Heather and Lay are b*stards.
Most of you probably know that I left my flat in somewhat a state of disrepair. I did, however, leave sufficient materials laying around for the damage to be repaired quickly and cheaply, so that my deposit would not be eaten into.
Things would have been fine, and I would have happily sat around waiting for the letter from H&L(my estate agents) telling me that I would not be receiving my full deposit back.
However, my standing order accidently paid them 500 instead of 65 yesterday(as payment for the last few days of rent), and I had to give them a call to get my money back.
Not only will I have to wait until tuesday for them to transfer it back(and then wait until Friday for it to appear in my account), but the manager of the branch, Paul chewed me out over hole in the floor.
He was "not impressed", apparently. And he doesn't "understand why you'd want to lose your deposit over this". Um, because that's what a deposit is for? Besides, I'm not losing it. You're just gonna use some of it for the repairs. Ret*rd.
The worst part of, though, was "we've obviously got the phone numbers of your guarantors here". To rent the flat, we had to get our parents to sign documents saying that if we didn't pay rent on time, they would. Paul Beever, of Heather and Lay(Penryn) is, as far as I can infer, threatening to call our parents on us. Despite the fact that Jack and I are both adults, responsible for our own actions, and no longer answerable to the people that birthed us.
I have heard reports on the University forums of Heather and Lay being not nice people, I just didn't realise that it could be this bad.
Jesus.
