Here are the most common things I hear from unhappy, frustrated timeshare owners. The developers continue to get away with them because of the infamous ‘oral representation’ clause.
>They said it was an investment
>They said it was easy to sell
>They said to fill out an application to see if we were eligible, but they opened a credit card and charged it for the purchase (or down payment)
>They said we could pay our maintenance fees with this new program, but the program didn’t exit
>They said we could sell our timeshare if we bought more points, but the program didn’t exist
>They said we could pay our maintenance fees by using a credit card, but we would have to charge $200,000 in a year to pay a $2,000 maintenance fee
>They said airfare would be included when we booked a stay
>The sales agent said the last agent did not sell us enough points
>They said we could rent our timeshare, but the resort does not allow this
>They said if we did not give up our deed and buy points, our children’s’ credit would be destroyed if something happened to us
>They said the sales presentation would only be 90 minutes but it turned into 5 hours
>They said if we didn’t change to another program our maintenance fees will go through the roof
>They said that I should not have bought a timeshare in Hawaii because they have hurricanes
>They said that I should not have bought a timeshare in Florida because they have hurricanes
>The sales agent said he would be my personal representative, but he never returned my calls or text messages.
We have heard from 551 families that have reported staggering accounts of deception. With the Nevada Real Estate Division spitting back a "You have no proof" letter and the Florida DBPR "Verbal Representations are hard to prove," there is in effect no regulation so timeshare sales agents can promise you a seat on the next trip to the moon and get away with it. Why is it other AGs have opened investigations based on a volume and pattern of complaints. We have 17 complaints against the same Las Vegas Agent and the company response "Oh well, he sold thousands of contracts. Never mind he was fired for lying and these 17 families were financially devastated except for the 12 resolved. Thank you for spreading the work as the court of public opinion is the only enforcement in Florida and Nevada, Florida Mecca Center with $70 billion a year in tourist dollars flowing in. Money talks.
