How to Cancel a checkcar.vin Subscription

Reviewers report that a small checkcar.vin report fee (often €1.99) can convert into a much larger recurring charge within days. Here’s how to cancel, how to dispute charges with your bank, and how to avoid this kind of trap.

Checking out a specific vehicle?

Run its VIN for accidents, title brands, liens and recalls — $19.99.

Why you’re being charged

According to Trustpilot complaints, checkcar.vin advertises a low-cost report with a short trial (reported as around 3 days). Reviewers say it then bills a large recurring fee — frequently cited near €99.99 — and that the cancellation process is unclear.

How to cancel your checkcar.vin subscription

To stop further charges:

  • Log into your checkcar.vin account and look for any subscription or billing cancellation option.
  • Email their support to request cancellation in writing and ask for confirmation — keep a copy.
  • Because reviewers report continued charge attempts, contact your bank to block the merchant.
  • If you can’t remove your card from the account, ask your bank to issue a new card number.

How to dispute the charge

If support refuses a refund or keeps charging your card, dispute the transactions with your bank or card issuer and request a chargeback. Provide screenshots of the advertised price and any terms, plus your cancellation emails.

Avoid VIN-report traps next time

Use a report with a single, transparent price and no surprise billing. A single Vektracer report is a one-time $19.99 — no subscription required and no hidden auto-renewal (an optional monthly plan for frequent buyers is priced up front and cancellable anytime).
