Crashpadder Nightmare - Alyson Gribbin Cheapskate Crashpadder Troll

Here are some tips on how to avoid a nightmare guest like Alyson Gribbin, do not be afraid to cancel a crashpadder booking because it may save you in the long run.

I have had quite a good experiance with Crashpadders up until I recieved a booking from Alyson Gribbin, who to my mind is a cheap and evil troll, whenever you are in a situation it is important to look at yourself first before being mean about other people.

I would warn anyone against renting to Alyson Gribbin as she is a very nasty person who tells lies for money and causes problems and its not worth the few quid you make from Crashpadder for the agrovation that this troll will cause you!

I hope this post will make other Crashpadders aware of some of the things to watch for to avoid letting a nasty person into their homes and lives.

Crashpadder is a community and has a spirit of being helpfull and saving money, Alyson Gribbin fails to see this and is just plain evil in my book!

Here is what I learnt from allowing Alyson Gribbin into my home, which I regret.

• Do not rent to anyone on Crashpadder that does not have a proper profile with a photo!

If the Crashpadder does not have a real profile with a photo, OK they maybe hiddiously ugly like Alyson Gribbin or have something else to hide.

• Do not rent to anyone on Crashpadder who does not reply to your emails or phone calls!

If after accepting a booking the Crashpadder does not answer your calls or emails, you may think there is something suspicious, It does not take long to set up a fake email and personality in order to gain access to your home.

A real person will answer emails and respond to phonecalls - Alyson Gribbin did not and I blame myself for not canceling the booking.

• Do not rent to anyone on Crashpadder if you cannot be there to meet them!

Crashpadder is a good way to rent out a room or a flat on a short term basis, I had to leave the country for work and decided to honour the booking, as I was not there to meet the Gribbin troll my nextdoor neighbour let it into my home - BIG MISTAKE!

The best advice I can give to anyone thinking of renting a room through Crashpadder is be there to meet your guest. You can refuse to let them stay if you think they are doddgey in anyway! Be aware of this and do not be scared to refuse entry to unsavoury people like Alyson Gribbin.

• Do not take payment via Paypal (it's not your pal)

You can be charged back via Paypal if your guest complains, this will not happen if you use your bank! Also you save on the Paypal fee's.

Crashpadder admin were not very helpfull after my problems with Alyson Gribbin, which I was a bit dissapointed with, I feel that they earn their 10% (fairly) from me everytime I rent my room, ultimatly if you have a nasty, maladjusted old boot like the Gribbin tell lies about you and your home to claim back £20 the admin should side with the Crashpadder that is making them money by opening their home.

It is hurtfull and upsetting when people tell lies about you and your home, it is worse if things go missing and the admin does not support you as well as taking the money used to gain access to your home back from you!
