Are you going to Mexico to meet a lawyer? US Law, and US attorneys cannot help you in Mexico.

From what I understand, the maintenance fees are managed by a US company that is subject to US laws. If they are able to enforce a contract here then they are open a lawsuit in the courts here. Attempting to get money back from original purchase would have to be done there. When I send the demand for debt validation to the collection agency they will have 30 days to validate and disclose a US company and address or the debt will become invalid and unenforceable.

No, they want $2500 before they will talk to me or even confirm if such a thing exists.

id certainly pursue that further...express your desire to pay the 2500 but only if the membership is cancelled after.

Thank you for contacting ResortCom International. Unfortunately we are unable to assist with your inquiry, as your account has been assigned to a third party collections agency. Please direct any inquiries to Monterey Financial at 1-800-456-2225. We apologize we are unable to answer any questions while your account is assigned to them."

Its difficult to pursue or express desires when in 2 phone calls and 2 emails they will not not talk to you or discuss your account in any way until you pay.

well unfortunately it sounds like you are a bit too late to even pay and get you out of collections if they have already turned you over to them.
