Hello I was double charged after air bnb evicted me from an illegal sublet situation and left me stranded in a hotel, pregnant. This is after using air bnb for 10 months straight giving them over 10 grand total. We were using air bnb to save up for an apartment as we live in Boston and there is a MAJOR affordable housing crisis. So a total of 10 days later after loaning money from my mother for the hotel stay they gave me the full refund….15 minutes later they double charged me and took every penny (138$ over what they refunded me).I immediately called my bank, screw air bnb, and they said they see the double charge but it would take a 10 day investigation and I have zero dollars. I can’t borrow anymore money as I can’t pay my mom back. Needless to say I’m pregnant and living in my car. I should have 1500$ but they took it since it was a month long stay. $1500!!!!!! Now I’ve been on the phone for hours every day and all I hear is m’am I’m so sorry we will have this expedited and we see you have been double charged. It’s been 5 business days and haven’t heard anything I’ve called about 5-10 times a day as I have no gas to get to work (which I’m sure I’ll be fired soon) Air bnb ruined my life. I don’t even think I can bring this child into the world….Im living out of my car. I’m still supposed to be at my reservation for another 25 days. I would of had enough to buy an apartment which is why my fiance and myself used air bnb; to save moving costs and save/look for an apartment I have never been in a worse situation of my life. Over the course of my ten month stay I’ve stayed in 6 different air bnb’s. I’ve had 4 open cases for domestic violence, different room than the pictures, no amenities that were listed and promised to me, roaches, crack cocaine smoke, hosts entering my room while I’m changing, hosts entering my room while I’m not home to turn a fan off due to electricity bill after listing air conditioning, host using a compost bucket on their kitchen counter with flies and bugs surrounded the bucket and he kept all the windows down while it was a heat wave…yeah you can assume that smell. I also had TWO SEPARATE EMERGENCY PLACEMENTS. Evicted from a house from illegal sublet. NOW THIS. Someone please give me any kind of advice anything
