Premier Holiday sold me a vacation package for $6000.00. Premier later billed me for the first of a previously unmentioned annual maintenance fee of $500.00. If this was not paid, I could not use my benefits from this package. All ethical arguments with Premier failed.
Since I had originally bought this package with a friend, who eventually migrated leaving me to make the payments by myself, I pleaded with Premier about the financial burden, and they offered to change my package to a total of 500 hotel nights, with a considerably lower annual fee. I accepted.
To my great disappointment, the hotel nights for my $6000.00 did not turn out to be prepaid. On attempting to make use of my package, I realized that I still had to pay an exorbitant rate that Premier considered to be much lower than standard. Anyone can get these deals through the internet. I pleaded with Premier Holiday to terminate my contract. That was impossible even though my $6000.00 were paid in full. I asked them to sell my contract; they said I would have to do so myself and inform them. I paid a company to do so but then I saw all these complaints about Premier Holiday on the internet, and understood why I was not attracting any buyers.
Premier keeps sending me the bill for the annual fee. When I first tried to get out of this financial bondage by ignoring this unfair, unethical charge, a debt collection company in California called Monterey, kept calling and threatening to ruin my credit. I paid up. Ive paid annual fees three times for no service. I've already been sent the notice for 2009. It's bad enough that I've paid $6000.00 for nothing. I don't want to continue adding to this loss with annual fees for nothing. But I don't want my credit ruined either. This is so unfair!
