VRBO - Dishonest Landload Avoid 70018
Link ID 137            
Title VRBO - Dishonest Landload Avoid 70018
Web Address http://vrbo.com/70018
Complaint We put down a $1000 deposit 11 months before we were to arrive. 30 days prior to the arrival I contact Matt Smith to settle the final balance - which was to be put on my credit card. The card was reject due to the cc question of a suspicious charge - rather than calling or emailing us they sent us a snail mail letter - 10 days before our arrival that the card had been declined and they are renting to another party - and keeping the $1000 deposit. Needless to say when I called the credit card co they released the money -but it was too late.
We had to scramble to find another home to stay in -as we had a wedding to go to and had already book the flights.
We ended up in a much nicer property - but for more money.
VRBO was somewhat helpful - but not in getting my deposit back - the Credit card co reimbursed me after reviewing the letters and contract. Found out that you should always use an American Express card - they will always back the card holder in cases of disputes.
