How to track someone down?

I didn't read all the suggestions but I know when I have applied for leases in the past I've been required to give a next of kin. I was told by the real estate that it would be used in the event of emergency or if I disappeared off the face of the planet (similar to what banks do when you apply for a loan). Was the amount more than the bond disposal in favour of the tenants? Is there any way you can peition the court to just make those funds payable to you?

I have the bond back but it is the unpaid rent and water bills etc.

Next of Kin will not release information on their loved ones - been through that before.

I also know that the Electricity company and a number of debt collectors are after them without much success.

This lot sound like professional "Skipper's" :( I know of a couple of ways of extracting the dollars from them & so does Brian Hjelm and Rob Hay but they may not be quite legal :nazilock: :wasntme:

The previous tenants in this place did a runner after 4 years occupancy. The neighbours tell me they shot through to QLD somewhere - left one night - all their furniture - the lot. The landlord has never caught up with them. We still get mail for them and we have been here just on 4 years.

Good luck with your quest.

The pensioner/beneficiary is entitled to draw out the entire amount of the welfare payment in one transaction.

As to garnisheeing bank accounts of welfare recipients, the best of British luck to you. Benos don't usually have anything in the bank.

Sorry, I thought you were making a general statement.
Garrcol hadn't confirmed that the debtors were welfare recipients. That's what I was commenting about.

Bad tenants usually are.
