Not a true Carfax alt

Not a true Carfax alt. Didn't get full information on the cars I needed and they have sneaky recurring charges.o

ETA: I deleted my entire account to prevent more recurring charges and remove my info from their database. Will never use again, I’d rather pay the $40 for a car fax.
