Frank Blacketer stated the following about his company, "our units are Cape Cod style, so they are very different from anything else that is around. Our units they have crows nests that you can take an elevator up to and sit out and overlook the lake. Our owner has set this up with the thoughts of operating a little bit differently. And what we do we try to emphasize on the care of our owners we try to offer customer service which is something that is hard to find in this industry.

CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – BRANSON’S NANTUCKET
Mr. Blacketer was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. Blacketer expressed that clients will sometimes experience buyer's remorse, "we find sometimes folks didn’t understand whether it was explained properly or not, and our people have five days to get out of it no questions asked. There are people who call who are well beyond those five days and we take each one on a case by case situation we refund a lot of people who are past the five days because they didn’t understand, or it was not explained properly so but those are the things we deal with the most. The most common one we deal with is buyer’s remorse."

We probably have one of the largest customer service staff of any type of company we have so our customers can talk to someone and not leave messages. We changed our reservation system in October to where reservations are made right here through the resort no longer through RCI so our customers can be assured an easier process. We record all our closings now to where we can go back and see if there was anything that wasn’t explained properly to the customer.

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Branson's Nantucket and general manager, Frank Blacketter, supplied credit card applications to unsuspected vacationers in order to get same day payments for vacation rental (timeshare) units. He and his company sold me a vacation unit that was never available for me to use. Whenever I tried to make reservations, there was always a shortage of units available for use or I was offered a place 18 miles from Branson. I was also invited back a 2nd time for a so called 'owner's update' and was told that I could voice my complaints during this time, but they actually tried to upsell me into buying a larger unit. After paying on this unit for about a year, I asked for my money back. When I called to complain, I was always promised a callback, but never received one until I got the BBB involved. Mr. Blacketter called me and tried to make things right, but I told him that I no longer trusted them and wanted out of the contract. He sent me papers to release me of the contract, but would not credit me back the $9,000.00 that was put on the credit card as full payment. After reading the release papers, I saw where he added a paragraph stating that no payments would be made by either party in releasing me of my contract. I did not sign the contract because I knew he was trying to keep my money. Again, I never got to use my unit for vacationing so why would I allow him to keep my hard earned money? Mr. Blacketter is a liar and a thief.
