I am having the same problem as everyone that appears to be using this site. They charge an initial small fee then hammer you with charges each month. If you are not diligent this can amount to a substantial sum AND THEY WILL NOT REFUND. i will avoid using them again.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to read that you feel disappointed and frustrated — we completely understand how upsetting unexpected charges can be.
We’d like to clarify that the initial fee gives access to a trial period, during which all features of the service can be tested before any ongoing subscription continues. The subscription details, pricing, and cancellation options are displayed before validation, but we recognise that this information may not have been clear enough during your journey, and we regret that.
Refund eligibility depends on the account status and usage, which is why we strongly encourage you to contact our support team directly. In many cases, a review of the situation allows us to find a fair solution.
Please reach out to us so we can look into your account and assist you personally:

This is a very misleading service
This is a very misleading service . It is not made clear that after a single payments £5.95 for a car history check that you must to unsubscribe or you will be automatically be paying £39.90 per month on a rolling basis .
Highly irregular and scam orientated website .
This is a total disgrace that this Company can be allowed to run a ‘service’ that is intentionally misleading and sets out to ‘trap ‘ people into a regular monthly payment of £39.90 .
I will seeking a full refund of the 10 payments that have been taken from my account under false pretences from the company and then seeking full redress via my credit card and bank
I will then be contacting Which magazine and Martin Lewis if I do not get a satisfactory resolution from this company

Scammers
You pay a fee of £5.95 to receive a report which never arrives and then unknowingly are signed up to a monthly payment of £39.90. This is completely unclear on the website and there is no warning via another forms of communication. The first you will know is when a payment is taken from your account.
I have contacted to the company for a refund and to stop any further payments but hold little hope this will happen. To stop further payments I will have to cancel my card and order a new one.
For over 1700 people to have the same issue is not a problem with the consumer misunderstanding. It is a deliberate pricing strategy which is completely immoral and likely not legal.
They claim to be a UK based company, yet the payments are from Dublin which is not UK.. probably a further tax avoidance/scrutiny scam.
Even in their own description on this Trust pilot page they claim the payment should by £29.90 so they can't even get their story straight.
In short do not use them!

Check my car subscription scam
My bank contacted me yesterday to ask if I was awear of bank transactions for £39.90 to check my car, I was not unfortunately I've been consumed with my terminally ill husband who's now sadly passed away.
Unbeknown to me they have been taking the grand sum of £39.90 OUT of my account since 20th sept 2024 they have taken £644.35 out of my account, yes i should have checked my account but my minds been all over the place, I'm absolutely deversted to find this out, i had no idea that I had supposedly signed up for a subscription, I HAS NOT there was nothing obvious that there was a subscription of £39.90 a month after paying the £5.98, I did not agree to this, I have also tried to log in only to see there's nothing activated and my email address is not recognised.
Who in there right mind would want to subscribe to paying £39.90 a month FOR WHAT ???, I've been sent no emails,no news letters, no offers, iv had zero services to warrant a fee of £39.90 a month, therefore all I can see is this is pure extortion of vaunrable unsuspecting people, I know this is the case from reading review after review about the same devious practice happening to everyone who uses this site.
I HAVE CONTACTED THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE who has said they will pass my information onto there accounts.
I waiting on a full refund,or I will take serious further action. I am very upset, and very angry.
My husbands death was sudden, my finances are thin on the ground, what this company is doing is very wrong. THERE SUBSCRIPTION IS NOT MADE CLEAR.
And we all know why, from the amout of people that are getting caught out, this must be making this company millions of the back of vaunrable people.

Same experience as everyone else
Same experience as everyone else, you pay for a report then get signed up to a random subscription, I've tried contacting them on several occasions but I just get ignored.
It doesn't clearly mention that you get signed up to a subscription and charges you separately from your report in an attempt to hid it, very dodgy

Exercise caution with Checkmycar!
24/01/25 - UPDATE
After contacting checkmycar over the phone they agreed to a refund which I have now received.
Like a lot of other people I paid for a £5.95 car check and then was surprised to see £39.90 debited from my account.
I immediately contacted checkmycar through their contact us page then followed it up with an email asking them to cancel the subscription and issue a refund as I did not want the subscription.
I received a reply stating their T&C's are on the website and therefore they would not issue a refund and then asking me again if I wanted to cancel my subscription which I have done.
I even created an account using the email I used for the car check but when I login I cannot see the car check I paid for that they sent a link for (that no longer works) and there is no mention of a subscription.
I would urge anyone doing car checks to be extremely careful with this company as it was not obvious to me that I was signing up to a subscription service and I still can't see that I have signed up to one. The only evidence is £39.90 being debited from my card.
Update: I have spoken to checkmycar this morning and they have agreed to issue a refund within 7 days. I will update further once I receive the refund.

Dear Ian,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry for the frustration caused by the subscription and, more importantly, for the technical difficulties you encountered with your report and account access.
While our 48-hour trial for £5.95 is designed to provide quick access to vehicle data followed by a premium subscription, it is clear that in your case, the service did not perform as expected. If you are unable to see your report or your subscription status in your dashboard, we need to investigate this immediately as a priority technical matter.
We do not want you to pay for a service you cannot access. Please contact our senior support team directly at contact@checkmycar.io or call us at +44 20 4579 8987 (Mon–Sat, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.). Mention this review, and we will manually locate your report and settle the billing issue to your satisfaction.
Our goal is to ensure you feel fairly treated. If we can resolve these technical and billing hurdles for you, would you be open to reconsidering your review?
Best regards,

Misleading subscription
I purchased a vehicle check for £5.95, believing it was a one‑off payment.
Shortly after, a £39.90 subscription charge was applied without my clear consent.
When I logged into my account, there was no clear or accessible option to cancel the subscription — the only option was to download the report.
I have disputed the charge with my bank, and the subscription has now been cancelled.
I am sharing this to warn other consumers to check carefully before signing up, as the pricing and cancellation are not transparent.

Duped into a subscription service
Found this company online, whilst looking to purchase a used car a few months ago.
Quality of the reports where okay and showed the information needed, however the way the company delivers it's pricing structure is appalling, I had no idea they where charging me a monthly service.
It isn't clear until it's too late and you find transactions leaving your account for £39.90, there is no warning and even now as I have gone back to re read the pricing it still isn't clear that they are tying you into a subscription.
I was under the impression that the charge would be either 5.95 for a single report or £39.90 for a full month's access to use the report service, not, as was the case, an ongoing subscription service that you cannot cancel within the website.
It turns out I have paid a total of £165.55 for 8 reports I ran between 9/10/25-8/11/25
I noticed £5.95 and £39.90 leave my account and believed that was acceptable, but thought nothing more of it, I have just noticed a further 3x £39.90 payments have left my account without my consent.
I have emailed the company and hope they will resolve the matter swiftly by refunding the 3x £39.90 payments.
Such a shame because the service is pretty good, but the way you are tricked into the subscription without proper safety protocols and procedures is very poor.
Hopefully they can rectify this.
Update 30/1/2026
Received an email from chdckmycar.io to say the subscription has been cancelled, however I am yet to receive a refund for some of the payments made.
It appears that I am not alone in this situation and hope they can resolve the matter swiftly.

If I could give zero stars I would
If I could give zero stars I would. We were signed up to a £39.90 subscription without our consent - we received no subscription agreement or explanation on how to terminate. On calling to query the charge, explaining that this is in breach of Consumer Rights and Trading Standards, the call operator was unprofessional and rude - and at several points raised his voice during the call. The operator refused to explain the refund process or how long it would take. When I explained that I would hold the line whilst they checked the process, they went silent and refused to engage in any further conversation. They refused to give me their name and simply kept the line open, staying silent.
