Get RV - GetRV.COM Out of Business?
Faced with complaints from both renters and owners, looks like GETRV.COM folded up and headed for the hills yesterday. No longer answering phones and the web sites down, debtors will be lucky to find any of these folks from whom to collect!
Troubles began last year, when renters' payments went into GETRV bank accounts and GETRV owners opted to slow or even stop payments to the RV owners...leaving debts in some cases over $25,000.
Bad press, price of fuel, bad management all left an unresolvable package their owners, Brian and Patti, simply couldn't face.
One has to seriously question the ethics of GETRV billing renters for rentals but keeping that money for their own needs rather than paying the owners for the RV. What...20% commissions weren't enough??

We did win our court case for $3800 plus interest. The Judgement has been file on their credit reports.
The Judge also issued in the judgement we can pursue collection on the owners and any officers/directors that were in involved in the company. The judgement was given before the bankruptcy so they still are still liable for the debt or it remains on their personal credit reports.
The courts have served GETRV and we have our court date in Dallas on 9/21/12. We filed for $3800 plus court fees, hotel, airfare, etc. I will post a followup.
Stan, Jennifer, Patti and all have deceived the people who supplied the motor homes. Customers paid in full well in advance.
We received nothing and are left with over $18,000 of promised payments. Shameful.
A first for this company to bear. If integrity is still there somewhere, we do expect that we will be paid as promised by so many at the call center.javascript:ac_smilie(':cry')
If and when they formally file .. GetRV.com should list you as a creditor ..
if you receive a notice as a creditor .. I urge everyone to file a complaint with the bankruptcy court to have GetRV.com and its owner to be held responsible for repayment of the debt ..
don't let them just dismiss the debts .. fight for every penny ..
I can only hope the bankruptcy court sees the situation as more criminal than financial!
I heard through the grapevine that GetRV.com is filing for Bankruptcy protection .. so if you are owed money ..
I hope you file a claim with the bankruptcy court .. otherwise Brian Heath will walk away with a clean slate ..
Per the below quoted message from anonymous .. before you start throwing people under the bus and pointing fingers ..
be aware that while I was employed at GetRV.com I never "floated the checks" since I was not a signer or Officer of the company, I never had the ability to "float checks" .. any check that were "floated" were done so by the owners .. they were given the check in a timely manner and they .. and they alone ..
had control of when the checks were signed and mailed .. it is really sad that someone has to go back to 2009 to dig up a name of a former employee that had nothing to do with the recent activities of this now defunct company .. Ron
"I used to rent my moho's thru these folks but got tired of their lies do I dropped them.
Ron, the guy who floated the checks cell phone used to be 972-272-****. Good luck to all."
I worked there for 3 months over the summer of 2009. They called ME and wanted to hire me due to my experience in the travel industry.
They laid me off after 3 months once summer was over. Never paid my full paycheck and the tiny commission I was due. I would get calls from lots of RV owners asking about their payment. When I asked the owners, they really did say things like, "we are working on it ".
And to comment on RON....he was one of the best... honest, hard working and an all around great guy. He just got taken advantage of... do not throw him under the bus.
He was one of the good, honest ones.... he just got taken advantage of like I did...
Yes, same guy - Rustysilverwings. I set up alias before things folded as I was cautious about inviting retaliatory lawsuits. Didn't mean to "hide"...my loss is significant, public, verified, and I did nothing during the course of my rentals other than be friendly and respectful to GETRV employees, and to feel that they should have been more open about the unlikely payments ever coming in the mail.
And who are you? And yes, you can trust me. I am not the kind of man who leads people into the mess that GETRV delivered to us owners.
You folks know where I live...come see me, come talk it over, go visit the Texas AG and explain what you know.
Seriously, they kept the "booking agents" in the dark... we , (well, at least me) did all we could to locate the perfect RV/travel trailer for each client.
The owners had a HUGE, BEAUTIFUL "Class A" motorhome...
wonder what happened to IT??? hmmmm
I rented a camper for April 16 and called today to verify and there out of business. Didn't even get a call from them.
They owe me 1800 and I have to find a camper for next week. Rotten people.
Hey "Happy wheels", are you the same as "Rustysilverwings"? rustysilverwings email address.
just curious??
Gee, really hard to trust someone that hides behind several fictious names and act like the authority. huh, interesting......
Brian Heath is listed as a director for another vacation rental company in Dallas called VRResNetwork.com. There site is active.
I hope the Texas General Attorney's office charges him with criminal intent theft by taking.
We filed a complaint with them. We are still owed $2600+ since Sept 2011.
Call Sgt McDonald, Dallas Police Financial Crimes, 214 671-****
I would like to settle something once and for all with this whole employee level of knowledge thing and then put all this behind me. I worked the phones there up until the last day and let me tell you when we went out of business I was as shocked as the next person.
Yes Wes you are correct we were a small office and we did know that Getrv was having financial trouble HOWEVER like everyone we were told this was a temporary bump in the road and we would get past this, so until then we were to keep doing the job that they hired us to do. So in order to keep roofs over our families heads and food in kids tummies that is what I did. Monday I went to work and by Tuesday at 2 I had no job, I was as if not more shocked as everyone else. So please everyone we did a good job for you guys and did the absolute best we could all the time, so leave us former employee's out of it.
We didn't have "blinders" on nor or we ignorant fools....we were 10 dollar an hour sales reps who were doing their job. If you have beef with the owners that's you guys but please leave myself, Christy out of it.
Reached Jim but he maintains he has no connection with the late, great Brian or GETRV. Reached Patti and, although she remains a corporate officer of getrv she says she has no remaining connection with her father-in-law and is not responsible for GETRV issues. Patti explained that RVRENTALSDFW is not associated with GETRV nor Brian and Patti.
Again, I urge those of us they've hurt not to engage in personal attacks on former employees, yet I have to ask how they can maintain their ignorance of the failure of GETRV to make owners' payments since September - I ask what kind of blinders are required to ignore such an obvious situation in such a little office.
Former employees, help us track these folks down.
Texas AG and FBI, keep on plugging'!
These same folks seem "reborn":
RV Rentals DFW

still "Bill" and "Amy" - track 'em down, Texas AG!
To Anonymous,Per your message below .. I think you had better get the name and your story corrected ..
Ron has not worked at GetRV for over 2 years .. he left before all of this happened .. you should instead point your blame on the owners who constantly lied and then took the money and ran .. Also, that phone number is not a good number ..
he has not had that number since 2009 .. Try Brian Heath at 214-534-**** or Amy Picchotti his daughter and co-owner as listed with the State of Texas at 214-226-****Good luck in tracking Brian down .. rumor has it he high-tailed it to Florida .. 3.

Same story, I am owed 1,000 from August 2011. I have been told many times the check is in the mail.
I spoke to Patti Heath directly and was told they would "Not screw their customers" and it was a credit card issue.
Please contact me for any legal action. Beauvais7@***.com
I rented my Coach they collected from the renter and kept stringing me along saying they were going to pay.
Patti shame on you. Do we have any recourse to collect?
