Chandigarh consumer court orders holiday club to refund ₹95,000 with 9% interest
Chandigarh consumer court has ordered Park Club International to refund ₹95,000 of the ₹1.10 lakh paid for a five-year holiday membership, plus 9% yearly interest and ₹15,000 for harassment. The firm promised stays at 4-5 star hotels and meals, but the customer got lower-star rooms and extra bills. The company did not appear, so the order went against it.
