Peabody Vacations LLC
Jeffrey Hirschkorn, President Gave him the benefit of the doubt because it's the right thing to do... Wrong!

I purchased a vacation package from Peabody Vacations on November 16. Coincidentally, this is the same date that the first posting about this company appeared on usacomplaints.com...

Jeffrey Hirschkorn, President of Peabody Vacations LLC, is a very personable fellow, and it's probably the reason that I was overly patient, and willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I gave him ample time to make good on his promises, but he ultimately failed to do so.

I truly would have preferred to post a rebuttal to the negative comments that appear on this forum but, sadly, my experiences are similar to others that have been appearing here in recent weeks...

*Never received a "package" containing details of the trip for a 15 day review.
*Frequently called their phone numbers and found them to be non-working or disconnected.
*Found charges on my credit card that were either unauthorized or of an amount that far exceeded the price quoted by Jeffrey Hirschkorn.
*Lies, lies, and more lies!"I'll send the confirmation numbers when I get back to the office."; I'll call you back in twenty minutes."; Your package is complete and I sent it out via Priority Mail this morning."; I have upgraded your accommodations for the cruise, and your (recently engaged) daughter and future son-in-law will be recognized during the Captain's Dinner."; "I will (fill in the blank)... I PROMISE!"

I received the following e-mail on Jan. 16 (supposedly written by Jeffrey's father), in response to several unanswered e-mails and phone messages that I had left for Jeffrey on Jan. 15: "My son just got home. He was rushed by ambulance with a blocked artery. He is doing fine and will be returning to work on Sunday to finish all reservations." I had no reason to doubt that...

Complaint #538596, update #2, alleges that Jeffrey was arrested on Jan. 15 for identity theft, grand theft, 2 counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, and forgery. Given all that I have been through, I am convinced that the only thing that was blocked that day was Jeffrey's exit from the police station...

I am now in the process of disputing credit card charges not made or authorized by myself, and making new plans for our Florida vacation and cruise. It makes me sick to think about all of the time I have wasted and stress I have endured by dealing with Jeffrey!

I have also filed a complaint with the State of Florida, and I hope they revoke his license to sell vacation packages. If you have been scammed by Jeffrey Hirsdhkorn, I highly recommend that you do the same!!
