Absolute Scam
Absolute Scam. Basically stealing 40€ behind your back every month. Don't buy anything off this website.

Cant put 0stars but absolutely terrible
They said that there was a special offer for a single check for £3.90 so i did it, nowhere did it tell me that it was a subscription or anything like that, until a few days later £39.90 comes out of my bank. I contacted them and the customer service was terrible, they just said that they sent emails telling me that my free trial was ending which they did not so i sent proof of it and they told me they arent gonna do anything about it. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I suspect this company is a fraud
I suspect this company is a fraud. It came up when searching for a lower cost alternative to carfax. The "data" they supplied in the "report" i paid 9.90 euros for was super basic and limited to stuff you can find for free. Within an hour i got an email confirming a 39.90 euro MONTHLY subscription. I blocked my card even though it's highly inconvenient for me and recommend avoiding this company. It appears ro be run by a person based in China.

Hallo,
es tut uns leid, dass Ihre Erfahrung nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat.
Wir möchten jedoch einige Punkte richtigstellen. Die Bedingungen des Abonnements sowie die automatische Verlängerung zu 39,90 € werden an mehreren Stellen klar und deutlich angezeigt: auf der Zahlungsseite vor dem Kauf, in der Bestätigungs-E-Mail, in der Erinnerung vor Ablauf der Testphase, in der Rechnungs-E-Mail sowie jederzeit in unseren Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen.
