“littleor no information”

★☆☆☆☆

written by martync118 on 31/08/2017

text these people to check on any outstanding finance on a car. came back with all the information I did not want or need, and missing the info regarding finance. total waste of time and money, if I knew who they were I would ask for a refund. stay away totally useless site, pay a bit more and get your moneys worth. very disappointing. rang the finance company myself and sorted it. pay more get the real deal stay away from these amateurs, its a worthless text of no real value.

“You get what you pay for!!! Don't expect much!”

★★☆☆☆

written by 295Rodgers on 24/03/2017

So, its cheap and cheerful. But be aware, the website is missleading, I paid £4 for finance to be included, and like others have said, it is asking for £5 more for the finance. It also is not listing anything for mileage. Therefore, its a bit shady and thus makes you question how accurate it is? It's a glorified service that is not worth much, only thing it told me I didn't know was the Vin number and that it wasn't written off. If I was buying something over 5K I would def not recommend but for something under, then I guess its ok, but still not great!

“Misleading website - avoid”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 498Bentley on 30/10/2015

Paid £4 for service and reply omitted comments regarding finance outstanding and mileage. Subsequent text asked for £5 more for Outstanding Finance check and £3 for the mileage. I feel cheated. I won't usr this service again and recommend others avoid it.

“rip off”

★☆☆☆☆

written by mwhite01 on 25/05/2015

They lead you to believe they check hpi but don't. They don't supply any more than DVLA do for free. HPI is another £5

“misleading advert ”

★★☆☆☆

written by faz44max on 27/02/2015

On the main site it quoted that the search will include outstanding finance which is the main reason I done the hpi check. But after I received the texts it say I have to pay another 5 pounds for finance check. The information they sent me is all available on.the dvla site.

Don't bother, use the DVLA site it's free. No finance checks, which is what most people want, and anything else is free with DVLA, do save you pennies and don't use these misleading people.

You wasted your hard earned cash use the DVLA for free. This company use misleading information to get your money, you pay £5.00 extra for finance information, sounds very close to fabrication of the truth.

“Mileage all kinds of wrong”

★★★★☆

written by tobytoby5 on 04/10/2013

The mileage on the car I am about to by has just come back from textreg check and it is way out. Im not even going to argue it with the seller, just not touching the car now. Make sure you check a car before you buy it so you dont get burnt

You can get all this information free by going on the DVLA web site, and it is much more accurate and up to date. All this site does is copy this information and send it to you at a price.

“Excellent Result!!”

★★★☆☆

written by areyganuk on 03/10/2013

I sent off for a textreg report today with some reservations, I had bought a car last week and for some reason had some niggling doubts about its authenticity. I am happy to report that textreg came back as all clear!! Very pleased!

“Second time i've used textreg”

★★★★★

written by raybrier on 02/10/2013

This is now the second time i've used textreg to check out a car. This time was just as quick as the last and the info was just as good, staying away from the car now as the report just doesn't match what the seller is telling me.

Three Goods for textreg!! Helped me out in my hour of need, saw a second hand car on my lunch break at a price that was more than reasonable, did a textreg check and the text came back straight away. One trip to the bank later and the car was mine within the hour!

“Mileage wrong”

★★★☆☆

written by tracymiddleton on 02/10/2013

Did a mileage check with textreg last night on a car i bought 2 weeks ago. Turns out the mileage is way out, spoke to the garage this morning and they have agreed to take the car back and refund me.  Glad I did the check now, just wish I had done it before though

Why do you use a misleading advert, that suggests you are offering all the things in the list including finance checks, very low sales tactics, you offer a worthless service at £3.99 that can be obtained free of charge on the DVLA web site? Shame on you. Please send me details of how I can obtain a refund.

I sent a text the other day and I haven't had any answers except one text to say please pay an additional £2.50 to check finance history. Has anyone else had this experience?
