Frequently Ask Questions

Not all timeshare people use lies and tricks to sell you, but there is a lot of them that purposely leave information out and lie, once they have you signature on the contract they don’t care about you. I have been collecting owner complaints since 2008, there are hundreds of pages. And it’s easy to see these lies are being told at all of their resorts all over the world.

85% of people who buy into timeshares just accept the fact they’ve been shafted and chalk it up to a hard lesson learned, the timeshare companies expect to refund the other 15%, it’s the cost of doing business, we just have to bully them into putting you in that 15%.

FAQ
·         How does Timeshare Tricks work?
            To start with, we will have a conversation over the phone or by email at which time I will be able to determine whether I can get you out of your timeshare contract.      After I’ve received your initial payment, I will send you a questionnaire about your experience with the timeshare company. There are a number of letters that need to be written to the timeshare company informing them of your intent and what you plan to do if they refuse to give you what you’re demanding. Your questionnaire will give me the information I need to get the letter writing process started.
            While that initial communication is taking place, I will conduct a tremendous amount of research on your timeshare company’s history and reputation.
            I will conduct background checks on any and all employees listed on your contract, as well as any you remember speaking with both at the time of sale and afterwards. Often these employees have criminal histories that the timeshare companies don’t want to be associated with.
            You will send all of this information in printed form to the timeshare company to show them that you’re serious. Usually these scare tactics are enough to make them comply, but if not…
            I will write more letters for you, to the press, to the better business bureau, to every other official state and federal office that could possibly be related to this type of fraud, including the attorney generals of all states involved. In most cases, it doesn’t go as far as a law suit with the attorney general, but if it does, I’ll be right there with you.

·       
  What is the fee for Timeshare Tricks’ services?
            The total fee for successfully getting you out of your timeshare contract is $400 plus a 9% commission of the money you are refunded.. You pay $425 upfront to cover my costs of doing many hours of research, and background checks on multiple names. Once you’re out of your contract, you pay me the 9% commission. That price includes getting your money refunded.
            Occasionally a client will decide not to continue with the battle and will accept to be let out of their contract without a refund. That is completely understandable and totally your choice, but should you decide to settle without getting your money back, you only pay $200 dollars.
            If your timeshare company offers to let you out of your contract, but refuses to give you a refund and you don’t want to give up, I will continue to work with you until you get your money back – I will not give up unless you ask me to.



·         Why should I have to pay anything upfront?

            I can only get you out of your timeshare contract if you are a victim of misrepresentation. Your upfront fee not only covers my initial expenses, but it also assures that you are prepared to do your part by being 100% honest about your experience with the timeshare company. The only client I was unable to get out of their contract was one who told me he had never been able to use his timeshare, but who, in fact, had been able to use it with no problem. When the truth came out, I was forced to drop the case because he was not a victim of misrepresentation. The upfront fee discourages people from using my services as a way to get out of paying a bill they no longer want. It also ensures that I’m able to get your background checks and research done without delay. It ensures that neither of us is taken advantage of.

            Note: If you have owned your timeshare for years, used it regularly, and suddenly want   out, I cannot help you. But if you were lied to and misled, I can help.

  1. Where are you located at? I have purchased Coast to coast grand getaways travel club, which I find their price is even higher than what i can find from internet. I bought June 5 Sunday 2011 at Florida, had tried to cancel it on June 9th 2011 back to their office, I was told too late, they were not going to cancel it. I am contacting some of the attonies here in Philadelphia trying to sue this company. Any suggestions?
    Thank,

  4. Hi. I live in Canada, and got into a Royal Holiday timeshare in Dominican Republic with an EXbf years ago. Can I just stop paying the monthly fees and yearly fee, and it will lapse?? Will it affect my credit rating since I am not in the US? Thanks for any info.

  5. We were coerced into purchasing additional points in Oceanside, CA. When we said no, they brought in "the closer" We were promised that if we bought additional points, that we would never have to pay a maintenance fee again and could make additional money ($5,000. to $7,000) a year to pay towards our contract. PROBLEM The company they referred us to has paid maintenance fees, not sure how much, and we have never received a dime on top of that. We're told that we're owed $168. Haven't even seen that after several months. When we vacation in Las Vegas, their sales people asked if we were recording the conversation and said they had never seen us or talked to us while we were there. We were supposed to have a meeting with these same two reps the next morning, which we did, but they practically pushed us out the door and said to call Wyndham attorneys. The day before, one of the reps said he would at least get all of our points back. Wyndham has made an offer on one of our contracts, but not the other. The offer is ridiculous.

  6. I have been a Worldmark owner since 1999. I did use and enjoy the timeshares. In July 2012 I spent a week at the Indio, CA site. After being harassed to conduct a "survey" for a few minutes I met with a salesman. I am an older single woman and I explained to him that I was unemployed and could not afford nor need any more shares. I told him that I intended to pay off the balance of my contract with savings to save the interest and that was all I could afford. He became very aggressive and brought his manager to sit with us. They both told me that if I would just use the money to upgrade I would be eligible to exchange my share for some high end vacation spots which I could rent out and pay the bill. After hours I signed. A year and $13,000 later, I am still unemployed and have no choice to break my contract, ruining my credit and totally losing all the credits I have paid for all these years. I am just sick.

  8. I owe Monarch Grand Vacation points at 9 resorts. Diamond wants me to convert to them. They threatened higher maint.fees with Monarch I I stay. I am paid up with Monarch. I got their Sampler for $2000K for 18 months. This was to extend the court order to offer conversion from Monarch to Diamond. I am still withing the Rescind time, if I send it today or tomorrow. I've read how Diamond maint. fees go up all the time also. And, complaints after complaints about not able to t book any rooms. I know they can't force me to sell my Monarch points. I am happy with the 9 resorts in Monarch Grand Vacation package. Diamond sounds like a villain. Any advise?

    1. Christal, I see web pages where testimonies are plastered all over it and the first thing I wonder, are they for real or did someone in the office type them up. I can offer three reasons I think shows I am not a scam, 1. I can give references of clients 2. I use Paypal and have an excellent record with them 3. I would ask for a lot more money up front, other places that help you get out of your timeshare want 1500 -2500 upfront. That's the scam.

  10. I believe I was just scammed by Book and Sea. They charged almost $10,000 promising 200-300% discounts. The actual discounts aren't anything close, in fact they are very similar to the prices I found on Expedia. Can you help?

    1. If you purchased in the U.S. then U.S. laws protects you, if you bought in Canada or another country then those laws protect you from misrepresentation. If the timeshare you bought from in another country is hardhearted in the US the both countries will back you.

  12. Same as here in the U. S. Especially if you purchased a timeshare in the states

    1. Hi John. I have gotten every client out that I have worked for with the exception of one. He told me he owned for years and could never use it, it turns out he had been using it every year as Wyndham proved that. I don't take every case that comes along, I dont want to waste either my time or yours
