Deposit not returned-how do I prove this?

annajayne

Hi there,

My name is Anna I am new to this forum:)

I am looking for some advice! I had to place a deposit for various things from a housing company I used to rent from (a2 housing). The items I placed a deposit for were returned to the company in person they day after I moved out of my rented room which was the 12/10/08. They have not returned my deposit but are claiming to have returned my monies to my account. How can I prove to them that I have not received my deposit back? Does it come down to copies of my bank statement?

Any advice would be gratefully received,

Many thanks for reading,

Hi Anna and welcome

They will know exactly where they returned it to and when. Once you have the account number then go to the place with a statement from that month and it will prove that they haven't paid it.

Thank you for the advice, unfortunately I don't live in the same city anymore but I'll see what I can do!:rolleyes:

I would suggest also that as you cannot prove a negative, it is up to them to prove that they have returned it.

Simply ask them for the proof that they have filled their contractual obligation.

AS above, I would demand to see proof of the deposit returned. They should have it, if not, pop into Trading Standards and let them handle it for you.
