This query is : Resolved
I have taken country club membership(kool 4957) in december 2008 after talking to the ccl executive Moula D.He came to kottayam and explained about lifetime and transferable membership.He told me that if I take membership then I will be given two adjacent plots of 1089 sq ft each near Bangalore 35 kms away from new international airport and many other offers like holiday package,air tickets etc.At the time of joining I have asked whether i can select the plots of my choice.he agreed and offered me plot no.591 and 592.So I took the membership by payng Rs.145000 in two cheques of Rs.75000 and Rs.70000 in December 2008.In January,2009, I got the plot allotment letter only for one plot and that too was not as per my choice.It was alotted site no.2,RR1 layout.when I called the executive,he was not available.I contacted with the customer care ccl.but they told me the other plot will be given later and i hav to contact the concerned executive and disconnected the phone. Later when I enquired in detail I came to know that the plot allotted to me was not near Bangalore and not even in Karnataka state.It is in Andhrapradesh.Two times I have gone to BangaloreCCL office at Indiranagar to see the plot.But they refused to take me to the site.two times I went to Bangalore and wasnt able to see the site.I asked them to cancel my membership and give me back my money of Rs.1.45 lakhs.They said that it is not refundable.As Country club has not kept the promises, Im going to file a case against country club in the consumer court for cheating me and giving false commitment.I need an expert advice for this too.Hundreds of people became the victim of this fraud promises by the Ccl and lost their hard earned money.And the CCL is enjoying our money.Kindly help me throwing light to this.

This is a case of unfair trade practice and deficiency of service.
File a case before consumer forum and ask for return of money and compensation.

Thank you for you suggestion sir.But when I searched in the Internet,it is showing that we have to file the case within 2 years from the date of cause of action.Since I took the membership in December 2008,can I file case in consumer court?or else I have to go to civil court?and I am from Kerala and the opposed party is in Karnataka.So where shall I file the case?Kindly reply?

Cause of action is still continuing; that will take care of the limitation.

Consumer complaint is your right which can be exhausted within 2 years of cause of action but police complaint shall be easy and less time consuming process.
