CIG Realty
Complaint 214849 Details

I contacted CIG realty after reading a ad they placed in our local Corpus Christi Paper. I had to wire them $2000.00 dollars to start. I am disabled and on Social Security Disability. Money is very tight for me. After looking at several houses and going through with there bid process that takes several months to finally get the home owner and CIG to agree on a buying price. I had found a home and had a contract signed by the seller, CIG never signed as the buyer and the sale never went though. I since have found a owner finance house and had requested my money back in May of 2012. My brother loaned me the $2000.00 dollars to put down on the owner financed house that I live in now. He had to take this money out of his savings account and I was to pay him back with my refund from CIG realty. My brother was saving this money to pay on his house taxes and now he had to pay more interest because of paying them late in the amount of 120.00 plus interest from the credit card which he used to pay his taxes with,the credit card is still incurring interest rates. The name of the person that I talked to at CIG realty is Anthoney Padiest, the assisant mgr at CIG. On three seperate occassions Anthoney gave me dates that CIG would overnite my refund in the amount of $2000.00, which I had never received. Anthoney Padiest was aware of the fact that my brother was loaning me this money out of his saving and he needed it paid back to him no later than Jan. 2013, Anthoney assured me that I would have my refund within 15 days after I requested it, and I requested the refund on 5-1-2012. Needless to say we are still waiting. I have since filed a police report with the Corpus Christi Police Dept Case Number 12-10310083. CIG reality under bids on all the houses I was interested in, and they normally took 3 weeks between counter offers so they could delay the process until the seller would get fed up and deny any more offers from CIG. This would give CIG more time to keep my money before I would finally say enough is enough and ask for a refund of my deposit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Holloway
