Hi,

Even we are cheated by Country vacations Shivajinagar Bangalore. We were called some time in May
2011 saying we are lucky couple & won some prizes. They gave us 6 glass bowls + a presentation
asking us to take the membership.
We agreed to pay 38000 via EMI (hdfc credit card) for life time membership with Country vacations.
So far we have not got the memebership cards yet.
Within couple of days we got to know that whatever they claim is not what they provide.
We called them couple of times to cancel the membership & return our monely, they didnt do.
representatives in the shivaji nagar branch stopped recieving our calls & responding to emails.
We contacted the country vacations customer care too, but was no use.
We are totally frustrated with these.

Can you suggest how to deal with this?

Thanks
Shubha

cancellation of my membership (CVHYD4club30LB91794) due to fraud from Country Vacation

Hello All,


This is regarding cancellation of my membership (CVHYD4club30LB91794) with the country vacation, a part of country club because of your fake commitments and false information being provided by the executives.


On 1^st Sep 2011, received a call from your executive Mr Prakash, regarding free Gift coupon during our shopping at big bazar, Hyderabad. My wife and I went to Amritha castle to collect our Gift &free holiday package of 7 days, but before passing the gift they forced us to attend some seminar. In the seminar two of the executives accompanied us and started explaining about Country vacation membership. Seminar hall was very congested and music was on.


They started asking very personal question and on objection they replied that such discussion is just a part of their seminar. There they fascinated us and offered the membership of country vacation. The offer included:
· 7 days and 6-night hotel accommodation.
· Lifetime club membership
· Holiday across the globe.
· 4-5 times Function hall booking.
· Rent and Sell out of membership to anyone (to be done by the agent with 10% interest.)
· Tie up with SBI Credit card and HDFC credit card with 0% interest rate on EMI.
· Family insurance for 6 Lac
· Gold card
For the above-mentioned offer they charged us an amount of Rs 1.98 lakh. On denying this offer they started negotiating and reduce the amount to Rs 1.68 lakhs for being non-residential of Hyderabad and for housewife (as my wife is a housewife and 2night 3 days holiday package (including Airfare)).they didn’t given time to think and forced our cell phone to be off.


Meanwhile they initiated the agreement procedure and asked for my credit card and swiped Rs 68000, 50000 and 15000 in a min. They did the transaction while the discussion was on. On disagreeing, executive and manager tried convincing for the closure of the proposal to an amount of 1.38 lakh, and persuaded us to avail the service and when desired they will help us out for rent or sellout. Left nowhere unwillingly did a transaction of Rs 5000 for the closure and signed the document.

On confirmation, except first three points they didn’t comment anything about the other services in the legal document. On verification came to know about the company and how many fraud has been done.to their customer.

Reading the reviews and other details I approached Mr Gupta, customer care manger to cancel my request but he denied.

I don’t have any faith on the company after reading the customer reviews, no tie up with bank, no commitment for selling this membership and fraud Commitment by the executive. No time has been given us to think about this membership.

To resolve the problem, I would like you to credit my account for the amount charged for this proposal as I disagree to carry on the membership.

Please help us from country vacation.

With rgds,
Subhash

I took Country Vacation membership from Country Vacation, Sarjapura Bangalore in Sept 2012. I was lured with many benefits like:
1) Country Club membership for lifetime.
2) Country Club Events: It was told that there were several events organized by Country Club and I would get free passes for new year and other special events.

Here is the catch... while giving membership they will assure you that they will help in any issues in services provided by Country Club. But in reality, they throw their hands by saying Country Club is different entity and they don't have any authority to address their issues. Interestingly, Country Club says since you got all promises/commitments from Country Vacation, then talk to Country Vacation staff. Beware! this is worst than any government staff.

Here are my list of issues:

Permanent Membership Card: I have called several times to Kormangala Customer Service numbers regarding permanent membership card since Dec 2012. Every time I called them, they gave me 1 week deadline but till today I didn’t get the card. Not even single time; I got any follow-up call from customer service. I also informed it to Sukanya in Sarjapura Office and she said she would follow-up but even it is not happened.
New Year Passes: I called several times during Dec 2012 for new year passes and everytime it was told me that I would get passes in last week of Dec by courier. I called till 30th Dec 2012 and I got same response from Kormangla as well as Sarjapura office. I went to Sarjapura office on 30th Dec 2012 to inquire about it and reception told me to go to Kormangla office to collect. Why should I go to Kormangla office to collect passes when I have paid entire money. Even for bank loan., Mobile Connection, internet connection, company sends its employees to customer’s place. Instead of rectifying own mistake, receptionist was telling me to go Kormangla Office. I am definitely not happy with service as well as communication.
Event Calendar 2012: Till today, I didn’t receive event calendar for 2012.The last communication was done on 11 Feb 2012.
Valentine Day Event at Sarjapura On 11 Feb 2012: I inquire about the event at Kormangla office. She has no information about the event. I went to Sarjapura office and talk to Suknya about membership card as well as event calendar. I also informed her about the inquiry I made in Kormangla office about Valentine Day. She said that she would do follow-up and she provided me temporary blue pamphlet containing events till March 2012. I asked her about Valentine Day and she told me that if event was specified in the pamphlet then you can join the event free. On valentine day 9PM, when I came to sarjapura office along with my wife, it was told me that the event was not for members but opened for all. And everyone including members had to reserve the table by paying the event money. I talked to Avinash(Event coordinator) about what was promised me on 11th Feb 2012. He told me if promise was made by Country Vacation team, I should discuss with them, not with Country Club team. When I went to Country Vacation’s office, reception was telling me to talk to Suknya and she was not in office. Is this the way you guys solve problem, just passing customer to different people? It seems to be worst than any government office. Anyway I tried to call to Suknya and all she could do was to sms me –“who is this?” She didn’t care to pick-up the call. Even when I sms her that I am country club member and has to talk to her , she didn’t bother to take call. Hats off to your service and thanks for spoiling my first valentine day after marriage.
Events at Sarjapura Club: Since Nov 2011 till Feb 2012, only paid events are organized. None of the free events (weekend events) are organized. There is no communication provided for cancellation of event or any paid event. No card is provided for Country Club lifetime membership. How come I access Country Club service by using Country Vacation card when these two are different entities?
Cancellation Of membership: I asked them to cancel my membership. And Country Vacation says they don't have cancellation policy and they are not ready to cancel the service. When asked about poor service provided, they put all blame on Country Club which is different division and is not part of Country Vacation. I am not able to understand how come they provide Country Club event calendar and lure customers by highlighting benefits of Country Club. In reality, there is no benefit of Country Club at all. How come service is not having any cancellation policy? What should a customer do if he is not happy with the quality of service provided?

Hi Friends,

I am also one of you. But when compared to your loss mine is very less. The mistake we have done is with out going through the documents we all paid them money. even after paying money at that time also we are not going through the documents. In the documents they have mentioned that "we are not responsible for the communication made by representatives and not responsible for any loss". The alias name for country club is "Fraud". They are very intelligent and they playing with human weakness. I hope it is waste of time to file case against them. The government has to take action against these things as we know that behind this government is supporting them.

Just think how can they do this kind of fraud in such a level.

The one way to stop this kind of thing is don't drop any coupons in shopping malls and suggest the shopping mall management to stop encouraging this kind of activity. The main business provided for them is shopping malls.

Every where people are being cheated by these kind of cunning tricks.

So my suggestion is don't waste time is filing case on them it is waste of time and money.


Forget about the loss and you should think this is a good lesson for us.
