UVW tell Estate Agent to Pay Up

Hunter Home Properties Ltd, Goodmayes. Fri 11 Sep 2015

  

 
 I met the group of UVW members outside Goodmayes station

 and they walked the short distance to the office which Hunter Home Properties Ltd share with other businesses

 They marched in and confronted Mr Usman Bhatti asking him to repay the £5,500 Carlos was owed

 Only the closest desk belongs to Hunter Home Properties Ltd

 

 Mr Bhatti is confronted by Carlos and Petross. A man from another business in the office watches

 

 Usman Bhatti took the £6,500 - Carlos's life savings - as the deposit for a rented house. But the property was

 already occupied - and apparently was not actually on his books. It seems clearly to have been fraudulent

 but the police have refused to take an interest, saying it is a civil matter. Because of paying out the money for

  another property he expected to move into, Carlos became homeless, and spent some time living on the street.
 
Another businessman running a different company holds his hands to his ears as the protesters confronting Usman Bhatti make a lot of noise 

Usman Bhatti argues 

with Carlos and Petross  

One of the placards carries a large copy of a cheque written to Carlos by Usman Bhatti - when the money to
cover it was not in his bank. This also seems to be fraud but the police will not take any interest. 

Petross and Carloss confront Usman Bhatti and ask for the money back 

Bhatti didn't deny that he owed the £5,500 but said he needed time to pay. Alrready Carlos has been trying to get it for around 2 months 

Hunter Home Properties Ltd is this single desk by the window 

The protest continued outside while talks went on inside
