Seems to be taking a long time
I finally made connection by using my work e-mail after three no-responses through Yahoo mail. Got a return e-mail from
dianem@oaks.co.za indicating she would have
tajrishp@qv.co.za look into this as an urgent matter.
Apparently not so urgent - 5 days later and no action. Sent a final e-mail today reminding them that this is still open and they haven't processed payment.
Not sure at this point that the first e-mails were not just being ignored by this Tajrish person, as the last e-mail was the first to be addressed to (and made it through to) Diane M. If even after being contacted and prodded internally the payment can't be processed not sure what else I can do.
Oh well, they don't get paid it's their problem. If they can't be bothered to do their paperwork I can't be bothered to chase them anymore. Let them keep the darn timeshare, they've wasted enough time that the trade value is now hardly worth the amount of the payment.
Oh well, Sudwalla was great ride while it lasted. Seems like SA is no longer a place worth having a timeshare - after giving away my Seapointer a few years back feels like this is either gross incompetence or else another scam operator in the offing. Either way I can't see myself continuing wasting time on what's starting to feel like a losing proposition.

Today's update - the "head office" has decided to close until January 7. Couldn't be bothered to accept payment or deposit to RCI even after multiple (5) attempts. Saw on another thread that First Resorts was offering to swap Sudawalla weeks for Durban Sands - is the lack of responsiveness a clue that First Resorts is making a run at Sudwalla (if you don't know this story look up Stuart "Bullfrog" Lamont and his past activities through First Resorts)? The management at Sudwalla used to be so responsive and on top of everything - starting to feel that Sudwalla is on a down hill slide.
