At PR Scully & Co Solicitors, we are specialists in Tenancy Deposit claims. We stand up for tenants whose private landlords break the law by failing to protect tenancy deposits within the legally required 30-day period. Our mission is simple: to hold landlords accountable and secure justice for our clients.
We recently secured a court judgment against a professional landlord who unlawfully failed to protect our client’s tenancy deposit. Despite multiple opportunities to resolve the matter, the landlord failed to engage with us and the legal process.
Having secured judgment, the landlord still would not pay. Having instructing bailiffs the landlord still would not pay. Although they located the landlord’s residential address and visited on several occasions, they were unable to make contact.
We will not stand for any Defendant behaving badly and so we took decisive further action by obtaining a Third Party Debt Order, which legally freezes the debtor’s bank account. This strategy was successful—an interim payment toward the judgment debt was recovered directly from the frozen account.
As the debtor owns multiple properties under a company name, we are now in the process of applying for a Charging Order to secure the remaining balance against their assets.
At PR Scully & Co Solicitors, we don’t just win cases—we follow through to enforce judgments and deliver results. We will do whatever it takes to make sure landlords who break the law are held to account.
