Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed satisfaction with the staff, describing them as helpful, professional, and responsive. People appreciated the clear explanations and timely assistance received, which often helped them navigate the process smoothly and resolve issues efficiently. The quick response times to inquiries were also frequently highlighted as a positive aspect of their experience. However, some people were dissatisfied with the payment process, citing unexpected charges, unclear costs, and issues with recurring charges. There were also concerns about the service itself, with some customers feeling that the process was not straightforward, especially for sole traders, and that the website was not always clear. A few other people also felt that the only way to make direct contact was through a ticket system, leading to delays and generic responses.

SCAMMER ALERT!!!!

ClearCheck is a SCAM. Initially I paid them the fee for processing my document which I could only get 25GBP refunded. I also asked them to cancel the DUMB PREMIUM CLOUD SERVICE and got the confirmation from them. I just checked my bank account and got 8GBP deducted from ClearCheck.

TRULY THE MOST DISPICABLE AND DISGUSTING SERVICE I HAVE EVER USED. Their customer service is SH*T!!!!

I only wish I could report to some authority to shut down this company, so people avoid losing their money.

ClearCheck, if you are reading this, you's better refund my money for the Cloud one because I sure will ask my bank to block that transaction!!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT TO DONATE THEM £88 for free!!!!!

If I could give 0 stars, I would.

You will be auto signed up to pay a recurring £8-18 monthly fee for cloud subscription (YOU DO NOT NEED THIS! - I CANT BELIEVE I WAS SO STUPID AS TO NOT READ FINE PRINT)

It should cost £22 for a bsic disclosure CRB check.

Clearcheck charge you £86.50 AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY A FURTHER £16.80 to get docs verified online

For a random google search ,I accidentally click their dbs check which would have completed by my organisation for free ,They took around £106 from me tried to contact them immediately no answer ,found their contact details contacted through website -they created a premium account without my permission and continously deducting money from it I cant see a direct debit or standing on my my bank account-never recieved
a refund -fake organization cheating people ;I wanted to complaint officially help me
Addendum on27/2
They contacted and said I have agreed for a premium service for the service I wasn’t used -how come this happened without my permission ?

They are a fake service; I need my complete refund back otherwise I will report this to authorities -I don’t need their service which I explained within few hours at my initial contact when I realised they are fraud ; I never needed their service which I told at the first place. You can’t steal the money from me for the service which I wasn’t used. I didn’t use your service.It’s a fake cheating ai app to steal money from people I will do another review on trust pilot,already reported as fraud.No one can complete a government service of dbs within 24 hours without investigation an utter fake ai built app to cheat people just look at your reviews. I wonder why no one reported to UK government to file against you in court;I am going to do that if you don’t return my money back

Over charged me, deceived me

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!, Clear check is an absolute rip off, if you check online (which I unfortunately did not do until it was too late) there is a maximum amount(42.50£) for a 'Basic DBS check' I ordered an enhanced DBS Check with a fast service charge of 15£.Half way through the process I was diverted to another site to prove my address at the cost of 12.50£ for one attempt or 25£ for 3 attempts, this is when alarm bells started going off, and yes as sure as the sun rises this is also a rip off,
The total bill I paid was 101.50£ and only got a basic check, after complaining I was told that I only ordered a basic check!! This is so wrong in so many ways. Do yourself a favor and do not use this company for anything!
When I got fed up with emailing back and forth I called the "customer service" number which is from 2019 and going on about covid etc, this is an AI powered business which is only out to rip you off, I will be persuing this further through my solicitor and also the government watchdog services and will not stop until I get a prosecution of this company bieng a scam, you have been warned.

Hi Jane, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear this has been your experience. We’ve tried to locate an application under your details, but the information provided on Trustpilot only included a first name, so we haven’t been able to identify anything on our system.
If you could respond to the Trustpilot information request with your full details, we’ll be able to look into this properly and review what happened.

Funny story

Funny story. I wanted a basic DBS check done so filled it all out and then of course I had to pay. I understood that it was £18, at least that is what the website mentioned.

Now I'm funny with these things so I always have the exact amount that needs to be paid and wow, was I happy that I only had 18 in my account because I got slapped with £78.50 LOL for a basic DBS check.

The irony, it's a criminal check and then you get an actual criminal experience hahahahahaha
