Like other reviewers, I thought that I was paying $1 for a single VIN report and that is all I needed. The report was fine but I was surprised to see my CC being charged $18.95 a month thereafter. Took me a few months to discover it, so, I basically have paid $57 for one report. I have called to cancel and will wait to see if they quit charging. Notably, they did not apologize nor offer to give me my money back. I don't know how many people are getting scammed this way, nor do I know how the ownership can sleep at night with this scam.

Went to CarHistoryCalifornia.us.org. They promised a decent carfax type report of liens miles and ownership plus accident history for $1.00. I acted as a guest not a membership. To get my report they required my street address first of all and then set up a box with my chosen email and a box for password. Huh? I got an agent who gave me a password. The report when I linked shown none of the information promised. I then found this site and learned that I had been signed up for recurring charges of $18.95 monthly. To add to this scam when I finally found their terms page buried in one of the first pages and under a different name than Carhistory the terms stated that they would also share my information with marketing affiliates. TOTAL SCAM site. In their terms they claim they inform throughout the site the access fees. FALSE. I contacted my card, the card people called the company and stayed on the phone while I told them off and had the fees refunded and the ongoing cancelled. My opinion is that it is actually fraud on their part. Run from all sites you see like this. They will take your money and give you little or nothing of value. DO NOT USE Also personally suspect any positive reviews here on that site are not real. There are ways to get around owner prohibitions.

I wrote a terrible review, but after I wrote to customer service they responded *immediately* and without any hassle at all refunded the full $19.95. I still think the site is deceptive (you think you're paying a dollar but the fine print says you are paying $19.95 monthly until you cancel), but they are an upstanding company.

I was unable to get any information about A) a car, B) myself, or C) a known felon, so I question how accurate their database is. YMMV

I signed up for this intending to get one month of reports for 18.95, Now I see that I have been getting charged 18.95 per month for the last 5 months. Each month the charge is shown as coming from a different company: Autohistorychecks.com, Autohistoryusa.com, OnlineCarReport.com, Cardatausa.com, Cardataonline.com. Apparently they are trying to hide that it is a repeating charge from the same company. Then I go the website, and find there is no way to close my account or stop the charges. SCAM!

They say they will provide you with a comprehensive driving report on someone for $1. This is a LIE. After paying the $1 they give you a very basic criminal history of what seems to be only felonies... absolutely nothing on a driving report. EVEN WORSE, they don't ask enough information about who you are searching for before you pay the $1. As soon as you pay, they give you 50 results (none of them being the correct person) and don't give you a way to search again. Upon contacting customer service they tell me I can print out something, mail it to the DMV with a fee, send the company both receipts and wait 2 weeks for my refund. I told them this was even more ridiculous and that their company was a scam, they then immediately refunded my credit card (they would not have done this if I did not complain as much as I did). This company survives on people unwittingly paying $1 and then not wanting to go through the two week effort of claiming their refund. DO NOT USE THIS SITE

Paid with CC # 1 = said declined although that was untrue. Entered CC#2 = declined at first, then accepted. Report was generated. Contained NO individual information on the VIN number I submitted. Just general base information on the car which I already had. Said there was no prior title or lien information which was completely untrue. They kept promising the fix the report and send it by email. Never received. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

The website is very detailed, and professional maintained. The only issue I came across, as most have, is the misleading contract terms. Customer Service Specialist, Brian honored this mishap, and refunded the initial 18.95 that I was charged for the first month of use. Aside from that, the detailed history report on the vehicle I am looking to buy was thorough, and precise. Thanks again to Brian, and Andy for handling the situation properly.

I ordered a report and was told it cost $1.00. I contacted on line report access and was told I agreed to the $18.95, which I did not. I think the $1.00 charge was only to see if the card account was valid so when the payment was processed I was charged $18.95 and not $1.00. I had to contact them on live chat because there is no phone or address, as would be expected in a scam. I was told they closed my account and removed the remaining charges of $18.95, but the original $18.95 apparently isn't being credited. I am going to pursue this farther. It is more the principal than the money. However, stealing $18.95 from every consumer requesting a report still adds up to big money.
