#7 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Fun Time Vacations, The Travel Center are part of the Scam!
AUTHOR: Michelle hubbartt - ()

How convienient you make them sign a disclaimer, and you say you only book the vacation we request. We were sold vacations that were very specific, and sent to you. This has been occuring for years, and if you were not privy to how it works I doubt you would have been doing business with first select this long. THAT BEING SAID--
Your vacation quotes are outrageous! If I hired a travel agent, they would bend over backwards and commuicate with me. Your company will do nothing over the phone, it is only after countless emails and"fees" can you even get a quote from your company. You don't leave room for any special conditions. Then when you get the quote, it is higher than if I did it myself off of any travel sight such as priceline, expedia, et all.
I was quoted 1500.00 MORE than What I could do it for myself, and mine included a rental car. You say you offer discount vacations, I think the 50.00 quote fee plus the extra 1500.00 would mean a pretty good pay day for you. CONSUMER BEWARE.

Thank You Pam!!!
First Select Travel is in New Mexico.
Please let me explain how this works to give you a better understanding of our involvement with hundreds of travel companies.
How a reservation is given to us is very simple. It all starts with travel companies all over the world needing a wholesale travel company to book their reservations for them.
Thats what Travel Center and Fun Time processing do, we book reservations, thats all.
After a person buys or is given a travel package their information is sent to us, we then send that person all the documentation to book that reservation including all our company disclosures. When the traveler is ready to book they SIGN THAT THEY HAVE READ ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS & THAT THEY KNOW WE WERE NOT THE ONE WHO SOLD OR GAVE IT TO THEM.
That person also read that there are no refunds of the activation fee once we do the work to make a reservation, no company works for free.
Then the person fills out the booking documents and sends them to us to make the reservation, the only information we know about the vacation is what the traveler send to us.
We are not involved in the sale and do not know what was said in that conversation, we only know what was asked by the traveler.
Our job is simply to provide a professional quote and if excepted handle booking the reservation.
Travel Center and Fun Time processing are no different that any of the big nationwide booking companies...........but.....we have way fewer complaints.
It seems that if we would have never delt with First Select Travel our record would be spotless.
We have rectified that as we are no longer doing business with them.
Warmly

Travel Center and Fun Time Blame First Select Scam
AUTHOR: The Travel Center & Fun Time Reservations - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, February 22, 2015
The Blame Game for this Same Adddress Family: Now for the final preformance of the Scam. The Travel Center and Fun Time Reservations will blame First Select Travel for their horrible business practices. "They (First Select Travel) promised all those people a vacation perhaps a cruise for a certain price... how dare they" "First Select Travel advertised and promised you that vacation...we did not advertise that vacation" "Did First Select Travel take your money? that is not us ...You should be going after First Select Travel...They should have never promised you a vacation at that price or for that hotel or whatever it was and thank you so much for the vacation activation fees you have provided us. We are just the booking company. You can not come after us. We have nothing to do with First Select Travel,"
Oh are you watching Travel Center, Fun Time Managment? So, please provide the business tax identification number. Did you ask your costumers the specifics of their vacation? or do you place everyone on a flight that goes around the world to their vacation spot and then set them up in a Econo lodge when they paid for an all inclusive vacation at the Marriott, That is right you are not to blame. How dare First Select Travel do that.... The Travel Center and Fun Time is just the booking agent and read the terms and conditions.... We did not advertise a price....just provided pictures of vacation ...
Really, this would make a good hollywood movie, Do you think?
Warmly,
American Citizen

First Select Travel (who ever they are, false addresses, they purchase a google 1-855 number, and set up a name) The Travel Center and Fun Time Travel blame First Select and will never do business with them again. BUT the truth is another Company such as Grand Incentives will emerge. This Travel company will send faxes to business advertising vacations and referr to The Travel Center who refers to Fun Time Vacations. They play in low volume less than $100. Per the Better Business Bureau, they all share the same office. Consumers be aware

RESOLUTION PROS WHO IS THAT

SUBMITTED: Friday, February 20, 2015
Sorry
As a side not, Resolution Pros is the company that processes payments for First Select Travel.
Again the imformation being posted is incorrect, any payments made for travel were to First Select Travel.
The only fees paid to Travel Center or FunTime processing would have been for the activation of the travel after you signed all the documents.

RESPONSE TO LAST POST
AUTHOR: Manager - ()
SUBMITTED: Friday, February 20, 2015
Thanks for the last post!!!
We are hoping that you are reading all the posts so you are aware of all the effort that we are making to give the proper responses.
With all do respect to the few who are posting, please remember that we have signed documents from anyone who has ever given the Travel Center money to activate their travel.
Those documents were signed by those who have given our company money and clearly state that before you sent the Travel Center or Funtime Processing any fees you would have read that we:
Did Not Sell You Anything.
We Did Not Advertize Anything.
You signed that you were aware of all the terms and conditions of the travel that we were providing you that was sold to you by another company.
You also signed that you knew that we were not a part of the company that either sold or gave the travel to you.
You signed that you knew that we were only the booking agents that would help you make your reservation.
After you signed all the documents, you still sent them to our company along with your activation fee.
The question is, if you read all that and also went to our site at www.vacationreservationcenter.com, checked boxes after reading the terms and conditions on the site that you understand what our job is, what did we do wrong for you to post negative things about our company.
Hear is the issue, you are blaming Travel Center for something that they had nothing to do with.
First Select Travel is who you need to be blaming for all this.
We just found out that they are out of business, their phones are not working and they are not responding to our emails.
We notified them weeks ago that we would no longer service their customers due to these posts.
In closing we are about to post all the documents on this site that everyone has to sign so that the world can see that Travel Center has gone to great lengths to make sure that any client is fully aware of what our responsibilities are and that we are only the booking company.
We were not in the conversation with you and the company you made your arrangments with so we have no knowledge of that conversation, and that is also on our documentation and site.
Its a shame that just because you are mad at them you place negative things about us.
Hear is a thought, please look at our complaints ( only a few ) and we help thousands of travelers every year.
Warmly
