BUYERS BE - AWARE

Timeshares and Travel Clubs, by law, are required to send you home with all the paperwork after signing. Including a pages that tells you how to cancel the purchase within a set number of days.

They don't want to to see that document. But when you get back home or to your hotel you discover there is no paperwork, so when you call the sales office, everyone you talk to is unavailable.

The resorts and clubs are getting pretty shifty in following the law. Below is from Westgate Resorts. In every buyers kit, they have a hidden pocket that you don't notice.


 So check that kit. I may save you a lot of headaches.

Arizona settlement releases time-share owners from contracts with Diamond Resorts

he deadline for Diamond Resorts time-share holders to file a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General's Office in order to be released from their agreement as part of a consumer-fraud settlement is coming up next week.
The $800,000 settlement between the Diamond Resorts Corp. and the Arizona Attorney General's Office was reached earlier this year after hundreds of customers accused the corporation of using "deceptive sales practices" during time-share sales presentations, according to Mia Garcia, Attorney General's Office spokeswoman.
Some of the alleged deceptions are related to the amount maintenance fees could increase annually, consumers' ability to resell time-shares to the public, the existence of Diamond buy-back programs, consumers' ability to rent our their time-shares for a profit, and discounts on other travel needs, Garcia said in a statement.
Consumers must file complaints with the office by May 23 in order to be considered for the Relinquishment Remedy Program, which permits qualifying consumers to return their time-shares to Diamond Resorts without any further obligation.
In order to qualify for the program:   
  • Consumers must have purchased Diamond memberships between Jan. 1, 2011, and Jan. 23, 2017.
  • Consumers must have either made their purchase in Arizona or have been living in Arizona at the time of the purchase.
  • Complaints must include a detailed description of any misrepresentations, false or deceptive statements, and/or false promises that Diamond's employees made during the sales presentation.
Along with taking back time-shares, the settlement requires Diamond to change its business practices and requires the corporation to make specific disclosures during sales presentations.

Garcia said this is the first time Diamond Resorts has been investigated for consumer fraud and that the office has received more than 500 complaints so far regarding the matter.
In a statement, Attorney General Mark Brnovich gave the following tips for consumers attending a time-share presentation:
  • If offered a free gift or tickets, know that most time-share offers require a person to attend a lengthy sales presentation to receive them.
  • Remember that time-share companies can't require you to attend a presentation lasting longer than two hours in order for you to receive your free gift. 
  • Leave if the presentation is too high pressure.
  • Read any contract before you sign it and have an attorney review it, making sure to include any promises made to you by the salesperson in the contract.
  • Find out your ability to cancel the contract or the right to cancel.
Those who qualify for the relinquishment program can file a complaint online or by calling the Attorney General's Office at 602-542-5763 in Phoenix, 520-628-6504 in Tucson or 1-800-352-8431 outside the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas.

GETTING YOU OUT AND YOUR MONEY BACK

If your timeshare or travel club salesperson lied to you and misrepresented what you were buying, then you can get out of your contract and get your money back.

I have been collecting owner complaints for years where the salespeople have lied to clients. Sothe resorts no longer can use the excuse "you must have gotten a rogue salesperson" we are sorry but too bad. Not when there are hundreds of innocent owners at all of their different resorts telling the same lies. Or omitting information that would have stopped you from buying.

I can help, I do all of the work. Gathering the research, ordering court records and running background checks on the salespeople.

All you have to do is print, sign and mail. I am with you until the end. No matter how many letters. We won't take no for an answer.

The Florida Attorney General recently shut down six travel companies that made deceptive claims about vacation club memberships.

BBB: Warning About Timeshare Presentations

Better Business Bureau timeshare warning about high pressure presentations.

Time can stand still during timeshare presentations

By The Better Business Bureau
Timeshares continue to be a popular choice for vacationers who want to get away from the familiar and enjoy an exotic locale. Investment in one, however, should only be done after careful consideration of the different options and of all the factors involved.
Your Better Business Bureau warns that you should proceed with caution. A favored tactic of the timeshare industry is an intense marketing pitch, given with the promise of a reward if you sit through it. Typically, these sales pitches can last from two to three hours, but sometimes even longer. They are hoping for a quick, spur-of-the-moment decision from you, made under the influence of their high-pressure sales staff – exactly the type of thing that BBB always warns against.

BE PART OF THE 15%

Timeshare Resorts know they will have to refund and cancel 15% of their owners. That's just the cost of doing business.

Sounds like a large number until you realize 85%of owners are stuck with their timeshare purchase. Granted some owners actually love their timeshares.

Frequently Asked 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.

Marriott timeshare sales are racketeering scheme, new lawsuit says


Proposed class action targets Marriott, First American, Orange County FL
Marriott Vacation Club's timeshare sales are actually an illegal "racketeering" scheme, a new proposed class-action lawsuit says.
The lawsuit takes aim at Marriott's points program, which replaced traditional sales of timeshare weeks at specific resorts in 2010. According to the suit, Marriott timeshare customers pay fees associated with owning real estate — such as closing costs and recording fees — but don't actually own any real estate.

TIMESHARE BILL OF RIGHTS



“Moving timeshare from exploiting its customers and members to servicing its customers and members. Everybody wins”.

A Timeshare Tricks client is working on getting changes passed in the timeshare industry. He has a Petition at www.timesharerights.com, this petition is for the State Attorney Generals across the United States.  Take time to sign this, it is going to take each and every one of us to make a change that will protect honest, hardworking people.

Timeshare Bill of Rights For Members
Timeshare companies and their antecedents (i.e. maintenance

fee termination companies) have become increasing exploitive

of timeshare customers and members. I propose protection for

TS consumers now and in the future for these services.


1. Timeshare points should not be equated with real estate,

because they have little or no value in that area.

2. Maintenance or membership fees should be for use only

and limited to a 10-year span.

3. Timeshare companies should recognize that a customer

has free will and human rights and he/she can decide to be

member of a timeshare club or not.

4. Anything related to maintenance or membership fees must

be explained and understood.

5. Exit policy for members must be known and any fee

associated with it should be made known as well.

6. Complaints concerning timeshare should be handled by an

ombudsman of the state.

7. All of these issues would be retroactive from the date of

implementation.

Be Part of the 15%

Timeshares and Travel Clubs know they are going to have to refund 15% of owners. Its the cost of doing business. Sounds like a large group unless you think about the fact that 85% of owners will continue to pay for the timeshare. And they will spend thousands to sell it, which works into thousands of dollars down the drain.

Not everyone who wants out can get out, but if you were the victim of misrepresentation, you can force them to let you out and refund your money.

TIMESHARE TRICKS OR AN ATTORNEY

Why should you use Timeshare Tricks over an attorney?

An attorney will charge a couple of thousand dollars to start. If they do the time consuming task of gathering research they will charge by the hour, then they will take a portion of your winnings.

Joining a class action usually gets results, takes a couple of years and the law firm is the only one who makes money. 

Timeshare Tricks will charge a small amount to cover the cost of buying records, we will do the research and background checks to make certain when we ask for your release from the contract and your money back, the timeshare will know it is better to pay you off and shut you up. Then once you are out and have your money in hand Timeshare Tricks get a small commission. With Timeshare Tricks you may be out of this mess in as quick as 60 days. Plus we will send them a Dispute Notification alerting them you are disputing the purchase and you no longer authorize them to withdraw from your checking account or credit card account.

As soon as you sign up using the "Buy Now" button on the right I will send you a Dispute Notification and a Questionnaire that will help you to remember the sales presentation and what lies you were told.

Do you own a week instead of points at a Diamond Resort and find they keep making you attending the "owners updates", which turns out to be a sales pitch to sell you more points.
