    Status:
    Unanswered
    My husband and I submitted a Deposit of $6961.84 on February 10, 2020 for a trip to South Africa in October 2020, Due to the Covid pandemic we were unable to travel and were told at that time we would not lose our deposit if we rescheduled for a later time to which we did for October 2021, again due to Covid we were unable to travel and was told again we could reschedule once again which we agreed to this year. Throughout this process we have been trying to reach out to DSA and have left numerous voice messages as well as emails, but they have not returned calls or messages. I reached out to them at one point and told them due to the fact they are M.I.A. we just want to be reimbursed our deposit. Again, no contact has been made to us. Even if they didn't reimburse us, we should be traveling to South Africa next week as far as our previous agreement went, but no contact has even been attempted on their part.

    DSA/SSA Vacations I gave DSA/SSA vacations a -1star only because to post with BBB you have to or I would have given them a minus1Star! DSA/SSA is a fraud with *******************, ***********************************. We each purchased **************** to protect our Vacation to South Africa in 2020. I and family members have sent information to both companies in an afford to resolve this vacation which, was suppose to be our Family Vacation of a life time. Which was completely ruined by lack of communication, handling of monies, incorrect or no information giving. Giving clients and Travel consultant wrong information and not returning calls with updates on travel.We were told by ******************* Financial Manager that DSA/SSA would refund our monies and no need to contact Travel ******************** If we had any questions about the Refund Claim Agreement, contact *******... Who never replied or answered her cell or business phone. We sent paperwork to Travel guard ************* and DSA/SSA to confirm this over and over again. At this point and time if we do not get all of our monies refunded we will have to resort to Litigation Court. We don't even know what date if any that DSA/SSA have us schedule for cause we had *** agents call the numbers they have for contact, ring or no answer? Please response to this urgent message ASAP. DSA/SSA Vacations of ****** know matter what you change your name to you are out of over $10,000.00 since 2019 to Present.Regards,****************
