Noticed my card was due for renewal - logged in but no option to renew - the yellow banner that I was advised would be visible was missing - emailed DDS and eventually - after the card was now void, they suggested some steps - which did not work, another email saying they were sorry - others had "technical problems" when failing to renew - fault was in the DDS system but could I give them info like make of my pc -OS and any software that might be a problem....if DDS say the problem is their system then the problem is not my system - so why ask about MY system!!!!
DDS seems to be both BLR and BER
No way am I wasting any more effort on a useless system - I specialised in Administrative Efficiency and Accuracy - it was a core component of my job.
Not renewing - even if I could

After many failed attempts to reapply for my DDS I decided to create a new account, however this also failed. I emailed DDS and was contacted by Rhiannon who immediately started to rectify the issue, a few emails later my account was sorted. I would like to thank Rhiannon for the prompt and professional way in dealing with my issue.
Regards
Steve

I could not apply or pay for the card using my account. After contacting support several times with different issues, John gave excellent advice and guidance. The service and communication could not be faulted. Good job - thank you, the card has now gone to print.
A great website. Got help from John after discount codes weren’t working. Resolved within 24hours and kept informed throughout.
