Before the Forum, it was case of the complainant that OP by giving a call on her husband's mobile phone called them to their office stating that their mobile number had worn a prize. They were asked to collect it. When they reached in the office of OP, no such prize was available, rather they were allured to sign a holiday package scheme for 10 years on payment of an amount of 70,000/- plus Rs. 2100/-. They were promised that they can enjoy vacation facilities in resorts of the appellant for a specific number of days and also can enjoy many other facilities. It was specifically stated that thereafter one application was got signed on 20.8.2013. It was grievance of the complainant that as promised, blue season membership cards were not supplied to them. It is further stated that at the time when they were allured to sign the agreement, she was told that the appellant owned a club at Zirakpur. If any customer organizes a function therein, only electricity charges will be claimed by the appellant. However, no such club was existed there. In the last week of December, 2013, when they approached OP to book a trip to Goa, they were refused by stating that during that period, facility was not available. Fed up with the behavior of the appellant, she wrote a letter seeking refund of the amount paid. When nothing was done, she filed a consumer complaint.

Upon notice, reply was filed by the appellant/Opposite Party. It was stated that the complainant visited its office at her own. No telephone call was made to her. She was satisfied with the scheme and purchased vacation membership for 10 years by signing an agreement. It was further stated that there was no necessity to issue any membership card, as alleged. It was further stated that non-issue of Identity card will not be going to effect the right of a customer to enjoy vacations. It was also denied that the complainant approached the appellant for booking in the month of December, 2013 and she was refused booking, as alleged. It was further stated that as per terms and conditions of the agreement, the amount cannot be refunded.
