It's on the way - Philip James court summons No2

Whilst waiting patiently for their ridiculous "counterclaim" alleging stalking, harassment, defamation and threatening ex tenants with prison and torture (not really torture) but the wrath of hellfire etc, they must have thought they had got away with perjury.


This disgusting petty firm stole money from my deposit, despite assuring a Judge they would refund it, are probably feeling pretty smug with themselves.


Well they will be delighted to know they will shortly be served with summons No2. Yes, they will be back in court explaining to the Judge why they promised to refund my deposit, and then swiftly stole part of it.
They always object to my use of the word "stole" or "stolen" in my claims against them. For their benefit, here is the dictionary definition:

steal verb, stole, sto·len, steal·ing, noun

verb (used with object)

1.

to take (the property of another or others) without permission or right, especially secretly or by force.

This is exactly what Philip James have done. They have stolen part of my deposit, they have been deceitful in their actions. They expressly told a Judge they would return it to me, without mention of stealing any part of it (perjury) see below for the dictionary definition:

per·ju·ry

the willful giving of false testimony under oath or affirmation, before a competent tribunal, upon a point material to a legal inquiry.

They have no shame, their greedy staff probably sit there on a daily basis scheming how they can earn an extra quid or two stealing from their tenants and landlords. The most vulnerable will be students, who for various reasons give up the fight to get their money back in full from these penny pinching, smug, arrogant con artists. 

You should NEVER EVER give up. If someone sneaked into your room and stole from you, you would want the thief caught and humiliated. You would want your money back from them. DO NOT ever let these people steal from you.

Miss-Fortune(Nesbitt) and Danielle Beswick are probably sat there right now checking their salaries and commission.

Philip James are at it again!!

Despite agreeing in court on the 14th July 2011 to refund my deposit, this despicable company have sent me a cheque which is £30 short.

I have never agreed to this deduction and they made no mention of it in the court before the Judge. The whole case was recorded and therefore I am sure they must be slightly deranged if they think they can continue to with hold my money.

I have advised them that I will be issuing further proceedings to recover my money. I really believed they would comply with the agreement they made in court, however even if they had withheld £1 of my money I would still issue another civil suit against them.

They are again threatening to sue me for £5k plus costs for continuing to inform the world about their activities, and if that is what they do, so be it.

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
