Landlord has taken my belongings
Comments

You can't get blood out of a stone. If the OP doesn't have the money then he/she doesn't have the money.
He/she can ask their employer for an advance, their bank for a loan or try Wonga or any other payday lender.
Their landlord isn't a credit facility, and has their own obligations.
How can you state the landlord clearly intends to return the belongings. Are you the landlord ?
I am going by what the OP has stated. I have no reason to disbelieve them.Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.0 -
If you are 6 days late with a payment to a bank loan, credit card etc. you don't get bailiffs at your door to take your things away for ransom - bailiffs can only get involved as a last resort after a proper process has been followed.
This landlord is behaving like a loan shark.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning0 -
I think you will find it's the LL being described as "theiving scum", not the OP0
-
Whatever the morals of it, the LL has committed unlawful conduct.
The OP should get legal advice and keep records of everything this costs them, as well as request an incident number from the police.
Could be expensive for the LL0 -
Hmm the Landlord is digging a hole for himself here. He doesn't seem very well versed with the Law, does he?
OP go see a Solicitor. Some of them offer a free 30/60 minute consultation. The (civil) law is on your side here.0 -
If you are late paying credit cards etc you wil be charged a fee and interest. Will the landlord be getting interest? Unlikely. Still shouldn't have taken the stuff though but the tenant should not be expecting to live in the landlord's property without paying."'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die"0 -
Have you paid the landlord a deposit?I'm proud of my advice, if others want to look I say enjoy the show!0
