    Ok so it's now the 16th of July and still heard absolutely nothing back from either the landlord or the agents so what are my next steps?

    I might understand how a landlord might try and avoid contact but I can't understand how a supposedly reputable company with a name to uphold are ignoring all communication; not even giving any kind of made up reason why I haven't been paid just total radio silence.

    Anyway, what to do now?

    Hmmmm, what to do now? Try reading the advice you've already been given in this thread, your previous thread, and G_M's useful guide to Deposits: payment, protection and return, and take some action. Alternatively do eff all and chalk it up to experience.

    Have you actually been to the Agents premises in person?

    I don't live in the same region any more.

    Ah I see the info is here

    http://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/tenancy_deposits/court_action_for_a_tenancy_deposit_refund

    If I no longer live in the city where I used to rent the property and the landlord also wasn't from there where would I actually be going to court to make the claim? My current city or I would have to travel back to the old one? Do you need to go in person at all or can you just send the relevant information?

    it is quite remarkable that you ask such a question after so many posts, it suggests you really do not want to resolve this?

    - visit the agency in person, you have their address, you don't leave until you get an answer

    - I've only skim read the thread, but if the "letter" you sent was the letter before action you were told to do then now TAKE LEGAL ACTION . If you are still of the view expressed earlier that you won't then this thread is at an end because that is the end point.

    then it is obvious that the amount of money involved is not enough that you care enough - give up, walk away and move on with your life.

    I spoke to my mum last night and agreed I will put my address on.

    If I am an illegal then you should all give me a round of applause for learning the language so well.

    I know a few American's being loosey goosey with UK immigration laws and surprisingly they speak English quite well.

    I have read whole thread and from what I gather since you don't want to bother with court, then nothing, write it off. Unless you changed your mind?
