Hi Stephanie, thank you for sharing this. I’m glad we were able to get things sorted quickly for you, and it’s great to hear the support was helpful.
Website was difficult to navigate…
Website was difficult to navigate resulting in having to purchase a business account as a sole trader and still not being able to apply for the CRD check I needed. Then when I did find a link to apply, it was charged at over £100 and again wasn't enhanced as needed despite it saying they offer enhanced DBS checks. A huge waste of money! Customer services are only accessible via chat which then takes 3-4 days to get back to you, which meant this has been a prolonged event that I don't have time for as a busy professional. I would just avoid them! I have cancelled any transactions I have

Hi Kevin, thank you for your kind words. We’re glad to hear the service was efficient and excellent once again. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
APPALLING - Advice was too confusing.
Everything.
Took too long.
Nearly all automated.
System very much AI based.
Staff i spoke with were totally baffling in what they were trying to explain.
I felt like i need 5 A Level in DBS?
We cancelled and as of yet over 4 weeks later we still have not had a refund of which we were promised.
We have looked at refunds etc and neither our company nor some personnel that paid privately seem to have been refunded based upon what we were told.
Therefore we need full clarification please. We were given. They paid Apostillonline over £240?
With regards to the other payments refunded back and the ARN numbers given. We cannot locate these payment has being refunded approx £289????

Hi John, thank you for your update. Trustpilot isn’t a support channel, so we’re not able to resolve account‑specific issues from here. To get the best level of support, please reply directly to the email chain you already have open with our customer support team, or give us a call. That’s the only way we can review your case properly and provide full clarification.
Continuing to update the review won’t move things forward, but our team can help as soon as you get back in touch through the correct channel.
Great Customer Service
Kathryn was an amazing help with the DBS application process and helped correct any errors and issued I had. Thank you very much for all your help :)

It’s a shame 0 stars is not possible
It’s a shame 0 stars is not possible. This company has taken almost a year to complete a single DBS for us. We moved provider and have the rest of our company all completed in weeks or a couple of months. The only DBS we have outstanding for our employees is this one- which was started first.
Poor communication via their portal. Did manage to speak with an advisor and answered their questions. 2 months later we have now been reset and back to asking the same questions I answeeed previously.

Hi Thomas, thank you for sharing this feedback. I’m really sorry for the delays and the repeated questions you’ve experienced. That’s not the level of clarity or consistency we want for anyone going through a DBS check.
As we haven’t received a response to our Trustpilot information request, we’re currently unable to assist without your application details. If you still need help, please reply to that request or email our support team directly at support@crbdirect.org.uk so we can look into this for you.
