Attorney General Steve Carter Permanently Bans Texas Travel Company from Operating in Indiana National Vacations, Inc. Sold Travel Club Memberships Door-to-Door Attorney General Steve Carter Permanently Bans Texas Travel Company from Operating in Indiana �Customers of the travel club will be notified of their ability to cancel contracts and receive refunds via a mail correspondence in the next month,� Attorney General Steve Carter said. �Indiana law is clear about the disclosures and right to cancel ability when it comes to door-to-door sales and all businesses must comply.� The attorney general�s office investigation revealed that Arlington, Texas based Horizon Travel and its owner, David Vavro sold travel club services and products door-to-door in Indiana during 2004 and 2005. Consumers were not provided with the required notice of their right to a three-day cancellation period as required by Indiana law. Sales documents provided by Horizon Travel actually indicated that the Indiana statute does not provide for an automatic period for cancellation, which is contrary to the law. The company worked from a hotel in Hamilton county and sold travel club memberships between $2,000 and $6,000. Horizon Travel has refunded more than $62,000 to 20 customers in response to the attorney general�s inquiry. The total amount of additional refunds is unknown. The agreement requires that the company provide refunds within ten days of receiving the customers notice to cancel. The company may continue to do business with those customers that do not wish to cancel their contracts. The agreement does not constitute an admission of guilt. Media
