Thanks

This is the last conversation and they have refused to respond. How do you charge over twice the amount an owner slated as an agent. I thought agents only charge a certain percentage. Now if the owner of an establishment can make a refund how much more you a mere contact? Yes you want to make your profit but since the business broke down, every penny should be refunded. Listen to the VN the Abigail sent to my chairman planning committee

Here are the other parts of the conversation with Fragance homes and the phone number of those involved in this act

Abigail - 08157570978 ( the agent contacted for the Shortlet and the person credited )

Fragance homes- 09063418314 (the owner/ contact of the agency Abigail works for )

Tom-( 07063353665 )

Nancy- 09059619950 ( Lanteh apartment direct agent I.e the agent in charge of the apartment we wanted to Shortlet

My secondary school ( Rybeka model college ) class of “011 decided to have their 10yrs reunion and fixed it for 6th of November 2021. A committee was set up which flagged the event and led to this event. The chairman of the planning committee in person of Tamara contacted an apartment agency known as Fragrance homes to short-let an apartment for the said date (Nov 6). We were charged #350000 rent and #100000 caution fee. I paid the rent fee on 24th of September 2021 to an Igwe Abigail Chinonye the sum of #350000 after agreeing to pay the caution fee on the date of the event. She gave us an address No 6 ladipo omotesho cole.
Lekki phase one which is supposed to be the venue for the reunion with claims that she is the contact to the short let and kept pressuring my chairman for the #100000 caution fee. On Saturday being the date of the event, guest started arriving at 1pm which was the slated time for this event to kick off. Getting to the address, we got to find out that it was a wrong address and contacted Abigail who we made the payment to. A new address was given to us (No 96 ladipo omotesho cole.
Lekki phase one) which we had to start re distributing to the guest on their way. We got to this new address and we weren’t allowed to enter the premises as the guardian of the apartment in person of an Uche claimed that he had no notice of any arrangement to shortlet the apartment for that day. My chairman called the Abigail lady who gave her a Nancy’s contact and asked her to call the Nancy for anything in respect to the apartment. She called and we were let in after 2hours of being stood outside the apartment gate. We started to unpack drinks, food, cake and other things so we could settle in and kick off the event proper because we were already behind on schedule. Barely 20mins in the apartment, the lights went off. We contacted the Nancy lady and she called the owner of the apartment to inform him of the development and started pleading with us to exercise patience as they try to fix the light situation. We decided to wait a little, they couldn’t get it fixed up and everyone became unsettled, it was getting late and my chairman burst into tears as she was confused on what to do. Around the hours of 7-8pm she contacted the Nancy lady and told her that she wants a full refund or they should give us another of their apartment to check out. She asked us to hold and and few minutes later called us to go check out another apartment around admiralty. We got there and checked the apartment but it wasn’t up to our taste, we informed her. On our way back we got to find out that the light situation has been restored at the apartment and we also notified Nancy that we were headed back there. We kicked off our event and everyone started settling in again only for a man to barge in on us. We took him outside and he was already shouting at the top of his voice, he ordered the police men he came with to stop the music and throw everyone out of the premises. Once again we have another dilemma to deal with again. We called Nancy that her boss is here and trying to throw us out of the apartment, he claimed he has made full refunds of #170000 which is what he got and what he charges for his apartment. We informed him of the amount we paid and he was in shock. Meanwhile right there in presence of the owner of the apartment in person of MR EKENE ROY BASIL, Nancy turned off her phone while we were questioning her about the recent development. This infuriated the apartment owner the more and he disclosed that he can’t allow be in his apartment as there is no contract between us. He started throwing us out of the apartment which forced us to enter into a fresh agreement right there with him as the embarrassment was too much on us. We paid #250000 ( #100000 in cash and a transfer of #150000). My chairman reached out to Abigail and Nancy again informing them of the development over hours of WhatsApp conference call. The Short let we rented is known as Lanteh Apartments while and the agency we contacted is Fragrance homes who booked the apartment. The owner of the apartment after finding out what happened ordered Nancy to make full refunds of the money as that arrangement was null and void as he has made refunds when they had light issues and threatened to lock her up and ensure she doesn’t work for him anymore. Yesterday a refund of #270,000 was made leaving a deficit of #180000. Nancy claims she has no idea about the money as what she received I what she refunded. Stating that Abigail, a Mr Tom and Fragance homes are the ones with the balance of #180000 yet to be paid back. I wrote the Fragance home via text message and she is trying to say that I should forfeit that payment since we were able to carry out our event after a fresh negotiation. The Abigail lady clearly stated that she has eaten the money and there is nothing we can do about it. Attached are the screenshot of the payment made to Abigail for the apartment and the screenshot of the fresh payment made to the apartment owner to back up my claim. I’ll also attach the conversation with Fragance homes as well as the VN of Abigail including their mobile numbers.
