[Resolved] Country Vacations — Fraud and cheated by Country Vacation | |||
Some backgorund: My wife had filled a luck draw coupon at Big Bazaar in Fatima Nagar, Pune. After 2-3 days, she got a call from Country Vacations, Pune and the call was regarding the coupon which we filled in Big Bazaar has got selected in their lucky draw & they have gift for us. They asked us to visit their office and collect the gift. We were very happy and we went to Country Vacations office pune on 15th Sept 2010. At their place they told us, we have to attend some 90 mins presentation, and then they will give us our gift. Out of curiosity we decided to attend their presentation. In that presentation, they hypnotize us by their words and all promises. They showed us different booklets, there hotel chains, certificates and their ads in newspapers. In short words, their credit value in the market. Hence we thought this company is genuine and we can take membership of 5 yrs. Still we though to give a second chance before buying this membership and we asked them to give us some time and we will tell you on second day. But somehow they manage to convince us by giving us Rs.30000 discount on our package for that we needed to buy the membership on the very same day. We filled their forms and signed it. They ask us to pay Rs.50000 as down-pay and if we pay it by Credit Card. They promised that, that amount will get convert into 36 EMIs with 0% processing fee and 0% interest rate in a week hence I gave my SBI Credit Card. In the next month SBI charged us interest for country vacation payment. We inquired in SBI and they told us they have not received any request from country vacation to convert their amount in EMI’s. After that we visited country vacation office many times and filled up the form twice to get our amount in to EMI’s. They keep promising us that it will done within 5 days but still today that amt is not converted into EMI’s and I am paying interest to SBI. Now we are feeling they have cheated us with their all fake promises. We searched some members like us who are cheated by country vacations. They promised us below things: 1) On 15th Sept 2010, they told us there are only 20 luck families who can avail these facilities from pune. ( till date we can see they are telling the same thing to new people and cheating new families) 2) Their country club pune branch will start in two month and we can avail their facilities for life time at free of cost from today. (today they are saying, you can avail their facilities only after paying full amount Rs.95000/-) 3) One year free Tasha package. 4) We will have membership cards in 30-45 days.( still we have not received any cards) 5) We can use their club for family occasions. (but their club is not available only to avail these facility) 6) 4 star & 5 star living in their hotels at free of cost. You can any time book their hotel and you will get sure booking for your request (if we try to book their hotel, it is always already booked for next two months) 7) Free passes for any special occasion celebrating in country club worldwide, they will call us to collect the passes. (still today we have not received any call or passes for their programs.) 8) After every release of any new movie, they will show us that movie in next week free of cost in their club. (till date nothing happened) There are many such promises which they have not fulfilled till date. Was this information helpful? | |||

After 2-3 weeks we got a call from Country Vacations, indore and the call was regarding the coupon which we filled in Big Bazaar has got selected in their lucky draw & they have a gift &holiday package for 4 person for 6night&7days for us. They asked us to visit their office at 10'oclock and collect the gift. We were very happy and we went to Country Vacations office indore on 6th march 2011. At their place they told us, we have to attend some 90 mins presentation, and then they will give us our gift. Out of curiosity we decided to attend their presentation. In that presentation, they hypnotize us by their words and all promises. They showed us different booklets, there hotel chains, certificates and their ads in newspapers.they took our pic etc.they told to usto pay a sum of rs4000as tax.as we came back to home we told this good news to our family members.they told us that it is frod .then we came to know about it and we saved from them.
facing tyhe same problem...we can fight together to get our monmey back...my name is ashish naik n my number is [protected]
i had filled the form on 24th of april...kindly contact me or giv ur contact number
On 20/04/2011, I got a call from a girl named "Kashmira". She told that there has been a lucky draw which has happened and I am one of the lucky people who will be receiving a dinner set, a week accommodation. To receive the gift, I and wife had to visit their office.
So, I and wife went to visit their office for receiving the gift. When we visited that place they told me that they will give a small presentation so we agreed to it. At the presentation they (Shrutesh Jadhav, Rasheed Shaikh and Sanjiv Kumar Singh) told us about lots of offers for holiday resorts. There were several plans. At that instance, the offer was looking good, So, we confirmed for their 5 years plan worth Rs. 81, 000.00
At the same time, I was told about EMI scheme from ICICI Credit card and SBI Credit Card for 72 months. As I was not sure they convinced me by saying that you can sign the slip and you will receive confirmation call from ICICI Bank and our Head office and I will have option to revert back. So, I signed the credit slip for EMI for total amount of Rs 81, 000.00
No sooner I came home and opened the agreement documents, I found out that there are several things which were told and not entered in the agreement. Following are the points on which the company has failed and created fraud:
1. The contract agreement does not show any reference for the maintenance charges worth `. 6000.00/year being waived off for us which including all luxury, service and additional taxes., being explained.
2. The contract agreement does not show any reference for a total of 14 days per year for 5 years to be allotted to us, but explained.
3. The contract agreement does not show any reference for meals i.e. breakfast and dinner to be allotted to us, but explained.
4. The contract agreement does not show any reference for the complementary gifts promised to us i.e. 32” Samsung LCD/Plasma (4 G) and a 20.0 L Micro Oven, but explained.
5. The contract agreement does not show any reference for the club membership being available all over for all existing and once to be launched clubs across India, but explained.
6. The contract agreement shows that the membership period is from 20/04/2011 to 20/04/2015, but we were explained that the total no. of days being allotted to us i.e. (6 nights and 7 days) X 5 Years can be utilized till unutilized and has no expiry.
7. The Holiday Gift Voucher is issued to us in the name Mr. Deepankar Lodha which should be Mr. Deepankar Kankalia. Please rectify and send the correct copy.
8. There is no mention about the club week-end events would have dinner included.
9. The fee of Rs. 81000.00 is inclusive of all luxury, service and additional taxes.
I received sms the next day from the banks that total amount of Rs. 81000.00 was pulled out of my credit cards in Rs. 51, 000 and Rs. 30000 on ICICI and SBI Credit Cards respectively. This was supposed to be paid in 72 equal installements without any intrest and processing changes.
I had accepted the Country Vacations membership on clear understanding that they would charge me the total amount of Rs. 51000.00 over my ICICI Bank Credit Card in 72 easy monthly instalment comprising transaction of Rs. 1125.00/month.
i.e.
ICICI Bank Credit Card = 708.33 X 72 Months = Rs. 51000.00.
SBI Bank Credit Card = 416.66 X 72 months = Rs. 30000.00
I contacted the company and I was assured that the work would be done in 8 days. So after 8 days when the work was not done, I searched for the company’s review. There were so many customers suffering throughout India. I got shocked that the company is fooling so many customers and I became one of them.
I started to write emails to the company and gave hundreds of calls and visited the office several times to which they kept assuring me that the work would be done. During this time, I had given many written applications for which once when I was sitting with a senior person at their office mentioned that since the credit card bill is not paid, why don’t you file for charge back for which I did it. I am waiting for the result and hoping that the amount would be refunded to my credit cards.
It is a fraud and an unreliable company...BE AWARE and dont fall into their trap...

Hi, Iam Nebu Thomas from Kerala. I have got a call from country vacations mentioning that I have selected for free accommodation for 7 days at any one of country vacation resorts and they told me to meet them with my wife. I approached them today alone and they said they want to meet us both together to fill and sign some documents. Then I felt some fraud smell in their talking and I left that place quickly. Now after going thru so many opinions I feel that it is a pakka fraud company.
