Misleading representation. I explicitly told them I just needed my Windows program & maybe driver working. No recovery for emails, or anything business wise. Simple. I see others complained.They want $1500+ to fix (cheapest rate). I'd buy a new computer. A scam!I want my computer back pronto.PITS Global Data Recovery Services Response

Dear ******,We appreciate your feedback and understand your frustration. However, we would like to clarify the situation.Upon receiving your hard drive, we conducted a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the issue. As you initially requested, our goal was to restore Windows and your programs to a working state. However, during our evaluation, we discovered that your hard drive had a physical failure, which required a complex recovery process to attempt cloning and restoration.Following our standard procedure, we provided you with a detailed quote based on the work involved, including the necessary time, expertise, and specialized equipment required. We understand that pricing expectations may vary, and while we respect your decision not to proceed, declining the quote does not equate to any form of misleading representation.Our pricing reflects the level of expertise and labor-intensive process necessary to perform successful recoveries. We employ highly skilled professionals and invest in state-of-the-art technology to ensure the best possible results for our ************ per our terms and conditions, we promptly returned your hard drive when you chose not to proceed with the service. We regret that the cost did not align with your expectations, but we assure you that our pricing structure is transparent and based on the complexity of each case.If you have any further concerns or would like additional clarification, please feel free to reach out to us directly.Sincerely,PITS Global Data Recovery ServicesReview from carlos s

Dear ******,We appreciate your feedback and regret that you are not satisfied with your experience. However, we would like to clarify the details of your case.According to the signed contract between you and PITS Global Data Recovery Services, our team successfully recovered 100% of the data available on your hard drive. This was confirmed and verified based on filesystem metadata. The specific file you are looking for does not exist on the drive, meaning it was never saved or recorded on the device prior to the ********** outlined in the signed agreement, no refund is available in such cases, as our service was completed as agreed, and the full recovery was executed based on the data present on your hard drive.We understand that data loss can be frustrating, and we sympathize with your situation. If you have any further concerns or need additional clarification, please feel free to reach out to us directly at *************************************** or call us at ************.Best regards,PITS Global Data Recovery ServicesReview from Andy D

Spent $50 just to mail them the drive. On the phone they said price could vary, but typically it's around $300. To my surprise they came back with a quote of $2,600. After telling them I definitely can't afford that and I was only expecting maybe $500 at the most, they offered me some "holiday special" and brought the fee down to $1,800. Still way too high, so I asked for the drive back and they charged me another $25 to return it. Maybe super wealthy people can handle those kinds of fees, but definitely seemed like some pretty shady business and now I'm out $75 for nothing.PITS Global Data Recovery Services Response

Dear ****,I hope you're doing well. We recently came across your review on the BBB website and wanted to take a moment to address your concerns.We understand that the price quoted for your recovery may have been higher than expected. However, every data recovery case is unique, and the cost is based on the complexity of the issue. In your case, your ******* 1TB SSD had a controller failure, which is one of the most difficult types of recoveries in the industry. Only a few professional labs worldwide have the expertise to handle such cases, and many would deem it non-recoverable.Our initial evaluation, which you paid $50 for, included a prepaid ***** label, thorough diagnostics, and a professional assessment of the issue. Once we identified the problem, we provided a transparent quote. We also offered a significant discount to assist you, but we completely respect that it was still beyond your budget. The $25 return fee covers shipping and handling costs, which was communicated in our terms.We take customer satisfaction very seriously and always strive to be as transparent as possible. Our goal is to provide the best possible service and pricing while maintaining fairness in the industry. Given the complexity of your case and the efforts we made to accommodate you, we kindly ask if you would consider updating or removing your review to reflect the full context of the situation.Please let us know if theres anything else we can do to assist you. We appreciate your time and hope to serve you better in the future.Review from Mike S

I spoke with them on the phone twice before trying their service. During our phone call, they said a hard drive evaluation fee would be $95 if we chose not to proceed. Upon receiving our drive, they bid $2,495 to recover the data. We declined, paid the $95 and said we wanted our drive back. They stalled us for weeks. They kept trying to offer the recovery service for a little bit less each time we called to request our drive back, but even after they came down to $1,000 (which was weeks later) we still insisted that we just wanted our drive back because we could no longer trust this place. Then they said they needed an additional $25 (even after we paid the $95 eval fee per the original agreement). So we paid that, and eventually got the drive shipped back to us. It arrived not in the original heavy duty box with 4 inches of padding on all sides that I sent it with. Instead, it was in a very small box with only a single layer of bubble wrap around the drive.I'm an IT professional and have used a different recovery company many times (12+) before this one, so I know what a real data recovery should operate like. This isn't one!PITS Global Data Recovery Services Response

Dear ****,We appreciate all feedback as it helps us improve our services. However, after reviewing our records, we do not have a customer by your name in our system. That said, wed like to clarify our evaluation process and address the concerns mentioned.The purpose of the evaluation is to determine whether data recovery is possible and to assess the scope of work required before providing a quote. Our pricing reflects the expertise of our skilled engineers, advanced technology, and professional cleanroom environmentfactors that differentiate us from local shops or one-person operations that may use DIY techniques and low-quality tools, putting your data at risk.We understand that pricing can be a concern, which is why we always try to work within reasonable budgets when possible. However, declining a service due to cost does not equate to poor service. High-quality data recovery comes at a price, as it requires specialized knowledge and cutting-edge equipment.Regarding the return shipping of your drive, we follow industry-standard packaging protocols to ensure safe transit, but we always encourage customers to communicate any specific packaging preferences in advance.If you have any questions or believe there has been a misunderstanding, wed be happy to discuss this further. Our goal is to provide transparent and professional service to every ************* regards,PITS Data ********************** TeamReview from Michelle F

I had an old external hard drive that housed all my digital photos before the days of cloud services. Years ago I accidentally deleted the photos. Then the hard drive broke! PITS was able to read the drive and recovered all the pictures and a bunch of other data I forgot was on the drive in two weeks. Pricing was transparent. Customer Service was excellent.PITS Global Data Recovery Services Response

I recently had the unfortunate experience of losing important data on my hard drive. I contacted a number of data recovery companies but ultimately decided to go with ********* Recovery due to their professional and prompt response to my initial inquiry.From start to finish, the process was seamless. The customer service team was very helpful in answering all of my questions and providing me with a detailed explanation of the recovery process. They even provided me with a free evaluation of my hard drive before beginning the recovery process, which gave me peace of mind knowing that they could actually recover my data.The recovery process itself was quick and efficient. I was kept updated on the progress throughout the process and was notified as soon as my data was recovered. And when I received my recovered data, it was exactly as it was before it was lost.I couldnt be happier with the service provided by Pits. They were able to recover all of my important data and their customer service was top-notch. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of data recovery services.PITS Global Data Recovery Services Response
