Hi Everyone - I have just won my summary Cause case against landlord who had not securred deposit. Sherifff awarded 3 * deposit plus costs. Represented myself in Alloa Sheriff Court against landlord who had a lawyer. Easy to complete forms and simple process in court. all in cost about £200 including fees to serve papers. Good luck to everyone who is still fighting.

Hi I completely understand the position that you are in. My wife is a solicitor but unfortunately is only licensed to practice in Hong Kong and South Africa. So the same rules apply to her! I have completed and submitted the application myself as I feel it is a clear cut case. Where the landlord only registered the deposit 9 days before we moved out 171 days after the start of the tenancy - a clear violation of the legislation. I am also not in it for the money but more to cause the same level of irritation that we endured. Reading between the lines of your post it is evident that the forum is not for me as it would prohibit any advice or tips ever being able to be presented by others in a similar situation. I would like to thank you for the time taken to respond. Best regards Alan
