According to them, they charge $1 for their service but they said (fine print which I didn't see) a charge of $23.95 MONTHLY which I didn't see. They racked it to for 16 mos of my money but only give me back 4mos. Bewared of their hidden fees, if there's one. SCAMS!!!
Similar to other reports, the website said you can get a complete report of vehicle history for $1, but then on a sidebar so you wouldn't notice, it said you are signing up for 24 payments of $18.95, "cancel anytime". To top that off, when the report came, it was only bare bones info about the vehicle available from free sites, rather than a detailed history. The only thing they did right was to give me a refund and cancel future payments when I complained.
Original web search was Free download of a report.
After "download" was ready, a "nominal" $1.00 processing fee was required to release it. After processing by the credit card, it was allegedly available, but it actually was not.
I checked with my credict card and fouond an $18.95 charge pending.
I called the company, they gave me a choice of getting the report or refunding my money. I took the later option. The refund came through immediately on my credit card company's records.
No harm done, except a complete waste of time. Customer Service appologized for the "misunderstanding". (No, $18.95 was not mentioned, What was mentioned was Free and then $1.00, and no product was immediately made available. If I hadn't checked with my credit card company I'd have been none the wiser.
I believe Customer Service was trying to say the $1.00 was a credit to be applied to the regular $19.95 price, which wasn't mentioned.
NOTES: I was drawn to the site as www.carhistory.online; but the charge to my credit card was in the name of usvindata.com.
Yes, I got my money back, but the bait of a full report for Free/$1.00 was fraudulent IMO.
