As a ex employee of Travelbridge and not a suporter of this slimy company. I am so glad someone is finaly doing something.

I am sorry to hear that not all the money is being returned. Mr Donald Eastervalt "Jr" should be paying out of his own pocket. And a few of his other slim balls. These so called officers of this slim ball company makes big bucks and I do mean big buck.

They can walk away with bucks in their pockets, when everyone else just walks away. Before Sept 11 Travelbridge was having problems, they blamed all of their problems on Sep 11.

This company took 20% of most of their employees away. Its a cut across the board, If you believe that one I have some swamp land in AZ to sell you.

They even rip off their devoted employees. To get their pay back they have to work allot harder and produce more, and even then no promises. The only ones that did not take a pay cut was the Big Slim Balls.

They have Muti million dollars home, and big cars, and large Credit card bills to pay for. I am still glad that they have to pay back some of the money, but they should be paying allot more.

Be advised that you will likely only get a small fraction of your membership refunded through this settlement. It has a cap of $200,000 for Travelbridge and an additional $150,000 for Turn of the Century Travel....Doing the math that equates to full settlement for perhaps 100-120 people. A San Antonio TV station KSAT says that the Texas AG estimates that the number applying may be in the 1000's so the refunds may only amount to a few hundred dollars.

You can still sue Travelbridge in small claims court for up to $5000 in damages if you feel deception was used to entice you to sign a contract. I am doing so. The Houston Office is in Harris County Precinct 4. The phone number is 281-446-7191. Call and request a petition form. The cost is $65 to file and have papers served. If you think you were wronged I would encourage you to file the lawsuit. It is not that difficult and it is probably the only way you will get your money back.

Channel 13 has also called me and is planning a story on Travelbridge soon.

I'm also looking to build support to set up some informational pickets near Travelbridges office. Contact me at mevert@cprk.com if you are interested or have other questions.

Me and my wife were invited to the seminary on May 2000 and the way they explained it sounded like a good deal. The name of the company was at that time Turn of the Century now Travelbridge. We pay $2.300.00 for nothing as it turned out we were not able to get airline fares at a cheaper rates than anywhere else. Also we tried to get confirmation on the promised trip to Las Vegas and received nothing yet. When we went over there to check on it the person in charge Ernest McKay said that we needed to pay $85.00 p/person in order to receive the confirmation. He said that this was refundable. We decided no to pay because of the non response and afraid to lose more money.
I'm a senior citizen and I feel that they abused my trust. Please, try to help us in anyway possible. we feel that they should give our money back. Thanks for everything in advance.
