Landlady Dragging her heals

Hello all
Just after some advice, moved out of a rented property on the 12/6/11 after 2yrs. I was all done through Sequence properties, since that time the landlady still hasn't released our deposit (£1000). She told us that the carpet in the hallway needed redoing (fitted badly and Dyson hoover threaded it a bit), also that the lino in the kitchen needed redoing (I hold my hands up to this one, don't try moving a a fridge freezer on your own, it may snag a bit). She told us she would get some quotes and still nothing has arrived, we have left 12 messages now and still no response.
Any advice???
Cheers
Matt

Can you & Landlady prove the condition of the property (inventory, photos..) at start & end of tenancy??

Have you written (calm, polite.., keep copy) letter to agents and Landlady requesting deposit0 -
In addition to the other questions, please tell us how old d'you think the carpet/lino was when you moved in? Was it obviously brand new, or was it showing signs of wear, or was it on its last legs?0
