Abode London

I had the misfortune to rent through Abode a year or so ago. Once I found this site it seemed a good idea to leave a review. When I first moved in, I asked Abode to send me details of their bank account, so I could set up a standing order. 'Dan' provided them and I set it up and duly paid my rent for the next few months. I had a phone call after a few months from S Siddiqui, to tell me I hadn't been paying my rent. As it transpired 'Dan' had given me the wrong details from the property file and I'd been paying it direct to the property owner. I changed the details and expected to hear no more about it. Over the next couple of months, the agency harassed me constantly. S Siddiqui turned up at the house unannounced to tell me that I hadn't been paying my rent, and despite my logging in to my online banking in front of him, and showing him the transactions he continued to maintain otherwise. He would sit in front of the house at 10pm waiting for my housemates to come home from work so he could get in to the house with them, and get me out of bed to harrass me again. I can only assume that Abode had lost fees on account of my paying the money direct to the owner for a few months and were trying to intimidate me into paying extra to try and recoup it. Nothing about this company is trustworthy or professional. It's a mystery to me how they're still in business.
