Give me back my deposit!

According to the article Fighting the wave of credit crunch crime! tenants are not aware that their landlord can not only reduce the deposit on return because of damage to fittings but are also able to do so for damage to fixtures, contents, and building.

You dont need to look too hard to find tenants who have lost their deposit because of incidences that are nothing to do with them. Nightmare situations such as flood, fire, burglary and a host of additional expected disasters were excuses for the landlord to cling onto the deposit.

How to get round this awkward and financially ruining situation is to purchase tenants insurance. HomeLet the leading provider for lettings insurance recommend their tenants contents insurance to cover you against all eventualities, from the red wine spill on the hall carpet to flood damage.

Beckham asked:

My car was involved in an accident. My insurance co said that I have to wait until the opposite party did not make a claim before I can sell/repair. It is three weeks now. What should I do? Should I write to the opposite party and the insurance co that if I do not receive claim, say in 7 days, I would assume there is no claim. I want to sell my car asap. Any suggestions?

Snake asked:

Is there a body responsible for monitoring insurance companies?
We have a leak in our kitchen roof, which our insurance company (a major building society) were informed of in December 2006. After months of waiting, they sent someone down in May 07 to fix it. It’s taken them a month to plaster the room and now it’s leaking again!

Is there an agency responsible for checking consumers rights in such situations? We’re at the end of our tethers, please help!
Thanks to all who answered but I’m in the UK, so I need to know who deals with this stuff in England.

rhianc30 asked:

My policy states I should advise if the bike is modified, altered or converted from original manufacturer specification, they need to be advised. This was not the case when I purchased the bike – it was only fairing/plastics that needed replacing, it was mechanically sound and had a new MOT. It was completely repaired and put back to standard manufacturer specification with no alteration, had been serviced and was completely roadworthy. My insurance questions do not ask if it has been ‘repaired’ – only if its been altered or converted. Do I need to state it was registered as a Category D from its previous owners insurance? Will it affect my own insurance if I do not? Any help appreciated – thanks.
