So if you haven’t heard the situation already, last academic year I moved in with 4 other people. Long story short one of them ‘left’ the house and left a bunch of her stuff inside leaving it there for 6 months. During this time her rent was not paid so when the contract ended there was an outstanding £1200 that needed to be paid, £1000 was covered by eating all of our deposits and that left £50 to be paid each. We would have to get all of it back through small claims court which is more trouble than its worth .
And today just to bring this entire debockle into the foreground a letter jumps under my door from the letting agency saying that we owe another £400 between us in repairs and cleaning. I swear at all possible opportunities were I could help this girl I will make it my business to incline her to solve my problems (being out of pocket) before I solve hers.
She owes a collective £1300 plus bills. That will make my share to be around £400, that money could be spent already on my World Scout Jamboree fees which I only have 3 months left to pay in part of full.
“Revenge is a dish best served cold”
If anyone has any ideas besides making sure she receives a summons to small claims court on how I can get what I’m owed then please jot your ideas down for me.
Moral of the story is, don’t get involved in a group contract with people you don’t know.
