Timeshare consumer complaints regarding exchange companies.
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…
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…
Timeshare owners are not owners, they are suckers. The Carlsbad Timeshare has been a nightmare of an investment.

Does anyone have experience stopping payment on ResortCom Timeshare, specifically the Veilla Del Palmar Resort? A reader of our site posed the following question about foreclosing on ResortCom timeshare: My husband and I purchased a time share several years ago and are still paying on the outrageous balance plus maintenance fees. We have recently found…
A reader poses an interesting question he wanted to share with our readers: Why is the government doing nothing about timeshare scams? Time shares are not real estate or investments, they are nothing but empty space. In addition to my first question, how many time share owners does it take to keep up the maintenance…
I own in Belize and when I went there this year to use my points to stay they gave me a bill for several thousand dollars as though I were renting. Now that I refuse to pay the bill they will not let me book this years reservation. The first day I arrived there was…
