Had a call from rent4sure after listing…

Had a call from rent4sure after listing for a prospective new home and having credit checks completed by said company. Recieved a call days later asking about my interest in setting up a virgin media broadband service in the new home.

All seemed to be agreed upon and set up well. I had requested to have the broadband modem sent to my current address as would be still living there for the upcoming 4 weeks before hoping to move. This was agreed upon.
That day I received and email confirming my setup but the problem was they were sending it to my new address which I wouldn't be moving into until the 10th December and to make matters worse they would send me my first bill for the month in November even though I would not be making use of the new Virgin broadband until after I moved into the new home on 10th December 4 weeks from writing this review.

I am not happy to say the least, not only have rent4sure not listened to my request to send my broadband modem to my current address where I can receive it but have also neglected to tell me why I should pay for a service this month that I would not be making use of until the following month.

At this point i am considering cancelling the contract.

Hi Michael,

Many thanks for leaving feedback regarding your situation. We’re very sorry about the frustrations you’ve experienced.

Virgin Media activate the contract and billing for services from the date the tenant receives their router, regardless of the address it is sent to. It is advisable, therefore, to arrange receipt of the router as close to the move in date as possible.

We understand that the delivery has now been rearranged to match your move in date, and we’re delighted that things have been resolved satisfactorily.

Once again, we’re sorry about any confusion regarding the Virgin Media process. We’d like to take this opportunity to wish you well in your new tenancy and hope that everything goes smoothly with your move.

Kind regards

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for leaving a review. We’re sorry to hear that you were not happy with your referencing experience.

When we’re asked by a letting agent to carry out a reference on an applicant’s behalf, we are required to provide them with evidence about whether potential tenants are genuine and have the means to pay their rent on time.

The check must be thorough, detailed and accurate enough in order to allow the agent and landlord to make an informed decision based on all the facts.

Rent4sure does not require any payment from the applicant. Referencing services are charged to the letting agent.

In your case we are satisfied that everything was carried out as it should be, however if you would like more information about the referencing process then please do contact us directly and we would be happy to discuss this with you further.

You can either call us on 0330 088 3774 or email us at enquiries@rent4sure.co.uk.

Kind regards

Rent4sure.

Don't trust.

Rent4sure persuaded me to go with Virgin Media broadband in advance of going into my new apartment. The promise was that when I arrive, I just need to plug in the box and no installation was required. They also made sure that I paid them as soon as possible. I arrived at the flat, broadband doesn't work and installation was required. I enquired from Rent4sure what is happening, and they said they didn't know. They "popped" a mail to Virgin and left it at that. I'm in an apartment with no signal or internet, but R4sure got their kickback. Don't buy the add-on services.

Dear Phillip,

Thank you for leaving a review. We’re sincerely sorry to hear that you were not able to get your broadband connected when you moved into your new apartment. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been for you.

Thank you for contacting us directly when you became aware of the issue.

Rent4sure arranges the product for tenants on behalf of Virgin Media, but we are not responsible for installation and rely on Virgin to provide us with the correct specifications for each individual property.

When you told us about your situation, we advised you to contact Virgin Media directly because this could only be rectified by them. We also contacted Virgin ourselves to make sure they were aware, so that they could arrange a date with you for an engineer to install your broadband as soon as possible.

We hope that this is now underway and that you get connected very soon, but please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us again if we can provide any further assistance.

Wishing you all the best in your new home.

Kind regards

Rent4sure.

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF USING IF…

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF USING IF SELF-EMPLOYED. IF ESTATE AGENTS MENTION THIS COMPANY - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. A TRULY HORRIBLE, STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE. NO RIGHT TO RESIDE REFERENCE, BUT NEED TO SHOW WHERE EVERY PENNY COMES FROM. A SIMPLE CASH DEPOSIT INTO A BANK ACCOUNT IS QUERIED, AS COULD BE "A GAMBLING WIN". ALSO, THEY ARE COMPLETELY CONFUSED AS TO WHAT DIVIDENDS MEAN. DON'T BOTHER UNLESS IN FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT. REALLY UNHELPFUL AND REALLY NOT WORTH THE EFFORT. A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.

Hi Mirella,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry that this was a difficult and stressful experience for you, as this is the last thing we would want any applicant to feel.

Following your review, one of our senior managers has investigated your case to understand the circumstances. We appreciate that the application was not straightforward and needed further clarifications and additional evidence.

Although we’re satisfied that our specialist team carried out all the procedures correctly with the information that was available to us at the time, unfortunately Rent4sure does not make the final decision.

As it would not be appropriate to go into further details on this site, we would of course be happy to discuss this with you in person. You can either call us on 0330 088 3774 or email us at enquiries@rent4sure.co.uk.

Kind regards,
Rent4sure

Negative tenant experience

My letting agency made use of Rent4sure to provide evidence that I was a genuine tenant. Rent4sure promptly completed a credit check, which was great. This gave me hope that I would be able to move into my new property quickly (as I needed to move homes urgently). However, my experience with Rent4sure ended up being terribly stressful. This is because Rent4sure use a rigid income referencing process that is solely dependent on a response from your employer. This may be okay for some people who work for responsive employers, however, I work for a large company that has hundreds of employees. My finance department is very busy and has a backlog of emails, so they could not complete an income reference for me quickly. Two weeks after my application was handed over to Rent4sure, I was told by my letting agency that Rent4sure had stopped my referencing because they hadn’t received an income reference. This put me in a very stressful situation, as I had placed a holding deposit for the property in question, and would lose it if my referencing couldn’t be completed. Though this isn’t directly the fault of Rent4sure, I believe the company should provide an alternative method for tenants to show evidence of their income (particularly in cases like mine where my employer cannot provide swift referencing services). I even suggested this to Rent4sure at the time. In light of the situation I was in, I offered the company several alternative ways of verifying my income; such as a copy of my payslips from the past year (proving my monthly income), an email from my official business account (proving that I work for my employer) and a copy of my employment contract. I could have even offered evidence of my savings to prove my level of affordability. Unfortunately I didn’t get a response from Rent4sure about any of this. Instead, I received email after email telling me to chase up the income reference, which was obviously what I was already doing. In the end Rent4sure cancelled my referencing and my letting agency put the property back on the market.

Unfortunately I would not recommend Rent4sure. They are fully dependent on the prompt receipt of an employer reference, and unfortunately I don’t have much control over my employer’s response time. If I had known this was going to be the case, I would not have put down a holding deposit on the property and would have gone for a letting agency that has in-house referencing services that are less rigid. For instance, in previous situations I’ve been able to provide copies of my payslips, bank statements and evidence of savings to verify my income to letting agencies. In my opinion, I found that Rent4sure’s service was completely inadequate.

Hi Sharon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we’re very sorry to hear about your stressful experience.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to trace any case that fits the situation you refer to and would need more information to investigate this for you. We would, of course, be very happy to do so.

Evidence of income, rather than an employer reference, can be used to complete a reference and we will never fail a reference due to lack of responses before all other options of further evidence have been explored.

Our Referencing Specialists are fully trained and have the knowledge and experience to be able to deal with unusual or complex situations. Team managers also oversee the process to ensure that the highest standards are maintained.

As we don’t have enough details to be able to assess what happened in your specific case, please contact us directly for further clarification. You can either call us on 0330 088 3774 or email us at enquiries@rent4sure.co.uk.

Kind regards,
Rent4sure
