I paid for the $1 report, which only gave the same info I received from the national site. I tried canceling via email the same day as well as with chat bot on website. Gave # to call. I responded I didn't have time to call. Website states you can cancel via those methods as well as calling. 7th day, I had a charge for $29.95. I emailed again, said call the number. I did, canceled and immediately disconnected. I called back to talk about refund, cause I already canceled 7 days prior. No answers. I left msg. Tried email but no response. Used chat bot on site and said to wait 24 hrs for them to investigate refund. This site is a total rip off. Lack of info in reports and charging after cancelation.
This company is extremely difficult to work with and the website appears to be set up to trick customers. Originally the name appears as VINhistoryUSA, everything else comes as CarInfoStory. Nothing functioned correctly on the site except taking your money. I received a text saying the report is ready with a link and nothing happened. There was an option to download which appeared to be free and as soon as you click on it a message appears for 2 seconds showing another $1 charge. I am busy caretaking of my daughter and granddaughter who both have disabilities but as soon as I saw I was being charged for the the subscription I called to request a refund and the recording states no one is available to take your call after being on hold for a bit. PayPal recommends emailing the company and I did only to receive an email replying to call to request a refund! Again, cannot get a live person and same message 2 more times no one is available! I did not want to automatically press to cancel the subscription because I want a full refund as I did not receive a report and the link did not work. I finally pressed 1 and cancelled. Worst experience ever.
So much for immediate and hassle free cancelation policy that they advertise on the site. The information I received on the one report I needed wasn't even accurate. I have been trying to cancel for an hour. I keep getting the run around. I was sent to an email from the chat, then sent to call a number that just keeps cutting me off.
Pretty good experience. Somewhat disappointed that you have to pony up additional dollars for more data.
Report does not show any car history,not even amount of owners
Easy to use and got the results I needed. I was buying a car and I entered the vin for history and I received quick results. I definitely recommend it.
From the article I read which said you offered free vin lookup, I expected just that. After paying a nominal fee, I expected more than I got, which was minimal. I never got all the information I needed.
Don't buy a car before you inform your self and this website is the one that is going to help you with that
This was the perfect place to look up accident details of a vehicle I was interested in buying. I was able to find out what I wanted. Definitely recommend
Was able to look up a vehicle I was interested in buying and able to read the accident details. Was very happy
Entered in the required Vin # and within seconds had all the information I was looking for! Cost me only $2 Dollars! That's it!
Thanks guys!
Never got the email I paid for
The site said they would email the report never got it
Looked up a prospective purchase and discovered it was a good deal. Just got my new to me Mazda CX-9 back from my mechanic who assures me I made a smart buy!)
Thank you very much. The report was easy to understand with all the details presented in a more easy to understand way. I really liked it and would love to try it again in the near future
They collect the information very well, showed it with cheap promotion.
I searched two cars, first one via plate number and the second other one via vin.
Vin research worked pretty well.
But plate number, as soon as I paid for the membership right after I search the first car and saw that the report is ready. There was nothing.
Even if they sent another link that I can get the free record. I still doubt that was the best they could.
It won't let me cancel the membership. Customer service doesn't reply via email.
Found the info I needed right away. Everything was easy to use and up front about any additional costs. Thanks!
Good experience, very fast. Used it to look up a car I was buying
Great experience, very quick. Exactly what they advertised.
