My husband and I tried to purchase a home through Federa.com in Deland Florida. We tried the Service Link first and it said the auction was cancelled, this was on January 4th. So, we went through the Federa auction which started on January 5th on and we bid $200,000.00 and put down $10,000.00. The next morning on January 6th the auction ended a couple hours early. Well come to find out, the owner of that house filed bankruptcy and Federa was not legally able to even auction that house. It was a fake auction and they are still taking offers today on this house, which is illegal. There is a stay and the house can’t be sold at this time. I found this out because I’m going to try and buy the house out of bankruptcy. Federa will still let you make an offer on the house through their app. I also called and they told me I could make an offer and that it might be a long time before I get an answer on my offer. Legally they can’t accept any offers. My husband and I are still waiting for our refund of $10,000.00 and from what I’m reading, it’s hard to get your money back. I also noticed another house you can make an offer on that was sold on 11/15/25, so they can’t legally sell that house either. I will be sending this information to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. I also sent this information to the owner of the house I bid on as well as his lawyer. I may hire a lawyer of my own to sue. Companies like this cannot be allowed to continue scamming people.
