Just use mytextcheck, it's only £3 text the reg to 83600. All the hpi checks use the same data. I've used them a few times and have had good service when there was a problem too.

Steve are they really the same as an RAC £20 jobbie?

I had heard that they don't check as much, its been over 10 years since i bought a car so am out of practice!

I've found the text checks to be fine. A lot of the stuff you get on a real HPI is pointless - someone put a personalised plate on 5 years ago etc. What you want to know is if it's been written off and if it's been nicked. And that's what you find out for £3.

Best thing for me is that it's become worthwhile to do these on cheap cars.

However, you don't seem to get credit checks on them, so if it's pretty modern, you might want to try another service.

Quick google says that https://www.mycarcheck.com/ do check for credit...
