Clearing the debt is cheaper than trying to clear your name, ultimately you will waste money and still be in debt. Seems absolutely insane and pointless.
im not going to be spending my own money on the legal action as we get legal aid
Perhaps you should put your efforts into finding ways to pay your landlord the rent that he/she is owed instead of going on wild goose chases.5 -

If it's a slam-dunk case, you might get somebody to do a NWNF, but that's about as likely as Donald Trump getting a dose of humility.8 -

im not going to be spending my own money on the legal action as we get legal aidLegal aid can help meet the costs of legal advice, family mediation and representation in a court or tribunal.
You’ll usually need to show that:
- your case is eligible for legal aid (It's not)
- the problem is serious (It's not)
- you cannot afford to pay for legal costs (You have already confirmed that you can't but your case would not be eligible)
You could for example get legal aid if:
- you or your family are at risk of abuse or serious harm, for example domestic violence or forced marriage (N/A)
- you’re at risk of homelessness or losing your home (N/A)
- you’ve been accused of a crime, face prison or detention (N/A)
- you’re being discriminated against (N/A)
- you need family mediation (N/A)
- you’re adding legal arguments or bringing a case under the Human Rights Act (N/A)

Spaceman450, sorry to burst your bubble but you are reliant on finding a solicitor to take this case up for you. They will only take up a case if they envisage getting paid for their efforts.
This is not about right or wrong but payment for services. It's why only the rich pursue such cases as the solicitors get paid whether they win or loose not on who is right.May you find your sister soon Helli.

There are organisations that can help
gone are the times when greedy landlords can bully their tenants
the tide is turning0 -
There is no bullying. The LL has stated true facts so you have no case.
If you want to shut your LL up then just pay the overdue rent.5 -
Don't feed the troll, just saying"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"
