      Short version: In 3/9/2024, we had an incident where my neighbors started yelling at me with profanity, hurling insults at me about my military service, my rank, my ******** page and my Bible Study Videos. My next door neighbor came over and assaulted me several times by ramming her shoulder into my mid-section, elbowing me and finally putting her knee into my testicles. I was also threatened by another visitor who instigated the scene even more. I called the police to report the assault. After the police talked to my neighbors and their company, the police told me they all denied this person's assault on me. Three weeks later I am getting a notice from the park of possible eviction that revolves around this incident. In the notice, there was statements made by my neighbors that indeed that this person did "Strike me" and that she was prodded into it. That is still an assault by Arizona State Law. They also lied to the police making it False statements to Authorities and Obstruction of Justice. Yet nothing has happened to them from the park! I am guessing the park allows criminal behavior and bad guys and wants the good guys out! As a 63 old retired Engineer with many health issues, this has not helped and with the disrepair that the park is in with revolving door management and maintenance, it's going to be hard to sell my trailer and will have to move it out.

      Complaint: 21567235

      I am rejecting this response because: According to the notice given to me verbatim says, " prodding a resident to strike me". This is an assault according to ARS 13-1203. This person was ************************* who rammed her shoulder 3-4 times in my chest, elbowed me twice and put her knee into my testicles. I never directed anything at her directly, but to the visitor of neighbors who instigated the whole thing. Then I directed all of my attention on another visitor who came out of the blue and came right up to me and threatened me. The police report says there was no physical altercation by any party, and this is not what the notice sent to me and must have come from complaints from the neighbors next door. The other thing I will mention is the three complaints against me were all recorded at the same time, by the same people, whether it was one complaint signed by 7-8 people or 7-8 people signed a complaint and used the same verbiage in each individual complaint. None of this has been written up against me until this single incident happened. Since 3/10/2024 though 4/24/2024 when I moved out, I have video, pictures and audio surveillance around my home to prove of false accusations against myself and have many complaints against these individuals and ******************* upkeep of the property, but I was told by the manager that she would just consider my complaints as harassment. Did anybody on the other end get written up? NO! Which makes this whole Notice given to me harassment and because MY peace and Safety have been violated and in jeopardy, I have no other choice to put a lawsuit against ELS, for not verifying information and discrimination! I haven't violated any noise ordinances (See attached). I have never been given any written warnings on anything in 2 1/2 years, until this one! I have so much more information but will save it for a possible lawsuit. This is no longer about paying to get my trailer moved, it's about a true form of justice, not the fabricated bs that ******************* and ELS has been fed and you have taken a side without ANY proof, but from people who one assaulted me, and the others died to the police, making it crimes. These include obstruction of justice, resisting arrest, accessory to a crime, and others. This is criminal behavior and if this is what you are going to keep allowing in your resorts, you got many more lawsuits coming your way.

      I was in the process of buying a mobile home in their community. I sent over personal sensitive information that they requested and filled out an application. They explained to me that my credit would have to be checked as part of the process. I then explained to them that I wasn't conformable in doing that unless I knew for sure that my offer was accepted since it would be a hard inquiry. The employee said they understood my concern and that she would make sure that wasn't the case. She followed, saying they accepted my offer and then told me it was 100% safe for me to submit my application since the offer was accepted. After i did as she requested, and i didn't hear back from even when i reached out multiple times. I decided i wanted to cancel my application I tried to resolve this with them and tried to have my complaint escalated, but i keep getting the round around. My concern with them is that when I ask about their complaint procedure, they say they don't have one. Also, when I request upper management, I get a random phone number from their other mobile home park community. The salesperson used unfair trade practices. When we met in person, i set my expectations and was clear about my questions and concerns. She explained to me that she would be making sure that is not the case and would only be taking my application only if the offer was accepted. I did not hear from her and was unable to get in contact with any type of management After she got my business, i believe she used false and misrepresented our agreement However, it was verbal and not written.

      I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to inform you that the person who was assigned to handle the ************* Estates case did not leave any form of contact details. I have tried reaching out to them through their website and their employees, but unfortunately, I have not received any response.

      As a result, I do not feel comfortable using the information provided on their website or by their employees. I would prefer to continue communication through this platform, as it has been our primary mode of communication and has proven to be effective.

      For your reference, the community home's name is ************************************ and the person's name is **************. I also contacted her supervisor, *******, twice and left a voicemail, but have not received a follow-up.

      I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but I wanted to inform you about this issue as soon as possible so we can find a way to proceed with the case.

      While I understand that you believe all procedures were followed, this is exactly my point - they were not. Your employee failed to comply with  protocols, and it seems that you are not comprehending the severity of the situation.

      The lack of a code of conduct in your service is highly concerning. When I asked your employees about your procedures, none of them seemed to have a clear understanding. Additionally, when discussing the process for submitting formal complaints, I was told by multiple employees that there is no such procedure in place. Furthermore, the fact that no one was willing to disclose their name and my formal complaints via voicemail have gone unanswered using the number you provided and the other numbers i was given is extremely alarming.

      It appears that your company lacks core values and your employees feel they can act with impunity. Although I have read and understood your response, I must reiterate that your employee's dishonesty and lack of transparency, as well as your failure to address my previous concerns, are causing me great frustration.

      I am not simply requesting any form of compensation or content from you. What I would appreciate is a phone number where I can escalate this matter and receive a prompt resolution like ive have requested over and over. It is disappointing that all of you have failed to understand the gravity of the situation thus far.

      It is extremely concerning that none of you have been able to provide the required information despite it being requested multiple times. This lack of response and accountability is affecting our progress.

      Please understand that timely and accurate information is crucial. I look forward to a prompt response

When My Daughter or Husband asks about the pools we get an impression that the office is just their for the money and don't really give a c*** about this place. They always have an excuse as to why in our contract lawns for example aren't being mowed like they used to . the pool not being free of leaves daily by maItence person. Ther is no proper comunication as to the pools being serviced or whatever. Also, We have asked the office to speak to our next door  neighbor whom freely walks on our property and was taking photographs of My Bras being hung to dry on the inside of my house. The Only way she would have known is her just walking on our property. As well as Letting her Cats  do their business in my carport.  She has also talked very deragtory about all 3 of us. My Daughter is Highly Alergic to cats and she was asked for it to stop. Yet it continues. The Park really don't give a c*** about anything that goes on here! It's a shame! In 2016 it was a nice park now not so much. They need to do a robo call just like they do for other things to let the residents know about the pools again no one in the office cares. thanks

      I purchased a membership June 2022, with assurance we would be able to reserve camping spots to parks we are able to visit within **********. We have not been able to submit a reservation for last two years and called customer service several times with nothing resolved. They stick to a script regarding a signed contract regardless of availability to parks that accomodate our needs and ready to upsell another region. We did sign a contract in good faith we could use it, however, there isn't any availability, they also altered original contract with minimum 60 day in-advance requirement with my tier of contract. I have not used their campgrounds as result, none available by time we can check online. They advised I can upgrade, or pay an early termination fee of $250 with no resolution option for non-availability. This is not fair and feel this is a scam. We were overpromised with assurances on site availability when they knew memberships oversold. I spoke with a sales staff trying to upsell me again, and acknowledged memberships oversold and confirmed several complaints due to non-availaiblity, provided me memberships phone number, and not productive. I do think we are owed past membership dues due to non-avaialibity however I will settle for the cancellation and will never use them again. I don't appreciate being taken advantage of and help others avoid same situation. I hope you can help obtain the cancellation and stop the membership charges to my account..

      We have not been able to reserve and use the campgrounds services due to non-availability of sites as our availability allows.  When I spoke with someone they confirmed too many memberships were sold to accomodate their customers.  It is not fair to expect the consumer to be obligated to travel outside our areas, which we can't afford to utilize the camping sites and was not the purpose when we purchased the membership from ****.

      Me and my husband signed up for Thousand Trails in 2022 and at that time i could travel full time. I have since been struck with multiple medical conditions that have me in and out of the hospital with admissions. Multiple times this year alone. I contacted Thousand Trails and advised i needed to get out of the contract as i'm unable to travel any longer and provided all documentation necessary and they are refusing to let me out of contract. They asked for medical documentation and i provided, then they asked for a letter stating i wasn't able to travel anymore (i provided 2 letters) and they are still refusing - this is putting a huge financial burden on my family and i need to be able to focus on my health without this hanging over my head.

      The park is ******************* "RESORT". Immediately upon arrival 1/6/2024 it was evident that certain amenities were not available or in disrepair. The mini golf was closed during my entire stay and one bathhouse was closed for 10 months and the other had a large hole in the ceiling that appeared to have mold. On 1/25/2024 the pool heater broke. Originally; the front office said that the heater would be replaced in a few days, so we were hopeful. As days passed the water temperature dropped in the pool to 60 degree and none of the guests could use the pool. On 2/13/24 the hot tub heater failed. On 2/16 I met with the property manager *********************************. ******************** was unable to give me any repair dates for the pool, hot tub or mini golf course. (At this point broken 3 weeks or more) I requested a refund and also followed up with an email to ******************** which I have attached. On Tuesday 2/20/24 we vacated Site 61 and notified the property manager that I would be calling the corporate office for a refund. I asked the front office staff for the contact info for the Equity Lifestyle **************** and was told that they could not provide that information and that I could find it on ******* I called ************** and also sent an email to ************************************************************ several times and never had a reply. To date ( more then 6 weeks) the pool, hot tub, mini golf and bathrooms remain in deplorable and unsafe conditions . This was supposed to we a "Resort" but it is only a dilapidated campground. We are retired, and my husband is Disable. We paid $4269.14 to do water aerobics , enjoy a daily hot tub, swim in a warm pool and at the least

      I am rejecting this response because while the pool remained open it was freezing cold. In fact 50 degree water could promote hypothermia therefore it was not usable. The pool was in disrepair for 32 days. The pool was not the only issue, the hot tub heater failed and was not repaired for 8 days. The conditions of the bathrooms were deplorable and unsafe.  The mini-golf was closed the entire stay. I needed the pool and hot tub for health reasons, for physical therapy and strength training.  After 4 weeks of not being able to use the amenities, my condition declined and I did need to leave for a spine procedure. I have attached the letter from my doctor.  I am entitled to a refund for the unused part of the stay.  I paid  to be at a "Resort Park" and not a "parking lot" .  The lack of amenities contributed to my physical decline. The ENTIRE reason why I  opted for a seasonal site was for a heated pool and hot tub during the 3 coldest months of the year. 

      Sincerely,

      *********************

      I am rejecting this response because: I would prefer never to return to this park? A credit for use at Fiesta Key or ************ or ************* would be acceptable.  Additionally, I have not seen an invoice for the credit so I do not know if it is an acceptable amount. 

      Sincerely,
