Villages BEWARE - VIR GROUP

VIR/Alistair Barrett Powell now owes hundreds of homeowners money from collected rent. He will not return phone calls or emails. Any mail sent to his office is returned to sender. They no longer occupy their office in Fruitland Park. No one knows where they are!! To all victims please contact Mike Villa with the Florida Attorney General's Office @ 407-316-4840. Mike urges all victims to please email all your information to: michael.villa@myfloridalegal.com.

Homeowners BEWARE of this company!!! If I could give the VIR Group zero stars, I would. Alistair Barrett Powell (Owner) owes us a substantial amount of money from our property that he managed. Our calls are left unreturned, we have been thrown out of VIR's office, and been threatened with trespassing!!! These guys are crooked and anyone would be foolish to do business with them.

Thanks for the info, but it appears you're not the first one to get burned. That's why they always say, before you enter an agreement with a contractor in TV, come to this website and read the reviews. It's saved me a lot of money over the years. The 'Search' button at the top is great to use.

We just need to continue to pass on this information to hopefully prevent anymore VIR Victims!! And to give victims information for them to contact.

And if you are still in contract with The VIR Group send your notice to quit to his lawyer Todd Allen of Naples Florida, certified, so you get written confirmation they have received it!! Alistair Barrett-Powell, the owner of VIR, and his husband Charles “Jeff” Barrett-Powell, have applied and received a new business license under the company name, Vacation Rental Shop! New name same scam!!!

This scam is very prevalent in Fl--when we lived in NC, our POA hired a mgr ,her name was Revonda Stewart--she was convicted on not paying taxes on properties she managing in Fl, and not paying clients the proceeds from property rentals

Again, triple check and very important BBB ratings don't mean a thing

They finally got the BBB grade they deserve and earned, by ripping landlords and now renters off. “F”

His license was revoked 31 March 18 according to www dot myfloridalicense dot com

I did not see a license for his business partner/husband, Charles, same last name. Although there are reports in one of the reviews that he has applied for one.

There is an extensive report on Allistar regarding his operation in the UK found under his name on ripoffreport dot com
