Seacrest Services and a company they contracted called ******* gave me 2 separate account numbers, 1 for my HOA monthly payment and 1 for my ASSESSMENT $42 monthly payment starting since Aug 2023 leading to the mishandling of my payments. Instead of putting the money in the appropriate account that THEY set up for me and that MY BANK sent 2 SEPERATE PAYMENTS for this very purpose of the monies to go to the Appropriate account, ********************** decided to bundle all the payments together and along the way has mismanaged my money into a $600 missing payment. I have been reaching out to 7 different people ***** ***** Yennifer, **** ***, **** and whomever sent me my latest email) for over 1 1/2 years and NOT ONE OF THEM WILL HELP ME CORRECT MY MISSING PAYMENT STILL ON GOING TODAY!!!!! I have provided them in detail, all my bank statements showing every single payment to both separate accounts and all 7 people refuse to correct my missing payment. They took one of my HOA payments and OVER PAID on my Assessment Balance that has been paid off and refuse to correct it. I also have on record multiple late fees through the months that the applied to my accounts, ever when my Payments are always 1 month paid in ADVANCE. This company is a scam and should be investigated. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY MONEY BACK!!!!!!!!!Business Response

Dear BBB, Thank You for (maybe) helping me move forward on finding my missing payment. It's not over yet because I now have to reach out to the, yet again, a 7th person that claims they want to help me, so until I meet with them in person to solve this, I am not ready to give you the final result, so please be patient and I will respond ASAP. I only have Fridays off and I need to be sure ****** ****** is available. Friendly reminder, they have dragged me threw the mud for a year and a half.

I received a letter dated March 31, 2025 serving a Notice of Late Assessment. Since receiving this letter, I have called and emailed Seacrest Services, Inc., but have not received a response. I would like to speak to an authorized employee at that company to have this issue resolved through a dialogue with that authorized person. The problem is that I keep on getting different names of authorized personnel, which leaves me confused as to who is authorized to resolve this issue on behalf of Seacrest Services, Inc. In addition, noboby from that business has given me the courtesy to call back and have a reasonable business dialogue with me as of yet.Business Response

We have enclosed a copy of your ledger for your reference. Please submit payment at your soonest opportunity to bring your account current.

Complaint: 23213759
I am rejecting this response because:
...So this is the way Seacrest Services, Inc. does business with its customers? . . . Might I please suggest another way?
Right after I received the Notice of Late Assessment, I went over to speak with **** at the ************************** office. **** gave me Seacrest's phone number and **** *****'s email address to contact her. (I have documented proof of Gail's writing.)
After sending an email and what I considered a terse response from Ms. ****** I tried to reach her via telephone and left a message. Upon not receiving a further response from her, I called again...more than once. Finally (?) I was told by a receptionist that you now handle this matter.
As I explained in my BBB complaint, I wrote (please see below):
"The problem is that I keep on getting different names of authorized personnel, which leaves me confused as to who is authorized to resolve this issue on behalf of Seacrest Services, Inc. In addition, noboby, sic, from that business has given me the courtesy to call back and have a reasonable business dialogue with me as of yet." ...Of course, regrettably, that included yourself.
I further wrote in the "Desired settlement:" "I would like to speak to an authorized employee at Seacrest Services, Inc. to have this issue resolved through a dialogue with that authorized person."
Because the only means at the time I could make payments was through the post office, and I am on a very limited fixed income, I politely and in a friendly manner (I presume) wanted to redress the issue. However, of course, it has regrettably come to this point.
Nevertheless, I would please prefer this to be handled personally via an authorized person on behalf of Seacrest Services, Inc. Is this really too much to ask, please?
An appropriate personal response from this authorized representative would be most appreciated.
Thank you and best wishes,****** ***** on behalf of ***************************************** & ****** *****

Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to formally file a complaint against Seacrest Services, the property management company responsible for overseeing our condominium association. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with Seacrest Services, my concerns and those of fellow association members remain unaddressed.Our condominium association had a scheduled meeting for February 2025, which was unexpectedly canceled without notice or a reschedule date. This meeting was critical, as it involved the election of officers and leadership decisions for our association. Since then, repeated emails have been sent to Seacrest Services seeking clarification on when the meeting will be rescheduled, what the next steps are, and how the association will function in the absence of leadership.Seacrest Services has failed to provide adequate responses, only replying with brief emails stating that they would notify property management. However, no further action has been taken, and no meeting has been rescheduled. This lack of professionalism and accountability is concerning, especially as association members continue to pay monthly dues with no clear leadership, direction, or governance in place.I request that the Better Business Bureau intervene to prompt Seacrest Services to:Provide an immediate update on when the association meeting will be rescheduled.Clarify the process for electing new leadership.Address their lack of communication and responsiveness regarding this matter.Seacrest Services' failure to act is highly unprofessional and unacceptable for a company responsible for managing condominium communities. I appreciate your time and assistance in addressing this issue. Please let me know if you require any further documentation or correspondence related to this complaint.Business Response

Seacrest Service is the property manager for my condo building. On 10/30/24 and 11/25/24 Seacrest Services like they do every month via bank transfer withdrew $168.00 for each month. That money is to be sent to CVE Master Management monthly for the condo maintenance fees. Those two months were never sent to CVE Master Management and to avoid penalties I had to pay CVE Master Management to avoid ************ building President who is also my brother in law contacted Seacrest Services on January 2, **************************** ******** ***** who confirmed that Seacrest did have my payments and she would submit it to Accounts Payable at ********************** and that I would receive a check in the mail within two weeks for $336.00 which covers the two payments I made.

to CVE BarbaraGurley:On 10-8-2024 I made a trip on my bike to Publix to buy a money order for $295. I then had to ride my bike to the Club House and personally dropped the $295. money order in the Seacrest Services, Inc. box at the ***********,i had to sign myself in. On 11-8-2024 I went to the Bank and bought a $295. money order. I rode my bike to the Club House and again I dropped the money order into the box for November maite4nance. I contacted **** ****** several times and demanded a ledger. She sent me one today which DID NOT CREDIT ME for either month.

I am going to contact the Better Business Bureau and report this to as many people as possible. . I will also report this to every official. I demand answers. I was told that this is your job. I now have yet another money order. I need to know where to deposit this so that it appears on my account as the maintenance being PAID. The Better Business Bureau has so many complaints. People also state that Seacrest Services***** continues to take money out of an account even after someone cancels or they don't owe the money at all.

I am rejecting this response because: I deposited the 10-8-24 money order on 10-8-24 in the box of Seacrest Services, *** at the Club House in good faith before the date it was due. It is a ************* money order that must be cashed in a certain time period or reported stolen, lost, etc. or you loose the entire amount of $295. Because I did not get a response after 15 emails and 1 month to **** ******, ********** ****, ******* ******, and still have not gotten a response, I was forced to cancel the money order for a fee of $15. to prevent losing the $295. I then had to send a CERTIFIED NOTICE to Seacrest Services, *** , President and ****** *********, President of ******************************** for a cost of $13. The CERTIFIED NOTICE and the ************* fees are to be paid by Seacrest Services, *** to me as a credit to my account and I want to see a ledger that reflects that sent to the BBB. I have spent hours, weeks and over a month trying to get an answer from someone at Seacrest Services, Inc.I had a severe accident and was badly hurt yet I rode my bike to Publix and the 2nd time to my bank and then to the Club House in order to comply with the contract. I do not have a car. I will only pay the $280. for October, 2024 since it was you, Seacrest Services, *** NOT me that caused this. The Certified Notice is to inform Seacrest Services, *** that they are and have been violating Florida Statute 718 Condominium law for 9 years, breaching the Seacrest Services***** contract and violating the ******* D Declaration contract despite a lawsuit. It includes case law and has been filed in the Appellate Court. An answer to the CERTIFIED Notice from Seacrest Services, *** to ALL claims included in Exhibit A is required by Florida law to be answered within 30 days. If you do not answer or If you do not credit my account I will have no other alterative than to sue Seacrest Services, *** AGAIN as I did in 2017. I have never received service for any WORK ORDER. I am paying you, as per the contract, to perform ALL maintenance, management and operation of Ventnor D yet I am not receiving the services that I am paying you for. I will not put up with your arrogant, rude employees any more who do comply with Florida law or the 2 statutory contracts and make me jump through burning hoops. Ventnor D looks like a dump because of Seacrest Services, *** It is depressing to livew there it is so badly maintained. I expect the plumbing to be fixed that Ventnor D and Seacrest Services, *** allowed to be broken by Unit 69. I should not have to carry 11 buckets of hot water to take a hot bath because no water comes out of the hot water in the tub since the main water lines were broken by Unit 69 due to their being allowed to plant large bushes and illegal patios which is in violationn of ********************* contract.

I am rejecting this response because: You obviously did not read my 70 pages of Certified Notice nor the other documentation that I sent to Seacrest Services, *** over 1 month ago. I presently have a lawsuit against Seacrest Services, *** for negligence, breach of contract and violations of Florida law. I gave proof that I had paid the maintenance fees by a money order which Seacrest Services, *** failed to credit to my account and therefore I was forced to cancel it just to get my money back minus the $15 I was charged to cancel it. Ventnor D building looks like some 3rd world very badly maintained site. Seacrest Services***** has not complied with the contract for every year I have lived here since 2013. No one can sell their Unit except at a loss because the front doors and the building and walkways need to be painted. There is black toxic mold, the paint is peeling. It has been like this for 5 years. The contract states you are to paint every 2 years. Seacrest Services***** has never complied with the contract. The list goes on and on. The money orders were yet another incompetent act by Seacrest Services, Inc.

I am rejecting this response because: Seacrest Services***** has breached the contract. It specifically states that all front doors will be painted every 2 years. They were to have painted in 2019 but did not. As a result, the outside front doors of every Unit had black toxic mold. The same thing has transpired. A contract states the terms of which it was created. Seacrest Services, *** does not do what the contract states. The same thing has occurred. All the front doors are peeling paint or are filled with black toxic mold. it is Seacrest Services, *** duty to schedule the time according to the contract not blame the Association for lack of scheduling. It has been 4 years since the doors were painted. That is but one of the services that we are NOT receiving. The law does not recognize when it was finally done but when the contract states the service should be done. When has Seacrest Services, *** scheduled the painting of the front doors?

You can contact your property manager if you need additional information. We anticipate your compliance of all rules governing the community to include Article A Item 3 as we endeavor to maintain harmony within the community.

Homeowners’ associations (HOAs) must also ensure that their
governing documents do not contain discriminatory language. This includes
rules that control who can use a community pool, where religious symbols can be
placed, or whether ramps can be used instead of porch steps
Taking action where I
am able to park in front of my home without obstruction and my garbage to be
removed when the city come on Monday Thursdays.
The reason why I believe that they discriminated against us
I can't tell you why because we're black because God have blessed us I don't
know I have no idea but all I know I need a place to park and to be able to get
to my car that I'll be able to get to the doctors do my community service where
I serve for over 15 years now and other activities taking care of my community
and continue paying my taxes.My complaint is there is resident in the whole entire
community that park along the streets that park along their driveway that park
along the collar SAC the other caller SAC with no barrier towards them except
my property at 39 28 Lake Tahoe circle which this is a fuller discrimination
against a disabled person and also no there are 4 entries you're the only one
with a stop sign and no parking sign and a wooden barrier preventing you from
parking or going wherever you want to go on your property in front of your
property
What action can the Housing Authority take they can let the
association adhere to the rules and regulation according to the law stated in
the state of Florida and the United states seen below
Fair
Housing Act
This law protects people from discrimination in housing
based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, and national

Challenges and Discrimination at 3928 Lake Tahoe Circle, West Palm Beach
Since February 2005, my family and I have been residing at 3928 Lake Tahoe
Circle in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our home has two designated parking
spaces in the driveway, which, under normal circumstances, would suffice.
However, we face a significant challenge with parking as we have four cars
and two disabled individuals residing in the house. The property management
company, Seacrest Services, 2101 Centre park W Dr West Palm Beach Fl 33409,
561-697-4990, alongside the Lakes of Laguna Homeowners Association, has
enforced a strict rule prohibiting parking on the side of the house, both
during the day and at night. Additionally, we have been informed that parking
in the pool parking lot at 1 AM is not allowed. This leaves us in a difficult
position, as there are no available parking spaces close to our home, and we
have been left without a reasonable solution to this issue. As residents, we
feel we are being unfairly targeted and penalized for circumstances beyond
our control. Our household has two disabled individuals, and the lack of
accessible parking presents a significant challenge. With four cars and only
two parking spaces in the driveway, we have no choice but to seek alternative
parking arrangements. However, the restrictions imposed by Seacrest Services
and the Lakes of Laguna management severely limit our options. This has
resulted in fines being levied against us, adding financial strain to an
already stressful situation. The situation is further exacerbated by the lack
of understanding and accommodation from the property management and the
homeowners association. As a family with disabled individuals, we believe we
should be afforded some level of consideration or alternative solutions to
accommodate our parking needs. Instead, we are left feeling marginalized and
discriminated against, with no viable parking options. In conclusion, the
parking situation at our residence has become untenable. We believe that the
rules and regulations enforced by Seacrest Services and the Lakes of Laguna
Homeowners Association need to be re-evaluated, particularly in cases
involving residents with disabilities. We hope that a more compassionate and
reasonable solution can be found to address the parking challenges we face,
allowing us to live comfortably and without the threat of fines in our own
home.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:Homeowners’ associations (HOAs) must also ensure that their governing documents do not contain discriminatory language. This includes rules that control who can use a community pool, where religious symbols can be placed, or whether ramps can be used instead of porch steps
Taking action where I am able to park in front of my home without obstruction and my garbage to be removed when the city come on Monday Thursdays.
The reason why I believe that they discriminated against us I can't tell you why because we're black because God have blessed us I don't know I have no idea but all I know I need a place to park and to be able to get to my car that I'll be able to get to the doctors do my community service where I serve for over 15 years now and other activities taking care of my community and continue paying my taxes.My complaint is there is resident in the whole entire community that park along the streets that park along their driveway that park along the collar SAC the other caller SAC with no barrier towards them except my property at 39 28 Lake Tahoe circle which this is a fuller discrimination against a disabled person and also no there are 4 entries you're the only one with a stop sign and no parking sign and a wooden barrier preventing you from parking or going wherever you want to go on your property in front of your property
What action can the Housing Authority take they can let the association adhere to the rules and regulation according to the law stated in the state of Florida and the United states seen below
Fair Housing Act
This law protects people from discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, and national origin. This includes private, public, and federally funded housing. It also protects people from discrimination when seeking housing assistance, getting a mortgage, and other housing-related activities.
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974
Section 109 of this act prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, disability, age, religion, and sex in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs and activities.

I lived in my complex since Feb of ******************************** June of 2024 I was told that I needed to change my house number they don't match what was allowed. I asked at time to please let me know where in the bi laws it states what is allowed, still haven't received that information. On 06/16 received First Warning Notice that House numbers were incorrect. I looked thought the paperwork from the *** and couldn't find anything show what numbers were allowed. I went to ********** and they sell 9 different font, styles, and colors. I sent a message through the Portal on 07/23 asking for someone to call me (which is what we were told was the best way to communicate). No call or reply. On 07/29 I received an email at 2:07pm that I had received a violation, and a ****** fine for my trash can being left out for more than 24hrs. I replied at 07/29 at 4:42pm saying I had to go out of town for a family emergency, that end with a funeral, but that I would have a neighbors come over immediately to move it. Which I did. In that email I ask for the property manager to call me, I had things I wanted to discuss. I returned home on 8/2 and logged into the portal to make my monthly due to fine I have over ****** in fines for rubbish and toys. What is rubbish? Prior violation I received a photo was attached. This time there was not. I emailed again and called. and send photos showing number were changed to the best match I could find, and yard was 100% clean. I sent a few more messages, and called 3 more times. Was told I would get a call in 48 hrs. The first call was on 8/2 its now 8/7 and no return call. I was spoken to rudely. As of this morning, I have ******* in fines. Our complex don't have a fining committee, per state statue one is required to assess fines. I don't know what to do to get someone to call me. This is unprofessional and very stressful for myself and my family. We receive notices send photos showing its resolved and nothing is fixed.Business Response
