Country Holidays Inn & Suites — membership sold with false promises

Address:Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh

I was sold a membership at garden's galleria by one of their employee - prince.

I was told that they have tie-ups with hotels all around the world and in india and the hotels are hiltons, marriotts and other top hotel chains.

When i researched i found that this was a false claim. They hardly have tie-ups with the top hotel chains and certainly not for good tourist destinations. I tried booking a holiday to maldives and found that they have no property listing for maldives (I was specifically told they have it, at the time of selling the membership). I checked for other destinations which were displayed at the time of selling the membership, and found that it was all a lie.

I initiated a mail communication for termination of this membership but it has been denied.in response to my mails asking for termination of membership, the standard response was - make a booking with the options listed on the website. Strangely, making false commitments is not a valid reason for cancellation of membership. To my surprise, i was even told that the membership i had was applicable only for domestic travels, whereas at the time of selling the membership, i was told that it covers both national and international travel.

Chis is a fraud company that is selling membership to people, making false promises and commitments. They have tie-ups with limited set of hotels and these hotels can be booked using other third party service providers at far cheaper prices.

I have received 2 calls from Mr. Rahul from CHIS who claims to be Senior Customer Relations Manager.

While I have clearly stated that I want a cancellation of this membership, CHIS is adamant on not being able to cancel it. The only point they have is - you signed the agreement with us.

My points:
1. Your salesman at the time of selling the membership did not allow me to read the agreement and said that it contained all that was told by him. Had he told me that he was lying all through, rest assured, I would have read that and never signed the document. Besides, you had already swiped my credit card before presenting the agreement and considering how money centric you guys have sounded - I doubt you would have done anything had I raised an issue even then.
2. Mr. Rahul agreed that salesman do go overboard and exaggerate things at the time of selling. With all due respect - is this not what I have been saying all this while - that your salesman lied to me at the time of selling the membership. It might be fine from your side that your salesman lie extensively, but from a customer's perspective - this is cheating.
3. You want me to take your services and trust you on what you are saying now. Well, I trusted you at the time of purchasing the membership and have realised - you cannot be trusted.
4. While going through my bank statements, I realised that even the amount that was quoted by your salesman was wrong. I was told that the total amount including the membership and the EMI interest would come to INR 95000 (membership 85000 + interest 10000). However, the truth is the total cost is more than INR 102000 (membership 85000 + interest 17000+). Makes me wonder if there was any truth in anything that you said that day.

In all the conversations, you have said that I shouldn't have signed the agreement and that I made a mistake when I signed the documents. I agree to this - infact, the biggest mistake I did was to go to your office that day.

In both the calls Mr. Rahul is trying to force me to mark this complaint as resolved - why? I am not interested in availing your services, which were sold on basis of lies - and this complaint will be closed only when I get back my full refund.

P.S.: I finally received the welcome kit after raising this point over the above-mentioned call - in a swift time duration of 45 days. Great service!!
