[Resolved]  Country Vacations Membership — Cheating By Country Club

Name: Syed Mohd Rafi
Address: Bangalore


Yet another tale of cheating by Country club.
(Nov 2009 to Jan 2010 and still suffering ). Please help me!

One day I got a call from country club saying that my name has been shortlisted in a lucky draw based on some coupon that I filled in some shopping mall in bangalore and I can come to collect my free holiday voucher and some gift.
My wife and I went there and somehow got through the irritating presentation and collected the vouchers without taking the membership as we didnt want to commit into something like this. We booked our holiday in country club goa using these vouchers as we were planning to go to goa for our anniversary but only after paying an upfront booking charge of Rs. 3000. (Still went ahead thinking atleast it will be a decent place to stay)
Once in goa we found the facilities quite ordinary and spend 4 days in the resort on Anjuna beach. On the day of the return, the sales team of the fraud club called us for feedback which later turned out to be a plot to sell their membership to us. Anyways, after refusing to take it a few times, the sales guy named Haneef told me about a 30 year membership at Rs 130000 + AMC @4000 / year. Along with this I would get a Samsung Digital Camera + 3 Years Moksh Membership (For me and My family) + 30 Spa Vouchers + 2 Days 3 Nights Free Holiday. We kept saying no as we had some other priorities rather than taking a membership like this. Then Mr.Haneef the cheater starts saying that I can pay this amount in 36 EMI's with 0% interest charged on my credit card. The EMI amount comes to Rs. 3611.11 / month. This was tempting, we could easily manage that much amount irrespective of other commitments so my wife and I fell in to the trap. Before signing the documents I told Haneef " THE ONLY REASON WE ARE TAKING THIS MEMBERSHIP IS COZ OF THIS EMI OPTION" just to reassure that therz no catch in this too.
Next month in my statement I see 12*3611 Adv EMI's + 3611 (13th EMI) charged on my card I was furious ( This is Rs 46944) charged upfront which leaves the rest of the amount to be paid in just 23 EMI's. I called up the customer care but in vain.
I feel cheated and on top of this its been 3 months and I have not recieved any of the things promised to me. I am sick and tired of calling them, blasting them and trying to get my things. Every time I just hear the kit will come next week. I dont know what to do now,
I have sent a mail to [protected]@countryvacationsmail.com asking to terminate my membership but all in vain, they didnt even respond to my email.
Please let me know if anybody knows how to terminate this membership and get my hard earned money back, I dont want to transfer/sell it coz I dont want anybody to suffer like me.

Hoping I will somehow make it out of the trap. Please help me!
