She's trying to use logic and explanations to get him to do the right thing. Unfortunately this doesn't work with people like him. He's just laughing at these civilised people playing by the rules...
At this point I'd forget about legal proceedings and arrange for "Carl" to have a visit from some local boys. Might not get the money back but he'd never walk again and might think twice about ripping off anyone else.
You do need to be careful about that, because they too can employ heavies.
Paul Shamplina is a living legend.
A year without being paid?!
Two months after my agent failed to pay me, I instructed my tenants to pay me directly.
Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking that same thing. It's not like she needs a courtorder to pull out a business contract for not performing as agreed upon. ffs. the stupidity of people.
Oh, you INSTRUCTED them! That always solves the problem.
@@gweilospur5877 Well, yeah. My tenants are great. It's the agent I have the beef with.
@donald trumpp Yeah, I guess I’ll instruct the Taliban to stop being naughty.
Why did you use an agent?
He obviously stole her money. The nerve of this man!
after 2 months with this guy not paying her she should have fired him and collected the rent herself big mistake
Carl’s gonna end up on “can’t pay? We’ll take it away!” Claiming he “sold” the business and its trading under a new name. 😂
And his wife owns all the property. Bastard.
In the states he could be arrested and possibly charged federally as well with wire fraud. The courts are absurdly lenient in the UK. God bless her for fighting thus scammer.
in UK ,the police don't attend crime unless its big business , in USA ,the police are very active in most time and respond to 911 for any minor crime or big .
USA is pretty lenient on Trump. 🍊😆
@@aussiemouth747 Ha, well said !
The fact he said he paid it but didn't should be enough to throw him in jail and take money from him. It's outrageous
wow she handled that really well. Id be raging.
How can you owe 20,000 in rent? thats insane.
I don't know if Carl is from Nigeria, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was a Nigerian, because unfortunately a minority of Nigerians have given Nigerians an awful reputation for scams and cons and rip-offs.
The kings of con.
Your comment makes no sense.
@@claire3337He’s saying the guy is a Nigerian conman, like lots of them are, it’s pretty simple really..
@@claire3337you simple
not a minority of Nigerians it is a massive amount of scammers
Margaret needs to sue the Agent, to stop him doing it to other people.
You can’t really sue people like that, like you can in the US.
He is a conman, a sham disguising as a "professional establishment"
He can disappear in the blink of a moment when he is exposed, as he did.
It's a limited company, so he can just bankrupt his company and have the debts wiped.
I don't understand how these landlords let it go so far. If I hired an agent and they did not remit the rent to me I would have them in court after the first month. I would not let it go on for an entire year. I'm very patient and understanding but mess with my livelihood/money/property and all bets are off.
it was her own stupid fault for keeping them hired as her representatives
between 7:54 - 8:03 it literally looks like a scene from the office lmao
Why don't these landlords fire these letting agents. It makes no sense.
You must and should fire your agent.
@@AngelApprentice I live in Canada and we do not have letting agents.
Horrible... and she seems like such a sweet lady... Just horrible
This would never happen in South Africa! I would have had this man half dead in the 1st month he didn't hand over my rent! Period! These guys just take advantage over there!
Champlina Of The Daleks. Guy is sound. Very helpful, strives for justice and on the side of the genuine. Top Bloke.
Why did she let it get this far? She should have instructed her tenants to make payments after the 3rd payment issue. I hope she takes him to court and sues him for everything.
Legal procedures take so incredibly LONG in the UK.
All of these letting agents are so slimy. Wth?? I live in Canada and I've never heard of this. It's like a big scam run by the slimiest of the slimiest. Wow!!
I am in Canada as well. I agree 100%.
Really respect Paul Shamplina! And the lawyer, Chris x i feel so very sorry on the other hand for those who fall victim to landlords/sib letting x
The laws in the UK need to be amended! Really! I'm a landlord in South Africa, with more than 22 Tenants, and not a single tenant would skip a single month of rent, not 1! They would be out on the streets sooner than you can say homeless! And our courts are inundated with criminal cases, they don't have time for delinquent tenants!
Despite being owed £20k , She still didn't learn from her lesson. Because after the guy said he'll get back to her in a months time... It's only after 2 months when he didn't get back to her... only then did she decide to chase up on him!
I freaking love Paul .
He's good people. 💖
Carl would be hooked up to tubes on life support if that was my property
Exactly! The law in this country doesn’t protect the decent people.
@@marcwareham9351 one time most the people had common sense, but now it's very lacking. What a shame
AMEN!!!!
If it was my property he would be playing with the Angels 😇😇😇 I 🤔
Unfortunately, Margaret is too soft and he took advantage
Thats why you dont just give your property to any agent, specially one like this. You need to do your research and look for legitimate credited agents.
Fricking thief! He knows he stole her money. I hope she took him to court and made him bankrupt. That’s why he took off cause he knew he most likely would have lost in court
@Billy The Goat in America that doesn’t matter. If you stole you stole. You are personally responsible.
@Billy The Goat in America when they don’t have any assets they take a percentage of their wage till the debt is payed off.
@@michaelchapman1258 who cares what its like in America, this has nothing to do with America
Why let an agent take a fee for doing nothing but paperwork.
If the house is up to standard at the time of renting, the chances of needing the agent is slim to none.
So you’re paying 10% of the rental price every month for them to print the initial contract.
It depends on how close you live to the property e.g. very common down south to buy a house of north and pay 8-10% to a letting agency to manage. Worth the cost and time of travelling up and down
@@Asif24960asif: No, that is called LAZINESS
The truth is, you can't really trust anyone. The only exceptions are if you have parents who are selfless and will do anything for you, beyond that, I don't trust anyone 100% where someone could ruin me or take advantage of me.
lies.... see i dont trust you either lol
You should put other people first
@@bevanbuckwheatshea5520 You’ll end up burnt out, overweight, and have hypertension
abolish renting, make houses affordable for everyone. A home should be a basic human right.
I would go with that guy to the deep forest with a shovel. The money he owes would appear in my hands very quickly.
What a stupid thing to say...🤔🙄
5:42...you have the right idea with the boards right outside of his business...very cute also which i'm sure helps with sympathy as well
just do it on your own ... you wuld be better off without these agents
When i saw the agent i understood the situation precisely.
Everyone should take note of his face and post it on social media sites before he does it again
Lettings agents do have to operate to legal requirements and this sort of thing makes me really really angry because these damned dodgy agents give us honest agents a bad reputation as we get tarred with the same brush. I have operated for 12 years, openly and honestly, working hard for my landlords and my tenants and doing everything I can to make everyone happy and to operate legally and totally above board. It makes me want to scream!!! Most agents are good people, please don't condemn us all. And I love my job but I have to admit I am looking forwards to retiring next year! Paul, you are spot on about checking out your agents credentials, it's not difficult and can save a mountain of pain. Keep up the good work. And bad agents... go boil your brains, idiots!!
PG: I am very sorry to say that I have dealt with over 30 different agencies all around the UK, and ALL OF THEM WITHOUT EXCEPTION have been pretty bad, whether buying or selling, all they are good at is lying ‼️
Trying to view a property? Oh the owner has not given us the keys: is away on holiday ... and so it goes on. Selling: no-one has shown any interest ... but when I swapped to another agent I had FIVE viewings lined up ...
I've even phoned about a property and refused a viewing, so I said I would make an offer and was told very bluntly "You cant put an offer in on that property" (but NAEA states all interested parties should be treated equally and offers can be placed right up to exchange.)
You need to jump on the other side and see the REAL life of agencies 😠😠
poor lady. Surely she can bring a claim to the director of the company for damages as the result of a director’s negligent infringement of his duties
Dont you mean stupid lady?
I'm afraid That guy is the director, the admin, the cleaner, the marketer, the customer assistant, the manager, even the complaints handler... of this con operation!
Carl is a crook
my new favorite show! watching from across the pond !
Very easy to get a judgement in England, needs reformed so harder to get but harder to undo and easier to enforce.
The Daleks in the back! Ahah love it!
Here in the province of Quebec, Canada for exemple if the tenant is 3 weeks late on the rent the landlord can file for an eviction and 4 to 6 weeks later the tenant is out on the street. Also you don't need a lawyer, just maybe a bailiff to serve the tenant with the eviction documents and it cost a few hundred dollars, not thousands like in the UK.
A fool and his/her money are soon parted. This agent misses one payment and she's not all over him? She continues to let him collect money from her tenants?
As a Registered Landlord with 2 Councils since 1984. I take exception that this programme which seems to treat ALL Landlords as if we ALL are Scum! This is NOT true. Would I have continued in Business for over 35 Years? The answer is NO. Another aspect is the couple who were 1st time Landlords, who quite frankly had NOT ONE CLUE as to how be Good Landlords, OR even just Landlords! What a silly way for them to simply buy a property 350 or so miles away And only step foot in it first time once problems with Tenants/ Police etc. Obviously they did NOT choose a Reliable Experienced Letting Agent . Who should have inspected their property every SIX weeks or so. Carefully checking EVERY room & cupboard / both sides of All Mattresses etc. They then should have forwarded their Report of Property Condition to the Landlords!It beggars belief that so many folk are trying to become Private Residential Landlords without ANY experience nor Knowledge of the latest / up to date government requirements / legally required items! No wonder their tenants do NOT show RESPECT to them.
Margaret. You're lovely. But please sue the estate I would
It's always the same "faces" running the scams.
Does piss me off when i hear people saying i cant afford two mortgages. Ok so you have one already for yourself and now youre not happy with what youve earned and want more so get a second one you cant afford and pass on the cost to someone who rents because they really cant afford a mortgage so you get two houses at the end of it. Its greedy simple as that youre inflating costs to people who will never own a property and are shocked when they fall on hard times. That was only directed at the chaap who said her cant afford to pay two mortgages. Its simple DONT BORROW MORE THAN U CAN AFFORD. Instead of relying on minimum wage or close to people that can barely scrape by. Its totally wrong people not paying their rent but some peoples greed catches up with them and then they cry about it i have no sypathy. Idiots absolute idiots.
Why do so many property owners bother hiring a letting agent in your country? why don't they take on the responsibility themselves?
Is a letting agent required by law?
Take him to court and when you win transfer it to the high court bailiffs easy
Then we'll watch it on Can't Pay, We'll Take it Away.
Perfect crossover.
Love your Dalek collection.
Paul I sure could have used you a few years ago when I had a terrible tenant. He had the gull to tell everyone that would listen to him that he owned my house. But he really didn't know that he was talking to friends who knew better and informed me of what he had been saying. He ended up breaking many of my concerns in my lease with him. And he ended up doing a runner. And I got him in court where he couldn't lie because of all the people he had been talking to one of those people was my attorney who as I mentioned knew better and knows what is what and who is who. I got my money and damages plus legal fees. I then had a new tenant that still is in the house and she has a huge hug and a cup of coffee for me when ever I visit or go to babysitting for her. Yes I will mind her children and she appreciates her landlady
“Mind your own business!”…… That’s what she should have done from the start.
Why didn't she manage the property directly to begin with...?
The audacity of the letting agent. 😤
He's a conman , disguising as one!
The worst part... Is that after all this, these nightmare people will just move on and terrorise someone else. These people should be banned from renting and be forced to live in tents in a field.
Take him court, you try the nice way then the hard way.
So glad you made your own channel!
Love your series of evicting non-paying tenants! Keep it up!
I sorry but its her fault that it got to £20,000 in unpaid rent. Why did she wait so long? The first thing I would do is take over the management by seeing the the tenants and instructing them to pay me directly instead of the agent or face leaving the property when the first month rent did not arrive from the agent and then pursue the agent for the missing rent. How can you owe £20,000 in rent only to take action at that point? pure laziness comes to mind.
Push your Gov to change the laws. He should be put in jail till he pays it off. I'm sure he would pay real fast
How is going to pay it off from behind bars?
Darn good program
Was watching an earlier episode where it says the law had changed regarding domestic squatting but not commercial, where I live if you break into a commercial property its called breaking and entering, also whats stopping me from going to rob my local pub at 3am, getting caught and simply saying I am a squatter???
Why didn't she go to the redress scheme? Letting agents are obligated to belong to one - mine didn't
How does he not owe the money if he owned the company? Since the company owed her money then she should still get the money when the company claimed bankruptcy or closed its doors right? Im so confused. This would not fly in America
nor Australia
How is it "legal" to steal these days? Why dont they throw these scammers in jail?
Landlord should hide his face in shame.
Why on earth did you ask cousin Benson to manage your property in the first place? And to leave it being managed for longer than 2 months without payment is madness.
Get the sherifs involved, they'll get her money
Your ocean blue eyes are mesmerizing!!!!!
What a criminal 😮😮 why he's not in the jail? This poor polite lady...😮 shocking
You guys should put faces and names of them rip off artist on tv commercials or on the front page of the news papers maybe make flyers and hand them out to as many people as you can So they have other chances to rip off anyone else
Take him to court and get the bailiff to force him to pay and seize goods
Hire a couple of handy lads have the money is 30 minutes No court required
its really is a shame he should not be operating as an estate agent , his license should be revoked
My renter loves me. I charge $300 A month for a tiny home in Hawaii.
Hey Paul!! I like the Daleks in your office.
The last video I watched in my queue ended with Paul encouraging landlords to engage a letting agent. This video came up next. "Rogue letting agent" lol So maybe not such a great idea.
I don't know how long ago this video actually is, but the admistration to get the judgment has been speeded up. However, makes me wonder if this is criminal aswel. I think the reason landlords don't pursue legal action sooner is the process and legal cost. However, he has actually stolen twenty thousand pound of someone money. The British Court isn't as sue happy like the USA. And if they get a judgement and he does a vanishing act it could take years to track him.
So I you trust a letting agent and they don't do the right thing with the tenants deposit ,the landlord is responsible and may have to pay 3 times.Its not worth renting out a property
I wonder why she allowed this man to collect the rent instead of the tenants paying her the rent
This is an interesting (albeit a bit narrow) series but, having seen many episodes, the series is heavily tilted towards dealing with bad tenants rather than bad landlords. I've just seen three consecutive episodes on TV in which all exclusively feature dealing with bad tenants, I would doubt very much that there is any episode that only features dealing with bad landlords. Even the ones with a mix of the two are generally more about bad tenants than bad landlords.
Bad estate agent, right.. but what about her? Why is she been so stupid of not chasing the money earlier? I find no reasonable explanation.
I’ve dealt with this bloke before. He sent me an email saying I’ve won the Nigerian lottery and I just need to send him £20000 to claim my prize..
hi my tennants have signed a cash for keys agreement and have to vacate my property in two weeks time. What should i do if they fail to leave on the agreed date
Goodness, if you cannot even trust the letting agents, what does one do? People have no morals any longer. Just shameful. Sorry she waited over a year to do anything legally about that criminal. These types get a judgement but they don't pay or they shutdown their business and open a new one with different name.
8:00 the (I AM FUCKED) face
She works for a security company. Cant they help?
You need to go into his office with two big Rottweiler dogs, you will get a reaction from him.
You might want to include outright thievery by Property Managers. So caled, property managers.
I feel bad for this poor woman because the legal action would have cost her a fortune as well….he is a thief
Olatunde Afilaka :you are a disgrace!
Her fault for Not Checking him out!!!
I really like Paul Shamplina and more power to him, but I always wonder why some landlords just don't bother to take out landlord rent guarantee insurance and thoroughly reference some of these scum tenants before letting them in their properties. And if you do both these things you don't need an agent.
I don’t feel sorry for landlords. They need to do a monthly inspection and if a tenants rent is more than 10 days late then out they go.. Why doesn’t the courts change to help landlords.. People who rent , rent for a reason. They can’t get a mortgage and their income is probably low and paying rent will probably be a job..
why has she not told the tenants to stop paying him .
Count.
Hey Mr. Paul Shamplina You seems to be a nice guy! Cheers mate
This whole letting agent thing is a weird concept. We don't have them in Hungary, where I live. You colkect your own rent.
If you do not pay your COUNCIL TAX you get taken to court. Tenant who do not pay their rent should have to pay the landlord all back arrears and all costs that are incured during their eviction by law. Complicated issue lots of folks find themselves in financial difficulties from no fault of their own? Letting agencies should have to register to an organisation that guarantees their clients rents are paid or if they fraudulent should be jailed and their assets consvicated. Bad place The UK we cannot provide shelter at an affordable price HEAVEN HELP US. UNLESS YOU ARE WEALTHY AND PROBABLEY VOTE TORY
