Over ten years ago, We had the misfortune of responding to an offer for a three or four nights, don't really recall, at Westgate Resorts, for attending a 90 minute no obigation presentation of their timeshare program.   After attending the more than three hour high pressure presentation, we ended up signing the contract for a two bedroom with a loft condo (sleeps 6-8 not sure),   I wont even go into the lies that we were told during the presentation, The promise of being able to exchange for anywhere in the world, which never worked out, unless you wanted to trade your luxury condo for a hotel room, after paying maintainence fees, exchange fees and Interval dues, if there was availability at all.  But the simple fact that after paying off the mortgage, of over 10K.  The maintenence fees are now upto over 900 dollars per year.  After researching the Internet many superior properties are available for seven days for less money for the same week.  So where was the value, that they promised?  They basically, just take your money, and make the same money if you were to rent it outright.   And now I have a contract that is indefinite, can't get out of it.  If I refuse to pay, I get turned over to the collection agency.  I am open to suggestions on how to get rid of this nightmare.  But forget the scam artists that offer to sell your timeshare, but you have to put up $400 to $700 up front, then you never hear from them again.  

My advice to anyone that reads this if you have received such an offer don't take it, if you did take it RUN after 90 mins. 

DON'T BUY IT WILL BE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE.  Thats my experience, take it for what its worth. 

Their scam should be illegal.

Timeshare Fraud

AUTHOR: margaretsims90 - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, March 13, 2015

Thousands of International travelers, particularly from the US and Canada, have fallen victims of timeshare fraud while vacationing. Resort developers hire skilled salesmen to represent their timeshares as many different attractive packages, such as financial investments, deeded properties, or vacation clubs, just to increase their sales.
