On December 14, 2014 I attended a timeshare presentation. I agreed to a 90 minute presentation. For over 4 hours I told the sale representative I did not want to purchase a timeshare and after meeting with a 4th individual, we agreed to purchase a vacation package based on the information they provided, both written and verbal. On 1/7/2015, I received the information on the package and reviewed the benefits. Unfortunately, the sales representative misrepresented the the products and services. It was explained I could use $3000 in savings point to purchase any type of product I could find on vacationpriveleges.com. In addition, I was promised the price would be equal or less than the price of our current timeshare. The point system does not provide any option to purchase merchandise and the offers do not meet the "Best Value Guarantee" #7 of the signed contract. I am able to find better deals for vacations packages, car rentals, and cruises on other websites. Also, I was told I would have a larger inventory of timeshares to exchange. I have Interval International as my exchange company and based on reviewing the vacationpriveleges.com website, I have a larger selection of exchange options with my current exchange company. I was charged $5300.00 and gave them the current timeshare I own and in return was mislead and given a product with much less value than I currently have with Interval International.

#3 Consumer Comment
Timeshare Scam
AUTHOR: margaretsims90 - ()
SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 24, 2015
The timeshare industry has been into the lion’s mouth for the last couple of years, and it has generated lots of controversy and discussions in many forums and blogs on the web. However, since we’re living an economic downturn, anyone would expect that the timeshare sales collapse, but instead of that the sales seem to be increasing… but this comes with a trap: timeshare scams are increasing too.
#2 Consumer Suggestion
timeshare scam
AUTHOR: Austin Aaronson, Esq. - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 19, 2015
The grievance expressed here reflects a very common problem that continues to frustrate many timeshare owners. Often promises are made during the sales process verbally and in glossy literature touting the opulent surroundings and accommodations in exotic locations throughout the world. However, when you finally book and travel to whatever site may be available - if anything at all - you find yourself in something less appealing. The prices that you pay annually could easily have bought you a four star resort with unlimited resort destination options. When you complain about it to the resort developer, you are directed to read the fine print in the contract full of disclaimers and waivers that purport to justify this bait and switch. What's worse, there doesn't seem to be any way out.
You owe it to yourself to obtain sound, competent legal representation by counsel with over twenty-five years experience in contract litigation. You will be made aware of your rights in addressing the situation with professionalism and integrity. In many cases we can obtain a legal rescission of the contract so as to get you out from under that oppressive lifelong timeshare obligation. At the very least, there often exist good faith legal grounds to warrant a formal dispute invoking federal consumer law to protect your credit with the national bureaus. We'll be happy to discuss your rights free of charge at 407-644-1336. You may also visit our website at http://www.aaronsonlawgroup.com.
