Littlehampton Molica Franklin
DO NOT USE THESE ESTATE AGENTS. Me my partner and 6 year old were
due to move in today 25.9.23, all our referencing was complete until Matthew Overington said that there was a CCJ on my credit file, I was totally unaware of this and was sure this had to be a mistake, I was given the number for the court to call and was told if I failed to provide proof of satisfaction of this ccj I would lose my holding deposit… I rang the courts whilst at work to get this straightened out and was on hold for 2 hours only to be told they cannot access a ccj without a reference number, at this point Molica Franklin was closed so I called back and said do you have any reference number for me as I was not given any further information just that I had an unsatisfied CCJ, once they gave me the reference I called again and was on hold for nearly another 2 hours, only to be told this CCJ has been paid in 2021. I told Matthew on 22.9.25 that it’s been paid and I will provide proof, I didn’t get a confirmation email from the solicitors of this CCJ being satisfied until 24 hours later and when I sent the proof of payment this was Matthews response. “The landlord is now apprehensive about moving you both in because you have an outstanding CCJ” as you can imagine I was furious and called to speak to the manager Aaron who offered little support and sympathy, saying that “if you didn’t have a CCJ in the first place then you would have passed the referencing” a very insensitive comment considering he is unaware of my circumstances. My tenancy ends early October, this abomination of a letting agency has now left me my partner and a 6 year old at risk of homelessness because their records are outdated and incorrect, they have tainted my name by passing on information and have caused defamation to me making the landlord believe that I have outstanding CCJ to my name. highly unprofessional service, inexperienced team who have jeopardised my chance of finding a home, showed a lack of empathy or willingness to help me, I’m appalled, let down and shocked that this level of incompetence can come from such a ‘trusted’ estate agents. Will be avoiding this estate agents at all costs and suggest everyone does the seem at risk of being let down 2 days before the move in date, not only that the money I have wasted with arrangements for the move, time taken off work to make the move and time wasted on hold to provide them their proof to pass referencing only to be told we now haven’t got a chance because they’ve passed on FALSE information about me, shame on you
