So my Dad, Kath's mum and dad, my brother, my good old boss and a bunch of friends went in and cleaned the place up with our intention to sell or re-rent.
We didn't want to re-rent, but felt we still have no choice, unable now to afford to pay the mortgage.
Sarah Fryer was court ordered to pay us nearly £5000 and interest is incurred everyday it's not paid.
I doubt she ever got the memo!
So it's up to us to hire ...
Or...
... to track her down, then confront her, then probably suffer the consequences when her crack dealer momma seeks revenge on us.
But anyway, with that 'little' loss we at least have the house back in our possession.... and all the responsibility that goes with maintaining it, paying taxes on it, insuring it and having no tenant.
No matter - hopefully something will come up.
We had £1900 of her money tied up in the security deposit, so that seemed like a good amount.
However we only received £1500 from Kings Letting Agents in Harlow... after much conversations, telephone calls, ignored e-mails and messages and $90 in phone bills later Vanessa and Nick who told us it was a computer error were told by their boss Lucy that it was not... that Kings would not ever give us the full amount because they felt like they'd been cheated a little here also. They felt, poor fellas, that they'd not received the full 10% letting agent fee (which was in a region totalling £1400). They felt that they'd lived up to their responsibility. That the costs of the 10% must be recovered, because they had to cover the costs involved in finding a tenant, in the screening process and application. That they worked very hard on our behalf to do all the things that we, as little specs of sand, could not do by ourselves. So they felt it only fair to steal their 3rd installment of £300 odd quid, and that as a gesture of good will as they 'feel our pain' would let us off the remaining £300.
We should be thankful I guess.
It was very clear in the letter, and I was silly to have thought so ill of a reputable company like Kings Letting Agents in Harlow....
I mean, even for £1000, I would never have been able to listen to a bullshit story from what clearly looked like an anorexic crack whore mom, never bother to actually meet the guarantor, never advise the landlords about the actual council law that had changed a couple of years ago, never bothered to have tried to find any records of the woman or references, and still placed her up as a candidate to the landlords on the other side of the world.
Sure they said she had no references.We were aware of this... I think... I mean.. they said they told us... so it's probably our fault completely.
If I recall... ah yes here it is:
Kings: "Buddyyyyy! :), we got one... she hasn't got any references, but she'll pay £950 per month and wants to live here for a long time, her mother is willing to pay 2 months security deposit and she has a guarantor who is liable to pay if she doesn't. But don't worry because even if she doesn't pay, it'll only be about £100 because the council are paying £880 of her rent anyway, so even if we do have to chase down the guarantor and chase her for a missed payment, your mortgage is still covered right?... oh yeah and she really like the place and has two kids who'll be starting school and the day care opposite is fantastic for her.. plus she's able to move in in mid March, so you don't even have to wait a full month?... what do say eh?... buddyyyyy!!!... who's your man!?... who's your man?
Us: "....."
Kings: "Oh and did I mention that the council are covering £880 of the rent, so even if she doesn't pay the remaining £70 one month your mortgage is covered? plus we can get on to her and the council wll have our back AND she has a guarantor?... budddyyyyy!! :) ... don't leave me hanging :)"
Us: "... well... why hasn't she got any references though?... and what if she wrecks the place... will the council be paying for any damages or anything?"
Kings: "In answer to your first... some divorce things, she's cut up, she has two kids, she loves your house and the location for her kids.. think of the children... messy divorce, actually not messy... but poor nice gentle friendly lady, needs food... in answer to your second.. think of the children... you don't NEED the council, and NO they won't pay, but you don't need them... WE don't need them, it's me and you against the world, just like Nam eh? ...think of the children...... the mothers wants her daughter and her kids secure and is willing to pay a double... did I say DOUBLE DAMAGE DEPOSIT :)... budddyyyy what do you say... let's seal this deal and then go have Mohitos.... it's it's a deal, it's a steal... it's sale of the f***ing century... buddddyyyyyyy???? think of the children... "
Us: "... well ... sounds good then eh? so I mean... you're the man.. I mean you guys know what's going on there so, yeah if you think shes good, and I suppose I... we can sort anything out with that double damage deposit... cool thanks guys - let's do it :)"
True story - I have it recorded here for monitoring and training purposes... uhu.
So yeah... I mean I couldn't have done that for £1000, or £1400.. I mean... maybe a quid?... or just for the LULZ? maybe?
((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Anyway, all she did is not pay the rent and then run out - didn't even do any damage right?, except to the lawn, but that grew back so why do I insist on calling her a crack whore and referring to her momma as a crack dealing ho... some granny next door said she found needles right?, but conveniently "threw them away", and the other neighbour?.. mad ain't she, she didn't like the 'parties or the smell' so of course she'll turn over and say anything.. right?
Wrong... I trust my granny neighbour and the mad one also... because she's not mad and was the only reason we became aware of any of this - because Kings sure as hell didn't do their visit on time.
Oh and there's this....
That's 1/2 a litre of Methadone. If you know what Methadone is then you're probably in a little shock right now..., for those who don't and are still reading... then it's generally used by doctors to ween heroine addicts off of heroine. It has the same sort of affect without the addictiveness type thing, it's synthetic and only make you feel high, without actually being high?... heh ?!?!? heh *coinfused*
They wouldn't really give out 1/2 a litre I would have thought as it could f*** you up. And if you take a look at the bottle... it's not even Sarah Fryers... it's Abul Kahns... whoever the hell he is - another junkie? some poor brown skin who got jacked?
Also if it's not used for it's real purpose - helping crack whore moms to become mums again, it can be used... like cranberry juice or lemonade... as a mixer, when creating a dazzling cocktail of SHIT.
Also Hydrochloride is an ingredient of Crystal Meth.
Why do I think she'd been cooking up Crystal Meth in my kitchen? I could be wrong, but when my Dad said he had to scrub for hours to get the gunge from the baking tray of my £3000 Smeg oven, I thought she'd left a roast chicken on for too long or something- until I saw this picture.
That white powdery, black 'flash boiled' shit don't look like your average chicken fat overspill....
Check this out
How the hell do I know so much about Crystal Meth and Methadone anyway?
Because when I saw these pictures that my Dad sent a couple of weeks ago I went ape shit and scoured the Internet on what these junkies get up to - it's not hard. Battery acid, cough sweets, Hydrochloride, Ammonia and a few other easy to get hold of pharmaceuticals if you mug Abul as he heads out of the 'clinic'.
You only run the risk of blowing up your house... so don't do it in your house... do it in someone else's... rent one. But don't pay rent though, get the council to pay it and use it for a lab - if it blows up disappear, all Keyser Soze like.
Of course... perhaps... Abul is her uncle who brought round Methadone to help his niece ween herself off of her silly long gone habit, and when he ran out he simply left the empty bottle. He really wanted to help her, after all she looked quite anorexic and her kids weren't eating well... she kept on burning the roasts! *titter* silly girl.
I mean.. I could be over exaggerating right?
Anyway. I've yet to turn these photos over to the police, simply because I'm on the other side of the world, the bottle (of which the clean up crew did not know what it was) is gone and the tray cleaned up and ended up getting thrown out also as it was wrecked.
Dad only took these photos as evidence of the state of the place and her 'medicine' that she'd left to try to combat her in court if she tried to say we threw out stuff before she could get there - hence the date.
And anyway, the police won't do anything... because they weren't even willing to listen to my Dad tell them about the paper he'd found with Kaths name and birth date and other 'secure' details written on it, along with a bunch of Freeman's catalogue clothing details... oh yeah - the bitch had stolen Kaths ID and been ordering from Freemans. Forgot to mention that one..
The bill of course was unpaid £300 odd quid or something - Kath phoned them, from here, and got her account up - well of course she could, it's HER details after all - whatever happened to passwords?
How is 'what's your name, what's your date of birth? and what's your 1st line of address?' secure!?!?!
Might as well ask 'What is your name? what is your quest?, what is your favourite colour?'!!!
Of course Kath told them that it was not her, and they told her to phone some fraud department, which she did, who told her not to worry.
So even if it really was Kath who'd ordered it - what are we learning from this?
Order stuff from Freemans, then phone them and say - "it wasn't actually me, I'm in Canada. Check my Blog".
And get off Scott free? They never wanted any confirmation or ANYTHING.
Who is Scott anyway?... oh don't worry I found it. ;)
I hope that they sorted it though otherwise Kaths credits rating is still going down the pan - and how the hell do you find out if Sarah has done this anywhere else to other companies using Kaths name? my name?
So if the police aren't bothered about ID fraud, then they sure as hell won't be bother about some pictures of an empty methadone bottle belonging to Abul Kahn and some roasting tin.
I've had my fill of it. My FILL!
Oh yeah, then the gas company were about to break in the other day - luckily my Dad was there collecting mail frequently - yeah they had a warrant to break in if not answered in 7 days to remove the gas metre - which would cost us a pretty penny to have replaced. £270 odd quid owed to them as well.
Oh yeah, and then last week the TV Licensing company sent a letter there threatening action against her - well us, addressed to occupant.
I tell you I'm so glad we have my Dad there checking the mail as the nightmare never ends.
If he weren't there... jeesus!
Well after that and the month that was November 2010, of course it would be a silly idea, like Camelot, to have another tenant... EVER!!!!!!!
So the house is finally up for sale - once valued at £200K-£210 in a good market (in 2007), now on sale for £180K-£190K.
Been one month, on with two agents, heard next to nothing and keep getting e-mail about dad seeing things on the BBC news website about house prices falling again in November... bad times...
We have no way to pay the mortgage, so we have very little time left to sell it before the men in black come to repossess.
Here's to 2012 - where if I had just one chance, to come back there and tell the man that they may take our house, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!!
