Landlord stole my deposit and furniture?

Question

I finally moved ouit of the hell hole i was living in and i sold some of my furniture to my ex landlord. i left quite a lot there and he wrote me a cheque to include my deposit and the money for the furniture. three days later he cancelled the cheque and sent me an email saying that he didnt appreciate me complaining to the council. I did this because of a leaking roof and a leaking boiler that were never fixed. He is now refusing to answer my calls, my emails etc and is refusing to give me back my money.

i filed a claim with mcol and it turns out that the bugger has moved, i asked him for his new address and he said that he no longer needs to supply me with his address. so i have a court case against him and nowhere to send it to. i did a register search and he was never registered at any address, dead dodgy if you ask me!!!

Anyone ever had to deal with anything like this? essentially he still has my furniture and my deposit.

Answer 1

I assume you still have the Cheque ?

Well put his name 'Care Of' at the address of the Bank, and proceed with the Court Case (he must have told the Bank where he is & they can forward Counrt letters)
