I am in the middle of a lawsuit with this company. Case # 12 - 7073 gc in the 74the district court bay city, mi.
I have seen courts lie for the plaintiff but theis is unreal. I had a previous case and settled with theoutdoor adventures counsel and a thomas soerger. But now thomas soerger wants to apply thee payments his way and not according to thee agreement. I had paid some more payments and when i asked thomas soerger to adjust theis he had a new case filed.
I will be filing and answer and counter - complaint since he filed bothe law suits at thee beginning of summer and denied us access for two full summers.
Be careful how you deal with these people as they are very untrustworthey. They have created some type of accounting documents which is very confusing.
Any one wanting more information can contact my email at: [protected]@yahoo.com
They are very un trustworthy.
And you think a used car salesman will lie, just try one at Outdoor Adventures.
The kind of business that this company runs is despicable. we were invited to a site and were offer a tour of the facility. we were told that it was a great opportunity for the family to spend time together. After we bought the membership we discovered that the other outdoor adventure locations are disgusting, outdated buildings, campsites are very small. the pools are extremely dirty. when we tried to get out they said we were not allowed to sell our ":deed" and that like it or not we had to continue to pay out yearly fee or else it was going to be sent to a collection agency. They made no attempt to give us the opportunity to get out of the Membership they are obligating us to remain meters even thought we are not interested in been part of them. they also state that it will be this way for lifetime since that is the membership we originally purchased. We want to warn others looking in to this resorts to stay away from them and to not let the sales guy tell you that if at anytime you want to leave you can because it is a not true they will harass you until you can not take the 3-4x /day calls and just pay. It is no difference than a posy scheme . This is one of the most dishonest companies i have ever dealt with and i don't recommend it to anyone that is looking in to any kind of vacation rental/ Camping
i am in the same situation and will like to know if you were able to solve it and how. Thanks
BBB is useless...company responds back and it isn't very nice what they say...go to www.michigan.gov/ag and file a complaint
Total scam and lie to get you to buy. Filing a BBB complaint.
I also went to BBB and they came back telling me that the company responded...their response was summed up that we were liars and we aren't getting anything from them...waste of time.
Go to www.michigan.gov/ag and file a complaint with them...better results. She is going for them.
Got scammed too. Got a ph call telling me I was 1 of 5 guaranteed winners for the vehicle. So they got us in the door. We are not wealthy people and normally do our camping our own way. However, of course we werent winners, total BS. I have contacted them and they tell me there is no way we can get out of the contract. We had a lousy cr rating too so they tried my overseas cr card which allowed them to finance us. So we are paying premium dollars for nothing that we wanted in the first place. Talk about gift of the gab. We will never use them and want nothing more than to get the heck out of this lousy contract.
We dont even ask for anything back for it all. We still owe almost the full amount and have been paying interest only for about 2 years.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to legally break this contract? Any info would be appreciated.
HI Kaye, we ended up calling Outdoor Adventures after having purchased the lifetime contract and having this membership for 5 years. We started at a low maintenece fee then all over the sudden it climbed to $580 per year. When I inquired why the fees were getting so high they said it was a cost of living fee adjustments for the employees that work for each location. We never had an issue getting on the campsites. We found we just didn't utlized the membership the way when thought we would. Now just before we were getting ready to make our next yearly maintence fee due in June, we called and asked what we had to do to cancel our membership. The employee took down our name and said they have a board meeting once a month and that they discuss matters such as cancellations and would get back to me. Approximately 30 days letter, I received an email that I can cancel my contract with a buy out option of $1, 067.00 and that it was due within 30 days of the email. Now we paid for our Outdoor Adventure right up front and owed nothing. I don't know if it was because of that is why they are allowing us to cancel but it can be done.

How do we go about fileing a class action law suit. Count us in. They said they were mailing me a key to win a truck. I didn't receive a key so I called before my appointment and was told they have my key there it was to late to mail it. We got there and were told several things that we thought were good. High pressure sales. When we were leaving I asked about my truck key for the contest. The salesman reached behind the counter and said this is the key we give everyone. I new then that the things they told us were not true. My wife was rear ended in a serious car accident. I got the Dr. paper work they wanted and wrote a note explaining she has to have specific conditions to be able to be comfortable. To be fair we stayed in one of the cabins but we can't use their facilities any longer because of her condition. They called and said they will end our membership but instead of any compensation they will let us out but we have to pay two years fees. Nice hardship agreement don't you think. They push you through and don't really give you time to read the content of the contract. They tell you what it says and hurry you with other questions while you are trying to read the contract. I want to be included in a law suit with some other people who feel lied to and taken advantage of.
During our presentation (4 of us present) we were not told there was a $500 a year maintenance fee. We were only told cost of the total. We signed a 10 year agreement which would total out to at least an additional $5000. I say at least due to maintenance fees can and usually do go up as the years pass.
Seems that even with a lawsuit going on The Outdoor Adventurers are continuing to run their business as usual. For I to can be added to the suckers list. But seems that they changed their tactics and are using credit cards that people used to place orders with them. I have since reported them to my card holder and other state and government sites.
