    Anyway regardless of all this I had already decided to take sue's advice and refund her and not allow her to expend her stay.
    Thank you to everyone that took the time to reply and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    Thanks

    Personally if I was you I'd check the phone bill to make sure she wasn't calling Paris while you were away. If it was me I probably wouldn't refund the deposit as she hasn't kept to the rules, but that's just my personal opinion. It's seems she has been very disrespectful and I think you'll be lucky to get your 2 weeks rent 1


    I hadn't even thought of that! I will call Virgin first thing tomorrow.
    I really didn't want to give it back but it will save a lot of problems.
    As for the rent I don't want a confrontation but she will pay if she
    wants to get her belongings.

    Thanks for the telephone tip

    Her last day is tomorrow and the rent she owes is £100, her deposit was £50. I wondered if you read my post in full before commenting?

    I do wonder if she will pay you the missing rent or tell you to take it out of the deposit?

    So she could give you £50 and tell you to take the rest out of her deposit.

    I'm sorry shadej, it just doesnt work like that. This thing has become bigger than you, bigger than all of us. People "high up" in the internets now know about your fantastically important problem of whether to hand back the £50 to the French girl or not, and they want answers.

    Clutton I am not quite sure why you seem so bothered and interested? Maybe you have a somewhat boring life and see this as fulfillment. If indeed thats the case the please feel free to throw at me what ever makes you feel better, I have already made up my mind and you going on is pointless.

    I find that when you want a yes of no answer it's best to create a poll rather than asking for comment.
    Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.
