Tennant paid hundred pound holding deposit after three days paid £400 so the holding deposit is 500 then the stories kept changing and I had a feeling that they were supposed to take the rent and full deposit tomorrow which is £3000 I kept getting storage of the money is not coming from India blah blah blah so I decided not to give it to these people I did three credit checks drew up all the paperwork and spent a lot of time creating the tenancy but these people do not seem genuine they are on student visas all three of them from India no proper work references nothing where do I stand returning the deposit any advice please would be appreciated

You have to give it back. You cancelled the tenancy not them. You have to follow the Tenant Fees Act rules on holding deposits.
