A friends of mine asked me to post their story. Approximately 2.5 years ago they purchased a Vacations packaged from Destiny Vacations in Houston, Texas for several thousand dollars. It included air travel, cruises, Time Share Condo Resorts and other amenities associated with travel. Below is their brief story:
My wife and I purchased a travel package from Destiny Vacations 2 years ago. From the start we wanted to back out which we were told we could d in he first few days but we couldn't get a hold of anyone to cancel. Tonight, I received a phone call from a Marci Rivera who said she was representing Resort One. Destiny Vacations sold the Resort One contracts but did not forward the money to Resort One and Resort One found out that in Houston that they did not provide the Houston people training, so no one used the package. However, Destiny failed to tell the Houston members that the mall print was a 99 year contract signed with Resort One that has yearly dues Destiny Vacations is no longer in business filing Chapter 13, so you cannot get your money back. However, no action on the members part would be considered a breach of contract, which could cause you legal ramifications and at least ruin your credit. The person who called stated her name was Marci Rivera. she would like to meet at the Embasy Suites at the Galleria 2911 Sage Road this Saturday at 4pm. Phone Number 832-533-6114. I don't have a complaint - I think this should be posted as a Warning. This company is known as Resort One or Resort One International

Well Mark Sounds Like you limited your exposure. Destiny Vacations was a business front in Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth - many people lost $9,000. The charge your credit card to get the fast payment all at once. I was luckier than nor putting out $9,000 but I think think you did a better job at limiting yourself. I knew better at the time but I am not sure why I ended up joining.
Similar experience. This Marci Rivera character is something else... asks questions on the phone but then wouldn't let me answer. As I bought only a trial package, I had no annual maintence fee, but she didn't like that answer. Big on intimidaion tactics, she hung up after saying "just wait and see what happens over the next 2 or 3 weeks" implying that I was in some type of legal trouble. Stay far, far away from her, from Destiny Vacations, and from Resort One. If others want to pool our resources for legal help, if it comes to that, you can contact me at RobisonMD@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteWhen we look for international Vacation Resort, it becomes difficult to finalize as all claims for best service and once when sold they don't care any more. So please be careful, research as much as you can before booking any thing.
