  I can’t believe what awful service they provide. I ordered a PPT, paid $1,000 with an additional $100 to get it in 4 days but guaranteed in 7. Needless to say, it’s been almost 4 weeks and no response and no results. I call daily, and each time it takes about 30 minutes or more to get anyone to answer, and when they do the date always changes as to when the results will be ready and not to mention they are just so unkind to customers. I am pregnant and they have caused me so much unnecessary stress due to their incompetence, lying, and back and forth. I just can’t believe this company. It is truly the worst company I have ever dealt with. Do not use them.

  We do sincerely apologize for the delay.  DDC contacted the customer by phone to ensure she had received the report.  The report was provided right around the same time that this concern was received.  The customer confirmed receipt of the report. There is a refund for the expedited service since there was a delay.  The customer is aware to expect the refund in the next few business days.  We are always working to improve our services and do appreciate your feedback.

  To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against DDC concerning my experience with case ******. On November 5, I contacted DDC to schedule a DNA test for November 7 at 5 PM at the "Any Lab Test Now" facility in ********, ******. During my conversation with the sales representative, C********** G*****, I clearly stated that my request was time-sensitive. C********** assured me that the appointment was confirmed and that I would receive a confirmation call on November 6, after I paid a total of $798. However, on November 6, I did not receive any confirmation call. After waiting all day without any communication, I reached out to C********** for clarification. He informed me that there was a system breakdown at the DNA center and instructed me to contact the scheduling department directly on the morning of November 7 to confirm my appointment. On November 7, I called the scheduling department several times, in total for two and a half hours without any answer. Frustrated and anxious about my upcoming appointment, I attempted to reach C********** again, only to find that both his direct line and cellphone went to voicemail. I left multiple messages but did not receive a response. Then I emailed him to ask a timely refund, he never replied, neither of the scheduling department. Overall, I am deeply disappointed with the lack of communication and professionalism demonstrated by DDC. After paying a significant amount for a service that I was unable to confirm or receive, I feel that my trust in this company has been gravely undermined. Due to the ongoing lack of response and resolution, I am formally requesting that this complaint be documented and to recover the full refund of my payment of $798 immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope for a timely resolution. Sincerely, ******** ***** ************

  My complaint is with the company DDC, a DNA Testing company. This company is charging an unreasonable amount and making promises they can not keep. My Paternal DNA test results were promised 3-5 days after testing. I had tests done on October 21st, 2024. I called in a few days later and they informed me that the results would not be in until five(business) days after the labs received my case samples. The labs received my samples on Thursday October 24th, 2024. This would mean that my results would be in by Thursday October 31st, 2024. Well I called in October 31st, because I had not received my results. They then informed me that the labs were behind and my results would now be in on November 1st, 2024. TODAY, November 1st, 2024 I called in to verify my results would be in and they have now told me my results will be in on November 5th 2024... On top of the HUGE delay, not one single email was sent to update me. This right here is extremely unprofessional and screams that DDC is incompetent on getting their job done.

  Hello,

  We do apologize for the delays you experienced and lack of notification of the delay.  We understand the sense of urgency and take your feedback seriously.  DDC strives to provide an excellent customer experience and we work hard to ensure results are issued on the expected date.  Your results were issued through our secure portal on November 4th and hard copies were sent by mail.  If we can be of further assistance, please reach out to us at [email protected].

  I reached out to get a prenatal DNA test done for my Son and his girlfriend on Feb. 29th. My Husband, ****** ******* father, took him in for the testing at their suggested lab (*** *** **** *** *******) off of 1**** **** ** ** ***** **** ******* *** ***** on Monday March 4th. Since then I have had no luck in getting our results. My husband advised the site that ****** ***** was a minor and asked if he needed to sign anything for him. The site stated that it was not necessary. I received a notification that our results should be ready by 6PM on March 6th. When the results did not come in I called to follow up on our results later that week. I was advised that additional information was needed. Parental consent to run the test results. I provided that immediately I called back again at a later date and that information had not yet been processed. I spoke to someone else who advised that They needed me to resend this paperwork with a signature from ******* ***** (the biological father of ****** *****) and his driver license. Again I sent this over immediately. Both ******* and myself have called back numerous times over the last two weeks and every time we call or email the system is down. This is not an inexpensive procedure and there should be some sort of communication coming from DDC letting us know what is going on with our case.

  Hello,

  We do apologize for the delays your experienced while going through the testing process.  Our system did experience some delays and these delays are not the service we strive to provide.  The communication regarding minors should have also been handled to ensure there were not any delays.  We do have required documentation that is needed in order to complete testing, but it should not have caused this delay.  Once the required documents were received, we were able to proceed with issuance of results.  We are reviewing with our team to ensure streamlined communication in the future.  

  Sincerely, 

  DNA Diagnostics Center

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that while the resolution is not satisfactory this is the best response that  DNA Diagnostics Center could provide. My results were finally turned over, however this does not negate the poor customer service that was provided by DNA Diagnostics Center.

  Dear Sir/Madam: On or about February 20, 2024, I ordered an DNA home paternity test kit from DNA Diagnostics Center in the amount of one hundred ninety nine dollars and zero cents. I was provided with an order number of: ********. On or about February 25, 2024, I sent DNA Diagnostic Center a message via their online portal requesting to ascertain the status of my order with negative results. On or about February 26, 24, I sent DNA Diagnostic Center a second message via their online portal requesting to ascertain the status of my order with negative results. I travelled to the United States Postal Service in ********* *** ****** with negative results. On or about February 27, 2024, I called DNA Diagnostic Center at ###-###-#### and ###-###-#### with negative results. On or about February 27, 2024 I called DNA Diagnostic Center at -###-###-#### at 8:08am, 8:59am, 9:06am, 9:13am, and 2:22pm. ON the last call at 2:22pm, I stayed on my phone with L****** (phonetic) for 20 minutes and 48 seconds. It appeared that he ALLEGED that I could speak to someone sitting next to him. Astonishingly, he then ALLEGED that he had to transfer my call to another person and THEY NEVER ANSWERED THE PHONE! I advised Mr. L****** (phonetic) that I called on numerous occasion and I a representative from DNA Diagnostic Center hung up the telephone on me on TWO SEPARATE occasions and never called me back! He ALLEGED that if he had the authority he would send my order express mail or expedited mail with a tracking number or refund my monies. On or about February 27, 2024 I emailed DNA Diagnostic Center in regards to the status of my at home paternity test with negative results. I have travelled to the United States Postal Service in ********* *** ****** on multiple occasions to ascertain if, DNA Diagnostic sent me the at home paternity test with negative results. I have had enough of the unprofessionalism of this business! I am demanding a full refund plus my travel expenses to and from the post office looking for a package DNA Diagnostic Center never sent. I am a permanently disabled and no one should be treated this way! Sincerely, ________________________________ ******* ******** February 28, 2024

  Hi! I am the  respondent of the case ******* County Case Number: ************ It came to my attention that the petitioner has provided DNA test results to the court. The problem is that i have never  attended any testing procedure. Although the document states my name and I had to be present for qualification. Another concerning fact is that the testing date of father vs mother and the child is about 6 month apart. Also I am usually described as a "white" or "latino", my skin is extremely light. In the test it was said that I was BLACK!!! Can you please advise what I should i do to protect my rights? Please find the copy of potentially fraudulent report attached
