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY/WEBSITE!!!!!!!!
WHO would need this on a monthly ongoing basis (as the company has replied to other unfortunate victims that it is in their small print)…WHO?
No-one and that’s why people don’t expect it, Thieves and crooks!!!!
I hope the police shut them down!!!
I believe there are new laws on the way to prevent these kind of scams, I hope this company gets hammered for the worry and misery they cause
Update:
Despite emailing as requested you have continued to take my money and have not responded to my email
You are total thieves and a warning to anyone reading this. This company is a total scam
THEY DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SUBSCRIBING WHEN PURCHASING AND HAVE NO PROPER ORDER NUMBER TO QUOTE BACK TO DISPUTE AND THEY SEEM TO THINK A 48 HOUR WINDOW TO CANCEL IS ACCEPTABLE!!!
NO, IT’S RIDICULOUS AND WHEN YOU AREN'T EVEN TOLD YOU ARE SUBSCRIBING IT IS DOWNRIGHT UNSCRUPULOUS
DODGY DODGY DODGY
AVOID AVOID AVOID
Also, have been inundated with spam calls ever since so my guess is they also sell personal info like phone numbers and emails!!!!

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.
