Return of Deposits - The Dispute Service

Hi All, does anyone have any experience of dealing with the Dispute Service to handle a dispute with the return of a deposit on a rented property?
My deposit was registered, I have raised a formal dispute in draft form, will submit it when I locate my copy of the tenancy agreement.
I'm aware of all the timescales. The Letting Agent should have raised any possible deductions within 10 working days of the end of the let. They are well over that now and are claiming that they can't release the deposit as the landlord has not approved them to do it yet.
Just wondered if anyone else on the forums has raised a dispute, what was your experience like? Did you get a good resolution?
cheers
