We are aware of a vin reporting website that continues to bill customers after an initial £1 or £0.99 report.

That website domain is: www.vin-reports.co

The payment may look like this on your statement:

vinreportsco

vin-reports.co

vin-reports.co is nothing to do with this website (VinReport.co.uk), just the name is a little similar, so shows in the search results when looking for the original website.

By the accepted definition, vin-reports.co can be considered a Scam Website.

 

What You Must Do

If you are still being billed, you must report the issue to your bank/card issuer as a unauthorized charge. You need to emphasis that vin-reports.co has been removed by the web host, thus you have no recourse with them. Your bank may refund you and stop further payments.

Your bank may instruct you to first contact the website to cancel and refund the payments. As the website is gone, you have no control over future payments from your account. This is why you must emphasis to your bank the website is no longer available, so you have no resolution with them.

 

In Summary

1. vin-reports.co continues to bill customers after an initial £1 or £0.99 Vin report.

2. You must report the issue to your bank/card issuer as a unauthorized charge.

3. Please emphasis vin-reports.co is no longer available, so you cannot contact them to cancel future payments.

In Closing

I hope this information is helpful to you.

This website - https://www.vinreport.co.uk - does not charge for a basic VIN report. Extended reports (at cost) are by our partner, carVertical, which is a well-known and trusted company within the vehicle space and can be used safely by UK motorists.
