Endless attempts to cancel payments
2 years ago I had to get a DBS check for a job. Since then I've tried to cancel the monthly payment of £8 per month but they keep taking it from. My account. Every time you go on the site you go round in circles untill you sick of entering the details. I seriously thinking of taking them to court.

Unauthorized charges
You can pay for a $39 background check. But based on where the customer might have lived, you could be paying hundreds $$$ more without being asked first. It's deceptive. Be warned.

Hello Pat, thank you for sharing your concerns about additional charges based on where someone has lived. We understand why an unexpected total would be frustrating. We pride ourselves on transparent, competitive pricing. State and county record-access fees are disclosed during ordering and passed through at cost, without markup; these fees apply to background screening providers accessing the same records. Please reach out to our customer support team so we can review your charges, explain the applicable fees, and work with you toward a resolution.

Clear check scam
Warning!!!! When looking for a DBS, last week, this company came top of the Google search so I thought they would be legitimate?? Started my application for DBS check, initial on the check out was there £25 to pay, they ended up taking £86.50. Then I got an email from them asking me to verify my ID (which I had already done). They suggested a company called Verify Online who would have changed a further fee. I’ve contacted Clearcheck and asked them to cancel my application. I might need to get in touch with my bank to cancel any further charges from this company. All of this takes time and energy which I could do without. I didn’t know that I could to go to gov.uk for the DBS. It's easy to deal with and cost £25.

I had to give 1 star to enable me to…
I had to give 1 star to enable me to write this. Avoid. Scammers . Says £15, but when you pay the screen freezes or disappears. I was charged £101.50, and they proceeded to take another £101.50. All they give you is a reference number. NO reply to emails. They now have all my ID, scammed me, bank aren’t being very helpful, as they say I authorised payment, but I didn’t authorise over £200. Absolute scam. Use Gov.UK legit DBS, you get receipt, digital & paper DBS, phone number to call if any issues, checked at post office with all legit paperwork (if you don’t own a passport or driving license) I’ve always used Gov.UK, but needed a DBS quick & thought this was a legit company. I was WRONG. I’ve seen many people saying they also take a further £8 a month subscription???? I’m hoping my bank actually does something. As it’s NOT a debit card dispute, it IS FRAUD.
