Prudential Property Managment / Maryka Guild stole our associations HOA dues. She should be arrested and loose her licence!!! Daytona Beach, Florida

To summaries a very long story Maryka Yvonne Guild was the property manager of Spring Garden Condos in Holly Hill Florida until a few months ago. The board noticed monies missing in our 2009 financial reports.  We asked to see the actual checkbook for our association to see what the unaccounted 10,000 was spent on and we were told NO! Little did we know at the time we had evey right to see our checkbook and we should have been signing the checks going out.  It took us MONTHS to finally fire Ms Guild because she would not give us any of our paperwork or give our check book back to us; it was a nightmare! She even had the nerve the first time we had a meeting to fire her, she told us we couldnt fire her unless one of us recieved a CAM licence. We found out that is a lie!  We eventually went over her head to the bank and asked for access to our account.   We found checks written out to herself among so many other issues we wont mention because of our investigation. 

She spent money without our approval, even gave herself a raise without our approval!! We found she was hiring unlicenced contractors to do work in the community and then paying them less than what was in our reports.  It does not take a rocket scientist to see what was happening to the difference. 

We are in the process of reporting all of this to the Florida Business Regulation but other communities and properties need to be careful when hiring a property manager.  Maryka has only had a licence for a few years and had no idea what she was doing!  The only thing she was good at was lying to us and loosing our money!   We are missing so much money and our reserve account had NEVER been funded.  Maryka had us fooled, but we hope this dosnt happen to anyone else!
