I got to know that Awana Vacation Club is also terminating their timeshare scheme. Sunway timeshare already terminated. Time sharing don't work in current time not to mention whether there is MCO, CMCO or EMCO. Ipoh Heritage hotel has been taken down and change to Travelodge. Any news of what our Trustee will do about the situation?

i have been as HGVC member since 2001, only been enjoyed the benefit 1xHeritage hotel Ipoh, 1x Heritage Cameron Highland, 1x melaka hotel and 1 time deposited to RCI. Experienced the same as all of you, was informed fully booked for the date that request, no reply of email for booking, Even worst when request to deposit the entitlement holiday week to RCI, was informed to queue for 1 year since may 2015 and called HGVC in May 2016 was told the PIC -Azhan resigned & was informed that no record shown that i had submitted the requisition for RCI, then asked to re-fax the Form.
After 2 weeks called to follow up, was told the new PIC is not in. 1 month later called, the PIC RCI is on leave. Several times call after that in subsequent months, always could not get in touch with PIC with lousy reasons that on leave, meeting with the boss, MC etc. RCI membership fee really expensive, we have to pay in S$, some more our currency getting weaken.
Obviously HGVC is facing problems! Please if someone can share the experience of log report to TTPM, does it effectively worked?

I paid for 3 years annual fee last 2 months. they promised to manage bookings for me.. asked for email add to email me the booking form. But till today, more than a month they email nothing. I called a few times... they said pls gv email add. I kept on repeated the same phrase every time. What a big deal just to email the form to me. Are they trying to avoid me fr making any booking.? is that the reasons they delay the mailing?...
" Bila time minta payment, sweet talk!. When its time to give their service - they delayed it.

Really not satisfied.

I applied for CAMERON HIGHLAND (Hertiage home Hotel) in March, I have to call them many times.They will answer, we are waiting for the reply from Hotel. Mar, Apr, May & Jun still waiting for reply. They are cheating on our money.Whats say we all gather and make a whatsapp group and them call for a gathering to discuss what action to take up against HGVC.If possible a lawyer.There must be a lawyer in our member list.
Pls advice.

we can no longer file a case about HGVC to TTPM anymore. Just went there that day and they say they can't do anything about HGVC because it's against the contract agreement and TTPM cant do anything about it unless we get our own lawyers and fight against them. Anybody have other solutions on where to complain about their bad service?

Now, even wanting to deposit our entitlement into RCI's spacebank take a long time and the reason given is "Have to Queue". I sent in a request in April'16 and am still waiting. Now, they do not even have any hotel in Malacca and PD. I think HGVC owe lots of monies to other timeshare operators and is now having difficulties to deposit our entitlement to other operator's spacebank. Previously, no such problem and quire fast.

I have been a member with HGVC since 2001. Only managed to get Hotel rooms in Langkawi, Ipoh and Cameron Highland previously. the last i remember was 2012. I wasted many years' entitlement due to room always NOT available when we tried to book. I transferred my entitlement nights to RCI 3 times since 2002 and managed to use it once. for Goldcoast Australia. 2 times 7 nights wasted. The membership fees in RCI is costly. Yearly renewal is SGD100. I share the same proble with most members of HGVC. Always cannot get room. Whenever, we tried to make booking yearly, they will ask us to pay up our maintenance fees. If not, they cannot entertain our booking. Service is lousy.. Phone calls always unanswered and email to them, no respond. Can someone create a chat group on Facebook so that all aggrieved members can network

We hv given them 1 mth of choices of date ( 9 April 2016 Check in and 10 April 2016 Check out, 16 April 2016 Check in and 17 April 2016 Check out, , 23 April 2016 Check in and 24 April 2016 Check out) to book a room and after 3 weeks they feedback as no room available. And yet asking us to give alternate date. Go to hell, wasting our time.

Can we all create a communication group in e.g. facebook or whatsapp etc so that all members can communicate on action will be taken and update on the issue? I got call someone from timeshare consultant that they have client from oversea who interested to purchase my timeshare with HGVC. Anyone has experiencing this? Is it true.

I think the last time I pay maintenance fee was in 2009 or something. No track record. 2009 is also the final year I use my entitlement. After that everything so silence. Do you think we can file a complain at TTPM to terminate our membership and get back our money?

Also, just received call from the Collections Department for maintenance fee. Of course I was being sarcastic; sharing my irritation that HGVC is very "customer friendly & efficient" when it comes to collecting their maintenance; no such efficiency or friendliness when it comes to booking of (pathetic list of) resorts; those we have to book 4 or 6 months in advance ? She has the nerve to raise her voice when I complain that their customer service is minimal; no reminder to customers about expiring entitlements. All they need to do (if they really care about us optimizing our entitlements) is simply do a check once in 1 to 3 months and send out reminder email. How difficult is that. It's their job as the service provider whom we pay. Pity the workers ...but pity us members more.

Baru sahaja terima call dari lady from HIGVC. Asking to pay maintenance fee. Dia cakap end last year HIGVC dah OK. My opinion, pay the maintenance then try booking rooms. Kalau masih tak dapat, lapor kepada TTPM(Tribunal Pengguna). Kawan saya, dia claim dengan tribunal, dia dah dapat bayaran.

Just receive a call from the HGVC, a lady calling to ask to pay for maintenance, threaten that if we do not pay for the maintenance fee, they will terminate my membership. We told her we have filed many complaints about our problems, and we do not receive any feedback from them, then she cut the call. Really ridiculous service form this club.

I am Wayne from Ipoh, recently I received the Arrears Notice from HGVC, the only thing HGVC they matter to do is ask Members to PAY, PAY and PAY, instead of improving their services. I am thinking what for to pay and not getting the services that we expect to receive as a member. I am wondering wheather HGVC is still a legitimate club in Malaysia, having seen so many complaints posted here.

Fully agree that Heritage Grand Vacation Club's service is horrible. There is always
disappointment when booking resorts. The number of vacation resorts has shrunk by so much.

Popular places like PD, Penang and Malacca are already out of the list.
No newsletter for years. Not even notice for annual meeting. Where is our
right?

Hi all,

I am very happy to find your complaints, because I have been emailling HGVC for the past 3 to 5 years and no replies. As I am now living overseas, I find it difficult to contact them. Called, like you guys said no one pick up calls. Very frustrating when no one is taking up responsibility to look after members of the club. As I am living overseas, I do not know how to contact the TTPM. Do they have an email address? When is the next AGM? Wong

So mr.Kelvin Yam what's your opinion on this time sharing programme? are you still stay put to wait for the cow comes home? in business we must also take into consideration of the investment risk -as a HGVC member we would like to have the best reward from the resort as what it was promised in the beginning (as stated in the agreement) but it turned out otherwise.

I just cant accept that for many time i sent my request through email but no reply when call the office its hell ...
So what can we do now before to go to TTPM..

How come there is no AJM news...N do HGVC still legitimate under ROS?

some one please advice us.Thank You
