I didn't realize until now that it was a lodgers agreement...and he never lived with me as he put himself down as a live out landlord as he was renting out 4 individual flats.0

He didn't live with me - I lived in the flat with me and my son.0

Yes every solicitor has denied helping me.0
-
I have sent him various emails and texts do I still have to do the letter?0
-
Yes but, I don't not have his address???0

You know I am not stupid and I understand people have said send the letter but, I only have the address of his garage he owns - do I send it there ? I work full time with epilepsy and a small child - I moved quickly as I had no home at the time due to a separation and maybe it was naively rushed on my part to except this place on spareroom (i thought landlords would be vetted on a site so big) but, we needed a place to go and the council would not help as I had always privately rented. I just started a job and that deposit he is keeping came out of me saving my first two wages up and not spending anything except for bills. I wanted a solicitor because i need to win this and not let him scam me these landlords can't be free to do this to people.0

You have a legal right to know the postal address of your landlord. Without it, you can't do anything very much at all, legally speaking.

Check the Land Registry to find out who owns the property. That might give you the landlord's address.
You don't need a solicitor to file a money claim online but if you are finding that this whole situation is too much for you to deal with then I recommend you contact Shelter for advice.

I think it's time for a spoon feeding response as the OP is clearly getting anxious and needs step by step assistance. It's not in my ability to write an example 'Letter before action' for her, but perhaps another poster could do it if they're feeling generous?
If you have no address other than the garage that he owns then yes, send your letter there."The problem with Internet quotes is that you can't always depend on their accuracy" - Abraham Lincoln, 18640
