    Well Done!
    Thats great news for you - can imagine how pleased you must be. I know you havent got the money yet but you have a court order to say that you are due it. Ive been following this thread from the beginning and I have to say you seem to really have been through it but you have persevered and got a good result!

    Hope the cold gets better soon!

    Fantastic news. At last. She will have to pay up sooner or later or all hell will break loose. For now, just relax and celebrate. I guess Beechams Hot Lemon isn't quite the same as champagne, but hey I'm sure you'll being cracking open a proper bottle of bubbly soon.

    Well done for staying the course and acting as an inspiration to other worried about taking on greedy landlords!!!!!:D

    Update 31 October 2006

    Hi all!

    BIG update to let you know that today we received court papers to say that a judgement has been made in our favour - she has to pay £718.89 'forthwith'! :D

    What was the award relative to the deposit etc and costs - such a long thread?
    It would be really informative to hear what deductions if any the court made,
    Thanks,

    On the first page it says the landlord was withholding the full £625 deposit.

    I must say this gladens my heart.

    Don't forget to mention them here:

    Well done.
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
    "I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty.

    I couldn't work out the total costs though so didn't know if a token £20 for the radiator or alike had been deducted....

    It makes me very happy too :)

    Any problems paying chase the property not the person - charge on the house.... does this show up as a CCJ on her credit record now, if so anyway to tip off the agencies?

    Has she been paying all her income tax? Once you get your money, why not ask HMRC to check it out.

    I am not sure about the letting agents - after all they did enter a defense and the landlady did not. So I think you have judgement against the Landlady but not the agents. I think you and the agents would have to have turned up at the Court and had it settled. BUT I am not an expert on it and I could be wrong - I just would not wanting to be asking the agent for money when they did not have to pay me!
