Lori Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm just tired of reading about it (elsewhere). I don't think I am allowed to name the company, but it is posted on Trip Advisor fairly regularly (another one today - company name starts with a 'C'). The stories are somewhat amazing - more so because they seem to have been able to get away with their shenanigans for so long now. Most unsuspecting rentors are from outside France and simply don't know who or how to report them.Is there a governing body they can be reported to??I did do a search, but didn't come up with anything. I might not have put in the correct search words as it most likely has come up before..Any help is most appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 No idea what you are on about Lori; so it might be helpful if you could give some idea of what sort of shenanigans they have been up to. Then we light be able to advise better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sorry, if I was vague. I'm trying to find out if there is a governing body over Vacation Rental Agencies. A licensing body or something like that or a tourism type of agency people can go to if they feel they have been wronged.Below is a link that will take you to pages of gripes and complaints about this particular company. Among other complaints, they have been accused of keeping security deposits (large ones too - such as 700 euros) and never giving an explanation why or reply to requests for explanation. They chronically contact rentors at the very last minute to tell them the apartment they have rented is no longer available and they often don't offer options.If anyone is bored to death, you can go to the link and read forever [;-)]I've done a bit of searching online to try find out where these, very angry, customers can go, but I'm not coming up with anything.http://www.tripadvisor.com/SearchForums?ff=12&geo=187070&scope=2&q=citalys&x=0&y=0&returnTo=%2FShowForum-g187070-i12-France.htmlEdit: Sorry for the long link and not sure why it is not clickable.

andyh4 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 http://www.prefecture-police-paris.interieur.gouv.fr/ would seem to be your first port of call Lori. From what I have seen the complainants are all Paris based, and some of the complaints at least would seem to be fraud - maybe all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks Andy. I'll have a look at that possibility. Might even call them and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
