money talks these days....ad money makes the world go round!

saw a quote the other day where it said something like "folks wont spend 5min researching a financial decision, but will spend 15min taking a facebook survey to see what kind of potato they are"

sadly all of this press/publicity on the airwaves, television, and print just makes more folks believe in the legitimacy of third party exit companies.

Sometimes, I go on Wesley’s Facebook page and tell TS owners, particularly Wyndham, they should consider deedback programs such as Wyndham Ovations. My posts get deleted. What gives? I thought Wesley cared about Ts owners and their finances!

the tug account is also blocked from replying to their posts on facebook as well...

its so incredibly frustrating to see hundreds of wyndham/worldmark/bluegreen/holiday inn/etc owners request help getting out of their paid off timeshares.

Interesting that Wesley, which touts themselves s being a consumer rights group, is deleting Facebook posts that can only help Timeshare owners. Of course they do so because that knowledge will keep money in the timeshare owner’s pocket instead of being paid to Wesley.

much like with all related businesses in the timeshare industry, if you actually told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...you'd never convince any owners to pay the ludicrous sums they do (both buying, and selling/exiting/etc)

its fascinating that both sides of this industry leverage completely misleading statements (or ones that are designed to be deliberately misinterpreted) or outright lies in order to convince owners to pay a sum of money for whatever product is being pitched.

Record time. My posts about deedback programs last night on Wesley’s Facebook got deleted in 6.5 hours.

As a side note, the guy who runs Wesley Group was a manager of a MAJOR timeshare fraud company known as "VO Group". In his radio ads, he said he created the timeshare exit industry. Yeah, he may have created it, but he was a part of a major fraud that was taken down by states.

Also, when mentioning AARP, same thing with United Healthcare's Medicare plans. UHC pays AARP for the name, and UHC sends applications for their plans to AARP to sign up. AARP just takes the money and applications, nothing more.

We got conned into getting a 5-year AARP membership so that my husband could buy their supplement plans. But they wanted to charge him tier 2 pricing which was 2 times the tier 1 pricing so we said no dice. We hate having the AARP membership as we don't agree with their position in their political lobbying work. Some of what they lobby for actually hurts seniors, it is otherwise known as the truth but not the whole truth. We won't be renewing.

From the BBB

“On October 1, 2019 the accreditation of this business has been suspended for failure to uphold BBB's standards of Advertise Honestly, Be Transparent, and Embody Integrity.”

Taking thousands of dollars from a Diamond customer without telling them that Diamond has a deed back program is exactly what the BBB is talking about.

When I told such a Diamond owner on Wesley’s FB, not only was my commented deleted, but I got banned from Wesley’s Facebook. Screenshot uploaded.

This just proves that Wesley Financial, like other exit companies, are not “consumer advocates” but rather leeches looking to take advantage of timeshare owners. Withholding this vital information from owners is no different than an auto repair shop charging someone $4,000 to fix their car knowing that it is covered for free under the manufacture warranty. Kudos to the BBB for suspending Wesley Financial’s accreditation.

I'm no fan of the AARP but keep my Membership because I like their publications...
