    Is it an unsolicited letter or did you get in contact with them?

    This is not a valid website address:

    Yes either bin it or take up the offer of their "FREE HOLIDAY"

    I do not expect to see you back with "Help, Ive been ripped off/duped/conned, timeshare scam blah blah etc etc"

    sounds like they promote cheap deal if you sign up for a timeshare. Up to you really.

    The only problem will be the holiday will not be so cheap. They are listed as Mareting Consultants, they have no ATOL or ABTA membership I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. Check the letter, does it say both of you must attend, combined income of at least £25000 etc? If it does they will sell you timeshare or a holiday club offering wonderful discounts none of which really exist. If you have hours to waste, usually 3-5 hours not the 90 minutes quoted and the hide of a hippo to ward off the professional hard sell, if you don't throw it in the bin and get on with living.
  • AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

    Denny is the "boss" woman in there.
    Of course she's going to be money driven, but she literally keeps the money for herself and rips off her staff.
    You get tied into a contract buying holidays at a "reduced rate"
    Not worth it, you're better off going to Thomas cook where you can get everything offered in one price not just the so called deals the telesales staff are told to bullshine you with.
    scripts are changed near enough daily to work around what lies she can get away with throwing at people.
    don't trust them.
    don't go to their offices, her dog will urinate on your bag/coat what have you.
