Alistair Barrett-Powell rented my villa January February and March of 2018 and kept all of the collected rent money. He owes me over $9300.00 in rent and over $1000.00 in damages to my property, which included; burned vinyl siding, oil stained carpets, molding destroyed by renters dog. The VIR Group have been evicted from their office, and the owner, Alistair Barrett-Powell, was evicted from his own rental property. They also owe 100’s of other landlords 1000’s of dollars. There is a class action lawsuit in progress, with the Florida’s Attorney General! They have done this other times in the past, under different company names. His husband Charles "Jeff” Barrett-Powell, has filed for a new license under the company name, Vacation Rental Shop. They just keep running the same scam only changing the company name!!!
The VIR Group owes me over $7,600. They have shut down their web site, changed the name of their company (I remember seeing the update on their web site before it went down, but forget the new name), and their emails no longer work. We entered into a 3-way agreement with Rented.com, but it seems The VIR Group is not going to hold up their end of the agreement (to continue to manage the property). So now, Rented and I will have to clean up the mess.
They owe me over $8300 in rent monies. I now have renters calling me directly asking me what's going on. Their web site is down, their phone number rings and rings. I believe they skipped town.
Alistair Barrett Powell/VIR Group has refused to pay us money that he's collected from our renters. He owes us at least $9,000. We're sure more as he banned us from seeing our owners statements. He continiously bullies us with threats!
