Hello everyone!
I am new to this board so hopefully I am posting this in the correct location.
I recently made the mistake of purchasing a timeshare in Costa Rica. I signed the contract on March 25th and the minute I returned home to reality I started to regret my decision. I did some research and discovered that there is no rescission period in Costa Rica and no way to get out of the contract. Then along came timeshare-answers.com...
I was so stressed and desperate to find a way to get out of this contract that when I spoke with someone at their organization I foolishly agreed to their $2,595 fee to get me out of my timeshare. I had looked them up on the BBB website while I was speaking with the woman on the telephone and they had an A- rating so I thought that maybe they were ok. D'oh! Since sending timeshare-answers by hard earned money, I have been looking around on the internet and reading all sorts of terrible things about them. It seems like no one has had a good experience with them and timeshare-answers is a total scam! I feel so foolish!
So now I am out $4,000 from the down payment of the timeshare + $2595 that I paid timeshare-answers to help me to get my down payment back and get me out of the contract! I know this is my own fault and I should have done more research before acting so impulsively. I am so embarrassed that I allowed myself to be scammed not once, but possibly twice!
My question is: Has anyone had any luck dealing with timeshare-answers? Or should I call my credit card company ASAP and try to get my money back and just accept the fact that I am not getting out of this timeshare and it is a very expensive lesson learned?
Thank you so much for your help!
