Students in Manchester

You should take great care when choosing your letting agent as this blog explains. The very best way to choose well is ask other students who have experience of the area.
It is all well and good having your deposit protected, but as I have learnt, the letting agent can still be a total nightmare to deal with. You may need to spend weeks trying to get your hard earned cash back. I will keep coming to assist you here, as I can see from many of your e-mails this is a huge problem. Obviously, as this is the holidays, the pace has slowed down.

Stay sharp and look out for our brand new website(s) coming soon: trottersville.co.uk and philip james rentals.co.uk

Beware Philip James

Someone who claims to be a "director" of the company has been in contact now, confirming they are sticking to the tiny clause in a contract. They claim they are waiting for the utility bills to be produced, according to the power and gas company - they have had these since the 3rd December and they show I am £24 in credit.

The "director" issues more threats should I produce my leaflets. This will not deter me. I will produce and distribute leaflets as I see fit. This company appears to thrive on intimidation and threats. They HAVE stolen my deposit in my opinion. I fully intend to show this to the court.

He wants me to complain to the industry bodies that he belongs to, rather than continue through the courts. It is my choice which route I take to obtain my deposit back - not theirs. Did you know that a deposit is YOURS!! It is not the property of the letting agent or the landlord, and there are specific laws relating to it's retention and return. They will have to explain to the Judge why they have chosen to ignore this.

It may take months for the Court to set a date for the hearing, so keep coming here for updates and advice.



There was an elderly lady  on rip off Britain recently, I think she was in her 90s and from Salford. She told how she had fought against the Germans and they had not broken her - but the company in the programme nearly had. Luckily for me, I didn't have to worry about the Germans or this particular company - However Philip James are trying to wear down my spirit with their threats and intimidation, They will not succeed!! Luckily for me I am not in my 90s and I will not be bullied.

They continually attempt to bully me into submitting to their way of doing things. They contacted the Police last week because I complained too often. The Police conceded it is a civil matter.

After Christmas I will be looking to recruit students in the Didsbury area to assist with distributing leaflets and lobbying their offices, this will be paid casual employment
