Hello Fellow ADDers. I hope you are all well. Greetings from Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Firstly, I was diagnosed last July (08) with ADD (non medicated) and I am having difficulties adjusting to the 'New Me'. So are a lot of other people, especially those who are ignorant. I am English living in Glasgow and have plans to move back. A friend of mine is helping me to do this by flat hunting for me. He found a place on Tues 28 April and put a deposit down for me. He completed the form and sent it up to me to sign and I returned it directly to the letting agency. As my friend is Guarantor on the rent he had to include his details and did this in a separate application which he handed in to the letting agency on the same day the agency received mine. They told my friend that my ID was perfect (my passport photo, a utility bill and documentation with my Social Security Number). Then my friend 'let slip' that I have ADD and now the agency are demanding 6 months bank statements to 'see how responsible I am with money'. I feel very insulted by this request and at the moment I am refusing to issue these as no other letting agent I have been with has ever asked for these, and other agencies usually ask for 3 months. My friend is going away for a week and said he will sort this out when he gets back. If he hadn't of said something they wouldn't need this information. Now I feel victimized and feel as though I'm having my finances - and purchases - scrutinized just because I have ADD. I know that things are different in the US to the UK, so think I am here to basically vent my frustration, but if there is any advice or someone would like to say something I thank you in advance for your time. With blessings in frustration.CharlotteJayne.
