      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      I had a Thousand Trails camping pass. I gave written notice of cancellation before the expiration of the pass was to be renewed. I now receive calls from them stating that I owe money for the renewal. When I stated that I had a written notice of cancellation, they stated that they did not cancel because I had an outstanding balance. When I asked them where the balance came from, they claimed that our last stay with them, which was a two week stay, there was three days that we were not at our camper. They charged additional for these three days. I have disputed with them that we stayed there the entire two weeks and that just because they may not have seen us 3 out of 14 of those days, I will not be charged. They now claim I owe those charges along with late fees and the monthly membership fees because they will not cancel my membership and will continue to bill me monthly membership fees until I pay everything. I have tried making complains to corporate and to the park in which made these claims. I cannot get any assistance to handle this matter properly, much rather they just want our money that we do not rightfully owe them.

      Used the camping pass for two years and no real problems but sold out camper so had no use for a camping pass. Didn’t renew for the next year but started getting bills. They now say we owe them for the past 3 years and the refuse to cancel our membership. They said they will continue to bill us each year. Why would I pay for the last three years when I never even used their services. I couldn’t physically even use the services because you pay for a camping pass before you can use it. They want me to pay for a service that I didn’t even have access to for the past 3 years! Now they are going to continue to bill me until I pay for the last three years plus late charges.
