Anybody Listening? (09/18/2008)
We just signed up for this last night! It's 5:00 am and I am having huge buyer's remorse! Sadly, we live in Texas, where there are apparently buyers remorse laws only for door to door sales. Seems if you were ignorant enough to drag yourself in to get your "free lunch", you deserve what you get. Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me. I guess I'm in for a fight trying to get them to cancel. I called MasterCard to ask them to reject the payment, but they told me I have to let it hit the books and then challenge it. I'll contact Sealand today and see how easy it is to get out of this. I am devastated that I didn't listen to my ... more >>

I know exactly how you feel - we fell for the same deal on Sat. evening. I've already returned the binder and cancelled the membership but in speaking with "Jody" tonight she told me that they will refund our money less the 15% restocking fee and the $399 processing fee. I plan to fight for a full refund.
I've been exchanging emails with some other people who had the same experience today and between us we have found out a lot about this "business" and all the associations. We were told Sealand had been in business 25 years and Jody indicated they were a Missouri firm. I did find that there was a Sea-Land set up in Mo. in 1973 but it ... more >>

Eek - we just signed up yesterday. I KNEW I should have looked online first. If the company headquarters is not really in MO, I think that is enough to assume they are falsifying info, and cannot be trusted to book things at a good rate. And they have our ss# and cc info. Man - I am usually good at sniffing a fraud and have gone to many time share presentations and never signed. Shame on me for not following the rule - sleep on any big decision. So, am feeling led to turn in my binder tomorrow, or should i send by mail?, and write an email and fax that we are cancelling.
Would love a lawyer name and comments from others seeking to get back ... more >>

It's criminal what a discharged employee can say about a company. "Angist" is actually Pam Faeilla, a recently fired employee of Bon Voyage Travel. She worked for several travel clubs such as the one's that she listed and was released from each. We hired her because she said she was experienced in the industry. Now she is angry at all of them because she was fired for incompetence, first as a sales rep and then as a secretary, no less.
Bon Voyage Travel does have several different levels of membership depending upon which privileges a client wishes to engage in. We try to accommodate the financial needs of all of our clients, regardless of their budgetary constraints. That, however, we view as a positive feature of our club. Bon Voyage is an authorized distributor of SeaLand Vacation Club and proud to be selected as their representative in the Austin area. SeaLand has been serving it's members for over 20 years and now has over 120,000 members in three countries.

Ron, if Sealand Vacation Club or Sealand Travel has been in business for over 20 years, how come I cannot find any information about them? The address I have for them on my contract is just at a UPS Store in Missouri. They are not a registered business in the State of Missouri nor are they registered to do business in Texas. Why are they trying to hide? Is this just a front for another William Bailey scheme like Castaways Vacation Club? Their websites are amazingly similar! See here:
www.sealandtravelclub.com
and
www.castawaysvc.com
Come on, show us where to find information about the ownership and State of registration for this business! I believe you are a con artist and a liar sir and you have a lot of nerve posting here!
