Legal Matters

In July, 2005 Sundance Vacations was investigated by the state of New Jersey for failure to comply with Federal and state minimum wage laws. The investigation resulted in 32 employees being paid a total of $19,762.62 in back wages. The company also paid administrative fees of $1,976.26 and penalties of $3,000.

On August 11, 2006, a Federal Civil Rights violation was filed against Sundance Vacations in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania citing discrimination. The case was settled out of court. ED.PA. NO. 05-CV-04193

On November 6, 2006, a consumer fraud civil law suit was filed against Sundance Vacations, Inc. and Sundance Vacations Network, Inc. The fraudulent misrepresentation claim was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, docket number L-8256-06. The civil suit detailed numerous violations of N.J.S.A. 56:8 et seq. of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, by utilizing “false pretenses through the use of unconscionable commercial practices.” The case was settled out of court.

Selling Practices

Imagine that a company has access to 200 properties of vacation inventory on an annual basis. Each property provides 2 units, which equals 400 weeks of inventory. If each week of inventory were used for each of the 52 weeks in any given year that would then equal 20,800 weeks of vacation inventory on an annual basis. However, that company sells far in excess of 20,800 weeks of inventory on an annual basis, banking on the fact that most of those members will not go through the various restrictive and impractical requirements to use their individual yearly vacation week. (The same inconvenience as clearly explained by travel journalist Rosemary McClure in her well researched article: “The Prize fight,” published in the Chicago Tribune.) In other words, Sundance Vacations sells more vacation weeks than they can possibly deliver in any given year - plain and simple! Incidentally, Sundance Vacations promulgates that they have approximately 80,000 members, you do the math! It’s a scam; highly organized and very sophisticated, but a scam nonetheless!

I could go on ad infinitum but that would be redundant. Therefore, I strongly urge that you PERUSE all this material and draw your own conclusions.

Naturally, some of the comments come from disgruntled employees, litigious public, irate clients, plagiarism and repetitive authors. But in the final analysis, either ALL of the myriad complaints are wrong; or, where there’s smoke, there’s fire!
