    Angry Stupid real estate!

    Oh, she's nice to your face, but does she get things done? No!
    Does she try in any way to understand? NO!
    How dare she!

    I got a phone call from my RE (the same one mum & dad are having problems with ) coz I was behind in rent. About a week that I knew of. I knew I had to pay it when I could, but had to get the money first. I would pay Friday & be paid up to the next monday, so really only being 4 or so days behind.

    Anyway, in this phone call she tells me I owe like $600! Thats a whole week that I hadn't even noticed getting behind! No idea how it happened. Anyway I start paying an extra $50 a week to catch up.

    I got that week paid up & am back now to where I was. Thinking she'd be ok if I kept paying the extra $50 a week til I was up to date.

    I just recieved a letter stating that if I don't attend to my arrears that they will have no choice but to issue a termination notice!!

    LIKE HELL! For one, I have to be at least 14 days in arrears for you to kick me out! Second in the Tenants NSW site, if we come to a verbal agreement to pay it off & catch up, that is ok. Thats what I thought I did when I said I will keep paying an extra $50 a week.

    This is crap! how dare she do this! Fair enough at $50 a week it'll take 5 weeks to catch up, but I'm not more than 14 days in arrears! She has no right to kick me out!

    Are you sure you owed that much in the first place? How could it get up to $600 without you realising?
    Have you got your receipts etc?

    She sent me a copy of my ledger for my records. I'm going to go through it & check, but it is all through the computer. Unless they didn't process a payment...I did them all through netbank except one or 2, so I'll go through & check that too.

    Well for the 16 weeks I've been in here I should've paid about $4080. According to her 'ledger' I've paid $4070! I might ring the main office since she's gone home.

    I would ring and have them double check. Years ago we got a letter from the RE saying we were in arrears when we knew we weren't, we rang them and they told us that they couldn't work out who had paid in the direct debit so they sent the letter to everyone who rented from them so they could work out who owed.

    Ok, well the arrears is right, but I still am not sure how I got that far behind, so I'm going to check through my bank statements coz she did ring once before when I'd been in coz she forgot to put it through on the computer...
