Make Some Money

This is an update to this post about Eviction using a Section 8 Notice

well its been 14 days now since i issued the Section 8 Notice and the tenant has made an effort to contact me. about a week ago i got a text message from them asking me to call them. she tried to explain that apon visiting her back it has become apparent that loans.co.uk has been taking money from her account. they do not have a loan and the police have been informed as it could be identity fraud.

identity fraud
so for all the weeks that the standing order has been refused its because loans.co.uk was taking money on a direct debit from their account, which meant no money left for me. she assured me that she would now keep the rent in a jar at home and i’m welcome to come and collect it. its ok i told her, but she must deposit it in to my bank as she has my bank details.

missing money
i check my account everyday, but no deposits. i contact the tenant and she informs me that she has just paid the last weeks rent in and will pay this weeks in tomorrow. that was at least 3 days ago so the money should be in my account right? lies, lies and more lies? i’m really doubtful that this tenant will ever pay properly or tell the truth.

apply to court
the next step for me will be to apply to court for posession of the property. i can only do this 14 days after the Section 8 Notice. this will be a 1st for me too. i’ll keep you informed.
