Complaint Review: Travelbridge Jeremy Detweiler - Scottsdale Arizona

The company is not owned exclusively by Donald Eastvold. 49% of the ownership is Ken Lacy. He was a former employee CFO, and inherited his portion when Mr. Eastvold Sr. died. Mr. Lacy has a very comfortable life and is very well off. He is legally just as responsible for any monies owed to members, employees and so on as Donald Eastvold. His deep pockets are deeper than Donald Eastvold.

I publicly apology to Jeremy Detweiler, I did not mean to assassinate his person. What I was trying to get a cross is, Jeremy Detwiler is just a person with no power for this company. (He is only passing along what is told to him). What people need to do is do no except what they are told, keep pushing, and fighting. Again do not except what people like Jeremy are telling you, go after DONALD. He is the one behind the closed doors, and driving the Big White Caddie

I too am a former employee of Travelbridge Partners, LTD., but unlike the previous employee have a different views as to the character of aforementioned past and present employees. First the correct name for the owner of the company is DONALD EASTVOLD JR. He inherited the company originally founded in Palm Springs, CA upon the death of his father several years ago. Also the VP previously mentioned, Pete Vincent, no longer works for the company. It needs to be clarified that the allegations leveled against the character of Jeremy Detwiler by the previous former employee are immature, groundless and are not based on fact, only the opinion of a digruntled former co-worker. He has done nothing to deserve what was written. There is nothing wrong with an employee working in different areas within a company, we all multi-tasked from time to time even Brenda...I'm sure all former employees have unresolved feelings regarding past positions, but it's not necessary to libel others to make ourselves feel more important...

Mike and Brenda: Thank you very much for your comments and suggestions! I also thank for all of the poeple who care about this and contribute to the Rip-Off Reports on Travelbridge! Hopefully, we can get organized to file a class action law suit agains Travelbridge as David in Schertz, Texas (7/13/02 Rip-Off Report)and the one on 4/25/02 Rip-Off Report suggested. Mike

Jeremy Detweiler is a flunky with the company; he is a no body. All Jeremy is doing is passing along information to you people. Jeremy can not make any decisions on his own; he doesnt have that much gray matter between his ears to do so. Jeremy started out in the ticket debt, putting together invoices and putting ticket stock in the machine. When the bright minds of this company decided they were going to move the ticket dept. to Palm Springs, Jeremy did the mail. Then Jeremy got tired of doing the mail and moved over to the telemarketing side in Tempe. You need to go back and start to demand to talk to Don Eastervalt or Peter and only them. Do not talk to people like Jeremy all they are flunkies, they are collecting a paycheck. Start to show up at their door and go to small claims court, do not let this stop you yet. You just have to fight back harder, they will back down. Dont sue the company sue Don the owner, he is the owner with the deep pockets. He is the one with the big cars and bigger house and the place in Mexico (thats what I have heard)

Sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately I think the window of opportunity for getting money back from these crooks has probably closed. Although the solution was far from perfect the legal system did succeed in effectively shutting down this crooked operation and providing some level of compensation to the victims....although most would agree that it was far too small....in fact only about 3 cents on the dollar for those that got refunds. The bad news was that the company realized its exposure to lawsuits especially in Texas and took steps to limit its exposure mainly by shutting down most of its operations. So what can be done? I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think there is much that the legal system in the state of Texas can do at this point and I am unsure of consumer protection laws in the other states that Travelbridge operated in. There may not even be enough left of Travelbridge to sue at this point. Are the owners and executives of Travelbridge, Inc crooks? Morally speaking I don't think there is much doubt about that or thier intentions to use deception to coerce you to part with your money. Legally speaking I'm not so sure it would be easy to prosecute and somebody would have to take the lead to do that. I hope that somebody steps forward and explores those legal options because I think that most of these people will resurface somewhere else with a new scheme.
