  • Advance Rent SCAM - using ROGUE LETTING AGENT AND ROGUE TENANT

    I contacted letting agency, to manage my property and signed up on a “guaranteed rent one year advance rent” scheme, however the contract came with the agents name and funding company name in brackets – Letting Agent ltd (Fund providers ltd)
    I queried the company name – but he was so evasive, expressed that he was in partnership with the funders hence the additional name.
    The next of numerous flag came up when I requested a payment date - the evasiveness led to delays and my mortgage due date was getting close. I signed up anyway.
    They could not pay up after 2 weeks of signing and after numerous call and 4 days to my mortgage due date, I decided to call it all off – but then requested a quarterly payment – they could not meet this because they claimed that I needed to sign another contract before the funds will get released. 2 days before my mortgage due date, I brought up and negotiated monthly – until the document creator came back from their holiday. They then made a payment a day after my mortgage to the monthly rent of £1600.00 however, they ended paying £1400.00 instead.
    I queried the amount and managed to speak to him after weeks of being evasive and 1st of August was soon approaching – again, he made a payment of £1400.00 became sporadic – after I signed a contract to accept the monthly payment until the contract got redrafted – This contract was signed by the director of the funders ltd and in only funders ltd name on the contract – which vitiates all previously signed contracts.
    Ist of September, only £970.00 was paid and the same was paid on 2nd October.
    Right now, I do not have a contract with rogue letting agents who have sublet to rogue tenant Limited that is using my property as a kind of short term Airbnb business.
    I do not know whether deposit has been paid, business tax registration, who is paying the utility bills.
    I went in twice to change the locks they broke in 3 times with a much secure digital entry key system. The MET police advised to go through the civil courts system and not to break in again because, I may end up with the rogue tenants breaking in by 2am with 2 sets of their eyes staring at me in the middle of the night.
    Only last week I filed Section 8 and served funders Ltd - the hearing date is 21 January 2023 - I honestly cannot wait this long. I am targeting the funders because the two Nigerian scammers do not have the assets to make any refunds or compensation that I am trying to get from the court - I need funders ltd to put pressure on rogue letting agent to give me back my property. Please, can anyone assist me on anything I could have missed out.
