Deposit Protection Service Reviews 

I had a problem with negotiating the website and then needed to amend something. I emailed the company and both times, received prompt replies which resolved my issues which put my mind at ease.

Excellent assistance from Aran who guided me through the process of resetting an old account

Professional and competent assistance provided by Mikee who assisted me in inputting to the system.

Awful company! Do put your money there people who work there they do not have any clue for anything, Horrible company AVOID THEM! They do not want give the deposit back!

Keeps getting removed as if we don’t have a say in expressing our feeling towards this organisation, and overall service !

Review should not be deleted !

Went back to the phone and to say the experience and over service received by that so called self serving manager Sharon was beyond pathetic and horrendous. How does an organisation like this employ such a poor serviced individual like this is beyond me. Avoid at all cost!

A special thanks to Tracey K for her kind and helpful assistance earlier today. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and attentive to our concerns. Thank you so much for everything. Dr. Singh

Had a dispute with my landlord/agent over a “dirty” oven and a scratched windowsill. I provided evidence, including a video taken on move-in day showing the oven in the same condition as at check-out. Because the file was too large, I had to upload it to YouTube, which removed the date metadata.

The oven was clean but old, and the windowsill had scratches (not dirt). I didn’t note these in the inventory at the time, and since there were no photos or mentions of them, my evidence was basically ignored. The windowsill wasn’t listed at all, so it was treated as if it was in perfect condition.

Even though I submitted more evidence than the landlord, they still awarded 60% of the disputed amount to them.

This raises a concern: is it really the tenant’s responsibility to document every single imperfection in a property? In an old home, some level of wear and tear is expected. However, it seems tenants are expected to identify and record every scratch or mark in detail, or risk being held liable later.

Seems like some landlords/agents take advantage of weak inventories, knowing deposit schemes often favour them if tenants haven’t documented everything.

Their website is a problem- regularly can't access it. Life's too short for poor tech.

Easy to use

Easy to use and straightforward instructions to guide you through the system.

I got my deposit on tiem after my lease ended.

Very effective. No unnecessary problems

Surprisingly easy and straightforward to apply. All information was given in the guide to follow and explaination on the process.

The process was very simple and my deposit was returned quickly. There was an option to take the interest earnt on the deposit or give it to charity, which was good.
