I moved out on time. I had been renting the property for almost 10 years and every payment was on time. Anyway, Seekers knew that I was entitled to my deposit and the amount. Mr Martin claims to have lost all trace of my deposit because the company had been bought out. I didn't know that he is the one, allegedly, that bought it out. Months later, countless phone calls have taken place. Mr Martin has never once contacted me back. I have not received my deposit back. I was told that I should sue my landlady for the deposit..... I told Elizabeth, presumed secretary, that it is Seekers that holds my deposit and not the landlady (who has always been fair). I have now written to the Property Ombudsman regarding this.
My personal opinion is that in hindsight I wish I had not paid my last months rent. At least then I would not have had to borrow from my elderly parents.
Oh and one more thing. I was told by Elizabeth that they are a big company with some very important issues to deal with. Well, I may not be a big company. I may be a mere pawn in their monopoly board of rented houses (that they do not own) but that does not mean they can just get away with this.
If I get the deposit back I shall update this board.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Been efficient. They could have followed up on calls. They could be letting me claim the i terest on my money rather than sitting on it themselves.
