KIMBERLING INN AND RESORT - Kimberlng City, MO
Just returned from Missouri and drove through Kimberling Inn, it appears only two or the motel type units were damaged in the tornado. I looked at all the other condos and they seemed fine. Stay tuned for pictures. I just wondering if they are intending to rebuild the motel type or assess the owners to build nice new townhomes. I wil be forwarding information to my Kimberling Inn clients.

Timeshare Refunds More Common Than You Think
Most timeshare resorts will refund a member if it means stopping lots of bad publicity and a nasty lawsuit that will make public, their dirty little secrets.
They don't want you to know this, and will make you sign a "gag" agreement not to disclose any settlement. And they will sue you if you break the agreement.
This is why we are so successful, we research every aspect of the resort, from business dealings to background checks on salespeople. We find the information that will get you, your money back.

Wild Rose Vacations Charged Under Consumer Protection Laws
Below is an article on yet another travel club in trouble. You might wonder why these travel clubs operate as they do. It boils down to the creed most travel clubs seem to follow; most members will write the cost of a membership off to a hard lesson learned. They know the biggest percentage of the members will be to embarrassed or afraid of wasting good money after bad by trying to file a lawsuit against them. That's what they count on, there is so much money made by these high pressure salespeople it is still worth the fines and the few refunds they deal with. You can successfully sue these guys.
Edmonton... The Alberta government has charged Wild Rose Vacations travel club for deducting money from consumers’ accounts without their permission, failing to provide refunds as ordered, and misleading consumers.
“Alberta has clear rules to protect the rights of consumers who deal with travel clubs,” said Heather Klimchuk, Minister of Service Alberta, responsible for consumer protection. “There are serious consequences for businesses that fail to follow those rules.”
Wild Rose Vacations and director John (Jack) Kenneth Purdy are charged under the Fair Trading Act and the Travel Clubs Regulation with the following offences between March and December 2009 (the allegations have not been proven in court):
• three counts of committing an unfair practice by deducting $129 from members’ bank accounts without their consent;
• five counts of failing to provide refunds within 15 days of contract cancellation by consumers;
• five counts of failing to comply with a May 15, 2008 Director’s Order to provide refunds to consumers within 15 days of cancellation;
• two counts of misleading consumers by stating that agency access fees were not refundable;
• one count of misleading a consumer about their rights by requiring the return of travel club items, including a binder, prior to refund;
• one count of misleading a consumer by stating that membership dues would not increase in the next five years.
Service Alberta first issued a Director’s Order to Wild Rose Vacations in 2006 requiring the company cease operating until it obtained a travel club licence. Wild Rose Vacations obtained a licence shortly after. A second Director’s Order was issued in 2008 requiring the company provide refunds within the legislated 15 day period to consumers who cancelled their contracts.
Consumers continued to complain about the company’s practices, leading to the charges. Misleading consumers is an offence under the Fair Trading Act. Consumers are also entitled to cancel travel club contracts within 10 days of signing. The business must provide a refund within 15 days of cancellation.
