I sold my timeshare in September 2007 that I owned at Orange Lake Country Club in Kissimmee Florida and that’s when my nightmare started. I only owned it for a year before I realized what a big mistake I made and sold it the next year!
It turns out that the new owners actually own the timeshare thru Orange County (state of Florida), but my husband and I still own it at Orange lake. There was 1 witness signature on the Quit Claim deed, which was fine for the county records, but Orange Lake requires 2 witness signatures! So for the last 2 years I have tried to get this resolved, and the new owners will not do anything to fix this situation.
Meanwhile, the new owners were able to use the timeshare that we technically still own according to Orange Lake and also receive the bills and now letters stating that they are going to send us into foreclosure on the property! The recovery manager sent us a form to release the property back to Orange Lake because of the situation – only to receive a call 2 weeks later saying we couldn’t do this because the new owners also need to sign off on this (because although they don’t own at Orange Lake they do own under the county deed).
I am so afraid that they will send this in under our credit report and financially ruin us. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Stuck in limbo with this silly timeshare. Any suggestions?
Well, I’ve had RCI for 7 years. Don’t ask why. I couldn’t give you an answer. I have only been able to trade twice. Both times the trades were more business related than pleasure and financially, it made sense.
I have NEVER been able to trade to a property when I want or where I want. I’ve tried everything. Everything that I’ve been told ( by sales people ) are outright lies.
Unless you want to pay big bucks for prime locations and prime weeks, don’t believe any of the sales pitches from those trying to sell you a time share. ( and if you really want to pay up, you’d be better served just buying a condo somewhere ) This INCLUDES the Disney Vacation Club. Logic would have it that EVERYBODY wants to go to Disney and trading is, and I quote “never a problem”. Until it is.

I received a call from someone purporting to be from RCI. I have two timeshares and use RCI for exchanging purposes. They wanted to ‘explain a new program from RCI’.
We went, met with them, and to make a long story short, ended up buying a timeshare from this group, plus giving my two other timeshares plus over $8K in exchange for “Fisherman’s Cove Lakeside Resort”. They told us it takes about 60 days to process, when I called RCI (after more than 60 days) they did not have me as an owner of FCLR. I called the resort many times and get ‘leave message’ responses.

I have been an RCI member for around 16 years. My experiences have been mixed. Recently, I added another RCI unit and was given a 1 year membership. When RCI mixed up the paperwork, they created a new RCI account. I called and RCI then closed the new account and merged it with my new account. They then took away my 1 year. Three separate RCI reps over the course of a month told me they would straighten my account out and add the year to my existing membership.
Yesterday, the 4th rep told me that they were all wrong, my year was lost and that was RCI’s final answer. I have also had a bad experience in the past when I deposited a week in Aruba and was assured that I would “have absolutely no problem” getting a specific week and location that I wanted. Needless to say, that was a lie and I lost my week and ended up not getting the vacation that I wanted.

I have previously been very impressed with RCI accommodations. My partner has gold crown status, so imagine my dismay when we rolled up at Aldea Bonsai Ibiza to find less than great accomodations.
We were shown an apartmnt which had a balcony too small to accommodate patio furniture, dark (no sun) and overlooking a building site of clay rubble and stones!!! We finally got an apartment with an overgrown terrace, I trimmed bush the foilage was never removed.
Our facilities were as follows:
