| Has anyone purchased membership of this club based in Benidorm? I have paid a deposit of £1000 part of £3950 for lifetime membership.
Is this Club for real or is it a scam ?The company tell me they do not have a members' forum which makes me highly suspicious

| Hello Melvyn
My husband and I have been members of Holiday Maker for over 2 years and we have used the system half a dozen times now. I have nothing but praise for them, as I have always had great holidays in excelent accomodation.
Not sure why you think it maybe a scam as you put it! Have you used your membership yet? They are really very helpful when you phone to book a holiday. They even call you straight back, so you won't run up your own phone bill.
I hope you have as many wonderful holidays as my family and I have had.
Marion

| Whilst on holiday in Benidorm this year we bought into a club with Holiday Maker S.L but haven't found much information since about them, if anyone has any further information about this company or websites we can be guided to it would be much appreciated.

| Found today on a company directory. This may be the Spanish equivalent of the Registered Office rather than a place of business and I cannot trace a phone number but, assuming that they are still in business, it's a start. One name associated with them a couple of years ago was Alex Brookfield:
HOLIDAYMAKER SL
AV/ DE ALMERIA, 20 EDIFICIO BEN-LOIX.
BENIDORM
ALICANTE

| We have experienced a similar scam with Holiday Warehouse Tenerife where we bought a Club Class membership.
The membership is for real but if you have been offered a reclaim facility, it doesnt happen.
We have found holidays cheaper via internet that going through Club Class.
We have recently been contacted by Travel Group SL re our reclaim facility from Holiday Warehouse advising they can put us in contact with a Consultant if we go over for a cost of £136.24 to help get our recalim.
I put a search on Travel Group SL and it came up with this watchdog link hence this e mail. We will not be sending anymore money.
Our experience is this is all a scam. Do not pay anymore money. You wont get any back if you have been offered a reclaim facility. We never got any paperwork and Holiday warehouse went bust.

| I suggest that you re-post this on - and have a look at - the Club Class Concierge thread. Whether you have a chance of reclaiming the money depends to some extent what you were told when you joined. You have not been told that you will get it all back through cash back have you?

My parents got shafted in this scam about 5 years ago. Never received any 'cheap' holiday offers, and then when they tried to 'reclaim' their cash, were told some bull about the claim not being sent correctly.
They were then approached by the police in Gibraltar, who requested information as they were being investigated.
My mum then received a phone call last week from Karen at Travel Group SL, Tenerife, advising that if they were to pay £136.24 'consultancy fee', they could 'guarantee' to get their initial claim paid out!
Anyway, the letter of confirmation turned up yesterday, it states the fee to be paid first, and then goes on to say, 'that their accommodation will be SUBSIDISED' in order for them to stay for 1 week and meet with a consultant.
I can't believe that this company, not content with just ripping people off the first time round, are now trying to do it again!
I fel like getting a flight out there & marching upto their door & demanding to speak with someone, but I doubt it will get us anywhere.
Were you contacted by the police in Gib?

| Bolger - I believe Thornton Ridge to be a scam in fact I am convinced of it. You will not be better off if you deal with them. In addition a Google search on their phone number shows it to be shared with Nationwide Land Estates which is undoubtedly a scam.
I would be inclined to go through all this with Trading Standards in the first instance and, in particular, to establish why Northern Rock are able to say that they cannot help you. How much is involved?

| northern rock said that it,s a legal document that we signed and they cannot help they said my husband did loan over net.He did not they rang me organized by club class.Trading standards said they don,t think we will get any money back.We have been conned twice!! last year in malta we signed to club riza for £3,000 and then in july in portugal for £6,700 we told club class we already had holiday club and they said they would dissolve it for £750 we paid as they told us club riza would take us to court if we didn,t pay our maintanance yearly which was going up rappidly.I don,t mean to be rude butr are you genuine as I,ve been conned alot just recently and I,m abit wary who I.m supposed to talk to I apologize if you are..So now I haVE 2 HOLIDAY CLUBS AND NO MONEY AS THAY HAVE TAKEN OUR SAVINGS.I don.t know what to do as it scares me thinking they could take me to court and that these clubs will get passed on to my children and all the payments.

| Bolger - exactly what did Club Class say that they would do about your original Holiday Club? Did they put it in writing? Have they done what they said they would do? Presumably not, if you are still tied to it.
Does the Northen Rock loan agreement (or any correspondence from them) state what the money was lent for?
Have you been given anything to do with CashBack?
