Even in Death, contract cannot be cancelled

I have been a member with Dream Vacation since 2011.

My main reason for taking this was for my parents who has just retired. It was a small gift that I could give them for all of their hard work over the years. The package suited them, as using the points in off peak meant lots of mini vacations and they would not have to stress about taking leave. Heartbroken, my dad passed away suddenly in 2012. I continued to pay towards, the subs and loan account even though we had not used the points for the first couple years. I was unemployed for a period and continued to pay. I called dream vacations often and advised the accounts department that I cannot pay towards something that we used three times , more importantly, I needed to assist my mum financially after my dad passed away. I mailed through my dads death certificate in my mail and still no assistance with regard to cancelling the contract. The only response/advise the accounts team would mail me is a payment plan or a payment holiday. This does not help some-one that bought this has a gift for my parent who passed away. My countless telephone calls to the accounts team, fell on "deaf ears." They would keep telling me that they will speak to management about my situation and get back to me and I would not hear back from them until I call again and get the same response. Now I have been sent a letter advising that I have been handed over. Is paying towards points, that is not used more important that assisting my mum financially?

My advise to anyone is please be very weary when taking a contract with Dream Vacation, their after sales service and assistance is poor, to say the least. However when they want to sell you these points, they will call you have second!

Dear Charlene,

This serves as confirmation that the membership is pending cancellation and should be finalized during February 2018. The cancellation is due to non payment of the account.

Kind Regards

Hi, Thank you for the response. Please can I receive confirmation that this account will be cancelled and I owe nothing to Dream Vacation Club. I have mailed the very similar details to Dream Vacation 22/02/2017 and received no feedback from management. Hence I am very reluctant with responses from Dream Vacation Club.

So Dream Vacation continues with their disgusting service! Received two credit notes for the loan account and subs. However I also received a letter advising that I have been blacklisted for non payment! How pathetic and heartless can they be? This is from me mailing through a sincere e-mail advising of the passing of my dad and that the timeshare was taken for him. do I still pay for something for some-one that has passed away? Do I still pay for something instead of my mums expenses? Mind you, this mail was sent in February 2017!!!! Only when I posted on hello peter did i get a response within days. Dream vacation I have to hand it to you...APPALLING.

So After receiving the cancellation e-mail this morning from Dream Vacation & my earlier post I am yet to receive a response from them regarding blacklisting... I do not understand how you can be blacklisted for non payment after sending a mail a year ago, to advise that this was taken for a parent that passed away and we cannot afford to pay for a holiday timeshare. Rather we need to pay for medical expenses for my mum. If the service was amazing at Dream Vacation, this could have been resolved in February last year. Dream Vacation club are very dodge, do not take calls or entertain sms's from them. Once you sign up, you are stuck even in death!!!!! I am now going to put my experience on every social media platform, and advise as many people as I can about Shady Dream Vacation Club!!!
