A good experience
Séamus was professional and accomodating to my questions. I managed to solve my enquiry into my deposit but also update my contact details. Thank you. Update: called up to activate my account. Mikee was very informative and supportive. I have been signposted to websites like justicefortenants.org to know my legal rights before handling the return of my deposit. Thank you both, really appreciate it.

Full appreciation for the DPS and their team
We have been working with DPS for over 12 years and have consistently found their processes and systems easy to use and follow. Throughout this time, we have always had a dedicated account handler who has been polite, informative, and extremely helpful.
We have been particularly pleased with how DPS continuously adapts and refines its systems to align with agents’ needs and changes in regulations. We also greatly appreciate the work they carried out around the Renters Reform Act (RRA), as well as the helpful webinars delivered in collaboration with the GLA and Susie Crolla.

Agent Charlie patient and understanding after the account holder died. We were jumping through hoops to sort out change of account holder and a deposit being returned. It was very difficult without her help.
Thanks to Customer Agent Ann !
Customer agent Ann gave me all the advice I needed for a multiple-tenant deposit dispute - she was very professional and I am now able to proceed with the remaining stages of the process with much more confidence.
Many thanks Ann !

What a relief!
The Advisor I spoke with (Samuel), made all the difference - reason why I am happy to submit this positivie review. Most importantly, Samuel cared enough to listen, was very polite and well-spoken, offered sufficient support and information which, altogether, I found very reassuring. Thanks to this telcon, I feel confident enough to say that the Deposit Protection Service is a safe, fair and just scheme.
