Thanks.
Yeah, that's exactly the situation. I *could* try to recover some emails which I used to send him whenever I transferred money to him, and have the bank statements showing the money being transferred to his account.
So the house was rented in his name, and you just paid him half the rent, but you weren't actually on the contract as a tenant? And that you've moved out now, but your ex has got ALL the deposit from the landlady (because it's in his name) - but you want your half back, right?
If you've got nothing in writing, then it's going to be a battle. Probably just best to keep hassling him rather than taking him to small claims court. Small claims court could work, but you have to pay an admin fee and all that stuff, and I think it works out at around £100 when you add all the fees up, and I guess half the deposit isn't much more than that.
What you could do is have a chat to a solicitors, and get them to write you a letter. Usually scares people into paying up - I did it with my landlord when they didn't give me my deposit back.
I used these guys, and they just did me a letter and told me exactly what I needed to do for no charge. Have a look around for a local solicitors and just fire them an email. You never knowhttp://www.stephensons.co.uk/site/services/individuals/srvdisputes/housing_disputes/

I'm still owed a stupid amount of money by my ex boyfriend and I've written that off as a small price to pay to get rid of a violent piece of pathetic scum.
Yes, it's about £900 he still owes, but he has no assets, he's looking at prison anyway, and even if he doesn't go there I'm not sure I want to stay in touch with him to get it back. He owes so much money that even if he were a decent person I wouldn't see my cash any time soon.
Him not paying me back does annoy me. But the fact I ever lent it to him in the first place is what p*sses me off the most.
It's a hard thing to do, but I'd just give up on getting it back

Jimmy:
Holy sh*t everything's Barry.
Steve-Dave:
Everything's better!
Puffalump:
Barrier
Steve-Dave:
The Barryest it's ever been
Jimmy:
I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"
Steve-Dave:
Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive
Steve-Dave:
It takes like... £13
Steve-Dave:
Barry has to walk 5 metres to his car every day... just to go to work and earn money for DVDs and comic books
Steve-Dave:
His eyesight is so bad... that he has to wear glasses. Stylish rimless glasses which cost €250
Steve-Dave:
His living space is so cramped... that h had to put his workout bench in the garage meaning he doesn't really use it any more
Steve-Dave:
But for just €13 a year... You can help Barry afford a DVD that he heard was good but has been out for a while so it's not as expensive as new DVDs
Steve-Dave:
Please... Give generously... And help save this poor man's DVD shelf from not being completely full because it just looks weird when it's nearly full. I mean, when it's half full, that's fine. But when there's only a few gaps left... it just looks kinda sad.... y'know
Steve-Dave:
Thank you
Rayanne Graff:
It scares me when people refer to themselves in the third person.
Steve-Dave:
It scares Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. too
Steve-Dave:
Like my Grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII Esq. always said: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. gets scared when people refer to themselves in the third person, and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. promises to never do that"
Steve-Dave:
And like my twin brother, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. (or Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. for short) says: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. doesn't like when people refer to themselves in the third person. You and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. must have gotten that from our grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq."
Rayanne Graff:
You nerds crack me up.
Steve-Dave:
Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. all try our best
Rayanne Graff:
... in the pants department.
