I got the call yesterday that the 'performance' for the weekend left around $7500 on the bill. When I told them all my cards were maxed out and my bank accounts were overdrawn, they were gracious enough to drop it down to $5500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
This whole charging thing still leaves a horrible taste in my mouth because it doesn't make any logical sense. But I'm the moron who put his name on the dotted line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) At this point I doubt there is anything I can really do about it. There is around $1000 coming in from the silent auction. As I told a few people at the event, I really thought they were going to be a little more gracious about this.

My Last Email:
QUOTE I just wanted to check in. I've been asking the community for donations, but so far we've only raised an additional $250. There are some people who are looking for more information before they help out. I was wondering if you could get me the final list of rooms for my event, the occupancy numbers for the whole hotel, as well as average occupancy rates for a typical Fri, Sat, Sun and historic occupancy rates for Fathers Day weekend. My membership is a smart group of people, and they would like to see some hard numbers before they dig deep. On the other hand, if we could settle at $2000, then I could borrow enough to make that happen and you and I can both move on. $5500 is still looking very far away. Also, if you need verification of my financial situation, I'd be happy to give you the card information for my other credit cards and you can try charging them. I know that this is a very unfortunate situation, and I am extremely sorry. I wish I was in a better financial situation. I hope your director will understand my desperation and allow the Performance Fee to be reduced even further. Thanks. The Hotel's Reply: QUOTE Hello Mark ~ Attached is the final reservation list for your room block. The hotel will not be disclosing the current or past occupancy and historic rates you have requested, as the contract you have signed is a performance based contract. Performance damages are figured on performance of the agreement, not on hotel occupancy. Out of consideration of your situation the hotel has offered to reduce the original performance of $11,315.00 to $5,500.00 (over a 50% reduction in performance). If we were to calculate your performance based on occupancy the total performance due would be $7,130.00 Included with this email is the invoice and payment schedule for the performance due. We are asking that you submit the $2,000.00 by the end of this month with the remaining balance due in payments the month of July. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Lenae Here is the official WCR Room List: gprmlsts.pdf ( 8.47k ) Number of downloads: 285 Here is their payment schedule: 914.pdf ( 68.75k ) Number of downloads: 305 At this point I don't know any other option than to proceed with payment. I'm not good at handling these types of situations. There is a regional sales office in San Francisco CA (Tel: +1 (415) 773 xxxx, PM me) but I don't know if it will do any good. If anyone wants to call them, I suppose it can't hurt at this point. I'm very disappointed in myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
