I recently got suckered into one of those "we'll give youa free Bahamas vacation" sales pitches and bought a $400 package that the company was promoting. The company is Sundance Travel in CT, and the parent company is Travel Advantage Network out od MD. Besides the fact that I haven't received the free Bahamas trip or the $400 in free travel vouchers I was promised, and that the "rist-calss resorts" are actually run-down motels, I'm hoping there are some areas in which they're legally wrong. They keep trying to tell me that I had 3 days to get a refund and that it's Connecticut state law (not true, as far as I can tell).
The contract clearly states at the top "This document is to be completed and signed by the traveler." However the salesperson completed the entire form (had to write yes/no next to a bunch of questions). In addition, there is a section where the salesperson is supposed to write the numbers of our travel vouchers--she did not do this, saying "I'll fill it in later." We were also hurried along in signing it--if I asked questions about things, she'd say "just sign it--we can do that later", etc.
I have other issues which I've taken to the BBB as well--I was told I could request any resort, but in reality I can only request a general area and must take whatever resort I'm assigned to (or lose my $90/request fee). But since they've told me "You can't get a refund--you signed the contract," I'm hoping the contract isn't valid. If not, what should I do? I really want my $400 back--it's a lot of money to me, but it's more principle at this point--I'm never going to use the membership. I can't hire a lawyer (that would cost more than the $400), so what should I do?
Thanks for your help.
