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.
Site is an absolute scam. RUN AWAY. The $1 report produced absolutely nothing. Then, canceling the subscription is absolutely impossible. If you call, they tell you to ask the chat bot. If you chat, they tell you to email. In the email they send you to a link that doesn't work. SCAM. SCAM. SCAM.
Very similar situation here as other reviewer. Firstly I was lied by their $1 report and this is how they charged me for 3/2 service:
3/2 Trackthevin $1
3/2 Trackthevin $29.95
3/2 Budget Vehicle Reports $1
3/5 Budget Vehicle Reports $4.95
3/17 Findtheirreport $1
What's up with all these different merchant names and these random dates of charges EVEN AFTER THE CANCELLATION OF THE SERVICE was done immediately in 3/2?
TOTAL SCAM! STAY AWAY! AND REPORT!
Tip for consumers:

USED CAR HISTORY REPORT USING VIN
Same story as every other review... wish I would have checked here first. Luckily my bank detected the fraud before they got any money. Just stay away from this site.
Do not use this site! It is total scam. False advertising. They advertise car history report for $1, but you will be charged $29.95 I have notified my bank to stop payment.
Fast, easy to use, no hassling. Options for more information
Very easy quick way to get info on car before purchase
The service is so quick and efficient plus affordable too
Nowhere does it say anything about a report costing more than $1.00. Turns out, once you order a report for $1.00, the immediately charge you $29.95 for a membership. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE
They advertise that it will only cost $1, but I was immediately charged $29.95. Do NOT use this service!
Tip for consumers:
This service lies to get money.

They stole my money a thieving business
I paid money and did not get results many times. I did not receive any service, this is theft
It's a total scam. We've agreed on $1 and they tried charging me $29.95. Glad my credit card block it. Don't fall for this BS
This company needs to be shut down IMMEDIATELY...Not only do they pop up in a Google search as "free" but, then, they list their cost per one vehicle history report as $1 each...UNTIL, you reach the checkout page where they sneakily add a small note that the $1 initial deposit will be followed by a $29.95 bi-weekly subscription.
Per FTC's ROSCA guidelines, subscription disclosures must be "clear and conspicuous" but, more specifically, a "visual disclosure, by its size, contrast, location, the length of time it appears, and other characteristics, should stand out from any accompanying text or other visual elements so that it is easily noticed, read, and understood"...Furthermore, the FTC defines an "inadequate disclosure" as "one where the consumer sees an offer upfront, in an electronic or written advertisement or on the landing page of a website, which is materially different from the terms of the offer presented in later stages, such as later web pages, of the ordering process" - this definition is the complete OPPOSITE of how this company conducts itself.
ABSOLUTELY UNETHICAL AND DISPICABLE. Honestly, they don't even deserve the ONE star rating.
Tip for consumers:
Unless you change your debit/credit card number, they will continue to charge you over and over again (under various company names) EVEN IF they've told you that your subscription has been cancelled...Some of these sister company names include: Track The Gene, FindTheirReport, TrackThatReport, ProReports, ValueReportEasy, Jammin Enterprises LLC, EXEC Vin Results, Citizen Scanner, TrackTheVin, TrackVinReport, Budget Vehicle Report and so on.

Wanted to purchase the $1 vehicle history report but the vendor automatically added on a $29.95 bi-weekly subscription service without my consent.
This website is a complete scam. Best of luck getting a hold of anyone. The report was useless as others have said. Please avoid
