New to the land of invention, and therefore to the technology-hungry pages of your favourite compare cheap car insurer, positively salivating at the prospect of juicy new titbits, is something involving texting. 99% of the populace have access to what's termed in Blairite Britain as a mobile phone (and those that don't, tend to borrow other peoples, only forgetting to hand them back); that's according to the power of research. A source of fascinating facts and figures that this cheap car insurer doesn't take lightly. A marginally lower percentage of Britons have access to a motor vehicle, (hopefully a cheaply insured car version of the popular means of getting from A - B) the remainder just walk. Occasionally though those who fancy changing their motor vehicle (cheaply insured car variant or not) for another, often newer/faster/more economical/larger/smaller/better equipped motor vehicle; and those fed up with wearing their soles out, find themselves thrown headlong into the highly competitive market of car purchasing. A gladiatorial arena if ever there was, where it's every man/woman for him/herself. And there's hidden dangers at every turn. Always one unscrupulous seller looking to get one over the unsuspecting, dare I say it, naïve person with money to spend.
There are of course many ways to spot this type of person, the most foolproof being the language test. If the over-familiarity that is the word 'mate' enters into the initial conversation then stand well back. As this latest acquaintance is neither your mate, nor someone who you'd wish were, at any time. He simply wants nothing more than to relieve you of your cash in exchange for the crumby motor he can't off-load onto any one else who's sussed both him and his dodgy motor out. Don't fall for it. If you do find yourself faltering, tell him you're going to take time out. And grab that mobile phone I mentioned earlier and call the police immediately. Not the actual police, as they wont be in anyway, but TextCheck. But first, and in order to do this, you must have a TextCheck Access Card. And why would you want to do this? Simple. Because it allows you, the potential buyer of second hand vehicles the opportunity to check the proposed vehicles history right then and there. Wherever you happen to be standing. This unique system of uncovering duds and exposing rogues and cheats has previously been at the disposal of those on a need to know basis. Like the police, insurers, DVLA, the sort of people that the police, insurers, DVLA employees would call important. Now though, you and me can out the wrong do'ers ourselves. Stopping short of giving us the platform to make a citizens arrest, The TextCheck system will allow you to instantly search the DVLA and police databases to ascertain whether the model you're negotiating over with your new found 'mate' is straight. Legit. Kosher. Pukka. Or, as is more likely the scenario - damaged, scrapped, stolen, imported, or just written off according to official records. Which would be a bit of a bummer would it not?
TextCheck Access Cards are available from all good retailers (and some mediocre ones) priced £3. Each and every card has an access number which is printed on the back of the card, skulking beneath a scratch-off strip, similar to the type you find on the surface of Lotto Scratch cards. All you have to do is text the number you find to TextCheck and then you'll receive a message back requesting you to forward the registration number of the vehicle you're running the rule over. TextCheck will then text back the relevant details of the vehicle specified and crucially its pedigree. Texts are charged at your network provider's standard rate and it's suggested you get permission from the bill payer before you use this service. But I'm assuming that's you, so unless you're schizophrenic, don't act upon this. Instead, call 0161 929 9629 for further, informed information.
