Martin Lake Resort- Jerry Snow Uses deceptive tactics Ocean Springs Mississippi

I purchased a membership in Martin Lake Resort for $1500 with annual fees of $249. I paid for two years but only used the resort one time. After the 2nd year I wrote a letter to cancel my membership and forfeit my $1500.

I was then told that I could not cancel my membership but had to pay $249 every year forever and ever. I was no longer living in Mississippi but in South Dakota. I sold my motorhome so had no use for the resort.

They referred my account to Bayside Recovery (collection agency) and now claim I owe them $1371 in back fees.

I am 77 years old, no longer have an RV, had written them to cancel my membership and had agreed to forfeit the $1500 I had paid them upfront. They never told me about having to pay annual fees forever when I would not be using the resort.

I have refused to pay and they have turned in a collection report on my spotless credit. Equifax has done nothing really to remove it.
