Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I have a few properties registered with the PRTB. When I go onto the website and select a "registered" property (not an inactive one), then click either update or renew, I get the message for all of my registered properties..
"This is not a valid update application. Please select a Tenancy application with a status of Registered".
This has been happening for months now and the PRTB have not responded at all with my queries over this problem.
I was trying to register with the PRTB website on or about July 20th 2015 to file a claim against a landlord for breach of the tenancy agreement, it has been the most frustrating site I have ever tried to sign-up for or that I have ever encountered. I have four advanced degrees, two in Law and a masters in law and I have been a web designer for ten year plus. The PRTB website developer/s knew what they were doing when they created it, it is one of the most fraudulent websites I have ever encountered because on-line and after about 8.5 hours straight; trying to figure out the whole website today could honestly say without a doubt, I would label the PRTB website as the biggest governmental fraud in Irish history, to obviously steal your rights! First, you they got more security features to create an account than a major bank would have. Then, they’ve got these glitches in the portal/server that log you off, over and over, or simply keep you going in circles: click next; click next; then they simply get click you off, and even if you can get through to the next level, it is a merry-go-round all the way, from the get go; flagrant and intentional too!
Later, when your frustration settles and you decide to try it another day, there is goes again… Additionally, the PRTB say you can modify things but even that’s a big-fat-lie! You cannot even cut-paste or in your text boxes when creating a new or subsequent case, this is after you pick what kind of case your alleging. They don’t explain anything, such as: a possible word-count limitation in your text boxes or anything, or whatever that could be preventing you from going to the next page after you click next. So, again it is a FAKE website. Because I have seen Fake websites they and they are specifically designed to A. prevent you from using the site, B. to collect your details and C. to load viruses such as malware and spyware you name it.
I would have to say the PRTB website was not flawed in its design at all, but manufactured to prevent people from using the PRTB website altogether. If there was ever book on how to defeat a person from using a website, and I am sure there is, the code used to write the PRTB’s webpage’s is the exact same used for FRAUDULENT websites that hack your details then roll from one page to the next with no real purpose but to discourage users, and the reason the FAKE websites do it is so you won’t come-back! So, if you ever find site blacklisted as FAKE then you will know what I am talking about. The web designers of the PRTB were so cleaver and through that they have even blocked all traffic to your querries, this is what a VIRUS does or act like, again all hallmarks of a fraud or FAKE! So, even if you were to ask GOOGLE by typing in your textbox “what-is-going on with the PRTB”, the developers simply Hogged-up all the subsequent webpage’s with help pages that way people won’t catch on or complain too much; you will be simply left out in the dark, and the landlords know it too. Then, as an added bonus the PRTB simply says your case is closed in the tick-box, not open, pending or paid but CLOSED CASE, so if you move house, how are you going to even let the PRTB know? I have wrote to them over a dozen times with my reference numbers and so on… and Nothing! Zip! It is a FRAUD in the strict legal sense, not in the loose fraudulent usage. So, I hope everyone will pass this on, and call their government representatives because the more people who call, and scream FAKE Fraudulent website then the more likely we can get it pulled, and I am not saying fix it either, by allowing the same gangsters to re-create another website, that is not good enough! Hope this answers your questions, sorry if there are any typos here, 10 hours on-line is way too much. All the Best!
