the n1 is the claim form that you use to start proceedings

Trading standards could do a letter as well bring a lot of pressure to bear on them

Anyone know the trading standards nearest to the Isle of Dogs in London, near the Big shining buildings?

Can I ask if the Letting Agency has the initials "BM"? I had issues with an LA (I was a tennant) near the Isle of Dogs.

Also, it might be worth spending a couple of pounds pulling the Companies House accounts on them (go to companieshouse.gov.uk) to see if they are having money problems etc.

Could you ask if the tennants can pay you directly, then you pass on the fee to the LA yourself?

Hi Melissa

agents not one you noted, but they know who they are, and Its pretty bad if naming and shaming is the only way for folk to do what they should.

I believe they may have some County Court items already noted, but have yet to check this out, but I am taking note of all the great advice folk here are giving me

Will be thinking of going to newspaper columns or even BBC watchdog maybe? what do others think of this approach?

I'd sue and not worry about the other stuff until later personally.

well yes but you MUST give the LA time to pay in writing

If no reply and/or no payment in 14 days, then issue the N1 like I suggested

I assume that emails to agent giving a Dec 06th Deadline for payments will count as written chance to pay, and before that other emails sent, demanding payment of back funds, constant promises of early Dec, then came and went, then before Christmas and now we move to the New Year. So, is email with deadline dates sufficient?

to be on safe side send copy n1 and give 14 days, else you will issue the same!
