Re: Marion Griffin, Thomas Verner are scammers (by Julie H.):
It appears that this is STILL going on. My dear friend has also had the most unfortunate experience of being involved with Marion Verner. She was at a very vulnerable stage and Marion offered to rent out her home to long term tenants with the promise she would negotiate with the bank to reduce my friends mortgage payments. The home was beautiful, full of furniture and recently refurbished. Where are we now 18 months later???the house has been trashed twice, there is not one stick of original furniture in the house, it is going into foreclosure, my friend has received zero rental money for over 1 year. Tenants have been in the house since April she has received no money apart from the one payable in august which I collected!! The house was rented out previously and again she received no payments. My friend now owes over 14k to the bank and Marion's previous excuses of non receipt of emails, out of town, illness, blah blah blah have continue. I managed to meet with her once on behalf of my friend and was met with a barrage of excuses and paperwork which she had had plenty of time to create to prove her innocence. Not a receipt in sight I hasten to add. Can anyone who has previously posted about this please contact me in order that we know whether it is worth pursuing this through the legal channels. It cannot be allowed to continue. My friend and her family have gone through the worse type of personal experience that anyone could imagine and for someone to profit from that is despicable. She is now in such a worse position than before she allowed Marion Verner to deal with her home. I am trying to stop the foreclosure as it will break my friends heart. That in itself is not easy I have made so many calls to the company dealing with it but have received no response. Marion has promised to return the months deposit the current tenants paid her, I have been trying for a number of weeks to get this. She ialso has some of my friends personal belongings as she promised to take care of them. Whatever Marion Verner aims and promises to do in regards to "helping" foreign Florida homeowners, it is not working!!! She needs to be stopped. I would appreciate any information that anyone may have in regards to this please. Thank you.
