A number of tenants have contacted us expressing concerns after having received calls from unknown numbers stating that they are calling on behalf of the Council, from the ‘Repairs Team’ or the ‘Disrepair Team’. These calls or sometimes social media posts are often made by ‘claims farmers’ working on behalf of ‘no-win-no-fee’ solicitors. If details are provided a disrepair claim is logged and we are hearing numerous reports that tenants are tied into unfavourable terms and are often left to pay significant court costs. One of our tenants was recently caught up in one of these agreements and received a CCJ ordering them to pay MDDC £9750.
