So I've found a lovely house to rent with dp, as I'm currently in temporary work and dp doesn't start his job until September (teacher) they said we require a guarantor, fair enough we're fine with that and dp dad is fine with being it as he was for the last one anyway. The estate agent rang me yesterday and said the referencing company has told her they are still waiting on his employer to reply, she told me I need to tell dps dad to get them to do it but when I said he was abroad until saturday she said rather rudely that that wasnt her problem and we need to get him to call them from wherever he is or call them ourselves to speed this up or we risk failing the check.
It's been less than a week since we gave them our details and surely if the company hasn't responded to an email or whatever its their responosibilty to follow that up with a phone call (the referencing service wasn't cheap). Where he works its a small company so likely forgotten or waiting until dp dad gets back from holiday to check with him, what on earth would I even say on the phone to them ' Hi you have no idea who I am but I need you to give a reference to I dont even know the referencing companies name for one of your empolyees as soon as possible please, and no I've no idea how your supoosed to give them said reference...' and I'm not calling the in laws on holiday, they don't even keep their phone on during holidays it stays in the safe and is checking for emergancies every now and then and its the last day tomorrow, if its not done when they're back then I have no issues asking him to go remind admin.
