Tenancy agreement not signed by other person so I am deemed by lessors to be responsible for all rent. I have written, e mailed, texted my x flat mate (not a boyfriend purely a flatmate) he has sent £120 of the money he owes which including bills and council tax etc is in the region of £2.500. I am paying all of his debts off in small additional payments each month to avoid eviction and disconnection, but I really can't afford to do this, I have full overdraft and student loan that I am unable to reduce because of this (not my) debt. Any suggestions please.

Go the local court and get a small claims form. Fill it in and send it.

In BC Canada if the tenant would not pay lease you supply them note of eviction and they have 10 days to flow yet in the journey that they pay in that 10 days they are legally allowed to stay. The tenants have more suitable rights than the sources vendors, each now and then its more suitable positive to flow through a house organization and then they deal with each and each of the bull for you.

I hope you've learned your lesson about having people sign things. I would say that if this was a private arrangment whereby he paid you what he owed, there isn't anything you can do legally - he's not obligated to pay the rent because he's not on the contract.

Cut your losses now and forget about it. Consider it a life learning lesson. Even with a judgement, it's like trying to pull hen's teeth to get someone to pay if they don't want to or can't be found. Save your time and efforts for something more worthwhile.

threaten him with legal action! this sometimes worries them, Or if you know a solicitor get them to write him a letter - usually about £15, He might be scared enough to pay up, if not your own your own!
Either that or John J will pay it for you! lol

£2,500 hardly worth getting steamed up about, .. you're responsible as the tenant he just has to say you invited him to stay with you but it didn't work out... but if he's a decent guy he'll cough up.
