Superb service

This is a review for a branch of CBL Data Recovery based at North Shields, UK. My laptop failed without warning last week. I initially took it to a computer repair shop in Durham, but they made the situation worse. CBL Data Recovery was recommended to me by an IT expert at work. Within a few hours of submitting my device, John had diagnosed the problem and provided a quote for fixing it. Despite damage or corruption to the hard drive, John was able to recover all my files within 48 hours. All the files have their original filenames and are saved in the correct folders, so I haven't had to spend any time organising them. It's been a huge relief to recover my data. John was friendly, straightforward and professional throughout.

Special thanks to 'John' at CBL in Royal Quays.

Hope this makes its way to 'John' at CBL in Royal Quays, North Shields. External drive failure. All the data recovered within one week and that's first contact to picking the recovered data up. Really pleased with the friendly and professional service. It ain't cheap but got the job done. Thanks again.

They kept my hard drive for 35 weeks

They kept my hard drive for 35 weeks! Over 8 months. Claiming to be working on it. I felt powerless. What could I do. I couldn’t even prove they were a real company. I paid 300 usd and they kept it over 8 months. Could be a new world record.

Superior Company

Hello Bruno,
I am totally speechless...You and the technicians at CBL are AMAZING. You were 100% correct when you said the missing 2% might be just empty space. . Those were links to data that does not exist.
So, in reality, I believe 100% of the data was recovered. Thank you for keeping me posted on the progress to recover my data.
There are no words to express my appreciation for a job well done.
Please share my appreciation to all who were involved in the recovery mission.
God bless you, the technicians and your fantastic company,
David in Virginia

I consulted for them 20 years ago

I consulted for them 20 years ago, recovering data from various Unix system storage devices. They were corrupt and underhanded. I suspect them of being a front for a federal security service associated with Five-Eyes agencies.

Retrieved the complete data in a matter of days

A few months ago, one of our company's desktops got infected by ransomware. The attacker demanded a huge amount to decrypt the data. We consulted Data Recovery CBL to get rid of this unforeseen issue. They retrieved the complete data in a matter of days and made all our systems virus and malware-proof for the future. I appreciate the skills and dedication of the team.

Worth every penny!

My SSD got severely damaged after I accidentally dropped it from the fourth floor of our university campus. After seeing its condition, I had no hope of the data coming back. But surprisingly the Data Recovery CBL team still retrieved 70% of the data. Their service was worth every penny! Thank you guys, for the recovery job.
