Has anyone purchased a timeshare that was pre-construction inventory that was not built within the timeframe listed? I have a relative that purchased Wyndham Desert Blue and the resort was under construction at one point and the construction stalled in 2009 and only recently began again. However, her contract shows a specific date that the…
We joined Silent Valley Club near Banning, California 4 years ago. Since then the RV resort, (which claims to NOT be a timeshare, but basically is – same scam) has gone down hill and is poorly managed. The amenities have been cut due to the hard economic times and gas prices, and they have over…
Recently we received the following message from a distraught timeshare owner trying to get rid of an unwanted timeshare they can no longer pay for: “I have not been able to find an honest timeshare resale company; have tried for several years. I am considering allowing it to go into default and foreclosure. I do…
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…
My husband and I joined Point to Point Timeshare in Vancouver BC, which changed to Westcoast Timeshare. We were asked if we owned a home to begin with we said no, but we did have a motor home (jokingly). The guy said good enough and signed us up on that. We were financed by Travelers…
We just did a presentation as part of a deal to get a discounted hotel stay. My first recommendation would be to bring a sweater or jacket as we found the air conditioning was pretty powerful. If you are in the U.S., check relevant state laws concerning timeshare sales as well as prohibited sales practices….
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…
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…
Yet another story from a reader that was misinformed during a timeshare presentation and is now stuck with a devalued timeshare they are unable to use. When will this nonsense end?! We were misled during our presentation to purchase timeshare. He sold us both points and weeks making it sound like a more attractive deal….
We bought this TS in 2003 and have been paying on it regularly except maintenance fees. In 2009, we received sporadic bills for maintenance fees. I called to get a payoff and was told they were written off. Never could get hold of the timeshare comapny. Did not receive any letter or calls. Never received…
