Around the end of April or the beginning of May I contacted an ad from Craigslist in regards to a one bedroom apartment for $775 in the Washington heights area. After expalining to the man I needed an elevator or a first floor apartment because I have two small children the man told me had an apartment on 133rd street for $850. I agreed to go view the apartment.
When I call back a lady by the name of Ms. Angela Jones picked up the phone. Ms. Jones scheduled for me to view the apartment. Upon viewing the apartment I paid $125 for credit check. I waited for nearly a month before hearing from Ms. Jones again. When I heard from her she told me I was lucky they were still holding the apartment and I needed to provide them with one month rent and security if I wanted them to hold the apartment while the city review my application.
I provided her with two postal money orders for $1700.00 on 6/4/07. Ever since I gave her the money I have been getting the runaround. The latest thing she requested from me on Monday, August 6 is a Guarantor making $60,000/yr and employment verification. I am a single mother strugglling to take care of my two children on a single income and I cannot afford to lose almost $2000 that easily.
I want as many people as possible to come forward so we could file a class action suit against Pernell Vassell, Ms. Jones / Jenkins and/or Ms Keshia MacDonalds.
