Did you get taken by Georgia Property Leasing, Steve Bullen?
I just found out that Steve Bullen has left the US today, 8/24/2010, headed to Australia, his home country, not honoring his debts. He owes money to me and supposedly to many others. If you are one of the people scammed by Steve Bullen please let me hear from you.

My husband and I have been renting from this guy for 2 years; our rent check hasn't posted so we called the maintanence office repeatedly and can't get a hold of anyone. Now we don't know where our account stands or who we have an agreement with.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I rented through GPL for 2 years, without any problems. We moved to a new county, where GPL did not represent any properties, in August. After not hearing anything about our deposit, for a little over a month, I was able to find out, just last week, that Steve had gone bankrupt and left the country. No notice, of course.
ReplyDeleteI never pegged Steve for this kind of guy, I mean, wasn't he a minister or something, with that C3 church? I imagine there's not much recourse since he has left the country. After having lived in the US for so long, I feel that his return to Australia was solely to avoid prosecution. That is such a cowardly thing to do.
Steve Bullen and Simone Bullen of GA Property Leasing was based in Roswell, GA. They managed 6 properties for me in Atlanta and disappeared in August and took all my tenant's deposits. They owe about $6,000 to my tenants. The tenants are very mad and I'm thinking about filing a police report now. I tracked them down in Australia. Check out www.simonebullen.com.au. She runs another property management service there in Victoria. Their phone # is 03 9370 0246. They need to do the right thing and return the money. Their employee Tiffany Newman lives in Cumming. She is on facebook. I think their house in Cherokee got foreclosed on. He was a minister at C3 in Alpharetta, but the website doesn't seem to work now. Anyone with other info, please contact me. I may contact the police in Australia too, but would like some other help.

They managed one property for me for just over two years. Out of the blue, at the end of August, I received a letter they were no longer operating as my property manager and that the company had been liquidated. They did not return the deposit money to the tenant either nor did I receive September's rent. It certainly is a bad situation and if he indeed left the county, that makes it even more difficult. If we could some how get all the property owners that had agreements with him together to make a claim, it might be better. (more power in numbers). I've been checking the web periodically to see if anyone else has posted anything and this is the first I've seen.
ReplyDeleteOVER THE FALLS !!!! WIPEOUT !!!! You could see this coming a mile away. Steve Bullen and Simone Bullen of GA Property Leasing were pastors at Christian City Church, Lawrenceville Atlanta with Dean and Jill Sweetman, then promoted to their own C3 franchise in Atlanta. Lot's of financially questionable things did go on there when Steve was there. Crazy commercial wheeling and dealing with naive church members and an IRS investigation at one point for breaching 501(c)3 not-for profit regulations. One church family lost $460,000 in one particular Steve T. Bullen property deal that went belly up. There was a group of them scamming and they all fell over, like a house of cards. Steve thought he was untouchable. See this link http://archive.gainesvilletimes.com/legals/20090521/0821.html This church movement has a long history over 20+ years for producing tax and financial scammers, It's part of their leadership DNA to chase hard after money and business, resulting in alot of internal financial squabbles over music royalties, fees, salaries, properties etc, so hang on to your checkbook amigos ! All online mentions of the Bullen's involvement in C3 and Christian City Church have been deleted. While this was predictable, it is still very sad. Steve if you read this, gets some gonads and honor your debts.

ReplyDeleteHi guys. If you're looking for Steve Bullen, here is his plumbers website: stevebullenplumbing.com
ReplyDeleteI doubt you'd get him at the DEE WHY post address as that is C3 HQ in Sydney.
The website lists a phone number
