Hi, I am Shreya Joshi and have registered at highland holiday homes Pune in Nov 09 and have lost 67000 till now. I too feel like completely fooled and cheated by this company. The service manager Khusboo at their Pune office has been extremely rude and non-responsive to many of our questions. They are now refusing to cancel and refund my money back. Please let me know a way to get my money back. Please contact me on joshi.[protected]@gmail.com Was this information helpful? | |

Hi,
We are also BIGGEST victims of this fraud that has duped me for 25K inApril' 2010. We have also gone through same process like asking three questions then declaring as winner and asked us to visit their office along with my wife and explained about their packages for 1 hour by some trained MBA students. Then we took the membership for 5 years and they have asked us to pay through credit cards then convert the same amount into EMIs we will refund the interest charged by the bank .
We did the same and produced the Credit card statements after converting the so called amount to EMIs to this fraud company. Then the really story get begun. They started arguing that they would refund only 7% of the total amount. I had to fight, abuse and threaten for amost a month month and
finally after that I received the Cheque.
The Sales rep also informed me that in case I want to go out on a holiday and if I call in for a booking 15 days before my journey date I shall get a confirmed booking, which is not at all true. I had to travel to Lonavala and Mahabaleshwar on 28th may and 1st june respectively, I called them and asked to do the bookings for the same. The reply i received was all the bookings are full.
The sales rep told me that over and above the membership charges I had to pay some utitity charges to which I asked her "What if I do not use the utilities? Will I still have to pay the charges?" she said no... Later When I tried booking the resort I was informed that thos were manditory charges. So I asked what are the Utility charges... she informed me that for Domestic its Rs 500 per day for 4 persons in thier own resorts and Rs. 650 in affiliated resorts... again this proved to be false information as the lonavala resort which is their own... I was informed that I had to pay Rs 1000 as utilty charges per day and in Mahabaleshwar I had o pay Rs 3000 per day.Hence I did not utlise their services.
This is the first company I have seen where the Head office does not have any information about their branch offices but the branch offices have all the information about all the other branch offices... And is the also great to hear that Highland Holiday Homes was barred from doing any business by Sebi for 5 years beacuase of a fraud.

I am trying to cancel the membership but as per their dirty terms & conditions it’s not been cancelled. Guys why dont we come together and file a case againt Highland Holidays in the Consumer court.

I am also a victim of highland holiday resorts. There are many threads on which we have heard about all teh false promises. I came to know of one more- they told me and I am sure to all of you, that if you give in writing that you want to rent your holidays then you can do after a year and HHH will pay you market rent (around 2000 Rs. each day). However, this is also untrue.I think we should get together and seek relief. I think we can file cases in consumer courts locally (there may be jurisdiction issues). So people from a city can together and file the case, share expenses and take turns for hearing. It is very important to unite and expose them.
