Exactly what I expect from a DPS
The service was good and got back my deposit promptly after the agent advised they are returning it in full. I hope to get my deposit protected in this scheme for my next rental.

I made an enquiry
I made an enquiry, why only part of the deposit i was claiming was paid. A guy named Stephen took my call. He explained everything I needed to know. Understood what I was getting at, in relation to the tenants very late payments playing catch up with the hope he wouldn’t need to pay the final rent. Stephen understood the guy was trying to pay his final months rent out of the deposit. But that’s not how this system works.
One call, all sorted
I spoke with Sharon who was just great. She helped solve our issue without any problems. Super friendly and great service provided.

It is so time-consuming and difficult to communicate with DPS. When you have done all the tenant details in the creation, you need to do it again when doing the prescribed info. which is the same info already entered into DPS, can see why they do nothing but send out automatically to tenants, putting the landlord at risk of not sending out info on time. When you have made a mistake, you can not correct it, and has to ask the tenant to phone them up and activate their account. Most tenants just do not bother and some do not have a email address or know how to login a computer. The whole matter is just a burden.

I was a relief to be speaking to a well spoken, more mature person who completely understood the problem. I thought I had a complex case of a lost deposit but after vigorous security checks it seemed I had inadvertently opened 2 accounts and just needed a change of password. A link was sent and I was happy.
