Hidden fees in online car valuation services in Finland
In recent months, Finlands European Consumer Centre (ECC) has received around 100 consumer inquiries concerning the car valuation service Autoasihinta.fi. The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority, KKV has also reported similar complaints. The service, operated by the Latvian company Datatech SIA, has reportedly billed consumers €169 unexpectedly, often surprising those who believed the service was free. Some consumers have even received bills without completing their orders.
