  1. I shall. You'd think after I sent him the link which stated the potential consequences of no certificate he'd be more inclined to be a btter landlord right?
  2. Thanks again, It's been a couple of weeks since the engineer came over but still not a peep about results, not heard from LL since he arranged the check. The engineer said on the day everything looked fine but that's not the point.
  3. Thank you Stu. The engineer came yesterday thankfully all was well. He had arranged for yesterday and even said he's given his friend permission to enter the flat as I will "probably be at work". I quickly reminded him that without my permission, no one is entering. It's seriously everything with this guy. And yes I agree, everytime I start to feel bad for the landlord I just remember that not securimng a deposit sucks but it's not going to kill you, not doing a gas safety on the other hand... And I know that's extreme but annoys me when I think about it. At least it's done now.
  4. I shall, thank you. What is the likely outcome here? I'm not looking to gain anything it's purely because he's negligence (and mine to an extent) could be rather dangerous and his ignorance. To top it off, I sent a lengthy email outlining things he's missed and he just responded with "Let me know when you want me to sort out the certificate and I'll organise it'. Too laid back..
  5. Thank you for your time and the links, very helpful. I've since received an email that the deposit is now infact protected. Which is a start. Basically, aside from the contract the landlord seem to have broken every single rule/regulation.
  6. Hi guys, - Moved in to a private rental flat end of January, 12 month AST with 2 month notice. - Private landlord, aquantance of a friend. First time renting to someone, he seems very 'laid back'. - We met last December to discuss terms. I was heading abroad for 6 weeks and he was moving to Spain whilst I was away. - He's UK address is under he's friends address who holds spare keys. (I picked keys from him) - Came back and had planned to move in on the 29th Jan as stated in contract. - First week I made a couple of complaints about noise/neighbors and the fact he had left his old junk in the flat for me to clear (bathroom shelf still had beard trimmings, old pair of crocs lying about, dirty sheets, broken vaccum etc), his response (Just leave it in the park someone will pick it up) - LL was seemingly annoyed by my complaints, emailed end of March that I still hadn't heard back from a deposit scheme and got no answer from LL. - Sent LL email yesterday once again asking for deposit info, still no answer but got automated email from DPS welcoming me on my 'new' account. - I've since read Gas/elect certificates should be provided which has made more concerned since he hasn't protetected my deposit and I haven't got any safety cetfificates. What's my next step? He clearly thinks by registering me up for a DPS account suddenly is acceptable. I wanted to get advice on how to properly write a letter regarding not only the deposit but the safety certificates. I can't afford to move out but I'm also annoyed that I emailed back in March asking him about my deposit which he ignored! Thank you.
  7. Thanks, dx. I'm going to go over the other 2 CRA (Experian/Equifax) and make are everything is correct with addresses, should I then expect an influx of letters if I were to update old addresses? I've moved a lot so only have a rough estimate of time (shared housing). I only have a CCJ, all over debts have been paid/cleared. On all 3 I'm on the electoral roll at my current address.
  8. Hi guys, I've been searching around the web but cannot find an answer to this: I want to know if a CCJ is linked to a name + address or name + other details. I want to check my details via the trustonline but seeing as each address costs an additional £6 I want to make it count. Is the best way just to register on the big 3 CRA and list every known address even if the dates aren't perfect? My issue is I've moved around dozens of times and can only piece a few of them together. I was sent a CCJ to an old address over 5 years back I had no idea of this until a few years later. If someone was to search my last 3 addresses + full name would this CCJ show or is it only if they have the address the CCJ was sent too? Noddle shows this CCJ at an old address but experian + equifax are clean. So it made me wonder how a CCJ actually gets linked. Thank you.
  9. Because a CCJ is more than just an inconvenience. I'm not concerned about anything else they may try doing, I just didn't want a black mark on my record for another 6 years. If a DCA has the power to apply a CCJ ( backdoor or in any case) then I think that warrants some concern.
  10. Thanks guys, will give it a watch. (although a bit nervous to now :D) And dx just to clarify, in the unlikely event that a judge did allow a CCJ to be enforced after 6 years, are you saying that it doesn't appear on a credit file but the claimants can still chase as usual? Thank you.
  11. @dx - Interested to see/hear behind the scenes. I'm BBC would have a doc somewhere. @London1971, thank you. Ironically that was the first letter in a few months a few days after I checked my report. Coincidence perhaps.
  12. That's cleared that up then! Is there a thread/article you know of where it goes into the type of people who actually work for these agencies or maybe someone's friend etc.
  13. Thanks for clearing that up dx. Is it also true that Lowell's are the 'good guys' out of a bad bunch of DCA's?
  14. I'm reading that a claimant can apply for a CCJ renewal after 6 years by reapply to the courts (with good reason as to why it wasn't resolved within the 6 years). Quick google search, this wasn't the link where I read it from but pretty much said the same thing. Image below, Thanks. Chocolaterecipes-.pdf
