If you want some fun & games here's the next term in the act:2. DISCLOSURE OF DIRECTORS, AND ETC. OF CORPORATE LANDLORD
(1) Where a tenant is supplied under section 1 with the name and address of his landlord and the landlord is a body corporate, he may make a further written request to the landlord for the name and address of every director and of the secretary of the landlord.
(2) The landlord shall supply the tenant with a written statement of the information requested within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which he receives the request.
(3) A request under this section is duly made to the landlord if it is made to—
(a) an agent of the landlord, or
(b) a person who demands the rent of the premises concerned;
and any such agent or person to whom such a request is made shall forward it to the landlord as soon as may be.
(4) A landlord who, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with a request under this section, and a person who, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with a requirement imposed on him by subsection (3), commits a summary offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.
It might not help you get your deposit back, but it should put the wind up the LA & his bosses - especially if the LA is part of a chain.
Good luck"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 would like her address so that if we do have to go to a small claims court, I can serve papers on both of them.
The courts website says it needs details of the landlord and letting agency to make a claim.
Have they referred to the landlord as being "the landlord" in written correspondence? If so ask them why the change & when it took place? Also see my post above."Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.

Tee Hee!
I'll hang onto that. I know they are being deliberately difficult so if they persist then two can play that game
