VacationRentPayment

I started listing our property on HomeAway, got halfway, then intended to finish it in a few days. I never clicked "Submit Application" or any button indicating that I had completed the application. Nevertheless, HomeAway started a flurry of contradictory emails and activities, concluding with my application's rejection -- with an implication that I have some shady background that they can't tell me about, and ending with "No more information will be provided." I have asked HomeAway and VacantionRentPayment for explanations as to why the application was declined but I get no response from either one. I know that the law requires that a person turned down for a credit application is owed an explanation. The irony is that they suggest I have the shady background, but THEY are breaking the law! First, they sent me a very suspicious email saying my listing has expired (looks like a scam with the word used FREE so often -- see attached). The next day they sent me a "Welcome to HomeAway" greeting (guess they forgot I had expired the day before). Then I received a phone call asking me to call VacationRent. When I called them no one knew why, and they transferred me back to HomeAway and no one there knew why I was supposed to call either, and it was considered a courtesy call for some reason. Then, I received the rejection letter (see attached) saying that something is wrong with my background but they aren't telling me what it is. I have insisted upon knowing the reason for my rejection, but alas, I have heard nothing yet. ------- Text from "Expiration" email: YOUR HOMEAWAY LISTING HAS EXPIRED! Hello____!
