Deposit refund

I am still awaiting for my deposit refund, I received a text from Portfolio department confirming there won’t be any charges on my move out and ever since then I heard nothing. I’ve been writing and asking for way forward and had no feedback. I enjoyed my stay in Stuttaford and never had any issues, this is disappointing me now.

Hi,

Stuttaford House, unit 406.

Upon checking my account portal with you, it shows that a deposit allocation was done yesterday. There’s a credit balance of 5.5k

What I want to know is when will these funds be refunded to my banking account? There is no communication at all from your side.

YOUR DEPOSIT IS REFUNDABLE WITHIN 7 WORKING DAYS PROVIDED THAT:

You have signed the snag (check) move out list.
There are no damages to your unit (where damages exist this can take up to fourteen days).
There are no arrears on your account.
You have served the term of your lease (a penalty or forfeiture will apply where this is not the case).
Proof of current banking details have been attached. 

Should you need any further assistance or require any additional information, do not hesitate to contact us at *** or telephonically on ***.

You are starting to **** me off now, I moved out of Stuttaford on the 29 June. I was advised of all this process and acted accordingly.

  • I signed the snag
  • Your Portfolio department confirmed there are no damages, therefore I won’t accumulate any charges (case no:247686)
  • I’ve never paid late within the 2yrs I spent there
  • I have fully served the term of lease
  • And attached my banking details to your snag and gave them to your building manager

All this has been done and it’s been more than damn 7 - 14 “working” days

All I want to know is when am I going to be refunded my money, not this nonsense.

This is starting to annoy me now and I’m never going to consider your apartments in future. You’re inconsiderate that we also affected by the virus and have bills to settle with the money that you’re keeping to yourselves. That’s my money and I’m tired of playing nice now, please refund it ASAP.

While at it, get me someone who knows his or her job there cause I told you on the portal I can see deposit allocation and a credit balance (money owed to me)

Therefore, I want to know when will that be refunded to my bank account. Not this nonsense you telling me which I’ve already done.

When? I don’t understand what’s so difficult in refunding my deposit. You’re inconsiderate, I’m going to find a way to escalate this further tomorrow if my refund is not processed. I’m tired of your empty promises
