Not meeting commitments!
Complaint Rating:  92 % with 77 votes
I upgraded my membership to their SuperCool membership with the commitments from them on the following:

1) They would give me free land
2) F&B vouchers worth Rs.10,000/-
3) 3Days stay in Kovalam
4) 5 days of room stay free in their clubs
5) fifteen years of free usage of Bandhipur club.

I have not used the 3rd point so I do not know what is in store for me there, also to get the letter for their commitment I had to call them many many times and finally had to go to VP level. For the Bandhhipur resort booking, they asked me to mail, but till now I did not even get an acknowledgment on the same.

The free land allotment letter has still not reached and I don't know if I will ever get it. For the F&B vouchers also I am calling them still and there is absolutely no proper answer from them. 5 days of stay is interesting, when we tried booking through that offer they would say rooms are full. But when I called the club directly and say I am willing to pay for the room, you will find the rooms available.

Very importantly the Mktg guy who would give you all the commitments will not even care to pick your call after he has taken the money from you.

I wish the company takes care of its customer, I really feel cheated.

Yes, all of these is true, I became a member in Dec 2006, for the Super cool and paid 1,15,000, frantically looked out for the allotment of the site of , Like everyone else I have also contacted many many representatives of Country club, decided to go to the International consumer protection cell which is an NGO organisation in Mumbai (websit is icrpc) they helped me, I got my money back, Kudos, I will never go to any orgaisation with the name Country club now. They are not worth to do business, they will run away with your money, very easy know...

I have also faced the same problem, i also hold a cool card from country club, even after 2 years i still have not got my land that was promised when taking the membership.

The Club actually sucks, there are no facilities in the Club...
all the Sports material are broken and scrap material.

Every time i call them for the Land allotment they only blame the govt for causing problems in registration. I have lost the money i paid, i will never ever suggest any one to opt for this Club.

Country Club only cheats and it Sucks...

I have also fallen victim to the company false selling. I paid by credit card and then my son rang me up while with the company executives that he had visited this site and the company is a rip off. I told the company executives to reverse my payments but they lied to me that it has been done.
When i checked with the bank they told no such request for reversal has been made. Now the problem is to force the company to refund the money back. I am pursuing the matter and hope for the best.

The modus operandi was very unique the raffle was drawn from the movie ticket. They had promised to give a week stay at 5-7 star hotels in any one Bali, Sri lanka, Goa and Kerala, also a day for a family of 4 at Suraj kund and a kitchen item. Unsuspectingly we went to collect the voucher they gave a presentation with a very rosy picture and told us that the payment has to be done immediately to avail the free plot in Banglore. We got tempted and i went home to get the credit card and came back to make the payment. My son suspected some hanky panky and checked on google and went through this site and rang me up, but by that time my card had already been swiped.
I do not know whether I would have got what they had promised or not but since i had changed my mind they should have immediately reversed my payment as a good genuine company. Another fraud they did was that they asked me to sign the credit card slip so that the reversal could take place. Which as the bank was not required to be done.

Hello Guys -- Thanks much. Glad that I've gone through all your reviews. I actually thought of going for it tomorrow, and I just would like to see through internet if any reviews available. Good to see this forum. I'll NOT go for it then.

Hi All,

Even the same problem is continued with me as well, they were behind me to collect the payments when i made the payment that sales guy never turned up, he is not even bothered to pick up my call and speak... Country Club is just like any other cheating company.. I am totally disappointed with the behaviour of the country club staff...

Its ridiculous for anyone to believe what country club says. How can u ever get a land so cheap in Bangaore-. Infact its not even in bangalore, its in AP in some village. When i asked can I see the land and then pay, they were not able to ., Hence I suspected this company is a fraudster and the owner has many cases pending at court. So please be careful guys. Dont loose your hard earned money

I'm also stuck very badly into this. Country Club sent a guy and told me about all this. He promised same two plots near bangalore. The guy immediately took the impression of my credit card and convinced me that he'll never bill it until my final confirmation.

In evening I receive a call from his manager telling me 1000 stories. I asked him not to bill it... I'm told that the transaction is already over. I tried to block my credit card, but Barclays... WOW.

All right, I convince myself that as I am already in middle of trouble as I've just lost my job, I think of keeping it further so that I can transfer it later on to someone else.

But now whenever I try to call the Sales Executive, he will always say: Sir, (I'm Shopping/I'm out of Bangalore/I'm travelling...), I'll just call u... and the call never comes.

These guys are "C R O O K S"... If you want to stay away from troubles... keep away

Thank God we were saved,
The same offer as written in the complaint was given to us 2 hrs ago, We have Filled the (un)lucky coupon at Big Bazaar Pune, Two days after I recieved a call to attend 90 minutes presentation on friday at 308, 309connaught place.Bund garden Country Vacations.We reached there at 7:45 p.m they were trying to sell us the same plans as
a plot of land2000 sqft+30 yrs membership+holiday package but were insisting on the same day booking.
I was not ready for it until and unless I was satisfied with the promises they were making. They insisted us to search on net there itself but thanks to the article I read innewspaper Don't rely on the agencies that say today or never.I was saved.
Presentations are still on there if u could do something to save people from cheated please help them I have given u address

Hi Friends

I just spoken with a customer care executive, he said if we want to cancel membership we can cancel but money won't be refunded. Are we living in a civilised country or some cut throat land. They are not satisfying the existing customers and still going ahead with new packages.

The only solution is to join our hands and fight as a team. We should force government to take a hard decision against these cheats.

Hi

Also please advise your known people not to swipe the credit cards for any reason. I was unfortunate, I was not aware of this fraud they swiped the credit card on the same day. Regards..

I too had membership and I too faced the same problems, you all are reporting. I spent many sleepless nights when I realised that I was cheated. With great difficulty I was able to get my money back.
Is it possible like all of the members in the above list Unite and then fight. I think it will really give some strength.

Guys...I too have faced the problem mentioned in above all complaints...

I too a CCI membership dont remember the membership card exactly...The problem was the way marketing guy tries to convey you...He told me that I would getting a plot in Tumkur and all stuff...I even asked him, if its we would be getting without paying any amount for which he said yes...He even told "No anual charges...bla bla bla..."

In another 10-15 days started getting calls about paying anual charges and all such stuff...

Now when l want to cancel the membership(regarding this I have been trying for the past 1-1.5yrs)...they say Rs.5K-6K will be didatucted...

At any cost I want to remove it off...if anyone is willing to buy pls do email me at srini847@gmail.com

-Srini.
