Complaint Review: QUORUM TRAVEL INTERNATIONAL BOCA RATON FLORIDA - BOCA RATON Florida

Please be advised, that I am an employee of Quorum Travel Intl. and would like to set the record straight and let the public know what is factual & accurate and what is not factual & accurate... pertaining to what is being reported by Mr. Robert Mxxxxx in his three recent reports filed with Rip Off Report . Com concerning Quorum Travel Intl. NUMBER# 1 : Mr. Mxxxxx is being true and accurate as to his ascertion(s) that certain employees of Quorum Travel Intl. have not been able to cash their checks recently and that some may have reported said NSF checks to the authorities. However what Mr. Mxxxxx forgets to mention is the reason for this; and that this unfortunate situation is through no fault of Mr Rodriguez's or any of the other owners of Quorum Travel Intl. whatsoever. The truth is that their Merchant Account was 'frozen' by their merchant banking institution without cause (exceeded monthly billing amount limits unknowingly) and they thought they would have this situation resolved... or in the alternative... have another visa/mastercard account procured fast enough to continue to operate while making good on any NSF checks. To date... said alternative merchant account is still forthcoming and the owners are still working on having the closed account re-opened. Number# 2 : Mr Mxxxxxx stated in a filed report that Quroum Travel Intl. 'was selling pots and pans' out of an office next to the one he worked in. THIS IS A BLATANT LIE!!!! Never has anything been sold out of these offices... no less 'pots & pans'... that wasn't travel related and covered by and under Quorum's state licensing. I guess Mr. Mxxxxxx just wasn't satisifed enough by his feable attempt(s) at besmirching the company and several of it's employees and felt that adding this BLATANT LIE to his diatribe would add to his cause! DON'T YOU KNOW ROBERT... BY NOW AT YOUR AGE... THAT IT NEVER HELPS TO LIE!!!??? NUMBER# 3 : Mr. Mxxxxxx's ascertions that x-felons and people who are currently living at Halfway Houses work for Quorum Travel Intl. is in fact true and factual. We have all kinds of individuals working for us. However, how and why is this so bad???? Doesn't everyone have the right to work and earn a living and not to be discriminated against because of their skin color, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, disabilities or past indiscretions. Seems to me... that as long as you have paid your 'debt to society' and are in the process of rebuilding your life and becoming a productive citizen, that you are entitled to work and earn a living without being spit upon by the likes of Mr. Mxxxxxx! SHAME ON YOU ROBERT!!!! NUMBER# 4 : Mr. Mxxxxxx consistantly refers to Quorum Travel Intl. and it''s facilities as a 'boiler room'! This could not be further from the truth as the offices are state of the art, the surroundings and furnishings top notch and they are located in a luxurious executive building in Boca Raton! Furthermore, the rent on Quorum's 'boiler room' is a paltry $15,000 per month! Subsequently, if this is what Mr. Mxxxxx considers a 'boiler room'... we should then use his hypothesis to make a comparison as to where he lives at home with his Father at 50 years old! The true meaning of a PIG STY according to his own professed scale!!! NUMBER# 5 : Mr. Mxxxxxx's statement that if you work for Quorum Travel Intl. that 'eventually you won't get paid' is also a LIE; and I challenge Mr. Mxxxxxx to produce... in support of these unsupported accusations... one piece of evidence or one individual whom has has not gotten paid prior to their merchant account being frozen in June 2008 and the subsequent problems this has caused. Anything from the Police or the Labor Board... who handles these matters... would suffice! NUMBER# 6 : Mr. Mxxxxxx's ascertions that people are fired for simply calling in sick and then is then somehow used as a ruse to not pay them is another LIE. Only someone who is consistently late, out sick at least once or twice a week, causing problems in the office, not performing up to standards, constantly leaving early or borrowing money off of everyone including the security guards in the building will be... and who could blame the company for doing so??? Furthermore, I again challenge Mr. Mxxxxx to produce one shread of evidence or an individual who has not been paid the full amount they were owed after they were let go!!! Again... anything from the Police or the Labor Board... who handles these matters... would suffice! I also would like to add for the record, that Quorum Travel Intl. is a fully licensed and bonded travel agency with The State of Florida; and that the club memberships they offer for sale, to the general public, are in fact a very good deal and do in fact save our customers a great deal of money or Quorum Travel Intl. wouldn't be in business for to long. Simple logic would substantiate this ascertion... as who would be able to stay in business if they were only later having to refund everyone they had sold to, due to a sub par and/or misrepresented product! In closing, I would also like to state for the record exactly why Mr. Mxxxxxxx was fired and what in fact is motivating him to make all these unsubstantiated claims and tell these lies. It was after several of his female co-workers came to his imediate Manager Tom Veihmeyer and complained that he had and was continuing to 'inappropriately touch them', 'had dry humped each of them in their chairs while showing them his favorite sexual position' and leaving several of them sexually explicit notes that we had to fire him! He even left one of them... a receipt from an X-Rated Video that he had rented with a thank you note written on it!!! One can only imagine and wonder where and how Mr. Mxxxxxx was brought up and whether or not he has any morals and values whatsoever??? His inappropriate behavior certainly attests that he does not!!!
