An update on the deposit saga, this is my summary to Becky.
Hi Becky
How are things? Our deposit woes are still ongoing.
As I see it this is what is going on...
When the property was bought by the new landlord (Mr Edwards) the contracts that we had with Gary Sangra moved over to the new owner. Our original deposits were held with a third party company called Mercury Development.
I've been in touch with KFH and the new manager of the property Gill and Griff (something) for the past 3 weeks and I think we're finally getting somewhere. KFH never held our deposits they only handled the deal.
The issue we have is whether the deposits were transferred over to the new company / landlord when the purchase was made.
Here's the fun bit... Mr Edwards and Gary are on holiday.
Mr Edward is due back 'sometime next week'
Gary is in the Caribbean (probably spending our money) until the 28th.
Gary says that it's the new owner's responsibility however. Griff can't do anything till Mr Edwards gets back from his holiday.
I've told Griff that I expect a call from him next week once he's spoken to Mr Edwards, i'll chase on Wednesday if I haven't heard anything from him. I left him with by telling him that if things do not progress within the next couple of weeks that we will have to file a claim with the small claims court.
I've looked into this and it's quite simple and doesn't cost much. I'm leaving it all till next week now as it's really making me angry.
Anyway... how are things? Everything okay?
See you soon
