Regarding a recent holiday in Tenerife which was booked in October 2006 for my wife and I the holiday was booked through our local travel agent for 1 week in Tenerife .After arriving in Tenerife the second day we were there we were walking in Playa-da-las Americas and were approached by this guy on the street who gave us a scratch card after completing the card he told us that we had won the bonus prize he then took us in a taxi to an office in another part of las americas where we had to sit through a 7 hour sales pitch for a club la costa trial membership which entitled us to 5* accommodation in any one of there 28 luxury resorts after paying a deposit of £295 pounds for the deposit on the trial membership. We were then told that we would have to pay the outstanding balance on arriving home which was £3300 pounds after making all the necessary bank transferals. We received our trial membership which entitled us to 1 prelude week 1 free week and 5 weeks with in the time period of 33 months. The company were very keen to get us back for our first prelude week and we booked it for the first week in March 2007. After arriving back in Tenerife every thing was excellent the reception at the apartments and they were of 5* quality. The second day my wife and I had to go for breakfast with one of the company reps and we then had to attend another 6 hour sales pitch which was telling us that the company would buy back our trial membership for £5595 pounds and if we took the full membership which would cost us additional £8299 pounds this would buy us 1000points / shares in the company and once again we were pressured in to signing for this the money was going to be obtained by a credit company. After arriving home my wife and I have decided to cancel the agreement and have followed the company procedure to cancel this.We would be very grateful for your assistance regarding this matter.We would like to warn other people about this company and its methods of obtaining money.If you need to contact us please do not hesitate to do so.
