    Sorry to hear things are not sorted out as you thought, as others have said i would get in touch with John and let him help. The owners and moderators work very hard on the site to keep things going great so i am sure John would appreciate the chance to help.

    Hope it all sorts out quickly and you have a wonderful holiday.

    Hi Helen,

    I am slightly miffed at your thinking that some of the long standing members of this site are not verified owners ...

    In the 20 posts so far and now mine there are 2 very certified owners & I make up another long standing owner of 14 years

    All of the posters have given good advice & I am sure everybody has the O P plight in their thoughts

    Yes there are chancers out there ...... But ......you will see who keeps posting on a regular basis with good /sound advice & help

    It has always been the policy of the site that any enquiry has to be made through the sites and not in a posting because of the fact that the owners take great pride in making sure that all owners on the site verify they are still the owners every six months by using proof of utility bill etc. That's not to say that if you own a home but don't advertise on here you aren't genuine but just as eully there are many unscrupulous people who will take advantge of the posting and offer what may or may not be a genuine article. If something goes wrong as occasionally it will the owners have a way of tracing the individuals and helping to resolve it for the Guest and if the owners has done something wrong they will not be allowed to advertise any more. Those who are not advertising but offer their villa "outside" of the system could just as easily be part of it but may think they will save some money and be able to undercut the ones on the site.

    I guess it is a bit like somebody standing outside a travel agent shop and asking people going in if they want to get a good deal on a holiday, if they say yes, they may but equally things could go horribly wrong and when they go back to the shop there is no one to be seen.

    I put that message on as I am a moderator and removed some email addresses of people that had posted offering villas who were not owners on this site.

    Just to confirm our total agreement to the Moderator post below. It's against forum rules to offer a villa to anyone posting on the forums, either by replying to a forum thread, by Private Message or by email. We can't vouch for any villa owner who does this as we have owners on here who do not list on our villa rental sites and thus are not verified every 6 months.

    We will remove or edit any posts found in breach of this and do reserve the right to delete the forum user of any villa owner found breaking this rule.

    It would be interesting to hear how this was resolved.
