Traveling & Tourism

On Januray 21th I used the Web page of homeaway to find a property to rent on Vail.

I send my inquiry through their web page, after that I recieved an e: mail from them stating that they where contacting the owner and he would soon contact me.

On the 25th the suposed owner contact me with a copy of the e: mail sent by homeaway.com

He send me all the contracts that I need it to sing, and the proceudure to rent the property, all with homeaway stamps.

All of this is the standard proceudure that homeaway advices to do so not to have any problems.

After making my deposit I also bought insurance from homeaway.com that if I had any problems with my rental this would cover them.

The 8th of february I recieved this e: mail from homeaway:

Off course I contact them and did eaclty what this mail stated, I inquired again the property,

Except this time the "real" owner did reply! He said he had never answerd my mail since his home was not available for those dates. This is at least strange, the fisrt time even he knew ther was no dates avalable he didnt answer but on the second one the answer is on the same date.

From that ponit Ive boeng in contact eith Homeaway and I have no answer on how I am suposed to get my money back.

Of course I will have to rent another place since my hole trip is already paid.
