I inherited a condo in ***************/******** Key when my father passed away. The condo had to be completely renovated due to the damage suffered from Hurricane *** in September 2022. I was finally able to rent it starting in late March 2024. Island Attitude Vacations LLC which is owned by *************************** (also goes by **********************) rented my condo for a week in the amount of $2,000.00. The management company has a commission rate of 15%. The individual paid the rent however I was never given the amount owed to me. In speaking with Island Atttitude Vacations, they stated that any rental income is given directly to IPG Professional ********** and they are responsible for paying the rental income to the condo owners. The renter was in my condo from March 28th through April 5th. I contacted Island Attitude Vacations on April 26, 2024 via email inquiring about the rental income. ***** ****** replied the same day and stated she forwarded my inquiry to ***** ******, the president of IPG Florida. Other attempts were made to Mr. ****** with no response. ***** ****** also explained that there were other condo owners that had not been paid as well. After several more attempts, Mr. ****** finally replied on May 7th and said the check would be in the mail by Friday. I have records of all the emails and still no payment despite numerous emals monthly. Mr. ****** replied one more time on October 18th asking how much I was owed. Responded with the amount and still no payment. I also receive a letter from the State of Florida stating IPG did not file my property taxes. I have attempted to contact ****** ****** as well who is the CEO and he never responds to any communication. This company should not be allowed to be in business, and they are stealing from condo owners.Customer Answer

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We understand the frustration and inconvenience this has caused and would like to provide some clarification regarding your concerns.
First, we deeply regret the delay in issuing the payment owed to you. The circumstances surrounding Hurricane *** and its aftermath presented significant challenges for many property owners and management companies, including disruptions in operational processes. However, we acknowledge that these issues should not have impacted the timely disbursement of your funds.
Regarding your rental income:
The rental payment for the booking from March 28 to April 5, 2024, was processed by Island Attitude Vacations and sent to IPG Professional Management, Inc. We are investigating why the disbursement to you has not been completed.
The delay in communication and response is unacceptable, and we are working to resolve this matter promptly.
Regarding property taxes:
Filing property taxes is a responsibility we take seriously. If there was an oversight, we will address it and ensure compliance.
We are committed to resolving this matter as soon as possible. Our team is actively reviewing your account to verify the payment details and expedite the process. You will receive an update soon with the status of your payment.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and lack of communication youve experienced. Please know that we are taking steps to improve our processes to ensure situations like this do not occur in the future.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
SincerelyEden

I am rejecting this response because I have been contacting IPG Professional Managment, *** for 8 months and they refuse to pay. I have emailed the CEO and President with no commitment to pay. Will not be satisfied until the $1249.25 is paid to me. There has been devastation on ************ where my condo is located and IPG is not in an area that was impacted by the hurricanes, so they have no excuses not to pay. Island Attitude management was working with me attempting to get ***** ****** to pay the rental income and he would not even respond to their managers. They booked the reservation but all funds went to *** and they had no control over paying me . Luckily Island Attitude filed the taxes for me once I told them they were not filed and the State decided not to charge me a penalty. I just want to be paid the rental income owed to me. What ***** ****** did is illegal and is considered a felony in the State of Florida. Please keep the BBB complaint open until a check is issued.

I am rejecting this response because your company has had plenty of time to pay me. I want to know the date a check or ACH transfer will be made. There is no date specified in your response. I have waited 8 months since the renter paid your company. It is an unacceptable business practice not to pay the condo owners especially since I am trying to pay for new AC and electrical after Hurricanes ****** and ******.

The response simply says this person will check on my refund. It does not give me a date of when to expect the refund of $10,819.

This business (IPG Florida Vacation Homes) has made no effort to resolve this complaint. the only response I received from them was that they were passing my complaint on to the administration to resolve and I have heard nothing back as of 2 Dec. 2024.
I received a notice a few days ago from BBB that your attempts to resolve the complaint were unsuccessful and that you would be closing the case as unresolved.
I'm not sure why then I got this notice?

IPG FLORIDA has managed my short-term rental for the last 2 years. My home is 5 minutes from ****** World and it has been full almost every month that we have owned it. We have made very little money in the time we have owned this home due to the fact IPG was showing income coming in barely covering the cost of the utilities. The Month of March IPG did not even show an income in which it had been rented out the whole month except for the last week. IPG was paying my bills late and when we fired them they had not paid my bills for the last couple months and when they did pay the bills they were often late and had late fees attatched. I have reached out several times to IPG to try to get them to pay me money owed and NO ONE WILL RETURN YOUR CALLS.Business Response

I rent my condo out and IPG collected the rental money and was suppose to pay me after they took out their fees. I have not received the rent money for April 2024 payment. I first started emailing the company June 2024 and received one email that said someone will get back to me and let me know when my funds will be deposited. I have emailed them over the last 60 days and do not receive a response. I have emailed the company that makes the reservations for my condo and they forward it to IPG but still no contact. I know that IPG has contacted the reservations company to get my account number for the money, but they should have that because IPG put money in my account in February 2024 for the January 2024 rental.Business Response

We booked a really nice vacation home for my family for a magical ****** vacation. 3 days before arrival I received an email that there was a maintenance issue at the house we booked. So, IPG gave me 3 other options. We accepted one of them. We had a nice time. The house was amazing. We even called them to book another 2 nights which they made very easy. I left ******* to go out of the country and didnt think to check my credit card statement until a few days ago. The $1000 security deposit that was paid to them was never refunded. So I started emails and phone calls a couple of weeks ago. The first initial email response was your request has been forwarded to our accounting team. There was a phone number attached to the email but when I try to call the number, its temporarily disconnected. In fact, all the numbers I have for them on my correspondences are temporarily disconnected.Business Response

Dear ****,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced regarding the refund of your security deposit.
I understand that you had a wonderful stay despite the initial issue with the property, and Im glad to hear you enjoyed the alternative accommodations. However, it's unacceptable that your security deposit of $1,000 has not been refunded and that our communication has fallen short.
Please be assured that we are actively working on processing your refund. I have escalated this matter to our accounting team, and we are prioritizing its resolution. I apologize for the difficulties with our contact numbers. We are experiencing systematic changes which are affecting our phone lines etc.
Thank you for your patience.Initial Complaint

IPG Florida Vacation Rentals owns the property managers who manage the vacation rental I own.Rental revenue deposits due to me have been inconsistent from this company over the past year or so, but now IPG have stopped responding altogether to my emails to them inquiring about payment dates. The last email I received from the president, ***********************, promised I'd receive payment in full Friday, July 12th. Attaching the email. I did not receive payment and not only have I reached out, but the property managers (their operating company) has as well and they have not responded to them either.They've not paid the rental taxes either for several months and have not responded to inquires about the status of their work with the Charlotte County Tax Collector's office.Additionally, their once active website now redirects to a generic vacation franchising site. Your questionnaire asks if a criminal charge has been filed - as I type this, it's becoming increasingly likely that it should be.Business Response
