In reply to: Raptor 's message, "Timeshare Refunded!" on Wed, Mar 17 2004, 11:00:31

Hi,
I purchased an odd-year IRN/ATC Timeshare plan and paid up in full in 2001. I bought it after 3 long hrs of high sales pressure and persuasion that I would be buying quality accomodation at today's prices, and that there are HUGE COST-SAVINGS.. The maintenance amount was actually stated in black & white. Little did i suspect that the Maintenance fees could go up. ..

ATC manager spoke to us today. He warned that the timeshare owners are all changing to 'destination' packages. He said ATC Timeshare owners dropped from 7400 to about 400 TS owners, through changing to 'destination'packages. He stressed that Maintenance fees will go very high (he mentioned MTC maintenance has doubled!!).. He 'offered' a suggestion saying that we could pay $12k to change our plan to 'destination', so that we can enjoy 'greater savings'.

Given this situation, the remaining timeshare owners are likely to be SHORTCHANGED into paying HIGHER maintenance fees!!

Pls advise me on the course of action. I would really like to ask for Refund, and to terminate this agreement. I really cannot trust this company to provide the dream travel I thought i had purchased.

Pls email me. Thanks a lot!!

Hi,
I also bought an odd-yr IRN/ATC timeshare plan in 2001 and completed the installments in Dec 03.
Yesterday, i went to ATC to meet up with an asst. manager regarding this "destination" thingy. Apparently, he told me that timeshares are phasing out in Europe and we in Singapore are also following the change to "destination". At first, he quoted 13k, but i'm obviously not very happy and he quoted a special 2-wks package costing another 5k+. I requested time to think and he told me that my file has to be submitted to Thailand before he knock of at 5pm and 8-Aug-04 is the last day to take up this offer.......so there's no time to consider. Anyway, we did not sign up for this "destination" thingy and i'm also thinking of how to get some justice done........

My case is similar to u. My one is even year (red), cost me SGD 9,000, and have completed the installments in Feb 04.I just met with ATC and listened the disadvantage points of our old version timeshare program as well as want me to fork out another SGD 9,000. Again, want me to take up this offer immediately. I rejected, of course. I believe that there will be at least some justice in Singapore. Any legal action u have took against those conman? Could u pls update me on the progress of it? We might need to gather a protest pool to voice out and to increase our pressure to those sucker.

To Sze Ho, Edmund and Tan

Yes I been through the same process. I believed they lied that they had sent letters out to inform existing members of this change in plan only to tell you one day before the "expiry" date that they are making a special effort to meet us since we did not respond to their offer. I doubt they would meet members in a group.

As usual, they try to use all means to make people convert their plan. For me it means forking out extra SGD 5K. I just told them I am not signing anything and eventually walked off.

This is sheer madness at the brazen way they are continuing to con ppl to part with their hard earned money.

You have been duped! You have purchased something which is of little or no value in terms of resale. You know there are others who have paid much lesser for the same membership you purchased? My advice - Go to CASE and go to CCD, Police and report. Publicize your plight in the internet and expose these crooks! Warn your relatives and friends!
I am sorry. it is unlikely you can get a refund!

Hi George,

I signed up IRN/ATC about a year ago. Can I just stop paying my monthly installment and cancel everything? I don't mind forfeiting whatever I have paid. I just want to cancel this. Is there a way out?
