Spoke to Lisa earlier today who who talked me through the issues I was having navigating the options on the website. She was courteous, professional and friendly. She was not in a hurry to get the call over with and made sure I understood what I was doing. Thank you Lisa, you’re a credit to your employer.
A complete waste of time
A complete waste of time. I was looking for a company to carry out credit checks for my subcontractors and came across ucheck. It seemed like it would do the job so I tried getting one check done before asking for the relevant info from all the subcontractors. I am glad I did because I started the process at the end of April and 2 months later the actual checking part hasn't even started yet. I've been asked to approve the application a number of times which I have done yet I'm still being asked to approve one thing or another. Total time wasters.

Mixed
My issues was resolved and Nick was very helpful. However, when I was waiting for the response the chat kept saying "as they had not heard from me it was going to be ended", even after just a few minutes, this was not very helpful

Friendly and Professional Assistance from Sharna
I called to ask about the process after receiving a clear DBS result, and Sharna was great at explaining the next steps. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain all the procedures, making the process easy to understand. Excellent customer service and very helpful throughout.
Great service
Excellent, professional and helpful service with my DBS application today from Sharna.
I went to U-Check Help Team with a question regarding the DBS application level I should make
I went to U-Check Help Team with a question as an employer, regarding permission to request an Enhanced DBS for a new role we are creating. Whilst I studied all the literature, new roles can be borderline between Basic and Enhanced. Once I had studied all aspects internally, I reached out for advice and Alexandra was brilliant and qualified the role with a key aspect in the title within hours. This means I can go ahead smoothly without the too/fro scenario I have experienced in similar situations with other agencies. Thank you, Alexandra,!

Terrible service for enhanced DBS
Terrible service for enhanced DBS checks as you can see with other comments. They maybe alright for standard ones. It took a lot of back and forth for them to realise that working with vulnerable children would require enhanced checks. Then my application was rejected on the shininess of my passport photo which I could clearly see was fine. Then they couldn't do anything because they outsource their photographic checks to another company and so then only offered a partial refund and said I would have to start everything from scratch. Offloading that part of process (checking the photo) to some other company and then trying to use that as a justification for not providing a full refund is a bit of a scam. Best to avoid for enhanced DBS checks.
Correction: Wow they even dispute your reviews saying they're for another company. So lots of negative reviews will have been taken off Trustpilot. I have never seen that before! Avoid!!!!!
