We have a vacation membership with Sandos Int'l. in Playa del Carmen. Before we signed up, we negotiated some very good terms which we had written into the contract. After nine years, the resort has decided that they can no longer afford to honor the contract, so they've just unilaterally cancelled it! They said they were going to send us cancellation paperwork and a "partial refund", but after almost 2 mos and several follow up emails from me, we've received nothing except the notification that our membership is cancelled effective immediately. We have never violated our contract and our maintenance fees are paid through the end of this year, so this is beyond illegal and ridiculous.
We paid a substantial amount for this membership. Even though this is a Mexican contract for 25 years, we have an option to extend it for another 25 years (just ONE of the many things we negotiated), so teh contract is quite valuable and we're not willing ot just walk away without a fight.
I've contacted the Profeco's office, but it's taking a long time and so far they've been little help so I'm wiling to spend a few dollars and hire an attorney to represent us. However, that's easier said than done and I'm having trouble finding a contact for a LOCAL attorney in Playa del Carmen who speaks decent English.
Can anyone in the TUG group help me? Do any of you know people who live full time in Playa who might be able to refer me to a good attorney?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me!
