SIGNATURE LONDON Unit 12 Town Quay Wharf, Abbey Road, Barking, IG11 7BZ were expelled from the Property Redress Scheme on 13th March 2018
BEWARE! BEWARE!

They are now trading as -

SIGNATURE LONDON
Unit 12 Town Quay Wharf, Abbey Road, Barking, IG11 7BZ

These Cowboys need to be shut down and reported, they took £1850 of my deposit!

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10486471/officers

The link above shows being run by Mohsin Tahir with a new name or using family members

Everyone needs to report these, I am not sure what to do, I cannot even afford a solicitor and now need to save for another deposit!

If you google these guys look like they were also previously doing these scams under FRAZER KNIGHT. Also were on Channel 5 and the BBC. Signature London need to be investigated, under surveillance or something so it doesn't happen again!

trying to help a tenant to get back his deposit. The kicker is that mydeposits gave back the deposit to Signature London!!! hence deposit has now disappeared, leaving the the tenant with no deposit for a deposit scheme.

Local Trading Standards need to act fast when they operate/restart as another company. Companies House need to be aware. The Redress Scheme needs to work and the The Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) have responsibility for monitoring the Tenancy Deposit Protection Schemes. They all have part in this paving a easy ride for these fraudsters!!!


Any have their mobile numbers - these could be potentially investigated by TS to find an address - take them to court and seize assets and properties.
Anyone have any CCTV video footage / pictures that could be circulated

I've just watched a TV program called BAD TENANTS ROGUE LANDLORDS and they showed this agency. That's why I made a search. And I just don't believe that even after they appear in the tv, they continue to do that. Be careful, guys! Wishing good luck for you :)

I wish I had seen this thread before meeting those scumbags. They found me from gumtree as i had put my property on to let. Sara and Naila would call me all day every after 1hr to hand over the property to them as they have the best tenants around. I got into their trap and signed an agreement for 1 year. Initially naila said I will get 1 month advance and 1 month deposit paid to myself. Later on she refused to give anything. She took the keys off me and let tenants get into the property before the agreement even started. Took £900 off from tenants. Also almost £5k deposit and rent. When asked about deposit, naila said she doesnt have any idea about it. Asked about rent and she goes she needs to discuss this with payment department. Atlast paid me after 3 weeks my first rent. 2nd rent paid after a month late. During that period called them bunch of scammers million of times but those idiots wont pick up nor reply to txt/email and at one point blocked me. I had to call from 10 different number to get hold of them. Deposit has been put under the name of James Bond not under the agency's name. Their website doesnt exists. Email provided on deposit scheme doesnt belong to the company. Tenants asked about the deposit were told to f**k off. Threats given to me and to the tenants. Please stay away from them. You need any information about them then i can certainly share my experience with you. If anyone can help me with how to get the deposit back please contact me. Thank you

He raised his voice saying that they would issue a new invoice to pay the money by a certain date but of course it's not all in my account.

Carter Stones took the opportunities to bring tenants while I was marketing through visum.co.uk. I made the mistake to choice a tenant the bring in. They said the tenant by saying that there was my agent and they I was just a contractor working in the property. They convince the tenant to give them the deposit and the first month instead to give it to the tenant. I gave the key to the tenant but the tenant could not give me the deposit and rent as Carter stones took it away. ...
