Fraudulent Company
I have received a letter this morning from hpicheck requesting information on a car they state I previously owned from 2012-2016. I have actually only owned the car since 2018.
The letter also states someone is interested in buying the car but as I'm not selling it I don't see how this is possible!
They had 2 wrong addresses on the letter against my name so how I got the letter is surprising in itself.
They also state the car has previously had a different registration when it has not.
I would avoid this company at all costs.

Car Analytics HPI Service - Avoid this company at all cost . They provided me with the wrong data and now I’ve purchased the car have blamed Experian or the DVLA even after admitting they had made a typo . I now have a car I would not have pursued and the have offered free future HPI checks should I purchase another car as recompense Appalling Service !!!!!

An essential car buying tool.
I cannot emphasise strongly enough the good sense in ensuring an HPI Check is carried out on a prospective purchase. There are many perils and pitfalls with car buying and they can be safely negotiated by carrying out an HPI.

Total piece of mind :-)
For that complete piece of mind that the vehicle you are thinking of buying or have already bought, HPI checking is by far the best!
