Camp Resorts /Timber Lodge RV Park/ Owner: Jim Jerde sales pitch contradictary to contract, after signing up will not talk to you anymore, unprofessional Apple Valley Minnesota

This an Ebay sale Timber Lodge has on EBAY:

In previous rebuttal the site is National Association of Members. Google it

I am also in dispute with Timber Lodge/RPI. I have been a member since 2004 and have tried to use their campgrounds 4 times. only one time was satisfactory, the second the campground owner was drunk and would not honor the membership price, the 3rd campground in VA was not fit for human beings and the 4th campground closed ie: went out of business. You might find this website useful: (((Redacted)))

The options to cancel were provided by Timber Lodge RV Resort. Perhaps because of the different addresses it may not have reached you.

I never provided you any options due to the fact you have and never had any contract or legal agreement with me. There is nothing that exsists that would require my providing options to cancel anything between the two of us.

The information provided stating Mr. Jerde holds ownership to Timber Lodge RV Resort is completely inaccurate.

I have checked with Timber Lodge RV Resort and have been informed they are unable to locate any member in North Myrtle Beach, SC under the name of Logan. That all of the members have executed a membership agreement disclosing clearly the terms and conditions. That no verbal agreements exisit beyond the membership agreement. The the agreement is an industry standard agreement.

Additional information is required (i.e. membership number, last name, etc.) to properly respond to this report.

Timberlodge Resorts and Jim Jerde did not give me any options to cancel. The only thing they did was to keep sending me a bill stating that my account was past due. I might add, that the bills were sent to Las Cruces, NM, and not Citrus Heights, CA. However, on April 11th, I did satisfy my obligation by paying the annual dues, plus penalty and interest. I have not received any confirmation that this has been received, and that my membership in this ill-advised company has been reinstated.

I have recontacted Timber Lodge with the additional information. The only match they find is a Jack and Bernice Head with a Citrus Heights, California address. The telephone number on the record is an area code 801 which is the entire state of Utah. The record further indicates this account has been sent to Monterey Financial for enforsed collection efforts.

Their records indicate that Mr. and Mrs. Head purchased a membership to their resort in October 2006. That the membership agreement is an industry standard agreement. That on December 14, 2007 Mr. Head sent an email requesting cancellation of the membership. That on December 30, 2007 Mr. Head was provided with several option to cancel the membership. That some of the options provided are not provisions of the agreement but were offered in good faith in order to accommodate their request to cancel. That to date no response has been received from Mr. Head. That Mr. Head had been sent four monthly statements dating back to October 2007 regarding his annual dues obligation. That as is their company policy after four months as a delinquent account the account was turned over to Monterey Financial for enforsed collection action.

Timber Lodge RV Resort further has informed me that the options as provided in the December 2007 notice are still available or should Mr. Head provide an alternate reasonable option they would be willing to consider it.

Through negotiations with the BBB and the above company a settlement was reached between me and Camp Resorts / Timber Lodge RV Park. A word from the wise is to read the contract and ask LOTS of questions before mailing your money and signing on the dotted line. A lot of sales people have the gift of gab and you have a tendency to trust what they say as gospel. BUYER BEWARE.

Be sure to read all contracts inside and out, regardless of what the salesperson says over the phone. If they pressure you by saying only a "limited" supply remaining so you better hurry----hang up the phone.

Once you sign on the dotted line you will only hear from them when you are past due on your fees and ready to be turned over for collection. This company will not, I repeat, will not return any phone calls to you once they know you are trying to transfer or get rid of your membership. This same situation has happened to 2 other families that I have been in contact with and they say the same thing. The company will not return your phone calls, only send you past due notices and threats to turn you over to collections. Buyer Beware
