In August we purchased what we thought was a membership with Coast to Coast RV Resorts, with Timber Lodge RV Resort as our home campground. We dropped C2C and then tried to cancel the Timber Lodge part of the package, and was told we could not do so because it was a lifetime membership, all-though he words lifetime, lifetime membership, or lifetime contract are no where mentioned in our contract. We have never used the Timber Lodge Resort facility and have no use for the membership as we do not live in that part of the nation.
We paid the initial purchase price of $495.00 plus $99.00 per/year for five years and have notified Timber Lodge by mail that we will not pay any more dues or maintenance fees. We received notice on 11-30-12 that the issue was being referred to a collection agency.
We have consulted with our attorney and are ready to do battle if necessary. We have also notified by mail the FTC (federal trade commission) and NAM (national association of members) as well as Minnesota BBB. We are preparing a complaint to be filed with the Attorneys General of Minnesota, Texas and California. We refuse to be intimidated by Jim Jerde or anyone else at Timber Lodge or their collection goons.
We would love to talk to anyone willing to consider a class action law suite or who has successfully beat this outrageous scam.
