Scammed Lied To and Left Helpless Avoid Rently Academy Like the Plague
DO NOT SIGN ANY CONTRACT READ CLAUSE 7 2 I am beyond devastated I trusted Rently Academy with 4 000 of my life savings money that took me years to put together and now I m left in tears stressed and utterly helpless while also being pregnant and trying to protect my future If you re reading this and considering working with them please run the other way This company is not just incompetent they are misleading dishonest and downright unethical Here s How They Took My Money I was drawn to Rently Academy by an advertisement for a 1-bed 1-bath apartment in Birmingham B1 with rent at 990 per month and a potential yearly income of 38 095 - 53 289 The initial fees were supposed to be 500 for the admin and holding fee with 3 500 due only after viewing for the first month s rent deposit and finder s fees However they suddenly told me I had 24 hours to pay the 3 500 before I could even view the property I had just been scammed on Facebook a day before so in my desperation I trusted them believing they were legitimate given how big they seemed I paid the full 4 000 and that s where my nightmare began 1 They Took My Money and Sent Me the Wrong ContractAfter paying they sent me a contract that had absolutely nothing to do with the property I had agreed to rent Instead of the 1-bed 1-bath unit in Birmingham B1 the contract was for a 2-bed 1-bath unit in Birmingham and another random property in Mayfair The worst part The contract included a 26-year lease with no termination clause something that was never disclosed or agreed upon I requested a refund within 48 hours asking them to return my rent and deposit letting them keep the 500 admin fee They outright refused even though the contract they sent was not correct and therefore void 2 Forced to Schedule a Viewing for the Wrong Property When I pushed for a viewing they scheduled it but again it was for a completely different property that had nothing to do with what I originally paid for The address they provided was in a different area altogether How can a company mess up something so fundamental It s either sheer incompetence or outright malice take your pick 3 Ignored My Explicit Instructions and Kept My MoneyI even left a note with the incorrect contract clearly stating that it should not be acknowledged until I was contacted to confirm the details Did they bother to call No But they had no problem holding onto my money Despite all these glaring errors and blatant misrepresentations they are refusing to refund my 3 500 I was more than willing to let them keep the 500 for admin fees but their refusal to return the remaining amount is nothing short of theft Legal Grounds They Don t CareThey are blatantly in breach of the Misrepresentation Act 1967 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 They advertised one property took my money then sent me contracts for something completely different Holding onto my funds without delivering the promised services is unlawful plain and simple Even More Red FlagsThey refuse to call back from a number that appears to be a UK number but is untraceable Check their records on HMRC there are no financial reports and they change directors every 2 months which is highly suspicious and indicative of shady business practices Final Warning Stay Away from Rently AcademyThis company preys on people s trust takes their money and delivers nothing but stress frustration and despair If you value your time money and sanity do not engage with Rently Academy Their business practices are misleading unethical and downright scammy I am now having to pursue legal action just to get my money back I ve kept every single piece of correspondence and reported them to every consumer rights body I can think of If you re considering using their services please trust me avoid them at all costs They will take your money and leave you broken just like they did to me Zero stars if I could give it that Run as far away as you can

Scammers and Liars - Please stay away
Scammers My previous post seems to have disappeared on here 1 I paid for the initial online training which gave access to online training to setup a Short Term Rental business which actually seemed ok but nothing you couldn t get for Free on YouTube This cost me 97 per month for 12 months 2 After I had completed this and was getting frustrated in obtaining properties from landlords they advertised their Capital Club This was followed by a webinar when they shown 15 amazing properties that were available and could be applied for after joining the Capital Club for 4997 A property a day would also be advertised all properties has the usual finders fee discounted to 0 A win win or so I thought 3 None of the original properties from the webinar were available anymore but I thought I had just been beaten by other members I then started to receive the daily property emails but these properties were run down not in great areas and all needed work carried out to make them lovable Even some needed furnishing which apparently the Capital Club members didn t need to do 4 I emailed Zeea who is the Capital Club manager and who sends out the Daily Properties to complain about the condition but all I received was a long list of properties that were still available 5 But then I got super punch again A WhatsApp text went out to all Capital Club members with 2 properties in central London one in Covent Garden and one in Mayfair Both were up for auction by 7pm that night I did my numbers based on the properties and decided that I would go with the Covent Garden property I bid right on 7pm and paid the 497 deposit to obtain the property 6 I had 24 hours to pay the remaining 4000 7 The next morning I replied to a congratulations whatsapp message from Lyna and Gabriella as I had a few questions before payment was made The wording on the initial text said the finders fee was 4497 but I was part of the Capital Club and there are no finders fees Neither replied so I emailed Alyssa who confirmed that the 4497 covered the first months rent and deposit and finders fee 8 I stupidly paid the remaining 4000 Then Lyna did reply to my message and told me that the fee was ONLY a finders fee because this was NOT part of the Capital Club I therefore asked for a full refund as they had mislead me as they text me as part of my Capital Club membership which included NO finders fees 9 They even sent me the contract which has so many grey areas that there was no way I would have signed it Lots of clauses to say if the property was not available if the landlord had changed their mind or other various reasons no refunds etc etc 10 This was on the 18th September and I have been sending emails and texts ever since 11 they did actually refund me my 497 deposit but said they would refund me the 4000 over an 18 month period I have refused this on many occasions as I told them they could have done this to many people and could just close the company so therefore my 18 month agreement would be closed down It looks like that is exactly what they are trying to do So in total I paid 1200 for the online training course 4997 to become a member of the Capital Club and 4497 for a Covent Garden property that never really existed Although I feel pretty stupid this needs to be shared to help others Please stay away from these liars and thieves
