Hi Jonybravo, I read your posts and was wondering as to who you sent the email regarding cancellation. If possible would you let me have Esporta's email address and give me an outline as to what you wrote to them. I am in a process of cancelling my membership with Esporta but note that they are asking for a 3 month cancellation period which i beleive is really 'unfair.' I would really appreciate if you could help me out. Regards Jasmin

Hi rudraksh 777, I read your mail. I am based in U.K and was silly enough to be convinced by DPC to take thier membership worth £256 for a period of 5 years. They told me it inlcudes Hajj and Umrah packages etc. I instructed a firm of solicitors to act on my behalf. My solicitors wrote a letter to them asking them to pay my money back within 14 days as i have the right to get a refund under the Consumer Protection Act. My solicitors sent it by special delivery and what they did was they opened the letter, soon as they saw its a warning from solicitors, they put the letter back into the envelope and changed the address on top of the envelope as if it never reached them! So childish and un professional as special delivery has a tracking system which proves that it has been delivered to the right place. Anywayz I have also informed my credit card dept who has given them 30 days to return my monies else they will take the matter forward. I have to wait approx another 2 weeks. Now the problem with TLC marketing is that they are a company who i assume is also dodgy and messes around with peoples monies the way DPC does. According to Companies House, TLC Marketing has a County Court Judgement (CCJ) against them. I dont really know the law and legislation in India but thought i'd update everyone on my situation. I tried every other way to get them back, instructed solicitors, complained to my bank, made a complaint to WatchDog (emailed them), and also lodged a complaint with Trading Standards. Lets see what happens now. I hope i also get my money back as i have paid a very high amount.

Hi thanks for everyones replies. I will be writing to my bank and also to Discount Premium Club to get my money back. If they dont get back to me then i will wtite to Trading Standards and also to watchdog. Will people whoever have gone through a bad time with them write in this forum so that i can refer Trading Standards and Watchdog here. Please get back. Thanx

Hi im completely new in this forum. Today i become a member with Discount Premium Club. Couple of hours later i read everyones comments here. When i called DPC to cancel my membership they said its impossible. They also mentioned that my conversation has been recorded and they will pass the tape onto their department for breach of contract. They are simply threatening me and blackmailing me that they have a tape recorded!! How can they say im in breach of contract when i was not given or told about their procedure, terms and conditions, etc. I do not even hold any contractual documents, my payment is still pending!! I have not even used their services. I just dont want to be a member of theirs. When i called up, a guy was talking to me in a sarcastic way as if i am some sort of an alien!! He was putting false allegations on me. I need to know where i have to complain!! i called up my bank and was told to complete and send a visa dispute form. Has anyone got their money back yet?? please let me know. There customer service is so bad! pathetic! ridiculous!! i just cant believe how they treated me within 24 hours of the membership. When i asked for one of their staffs details, his name etc. the guy was hesitating and asking me whether i will sue him. I have spoken to 3 guys from DPC and note that all of them are asian, one said he is pakistani but on the other hand they have names such as Jordan, Sam, Michael, Louis!! that sounded a bit strange to me. People please dont fall for their words, the way i did. I need to find out how i can, not just get my money back but take legal action against them!!
