Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Procius delivers an overwhelmingly poor experience that reviewers describe as unfit for purpose. The company faces severe, consistent criticism across nearly all dimensions of service delivery.
Users report chronic delays stretching from months to over a year, with processes that should be straightforward becoming extended ordeals. Staff are repeatedly described as unresponsive and disorganised, with customers unable to reach anyone by phone, emails going unanswered for weeks, and contradictory information delivered by different team members. Many reviewers mention having to chase Procius daily just to get basic work completed. A persistent pattern emerges of repeated requests for documents already submitted, automated emails requesting information days or weeks after it was sent, and no internal communication between staff members.
The impact on users is tangible: people report losing job offers, missing months of wages, incurring significant call costs to follow up, and experiencing extreme stress. Several mention training paid for out of pocket that went to waste due to delayed clearances. One reviewer describes almost suicidal stress levels. A handful of five-star reviews appear in the dataset but read as sarcastic or glitchy (one rates slow, stressful processes as five stars); one genuine positive review praises a single staff member. The criticism is so uniform and severe that multiple reviewers express disbelief the company remains in business, with some indicating they are pursuing legal action or compensation claims.

Zero Stars - it has taken FIVE months so far in order to try to get the most basic check done. I have been 'fobbed off' by 2 managers and countless staff, saying it will arrive within 2 days, on numerous occasions. I have now had a full DBS check done elsewhere that took less than a week and so have been attempting to cancel the Procius one and get back the Β£25 that I paid for nothing. They have been continually saying it will all be sorted out and still nothing. DONT GO NEAR THEM!
