I had recieved vouchers in the mail for the ramada plaza resorts and 1600usd. Curious I called the 1-800 number to find out what it was about. I was given this well practiced speech of recieving this great vacation package to orlando, and a 2 day cruise to Nassua Island in the Bahamas.
I was told it would only cost me $396 for two people to go. SO, i willingly gave them my visa debit card #, i was then connected to someone who could confirm the transaction, i was told it would be taped. He asked me to say that i authorized the transaction, i replied "I do". Then the call ended.
Later I talked to my mother about it, she very quickly got upset with me. With good reason too. I talked to her fiance Robert who is an attourney. He advised me to call my bank and put a stop to the transaction, there was nothing the representative could do. I made an attempt to call the company and cancel I never got the chance to speak to anyone. They hung up on me.
Desperate, I called my bank again to try and close the account but the transaction was pending. My last option was to file a dispute. I dont know if that will do me any good as I authorized the transaction. Is there anyway at all I can stop this or get my money back? I unfortunately do not live in a State that filed a lawsuit against the Ramada Plaza Resorts.
I looked up research on the Ramada after talking to my mother. Now I feel sick inside as I fear all my money will be taken from me as a result of hidden fees and I wont be able to pay rent. I am a college student "now" really struggling to survive.
