    Default Complaints Aboout MBS Properties

    My water bill went from being around $7 a month (actual usage) to almost $30 (calculated, so they say...im calling BS)...I am almost afraid to look at ANY apartment for fear of MBS fetching them up. Is it possible to request an addendum to my next lease that states if MBS purchases the property, I have an out.

    Documents at the corporate office were NOT completely destroyed. Corporate office employees have gone back to the office (that is on the 19th floor) in Metairie to retreive personal belongings. They CAN get to info - they just tell you they cannot. CALL the cell numbers of the people listed - you'll get NO response otherwise.

    I am about ready to setup a website smear campaign against MBS.

    I've got a forum that will be up later tonight, but it's not a smear campaign...just a place for people to document their experiences and then message with others about it. Sorry to anyone who has posted already (like bg), but I didn't know it was live yet!

    Wow - Just WOW! I can't believe this. I too lived at Amli at Walnut Creek now known as The Park at Walnut Creek. I moved out about a week or two after MBS bought it.

    I have over $500 in deposits tied up with these guys. I was actually told my deposit would take 30-60 days to arrive. I found out what the law stated and paid a visit about day 45 or so. Well they tried to blame previous management and hurricane Katrina which hit AFTER the 30 days. I've stopped by the office numerous times. I've tried to contact the corporate office but only got through once. I have sent two faxes from the Amli office to their corporate office as well.

    I moved out around July 10th or so. It's now been almost four months and I haven't received anything. I'm not the suing type but this is absolutely ridiculous. I was told they would send my deposit but it could take up to a month. Being the nice person I am, I agreed. Well here it is ages later and still nothing. I'm done being nice!

    I don't know how to file in small claims court but I'm about to learn. Maybe I'll get an attorney and have MBS pick up the bill since this is a hands down winning case.

    Anyone else that wants to talk please write me. My yahoo email is cosmicdust1.

    *edit*
    I also filed a complaint with the Texas Attorney General's office. If they get enough, maybe they'll look into bringing these guys to justice.

    Hi Elation,

    I'll let you know how my suit goes!

    Please document your experience under "The Parks at Walnut Creek" at http://www.smuckoff.com .

    Thanks so much. I want that site to serve as a repository of atrocities if I can ever get to a point where such information would be useful.

    Thanks

    Simply unbelievable. And here I thought we were the only complex that had such issues. I recently took ol' Mike Smuck to court and won a judgment in my favor 10/4/05. Long long story. Needless to say I am looking to file a writ of execution in the next day or so. I'm with you guys; I would like nothing more than to see this guy go down.

    As it stands now, I still live in an MBS managed complex and badly want to move out. Things seem to get worse by the day.

    Help.

    :?

    I just printed out a certified letter to send to these people. One question. Who do I send it to? My former apartment complex or the home office?

    I sent mine to Smuck himself. Since he is ultimately responsible the letter needs to be addressed to him, esp if you plan to take him and the company to court.

    I am no lawyer... just had to learn the process on my own.

    Sonic knows what's up. Send the letter to MBS Companies, attn: THE MAN HIMSELF.

    Congrats on your judgement, Sonic. Please keep us updated on your story here and at Smuckoff. I hope to add my success story to yours! I just got my case number today and they are attempting to serve him by certified mail. How did they serve him for you and what was the process like?

    Thanks
