Hi all

A red alert for all.

I have been receiving call from someone and claimed that they are from some association that can help me claim back all my money and ask me to go down to do the procedure. I try to ask for their biz registration no and they refused. I check the address they give me and it is different from the name they mentioned. So be careful everyone, there is no such company that can help to claim for you.

Pretty annoyed to see people say want to get off the hook for a contracted purchase. It like you buy a toothpaste, kept it in the storeroom until it expired and say you want a refund because the toothpaste expired

IRN/ATC has called me today. They previously called to arrange a meeting claiming I could sign a document to terminate my membership and they would resell the membership and refund me whatever I paid plus any profit earned to be split 60/40 and I did not have to pay them anything when I sign this agreement. I didn't go.
So when they called today, I told them that I will not busy and not interested to go down. She says tht I will need to pay up whatever I owed. I do not have anything of what I signed last time. How? Go or just ignore?
Adric 96943441. Help!

Well, do the only thing you can do. Ignore and Wait. If they want you to pay, they do need to issue you an official invoice or letter of demand too.

Just received a letter from ERI, notifying members not to trust firms claiming to be able to refund or turn the membership into profit. They even sent a copy of the Khoo & Krishnan agreement. ERI also claimed to have reported to CAD and CASE on these firms, and will take official legal action against them.

Yes, I didn't cancel. Plus I recently got them to book air tix and hotel for me, not cheaper but it is without the holiday premium other tour agencies are asking for.

The contract that was sign is legitimate, which as a buyer, i have to honor the contract.

Have taken a hiatus from this forum for a few years and I am just absolutely shocked that these timeshare companies are still at it after such a long time! This thread should have closed down long ago and the perpetrators arrested by the police for causing such a nightmare to so many people!

I just replied PM to 2 people who sought help from me in this area a long time ago. To these 2 people: I'm so sorry for the late reply and I pray that things have straightened out for you and yr friends / loved ones.

To the rest of you who are sucked into this, pls do not carry on with your payment.

I am speaking from personal experience. I did manage to find a way to terminate my contract. My situation may be different from u, or maybe the timeshare companies have found a way to pressurise / threaten / sue / emotionally blackmail u into submission and payment.

BUT. IMHO, if u r really determined to terminate contract due to financial concerns or u think the package is not value for money, it is still possible to find an escape route.

I signed up the package with CHE in May 2012 with a deposit of 1k as they insisted the minimum amount have to be a thousand. I didn't noticed any or did not managed to find out that CHE is actually a timeshare company (In fact I don't even know what is a timeshare company) and it only highlighted to me in Aug last year that they have shifted to Anson Rd. I quickly emailed to them but no respond and I thought I would just forgo my deposit and that's it...

but recently they send a letter to warn me that they would be taking legal action against me if I don't pay up the full amount as a penalty because I did not pay up the 2nd down payment.

Reported to CASE and they told me to send them a notice of cancellation to cancel officially. So i sent an official letter for notice of termination but now there is this group of debt collector calling me to say they have been engaged to collect the money or they will sue me to court.

Anyway I went to meet up with the debt collector and he promised he can request for termination of contract with nobody harnessing my family if I agreed to pay CHE halve of the outstanding payment which is about 5k. Not willing to give in but they just emphasized that I'd definitely lose the court case since I signed on the contract no matter. Feeling threatened and lost...can anyone advice what I should do?

I get the idea that you want to cancel without paying. I am saying they are right about the high chance of losing, but still there are the legal fees involved in a court case. U might want to look at that cost too and do a proper evaluation of your next actions.

So meaning to say that I still have to compensate them despite not being a member yet as the contract mentioned that they only activate the membership after having paid 50% or more of the fee. In addition, I cannot terminate the contract if they do not accept? I have to pay a full amount if I did not fulfill the contract whereas they are able to lose the trust of the consumers by 1. transaction made is to another company instead of CHE 2. not answering the call 3. no reply to the email 4. not stating the phone no. after moving out. Geesh...

IMHO point 2, 3, 4 it is a customer handling issue, they have bad customer servicing attitude. However in point 1, at the point of your signed contract, they could been distributors for the other company, but business could have changed. Now if you have proof that they are not providing their said functions in the contract, you have a case. This is a double edged sword, if CHE could show proof, then you are in trouble.

I am not familiar with the elements of claiming legal fees when you win a case. You do have to fork up money first to hire a lawyer for the case. It is important to consider all your options carefully before your next action.

Do not give them another cent.

Seek free legal advise from the lawyers in Singapore Free Legal Clinics - All. Hear their opinion. Basically CHE is no longer in operation and they did not provide any of their mentioned service. They did not honor the deal in the first place intending to secretly close business 2 months after they sell you a 10 year membership???? I and some other victims have blocked the strike off through ACRA application back then(spend $10 I think) Make police report and request CAD interview. I have complained they are running a scam and I am a fraud victim. I will support you. Do not give them another cent. There is CASE for consumer but they are totally useless when dealing with CHE(Waste of my time and effort. Even lied they never hear complain about CHE when I first check with them) Finally do not give up.
