Shock as agent tells Ombudsman to get lost

Tuesday 2nd August 2011

In what can only be described as a V-sign to the Ombudsman, the estate and letting agent kicked out of the scheme has told it to go f*** itself.

He has also told local agents worried about his ‘overnight success’ to go to the Samaritans for counselling.

Yesterday, on LAT’s sister site EAT, we reported that wli.uk.com agent had been expelled from the Ombudsman scheme because of convictions for fraud.

Amerjit Singh Dhuga, the owner of wli.uk.com which has sales and lettings offices in the Midlands, was fined £3,120 with £3,417 costs for 26 offences.

As reported, although Dhuga has been expelled from voluntary membership, the law as it stands means – that unless the OFT bans him – he must continue with the basic TPO membership.

As such, he can continue to trade, deal with the public, and cock a snook at both TPO and other agents.
