I'm slightly surprised that TDS have requested they fill in a notification of a deposit dispute form as these are for when members of the scheme (usually agents) have been unable to get the landlord and the tenant to agree on how much of the deposit to return to whom. If the deposit is no longer registered with them I would not this would be the correct procedure (Though possibly they plan to have the entire deposit sent to themselves in order to ensure it can be returned to the tenant in full).

If they need any help filling the form in (it is rather long and complicated) I can give them advice!

Have they spoken to GDH about the return of their deposit when their tenancy ends? It would be a good idea to ask what will happen in their circumstances.

and thank you for the skill point! :)

Hello all, I am a Landlord of a house in Stafford. I have found out today that we have also been stung for 6month rent payment by Jupita (GDH).

What can I do now?

We have spoke to the tenant and diverted payment.

I am fearful that the previous paid rent into Jupita's account could be lost unless the Ombudsman can help some how.

What about Daniel McCarthy the Director (or one of) of Jupita.

Any advise welcome?

My landlord wants me to keep paying rent.

GDH said they are 'hopeful' at some point my deposit will be returned, when I eventually move out.

TDS says the deposit has gone down with the company, but I can still possibly claim it back from the TDS if I move out within the next month. What do people suggest I do? I dont want to move, especially since it doesn't even guarantee my deposit will come back, but I don't want to stay and be paying rent to people who have ultimately lied to me and lost me hundreds of pounds! There seem to be many people (LL, workmen, etc) in the same position, we can't all just sit and wait!

Are there any other tenants/landlords who have been given any different information to me? Any information will be appreciated since I seem to know nothing at the moment!

Who owns the deposit? Or more to the point, which robbing **** was owner of the company in question? From this information it is easy to see whose kneecaps need to be geographically dispersed, especially if they also happen to still be a company director.

The law protects criminals as long as they are rich enough to have lawyers cover their arse. I've never met a lawyer willing to stop a bullet, see this as you will. I do not endorse killing estate agents, but thieves are fair game.

Register yourself as a creditor with the administrators and start proceedings in the small claims court. As the company is in administration, there is no guarantee that you will get your deposit back but if you start proceedings you'll be in with a chance, which is more than you are now.

We are pursuing them through the small claims and they haven't contested the case.

You have not lost your deposits. You will still be able to get your deposits back, it is just that your landlord will have to pay it back to you from his own pocket rather than it being paid back by the agent. As the money is still yours at this time (it is not the landlord's money until you leave and agree to pay the landlord something towards damage to the property if necessary) you are the creditors so it is prudent to register as a creditor and see if you can get your deposit back from the administrators, as the landlord most likely will not be able to do this. If you are unable to claim your deposit back however you will have to claim it from your insurance company who in turn will claim it from your landlord.

I'm glad it has been pointed out the problems the contractors are having. I'm sure there are plenty who have suffered and who have also, quite rightly, refused to do any more work for the company due to lack of payment.

strangely, companies house still doesn't list Jupita Limited as being in liquidation (though it obviously is) http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/b4fe41a34a4aaf36cc4a5fb287125e37/compdetails though (possibly more interestingly) the company's registered address has changed to stafford. (It wasn't before)

As an aside

Even if a case is successfully brought in a small claims court against a person/s or organisation or company ( not in administration ) there is no assurance that the judgement will result in a payment

sadly

Just be a little careful on what you write on this crazy new fangled interweb thing, even if you know/believe it to be a truth..

No sense in getting a counter claim landin on your lap

"have numerous companies ripping of millions of pounds"

Our civil court system has problems convicting people even when presented with lorry loads of 'evidence'

Ultimately the courts decide on a case by case basis so it is not my opinion nor your own that will decide for or against any possible wrong doing or malicious libel
