Club Mahindra Holidays — blue studio

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600 002
Website:www.clubmahindra.com

They keep changing the seasons and corner you to upgrade ur membership. I have so many days lapsed coz of this sick policies. Wherever they see that bookings are more during a time period, they immediately put it to a higher season and when u raise concerns they stick to the word policy. A member for almost 10 years, i feel sorry and regret abt my decision i made almost 10 years ago now. These scammers just need your asf [ annual subscription fees which comes up to ~15k a year which the marketing team did tell after the membership was taken (Sorry i dont have evidence abt it)] and then they raise the band of all holidays cornering you to upgrade. So i[censored] decide to stay on the lower band, you end up lapsing your holidays. This is not the clubmahindra 5 years back where the team was great. The old teamis replaced by a team of soothsayers who just keep telling policy policy policy. Any robot could do that. Please help get the membership cancelled with a percentage as a refund as this seems more of a cornering to an upgrade else as a customer i would have to lapse the services tht i have paid for.

Membership id : 1651437
Booking tried for : aug:[protected]

Note: last year the same was in blue or white season, this time they moved it to red cornering the member to either lapse the days or upgrade membership

There were some apology related recrediting of holidays due to some atrocious act by the club mahindra Employees @Poovar. I have the mail concerning the same.

I was asking Amar about using those recreditable holidays for the booking requested. Still an egoistic no was the answer.

Anyways the blue membership is just to pay ASF and lapse the days.

Now if the same cannot be done by you guys then there apology stands void and then, is it a charge against IPC 140, 120A, 464, 500, 499 which should be taken both as a criminal offence and as a consumer offence.

Also on the criminal offence terms :: 354A against the club mahindra employee at poovar and the employees who tried to cover up for it.

Amar from Member-Relations called yet again on saturday [16th Jun 2018] morning to say that someone else me contact me by end of saturday.

Mr Amar from Member Relations of Club Mahindra called again on Monday[protected] Evening even though as a customer, I had told that I donot want to speak anymore with him.
This time he told he will be sending the cancellation policy details which I requested almost 2 weeks back.
Yeah Club Mahindra is happy to see anyone (who questions their tyrrany on customers ) go. But without proper refunds let the law of the land decide on issues, the stess and the humility that the customers suffer under Club Mahindra.

Note:: still the mail is not sent **

ClubMahindra Says ::

Thank you for sparing your valuable time to speak with me.


A contract cancellation would be bound by the applicable membership contractual terms. In case the membership is fully paid (100% of the total membership fee), 60% of the same is non-refundable and towards the Admission Fees. While the balance 40% is refundable post deducting all the utilization on the membership such as complimentary nights, resort credit vouchers, holidays taken, any other benefits received as part of the enrolment offer and pending dues. If you’d want to know the refund that’ll be applicable as on today, please let me know and I’ll fetch the details for you. In any case, there shan't be full refund applicable on cancellation of your membership. Rather than cancelling your membership, you can also look at transferring your membership to any of your friend or relatives. Let me know if you’d be interested to explore the transfer option. This is a flexible timeshare product and I’d still recommend that we have a discussion on the best utilization of your membership.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be of service to you.

My Reply to Club Mahindra::
Hi Amar from Member Experience Management,

Thanks for the policy update.

Now that I have your policy, please find the compensation details from my end.

Compensation against the mental stress given by your folks :: 1 Lakh

Compensation against the false promises made about customer relations : 0.25 Lakhs

Compensation against the lapse policy of vacations for the nonavailability of rooms when the customer tries to book (fraud): 0.25 Lakh

Compensation against the verbal atrocity against my family at Poovar :: criminal case against the accused and whoever tried to cover up with false promises against it.

Along with this I demand a full refund of the initial amount. Where in I give back as a perk the huge variant ASF charges and the nearly begging stage each time when I tried for a booking.

Hope my terms are clear for you. If you have any more doubts in this regards, dont hesitate to call me back.

Regards,
Asish

Greetings from Club Mahindra!

Kindly write back to me with a convenient time tomorrow and/or an alternate number for me to establish a connect with you.

The joy and happiness clubmahindra is providing with 'certain people in decisive positions interacting with customers' is truly amazing.

Unfortunately this time the joy has crossed all limits to an ecstasy that as a customer I dont wish to beg anymore with any any representatives[ yes that is the real experience for any customer on a lower season as year after year you guys shrink the availability for lower customers forcing them to upgrade, or lapse his holidays purchased by hard earned money or leave with none of the amount that he payed with the tricks of mathematics] from ClubMahindra .
I have made my statements clear in my previous mails as Amar from ClubMahindra interacting for over a month has proved that he-representing clubmahindra bears no courtesy to the holidays of the customer and just corners them to upgrade and neither to the apology statements for mishaps from clubmahindra of the past.
Now that it has crossed limits, I dont wish to explain anymore on what all has happened again and again.

I am wiling to move it legally contacting the different government and judicial channels available for all the mental and monetary stress that clubmahindras has provided me at the time of holiday booking and via the staff of certain resorts covered up by the member relations with apology which they don mean at all.

Transfer of this kind of a membership with such a great back end team which literally makes the customer beg is the worst thing I would do to any enemy. Forget about my friends and family.

You can contact me back with reference to my last email and how better the refunds could be which on the other hand, we can talk in terms of the charges that I had explained in the last resort of an Indian citizen- the judiciary.
Note[ Amar had mentioned that someone else would call on monday evening and I did not expect just an email at 8:57 pm on monday. This clearly shows the level of dedication that clubmahindra has for customers ]
Hope you have understood my mail and if you wish to contact me regarding a talk on refunds, then please get revert::

My Reply::

Hi Laxmi,

Thanks for the email.

As mentioned by you before cancellations is really not going to be the motto which really benefits ClubMahindra and Myself.

The 27K out of the ~150K which tends up to 18% with

60% non-refundable Admission Fees


84664.80

is obviously not acceptable as a Consumer of Clubmahindra Membership.

Also I did not recieve any call after you had spent my time replying with a convenient time. Anyways thats the wish of ClubMahindra on whether they want to contact me or not. It jsut shows the professionalism.

With the Consumer Rights of the consumer may I ask the below questions:: Infact from member Relations I expect a detailed reply to every point I raise.

Right to be informed::
1. Why do we have a vary in ASF every year ?
2. When a member tried booking, and it was not allowed, why do you guys breeda lapse of holiday policy ?

Right to choose ::
1. If Club Mahindra Changes the consumer seasons every year [ changing just weeks in middle to a higher season ] cornering the consumer to a higher season denying the consumer the right to choose, what conpensation is due on Clubmahindra against members who have fallen to the trap ?

Right to seek redressal ::
1. I am not happy with the product and the non-refundable policy of 84K and seek a redressal in this regards.

With the right of a Tax Paying Civilian Citizen of India may I ask ::
Do Club Mahindra reserve the rights to coverup for Criminal offences by giving false/fake promises to the consumers - member of Club Mahindra ?
Do Club Mahindra reserve the right to do Offence against :: 354 A of the IPC against any member ?
and then Do Member Relations reserve the right to Coverup with false promise:: IPC 420 by Member Relations ?

Also Please confirm if the postal address of commute for ClubMahindra is ::

You can file a Criminal case with the sections referred and also file a dispute in consumer court.

Lets see if the law of the land favors consumers or the frauds.
