Bluegreen Corporation Bluegreen Timeshare, Bluegreen Vacation . Bluegreen used Blatant Lies, Fraud, Bait & Switch and Illegal Sales tactics to Con us into signing up with them. Boca Raton, Florida

How long do I have to rescind my timeshare? By law, you have five business days in Mexico to cancel the contract after you have signed it. If you decide to cancel the purchase within this period, notify the developer by email and certified mail. Keep the receipt as evidence you cancelled on time. You should receive a prompt refund of all the money you have paid, without any cancelling penalties, within fifteen business days

I think using the word fraud is very appropriate in describing my dealings with Bluegreen. And will continue to do so.  I am more than willing to go to court and tell a judge and jury exactly why I use fraud to describe this company, if Bluegreen wants to sue me.

Legalese isnt a language I understand easily. So we spent over an hour asking very specific questions so that we would understand what the contract would be saying about the different areas. I didnt realize timeshare sellers could lie though their teeth with no repercussions to their actions. If a real estate agent tried half the crap they pulled on us, they wouldnt have a job for long. They presented themselves as real estate agent equivalents and should be held accountable for what they say.

Yes, they specified financial investment.  Notice when I said instant equity?  They basically said it would be worth significantly more because the business is booming and the prices wouldnt continue to remain so low and in just a few years, it could be worth thousands more than we paid. 

Nice loop hole your company has come up with to still use the term to con people into believing it. You know perfectly well that when an average person hears great investment they automatically think financial. Its no skin off your nose if they dont ask for clarification, right?

And our main reason for buying wasnt to buy a financial investment. It was a perk, and one of the selling features, but that wasnt why we bought it. Doesnt negate the blatant lie.

Went to 2 different tax professionals and neither one of them said it could be used. Only the interest on a timeshare mortgage could be used. And since we got their Credit card initially, we didnt have a mortgage.

If the property taxes are neither directly billed to you nor separately stated on your maintenance fee billing, you may not be entitled to a deduction for the tax Which they are not specified on the statement. Even the article you posted has very specific guidelines as to how it can be claimed.

Years as opposed to a special deal of the day are 2 completely different scenarios. Of course something purchased years ago is cheaper than now. Seriously? Thats your justification for them telling me its a special price for that day? If I can walk in there and get the same price the next day that is where it is wrong, not years later.

 The maintenance fee does not necessarily go up every year; however it does go up. ??? Either it does or doesnt.  They shouldnt be saying it doesnt when it does. Its very simple. Be honest and you wont have angry customers.

No, we didnt read all 50(whatever amount) pages of legalese. The employee who sat with us with the signing of the contract summarized for us. Because she "understood" we had been there for 3 hours at that point, with a cranky 2 year old. And as I stated we assumed that the sales people wouldnt lie so horribly to us.

Believe me, it will never happened again.  We had asked if could sign papers the following day, and they basically said no, since the pricing and deal was for just that day. If we came back tomorrow, it would be different.

Honey, when you file any complaint, law suit, etc, make sure that you give detailed, and complete example of how they violated the Code Of Ethics.  Otherwise, they will not follow through with your complaint. The 5 page letter I sent is hopefully detailed enough. Its enough that the BBB has given them another F rating, and for the Illinois attorney general to open a case.

The rescission period was 7 days. We didnt find out about the fraud till months later. We were ignorantly content, till the truth was slapped against our faces. So we didnt read the contract, because again we trusted. Our naivety causes us much shame. You dont think we realize just how stupid we were?

The recording I was referring too isnt when we signed the contract. While we are disputing our contract, we are not paying them. When their employees called us to find out why we arent paying them, thats when she said Thats just the sales pitch.  In answering me when I said When we purchased the timeshare we were told that it was a great investment and that our maintenance fees would never go up.

Now lets go a couple steps further. Since you feel this company is so wonderful. Answer me this, why does the BBB have this to say about them?

Company Rating F

Our opinion of what this rating means:
We strongly question the companys reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the laws licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the companys industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.

(Lets emphasize a part shall we known for its fraudulent business practices. They sue me; I guess theyve got to sue the BBB as well.)

Bureau's Comments and Analysis of Company's Business: On January 26, 2010, this companies membership in the BBB was revoked by the BBBs Board of Directors due to: recent government action involving the businesses customer relations, which indicates a significant failure of the business to meet standards of conduct, expected of a BBB member

Why does Bluegreen have literally hundreds of complaints against them from sites like (((Redacted))), Ripoffreport.com,(((Redacted))) and every other complaint website out there?
