Review of Tally


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

HORRIBLE COMPANY

I had two credit cards on file that needed to be paid - one with a 24% APR and another card if 15% APR. Rather than paying the credit card with the higher APR, which is what I essentially paid them a $300 fee to do, they paid the card with the 15% APR rather than the card with the higher APR. Making matters worse, I'm now paying Tally a 15% APR on a card that was already at a 15% APR, so the $300 fee I paid them was just a big waste of money. I hired this company to help get me out of debt and it ended up costing me more money and headache than it saved. I would strongly recommend NOT using Tally.

Update: It’s been almost a week since I sent my complaint to Tally’s support team to “make things right,” per their request and no response. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!! BUYER BEWARE!

Hi Darryl! We are so sorry for this oversight. We are happy to look into your account and review your cards to see what happened. Tally uses your credit line as a tool to help pay down higher APR cards and to protect you from any late fees so this should not have happened. Could you please send a message to [email protected] so that we can make this right? We look forward to speaking with you soon!

BUYER BEWARE

I'm not one to write bad reviews. In fact, in most cases I try to take the high road and if I find something unsatisfactory I simply don't write a review at all. This case is an exception, however, because of how bad it was, how false and misleading the ad was, and how the problem was ignored and never resolved by SummitCove's negligent and incompetent management team.

In dire need of a staycation, I found this property on VRBO. Judging by the misleading photos posted on VRBO, the property promised to be clean, peaceful and inviting, but as it turned out nothing could be further from the truth. The bed was so hard it was like sleeping on a piece of granite. The peaceful, lagoon-like pool area and hot tub that was advertised in the photos obviously has no time limits for the users and there were no less that three dozen people using them at any given time, most of whom were screaming children. And while most properties try to observe some social distancing standards or ask their guests to be courteous and sensitive to the spread of COVID, this is clearly not a concern to the folks at SummitCove. Such a blatant lack of regard for guests' safety and well being makes me wonder how careless they may also be when it comes to sanitizing their rooms. We were hoping for a bit of peace and quiet when the mobs of screaming kids left the pool and hot tub around 10pm, but then the noise started in the hallways and persisted throughout the night. The noise was so unbearable and bed was so uncomfortable, we were compelled to pack our bags at 2am and drive home.

I tried to reason with the management at SummitCove, but was essentially ignored. I was told by management it was my fault for not assuming the bed could be hard as slab of stone, as if mattresses filled with lumpy rocks is an industry standard for overpriced rooms such as this. I was told by management they have no control over the number of people who use their pool and hot tub at one time, even though their written disclosures imply otherwise, as do their acknowledgments of social distancing requirements due to COVID. I was told by management that being compelled to leave at 2am was my fault because it was up to me to call security and complain about the noise problem, as if it's the guests' job to patrol their hallways for noisy guests. Their resolution to this problem was a measly $25 refund, which, by the way, I never received, so even that offering turned out to be as bogus as the VRBO ad they have posted.

BUYER BEWARE: If you made the mistake I made judging this property by its misleading photos and information provided in their ad you're going to be sorely disappointed. If you're looking for an outrageously noisy property with an uncomfortable bed that's harder than a rock and a room that has all the trappings of a college frat dorm then this is your place! If you're looking for something pristine and peaceful with a comfortable bed then I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

Hello Darryl,
We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your experience. We don't manage the whole building, including the pool area and other properties and don't have control over what happens there, though it is to be expected that guests (especially children) will be out enjoying the pool. We do apologize that it wasn't what you were expecting. If you are looking for a quieter place, we have some options that may be better suited for that, outside of the main village. We have passed along the feedback about the mattress to the homeowner and will recommend an upgrade, but we don't feel that the listing is misleading. Next time, please call us real-time to let us know about the late-night noise; we'd be happy to call security for you. Since we weren't made aware of any of your issues until after you had checked out, we never had the chance to try to make things right for you. We are always available to help 24 hours a day when our guests need it, we are just a phone call away. Thank you.
