Me and my Wife we were called to be informed that we won a price because our MNT Cell number was selected as a winning number and we have won a price, that was on 10 June 2010 . We told that we have to collect thee price that evening at a game reserve in Roodeplaat Pretoria . When we arrived we were told that thee price will be given after thee presentation .They presented the travelling club package totaling to R49000 and the sales man said we have to pay R3500 before end of that night to secure thee special, then we will pay R500 for 96 months then we can travel around RSA ant the world . It was after 20h00 and we were asked to sign the contract to secure the deal the if we don't like it we can cancel it after 5 days . We phoned on thee 14the and no one answered thee phone . We went to their offices and we told that is too late to cancel thee contract . We decided not to pay thee instalment and on 17 January 2011 we made appointment withe management to cancel it but they still refused to do so . Now thee threatening us that we have to R50 000 or we must get someone to buy our packege

I am also one of you who has signed, instead of walking away. The contract states that you are liable for every cent and if you would pass away, they hold your children responsible. It's a nightmare for life. No way out.

We also signed a contract with them, never paid a cent because we wanted to cancel, but with no luck. There is never answer on the telephones, also the call centre. They now want to take us to court, and i am not prepared to pay for something that i never even used. Can someone give me advice? Thanks. Please mail me on afriboot@gmail.com

I also bought a package from MDC yes what a scam. I have been paying for four years and have not been able to get a proper holiday booked in the places that we are interrested in. I pay a R1700 a month which accumulate to R20 500 a year and this year I was lucky to get a place for the two of us at Crystal Springs.imagen paying R20 500 for 2 people at a self catering place for 7 days that's a rip off

How is it possible that you can be held ransom to something you have paid cash for whether you use it or not. I'm trying to get rid of these MDC points but will never recommend it to anyone unless they are a happy MDC customer!

ive paid my whole club points up and only now pay the mangement fees, like suckers were were we were conned into also signing up, after 3 years we havent been on a proper holiday and we were promised we should be able to go on more holidays, i have stopped my management fees as i don't want this and i want them to buy back their stupid points as they salesman Bryn said it was possible when he convinced us to sign, but now its not possible, all they want is for us to drive our petrol to Pretoria to discuss, and oh to hand us over to credit bureau because i stopped the debit order for the management fees until they can find us decent holidays on our time like they promised, every dec since having it has cost us our own money to accomodate us and sill we hav eto pay the management fees every year with a increase to do what, whoop whoop we have timeshare we cant use when we want it..

We are from Namibia - they have informed us that we have various places to stay in Namibia - yeah right - it is actually 2 and it is never open. - They are scammers and cheats - how do we get out of this fraudulent contract?

MDC brought me under wrong impression when they invited me to fetch my voucher. I have specifically asked them for a voucher in the Gauteng/North West area and NOT in the Cape Province. He said it will not be a problem. So, actually your people lied to me. I can't refer somebody to Multi Destinations Club if not the correct info is given to people. You can't expect from people in Gauteng to take a voucher for out of season in the Cape Province. I am really very disappointed and considered to go to the newspapers on the way people is misled. When I asked the guy who phoned me if this invitation is about buying points, he said no it is only to fetch the voucher; so again he lied.

The Quotation MDC gave me is really a rip off. Where in the world can you pay R101250 for 30 points!
