I was in the midst of renting a property from Mckenzie Bowden and they were very quick to ask for the deposit money before any contracts had been signed, I reluctantly did this and never received any confirmation or receipt of payment despite being told I would. When the time came to sign the contracts I was greeted by an incompetent teenager who couldn't get the dates, spelling of names or how much had already been paid correct. We had to have him reprint the contract numerous times and never received a copy of a contract ourselves. We were to be moving into the property the following Saturday, however, the following Tuesday morning I receive a phone call informing me that the owner has no decided to sell and won't be letting us the property. She (the owner) had never signed the contract although she should've done that prior to ourselves. Ian Bowden informed me there was another property available and that it was available immediately, we agreed to view the property and take it if we liked it. The property was not available and the supposed landlord hadn't even exchanged contracts. Baring in mind we had informed our current landlord we wouldn't be staying in the property as of that Saturday, I now find myself with no home. Circumstances changed and I required my money back in full in order to feed myself and get myself to work, it was the 8th of June 2015 I asked for my money back and here I am today, without my money and not getting any form of correspondence back from this shambles of a company. Every time I phone or text or email I get short brief responses from time to time that don't ever answer the questions I'm asking. I hope nobody else has had to put up with this nonsense. Disgusted is an understatement, even after threatening legal action, they don't seem to care and still have my money (unless they've spent it).
