Not meeting commitments!
Complaint Rating:  93 % with 55 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.

I have similar experience. MKTG guys simply disappear after taking the money. They will not pick the phones if you call from your mobile.

Very Bad company to put money in.

For cool club membership god only knows when they allot land. If you get any, do mail me. After my bad experiences with their mktg people and even their mktg managers & "customer service" manager I searched web and found the ir MD has cheating cases pending against him. Not very good people to associate with. Also difficult to get back your money. You have to find a scapegoat and transfer your membership they will only promise but they will never transfer. This is my personal experience. Never suggest to people known to you.

I am the vrey same experience with them. These guys are quick to promise and get a membership out of you. Once you make the payment you never get any of the things they promised.

I still havent received the allotment for referring two people nor was I able to get any of the stays at the resorts. HEck I havent even received my membership card. Everytime I call I am asked to send the photograph in a courier. Despite sending the photo several times I still havent got the card. But I get regular calls to upgrade the membership and now to pay some "annual maintenance" charge or something. When I repeat my grievance to them they are quick to promise that "Send the photo this time and we will definitely send you the card".

This is a pathetic group and people should get together and file a case against them. Do mail every possible acquaintance you have and tell them to stay away from falling into the trap. No point in wasting ur hard earned money with these crooks.

Does anyone here has political clout? This is no small matter... We should get help from karnataka government, whoever is in power.

Country Club calls me everyday asking for some stranger. I tell them it's not the right number. Then, I need to listen to some snide remark when I ask them to delete this number.

I have warned them enough. None of their phone numbers work. They have no e-mail ID's!! I am therefore forced to go to the consumer court...

Am yet to get any confirmation about land allotment till date. Have signed for the Supe cool membership almost couple of days ago and no response from your end till date. Prior signing to the membership, i was getting so many calls from Amit (Sales Manager) and once i signed and got in to the trap, that's the end of the road. There was no response from them and i have been calling him "n" number of time and he will say he is busy in a meeting and return call later, but it never happened!!!

Have signed in to Super cool member ship on 14/07/07 and till date, have got the temporary membership card only. No details about when will the land allotment and registration will happen. Prior joining, i was literally chased by Amit (Sales Manager) and once i signed and got in to the trap. That's the end of the road and absolutely no response from him. Whenever call, he will say that, he is driving or busy in a meeting , will revert call. But it has never happened, not even once. So many promises were given before signing, but the progress shows that, they only talk and nothing in action!!!

Hi friends,

Country Club have cheated me also. I have already sent a notice from CONSUMER COURT, they said that they have thrown this notice to dust bin.

I paid RS.2,49,900/- in one shot in January, 2007 almost two years back for super cool membership. They promised me 1078 sq ft free plot in Bangalore, free trip to Colombo ( fully expenses paid ). They even collected Rs.20,000/- for Registration fee of the plot they are going to offer me in November, 2007. Till know they have not given me land.

When i visited Amrutha Estates of Country Club to question this they ill treated me and they even did not tell me have a seat. I have paid Rs.2,70,000/- and they treat customer like this. On questioning them they say that Andhra Chief Minister is very close to Rajeev Reddy, and they asked me to do whatever i wish. They challenged that nothing will happen to their club. My Marketing Executive MR. KRISHNA SINGH (whose MOBILE NUMBER is 9845186117) never receives his incoming calls. He says that he has been awarded two motor bikes for his best achievement as marketing manager. God only knows that how many Customers has been fooled by him.

I am going to complain to Police & media. I have already informed this to TV9 and will take action shortly.

I really rename this club as KANTRI CLUB.

Regards,

B VENKATESH

Same here!! I too have faced these problems when I enrolled with CCI couple of years ago. Before selling the membership the marketing guys were behind me calling almost 10 times a day. But as soon as I paid him the sales executive disappeared. For months I did not receive any card or call from them. Even after following up with their office personally it took an year for me to get the cards. They made false promises regarding the Bandipur Trip and I could not get a slot ever. Interesting part is that I heard the same thing from most of my friends who opted for it.

Moreover, they have kept big dazzling posters of country clubs at several places in their advertisement but if you vist any of these clubs in Bangalore you get almost a deserted look. Some of these clubs are getting renovated for years and nothing has happened so far. It does not look like a place where you go and feel great or relaxed. The restaurants are bad, staff is not up to mark, they can't communicate properly. I felt cheated at the end of day and have never visited the club thereafter.

These days they have again started hovering for upgradation and annual maintainance charges. Most of whom I know have had the membership have stopped paying maintainance charges as there is no development happening across. These people pay filmstars for publicity and make fool out of innocent public.

Hi,
I am one more guy cheated by Country(Kantri) club. Not only me who has paid Rs115000 for 2plots and membership, I stupidly convinced my father-in-law also to invest the money in that. I faced all the problems mentioned by all above. I am currently at US and am not able to invest my time in chasing them.After reading your complaints I feel even I had been in Bangalore, I could not have done much.

I would like to know what is the solution for the same. What is the coarse of action you guys planning. Is there any political pressure which we can bring on them? Will consumer court be able to help us.

Please help us.

Hi

Even i was cheated at the forum branch .

They called me and said that you have won the surprise people from the lucky draw that happened at vishal.

i have paid 1,20,000 Rs in first down payment through credit cards.

During the session they said that it would be a EMI for 24 months in certain credit cards and 36 months in certain type of credit cards.

One plot for 10 years.
Two plots of (1089 SQ FT) will be given for 30 years
Four plots for International tourism


This is how the cheating works. All the explanation they give it will be in 25 paise third grade paper(No company pad paper).

For taking the payment hey will not give any bills they will tell that will be the credit card customer copy would be the proof.

And the same day the transaction is finalized (there term) not credit cart transaction finalization.

once you have submitted the card for billing and once you have signed on the merchant copy they will tell you that 8 EMi would be withdrawn as advance.

So you have to pay a huge amount in the next billing cycle of your card if you decide to withdraw the plan they will not
agree and say that the transaction is already completed and it can not be cancelled. (this is absolutely false).

The merchant copy should be submitted to the bank so that they can reclaim the amount that would take 2 to 3 days. So within this duration any payment that you made can be canceled by the merchant.But the sales person would not agreed and will say that it is immediately the transaction is completed.

They will give you lot of false promises. You wont even get the member card and there is no guarantee for the amount paid and you will not even get the broucher.

If you contact the credit card company to block the transaction they would say that merchant should initiate the cancellation and country vacation would not initiate the transaction.

Dear All,

As many have faced bitter experiences with country Club, I have also faced one. It all started with a cool phone call from one of the Marketing executive from Country Club after few days of our visit to one of the exhibitions in Chennai Trade Centre. They called for a meeting in their Guindy office. so both my husband and myself went. They treated us like a king and queen. They wanted us to take the club membership. Initially we were not interested subsequently we agreed after the following promises made to us:

1. Our children can utilize the game area in their Guindy centre and if required they also arrange for a tutor.
2. I can use the gym regularly on a particular time which is alloted for ladies.
3. Hall can be utilized for any function at a concession rate.

Both my husband and myself made them very clear that if point 1 is effective, then we are ready to join. Since we are put up at Ramapuram, we thought we can put our son in any of the classes viz., chess, caromboard, table tennis, etc.

But after a week of joining, when we went to Guindy we were shocked to be informed that all games for children are only at RA Puram.

Imagine the distance between Ramapuram and RA Puram. It is quite a long distance. Of course I have not visited RA Puram till now. God only knows what they have in RA Puram.

Till now I have not utilized the Club for the Rs.25000/= which i paid in full for membership.

If any body is interested, please contact me for the transfer of membership. The club at Guindy has good place for boozing.

A. Gowri.

Its better to give the money to some charity organization than to pay to this stupid company. I bought the membership by paying 1,15000 and after almost an year I haven't heard anything from them about the site and I ended up wasting couple of hundred rupees to call all the different number available, requesting them to provide me what was promised. I should have seen this before I bought it but the marketing guy was so smart that he never gave me a chance to do any research on this company.

Country Club managers are the number one cheaters that I have ever seen or heard or faced. Their Manager Krishna Singh was block listed in many of the top companies in INDIA like Infosys, Wipro and TCS. Better do not go for country club membership.

The above said information is very much true. Unfortunately, I am also one of the people who has fallen into the trap of the Country Club. They don't keep any promises, once they have got the money, that is it, they are not to be seen any where else. Anybody can hardly reach them. The agent are really hopeless and don't respond at all. Until they want our HARD EARNED money, they will be behind us, once they have got the same, that is it, no news about the same. I was contacted by one of the agent, Harikrishnan S (9845318490). He took away the money and kept complete false promises. Later on, when trying to reach him, there has been no response at all. I later managed to get the information of his boss, Sridharan (9880820620), one of another hopeless group of people working there at Country Club. He doesn't even have the least courtesy of speaking to a customer, and talks as if he is doing a favor on me and speaks completely 100% nonsense. One of worst people I have ever seen and this has really taken me into a ride.

REALLY ADVICE PEOPLE NEVER EVER THINK OF INVESTING IN COUNTRY CLUB.

Have a look at their website, no you won't get it, it says you are not authorized to view the site, this is the way they are building trust with the people.
