Fraud Victim of Royal Holiday Club Fraudulent Practices
Fraud Victim of Royal Holiday Club Fraudulent Practices.
Definition of Fraud: wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
October 19, 2004, My ex fiancé and I were on a vacation in Aruba and a woman came up to us and asked
us if we could help her out and come inside to talk with her boss about vacations. When we said "No"
she begged us and said her job depended on it. So we relented and went to see her boss.
Then, we were asked to have a seat and the guy introduced himself to the two of us.
We exchanged pleasantries and that was when he started with his presentation.
The guy told us if we plan on going on more vacations in the future and
how much they would cost and that by purchasing a vacation package that was
based on points rather than buying a week that we could go any time of year.
My ex and I already had a timeshare mortgage with Flagship we were paying and told the
sales person that we really could not afford another large purchase at this time. And we
thanked him, but he kept talking and said that he was not supposed to do this but he crossed out
a bunch of figures and said we can give it
to us at "this said price". I remember looking at my ex shaking my head "no".
My ex told him that this was not the time and that we really could not
afford another expense. He verbally told us to stop paying on the other timeshare.
That people do it all the time. But he kept telling us it will be a huge tax write
off, that it was an investment, and that we could rent or sell our membership at any time.
Told us the value would increase in time and we could sell it for three times as much of
what we purchased. He said that the years that we don't go on vacation there are many people
who would jump at the change to use our points. Then my ex told him that we needed to talk it
over and that we would come back and he told us that if we left he might not be able to
guarantee this price since there were only a certain amount of people they could
offer this "special price" to. We felt very much under pressure. Then, the sales
rep told us about a "small" maintenance
fee that we would have to pay every year but it was fixed amount and it would never increase.
But told us to think about what we would be getting in return. We both were hesitate but he then
told us if someone else were to come after we leave they would get the "special" price.
So as you know we ended up with this Royal Club Membership that has NEVER EVER pan out to
what we were promised. We have never been on a vacation with Royal Holiday. After we paid
the mortgage off we plus the yearly maintance fees we could not afford to go on a vacation.
So we tried to do what the representive told us. We tried to sell it! We tried to rent it!
We tried to donate it! We could not even give it away and I lost money to scammers saying
they could sell it for me. I have filed complaints with the BBB,
the Financial Protection Consumer Bureau, and the AG of Maryland and Royal Holiday
continues to refuse to pay me back all my money. I will not except any deal unless they
pay me every cent they owe me since 2004 or release me from the fraudulant misrepresentation
of the contract. The Quality Supervisor John Forseca is a bully and keeps calling and giving me the
same options to pay them which I told them I can no longer afford and will no longer be their victum.
I have been finanacially voliated by Royal Holiday. I have paid them $15,925 and I would like
my money back. I know they are so dishonest that I will not get any of my money back but that is the type
company they are.
Reason of review: FRAUD.
Monetary Loss: $15925.
Preferred solution: Full refund.
Royal Holiday Club Pros: For them to go out of business, For them to give my all my money back, For them to stop harassing me, For them to stop threatening me, For them to go away.
Royal Holiday Club Cons: Fact they are a scam, Are a fraudulent company, That they are dishonest, That refuse to pay my money back, Fact they are bullies.
