Text of Complaint by Puneet Saxena:

Lots of goodies were told while selling the product ( membership ). When the time came to use the membership, the officials replied back that all the goodies which i am asking is not part of policy. Even after number of follow-ups in through mails and calls, no one responds back.

To buy the membership, Club Mahindra charged me INR 2.71 L, but while its the turn to provide service, there is no one to take care.

Below are the name and number of the people who are responsible for this fraud –
Belliappa Subbaiah Machimada ( South India head ) – ph – 9845290267, email – [email protected]
Ayyad Basha ( Senior Sales representative ) – ph – 9880208058, email – [email protected]
Siddharth T Siyal ( Sales representative ) – ph – 8553100202, email – [email protected]
international jjstours ( International travel consultants ), email – [email protected]

Below is the trail mail of the number of follow ups maid and with minimal response –

Mr Belliappa,

Yesterday we spoke at 12:30 noon, and you committed to call back in 2 mins. Entire day is over, I am still waiting for your call. It’s a classic example of unprofessionalism.

Requesting again to share next escalation level contact details

Let me make things clear. This is not going to work this way. If my queries are not resolved before this week ends, I am going to put this chain mail along with the narrative in all the social media, and file a case in consumer forum / court.

Follow up number 4

Belliappa – I remember you committed to get this resolved within 12 hours, when we spoke on Friday 26th Nov’21, evening around 4:30 pm. Unfortunately the result was the same, no mail or phone call reply.

I humble request you to share further escalation matrix, or else please confirm back that my money is lost and I should seek legal action now.

Dear Club Mahindra Team and Ayyad,

The response is a bit confusing –

I asked for a travel date starting 10th Dec’21.
I need further options on the resorts available. The review of the resort provided is not that good.
Please share the break up of the cost and Itinerary. As I understand Transportation from Bangalore Airport till resort and back to Bangalore Airport is included in the complimentary package.
Apart from this, I asked for 2 additional days in Maldives from my membership account.
Two, 6 years children will also accompany us on this trip. Hope this is taken care in the itinerary.
Would suggest if someone can call me up and discuss and close this. replying over mail and then waiting for 2 days for response will not work out.

Puneet Saxena

Dear Club Mahindra Team,

As per the ask, I attached all the Passports for –

Puneet Saxena
Bandana Sharan Saxena
Adya Saxena
Anya Saxena
Date for Travel – 10th Dec’21.

I have also attached scanned copy of the details explained by our sales executive, Siddharth Siyal, marked in the mail, where its been clearly stated, that for all Domestic and International travels, food cost in the Club Mahindra property will be in between INR 1100 and INR 1500 only, whereas as per your below mail its INR 3700 per meal, per person, per day. Where is the disconnect here ? Was something told to us just to sell the membership ? Or if at the time of selling membership it was told correctly, then why has it been charged high now ? There are many gaps I see, between what was told at the time of sale and what I get in reality ? This seems highly unprofessional and unexpected from the Mahindra group.

Please check and reply back with what stands in reality asap.

Puneet Saxena
