Deposit Protection Scheme report dozy tenants

Tenants can be very dozy.

According to the Deposit Protection Service many tenants forget to update their contact details with the DPS after moving out of the rental property.

This means the Deposit Protection Service is unable to trace them to pay back their deposits.

The DPS reports that 8,000 tenants have failed to update their details and therefore are unable to have their deposits returned.

However, as someone who is moving house on Friday I do have my sympathies, the problems I've had trying to sort out all my changes of address and utilities has been a nightmare, especially my new telephone and broadband.

If my experience of TalkTalk and BT are anything to go by the Ofcom complaints line must be at melt down.

Does anyone know where they recruit the rottweilers on the BT cancellation desk from? Is it Battersea dogs home? What an incredibly nasty bunch!
