No one from this complex will return my call, so now I am out my car, and about $400. If I don't get my car back tonight and this money back on Monday, there is going to be hell to pay. Thanks for the rant.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I don't blame ya girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As soon as someone gets into that leasing office I'd be pounding on the door! That is outrageous!!!!!

Oh my gosh, Marissa! That is SO terrible! I can't believe that they did that to you. I'm so sorry. I really hope that the issue gets resolved without you wasting money. I'm so sorry that you didn't get to see Jordan, too.

Erm.. Maybe you avoided a car accident or something by all this mess? I hope that you stay as positive as possible. And thanks again for helping me out so much and hanging out on Friday!

So have they reimbursed you yet..??? Cause if they haven't start dropping the Jagg word... get them to back peddle because it wasn't your fault, it was theirs. Make them reimburse you, and see what else you can get out of them... Because this messed up your plans to go see your honey. Make 'em pay!!! (thats just my opinion)

So one of Jordan's friends took me to get my vehicle out of the impound lot, and I had to pay the full amount. I was pissed, but it wasn't their fault. So this morning, I went to the leasing office, and she told me that one of the new managers had assigned my spot to a new tennant, and they didn't contact me because there was a mix up and they didn't know it was my car...whatever.

I asked them if I was going to get reimbursed for the full amount, and she said that she was going to "try" to get me the full amount back tomorrow once she talks to her manager. I have a feeling that they will just go ahead and write me a check, and say sorry for the mix up, but if they don't we're gonna have serious problems. Ugh...totally ruined my weekend.

I totally agree with Dovie, don't let it blow over. It's pretty outrageous of them to do that to you. There could have been an emergency, anything. It is really unprofessional of them to do that to you. They better reimburse you ASAP!

Renee:

I agree. 1st you should write the manager a note about what happened and the trouble you had to go through because they made a mistake. Also mention the money you paid. Make sure you keep a copy. If they don't pay you back go to base legal.

Ditto!!  Make sure you put this in writing (as well as a copy of the receipt from getting your car back).  Keep the letter polite and professional... as well as ask them to make this up to you.  They should discount your rent a percentage for your remaining lease or give you a $100 off a month for your worry (whatever works out to your best interest).  If they don't have to compensate for their screw ups, they won't worry about doing it again - and once again you'll be out a car and money until they decide.  Wrong.  Take care of it this time, you'll be living there cheaper and maybe they'll come up with a better way to assign or reassign parking - jackholes.

Of course I'm late on everything these days. That sucks, Marissa!!! What a bunch of idiots!!! How can you screw that up? If that new "manager" or whomever reassigned your spot doesn't get fired, they have major issues. And yeah, ask for the whole kit and kaboodle. Money back asap, discounted rent, free rent for a month, whatever. Good luck with that!! uggh! 

Something like this happened to Cliff and I when we lived in an apartment.

It was a bad snow season and it wasnt an assigned parking type deal but a first come first park. So, the complex did a HORRIBLE job plowing the spots and deicing the roads, Cliff had come home late only to find no parking spots available near our complex so he parked on a mound of snow in a handy cap spot(this spot was inaccessable to anyone that didnt have 4WD). The next morning, our car is gone. I was 8 months pregnant at the time and had almost fell when I slipped getting out of the car a few nights prior coming home from work(i got home around 1am every night) so i was already b!tching about the horrible job they were doing.

Cliff was p!ssed beyond belief. He stormed down tot he office and raised hell. We not only got the FULL tow refund, but also a refund for the rental car we needed to get to the tow place to get his car back, AND half months rent off for the next month. Along with that, that very next day they had maintance out and a new private company come in and clean every walk way, and salt the roads like there was no tomorrow.

We dont mess around when it comes to apartment living. If something is wrong we are heard and when we arent heard we yell so that they can hear us.

LRTE:

Oh wow Marissa, I'm so sorry. I would breaking some knee caps is someone towed my vehicle like that. I hope this all gets worked out for you girl. Let me know if you need anything, I'm not too far away.

As usual I totally agree with Lori.  There would be he&& to pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marissa - did youget the money ???

Bummer chica! hang in there!

I would have flipped out.. I'm with all the other girls on getting your money back, plus getting a discount on rent! Let us know how it goes!!
