Hi everyone, I have previously posted on this thread and on the thread READY RENTAL PROPERTY !!!BEWARE!!!
Having read the unfortunate stories that have appeared after my previous warning, may I suggest some possible actions that may help.
I emailed the CEO of On Holiday Group, Steve Endacott a letter on the 25th May 2009 explaining the problems with RRP and the potential consequences to OHG from disgruntled property owners who were not paid by RRP. While I urged the CEO to suspend bookings from RRP pending his investigation of RRP and their known association with conmen, he did not reply to my letter. While I do not know if my letter was a catalyst for OHG to remove RRP from it's site or not, this hopefully has saved property owners further heartache and loss and curtail RRP from getting even richer from innocent property owners. I believe OHG have some questions to answer.
The OHG, Home from Home Brand lists one of their Partners as Furniture Direct Worldwide, whom Companies House have listed as a Director, James Malyon who is also a Director of RRP. As I have noted from the web many people have lost money to FDW this Director's footprint cannot be a coincidence. OHG must have been aware of this Director's involvement in both companies.
As someone on the thread has mentioned. OHG must be holding money due to property owners for rentals not paid to RRP, this was paid to OHG directly by their clients for property privatly owned as OHG were aware. Commission only was payable to OHG from these payments and the balance due to the property owner for the services that OHG's client's have received. OHG were warned in my letter of the 25th May of the potential problems and should have withheld payments to RRP pryor to the result of an investigation.
RRP were paid a listing fee to advertise on the OHG website, the reason many of us subscribed to RRP. We need to know what fee was paid to OHG for this listing, and if OHG have removed our listing from their website then we are due a refund from OHG. There is a case to answer that OHG fully endorsed RRP to sell it's services and failed to do due diligence and care checks on RRP, and that a full refund should be due from OHG.
Many people have mentioned in the thread that their fee to RRP was paid to Key Services or Day Cooper Adams. Companies are not allowed to wash money through third parties, claims should be made through VISA's insurance for these payments if they are out of date or Visa direct if they are not, as you should be able to prove you have had no dealings with these companies.
