Country Club Membership cancellation

Vijay Yadav · 10-17-2011, 06:06 PM

Hi
I am Vijay Yadav, I had visited country club (center stage mall, noida) on 14th sep 2011, on their invitation for free holiday package. I was engaged there in the sales call for membership. The membership was sold to me, I was not convinced with it internally. So I requested to cancel it immediately after my card was swipped for the membership fee of Rs 60,000/-.

Since then I have been continuously following up for cancellation of membership request and reversal of the transaction in my credit card account. I have spoken to the below members till now:
Mr. Ravi, Mr. Kapil, Mr. Girijesh Jha, Ms. Ruchika. Each member has taken their time in responding to my request and it is almost a month now and the transaction has not been reversed yet.

The transaction was processed at around 9 pm on 14th sep 2011, and immediately after it (approx. 10 mins, after I came out of their office), i requested for cancellation, and told them that I had actually come under pressure during the sales call, and request for cancellation because I cannot afford it and also am not the right person for this membership plan and am not interested in it.

During my followups, Mr. Girijesh Jha at one time confirmed that he will reverse the transaction, however the bank processing charges (for conversion into interest free EMI) will be deducted out of it. Ms. Ruchika also confirmed to me at this stage that Mr. Girjjesh Jha has approved my cancellation request and has forwarded an internal mail to the finance department. I requested a copy of the mail, to which she said, it is an internal mail, and cann't be shared with me.

But now Mr. Girijesh Jha is saying he is not the right person for cancellations and Ms. Ruchika has given me the Hyderabad contact details to followup.

This transaction is making me loose my sleeps now, request you to plz understand and reverse the credit card transaction. Attached below is my mail communication with the members of country club so far.

I, Lt Col Dinesh Tanwar, was handed to fill three Forms at petrol pump on purchase of fuel worth Rs 1500/- for a gift after scrutiny and selection. I filled the forms and received a call after 2 days stating that i have won a gift worth Rs 25000/- and was asked to collect it from Country Club office at Ansal Plaza, South Ext, New Delhi. I was requested to come along with wife at 4:30 PM to collect the Gift Voucher.Due to some impending task I could not reach.I was continuosly called and I finally succumbed to their insistance and reached at 7:30 PM.I had to cancel my appointment with my doctor(proof available) as they insisted that it was their last day in Delhi. After reaching it was disclosed to us that the gift promised was 6 days and 7 nights in any country club resorts.I had every mind to abuse them and return but since I had taken advance for LTA for current calender year I stayed put(proof available).I was told to stay for a presentation and then only the gift voucher will be handed over to me. I still wanted to go but when they promised that they will arrange the accomodation and stay at Trivandrum and three other locations in Kerala in the month of Dec itself, I agreed on this condition. They continued the presentation for three hours and despite my telling that I am getting late they did not hand over the promised gift voucher.Finally to avail my first and final LTA (retiring next year)at promised Kerala and by their trick of words on my wife I agreed to consider their proposal, the next day. However they played their card by telling me that the membership is cheap for that day only ie 5 DEC 2011 It being the country club anniversary day and so offer will be valid till midnight only.They further gave a lacuna that the promised gift voucher can only be availed during off peak season(Feb-Sep) thus leaving me with no other option but to get the card swiped at as late as 10:55 PM for membership(proof available).The agreement to take the membership was that they will book me for 6 days/7 nights at four locations in Kerala within the calender year ie before 31 dec 2011. On their promise I swiped my SBI credit card for total Rs 149500/- which was beyond my Credit Card limit on the day(proof available). The country club people assured me that since they have a tie up with SBI cards they will convert the payment into 24 EMI's @ 0% interest rate. They further calculated the EMI for the month and assured me that within 7 days I will be intimated for Rs 6333/- EMI. I was made to fill a form(tripartrite agreement) to the effect. So I agreed. After three days when I inquired about my Kerala reservations they asked me to give the email to country club for the choice of location and the dates(proof available). However, despite my sending the email nothing was heard nor any of my calls were answered including my calling on their personal mobiles( call details can be ascertained). I was finally forced to forgo my first and final LTA advance after waiting till 31st Dec 2011.

In between a call came from Country Club Relationship manager asking about the confirmation of the membership to which I refused as by that time I had heard enough stories of their defraud and their poor services. I still agreed to continue if the promised Kerala vacation could be fructified. She promised but nothing was heard thereafter. To this date neither my membership has come nor have i availed any facility provided by The Country Club.
Since then I have been continuously following up for cancellation of membership request and reversal of the transaction in my credit card account with SBI Card and country club people.

I am stating the truth and have proof available for the same.

This transaction is making me loose my sleeps now, request you to plz understand and reverse the credit card transaction. I am retiring next year and so will not be able to afford this membership as I have now heard that I have to pay for the maintenance of the membership also every year, over and above this amount of Rs152000/-.
