[ 2013 ] Your recent experience buying from redweek4less and VP Title LLC

[boyblue]

This is crazy! Do not deal with these people! They sold me a week that does not exist! When i busted them on it, the promised me a full refund. 8 weeks later, i have nothing but broken promises and i am short $15,000!

Sorry for your bad experience but I wouldn't spend that kind of money with anyone that wouldn't allow independent closing company.

I think my transaction with them is finally completed, but many bumps along the way.

1. They made an error with the name on the deed and had to file a corrected deed.

2. My first year of use was to be 2014, but after completing the transfer Marriott informed me the 2014 use had been traded for points. They Paid the 2014 fees and my first year of use will be 2015.

3. Taxes are billed separate from the Maintenance fees and they neglected to pay. I received a letter from the county advising of the delinquent taxes. They have now paid the 2014 taxes in full.

They have always responded to my emails, although sometimes it took a while.

After I got a "second chance offer" for an "exact unit" that they "happened" to have a few hours after being beaten by shill bidding, I inquired as to more info about the "exact" unit.

Hi we have a second property exactly like this one in our inventory and wanted to offer it to you before listing it on Ebay. If you are interested you can click buy it now. If you have any questions at all, please let me know! Thank you! Jamie

Then I received an email saying that it had been sold, despite my three requests for a clarification of "exact unit".

Jeanne,
I'm sorry the property is no longer available for sale, someone already purchased it, and the offer expired anyway. We sent it to you over the weekend and no one is actually in the office over the weekend. I apologize; it was the unit right next door, but it's no longer available for sale.
Thank you,
Jamie

"Jamie" did not like my following emails re: deceptive practices, so I received this from her:

Well good luck with that Jeanne; we can actually pick who we want to sell our properties to at any given time, and we would not sell to you especially after having been accused of deceptive practices. So good luck and please don't worry about bidding on anything with our company. Thanks, Jamie

1. Reported to Ebay
2. Reported to Tennessee
3. Preparing report to Florida AG

I have reported them to the BBB and am working on Tennesse. They both know IAVactions well due to the large number of complaints logged.
I will let you know if/when i get my money back.

Closed on 1BR plat at HGVC South Beach

FINALLY CLOSED!

ebay auction won for $1690 on 11/21/13
paid $2,573.00 (includes closing costs + transfer fee) on 11/23/13
initial contract and paperwork sent in to them 11/25/13
ROFR/estoppel request sent in 11/27/13
ROFR/estoppel response received 12/23/13
2014 maint fees paid: 01/02/14
recorded deed: 01/06/14 (with ERROR)
correction deed recorded: 01/13/14 (see interesting notes afterwards)
Confirmation from HGVC of completed transfer: 02/20/14

Total time 3 months.

Notes:
1) Keep on top of them every couple of weeks just to make sure they are moving along

2) Contract stipulated they could use whichever deed type they wanted. I changed contact to indicate that only warranty deed was acceptable. They opted in the end for a 'special warranty deed', but as owner bought from HGVC so no real problem (I would not have accepted a non-warranty deed).

3) Modified contract to include clauses for refunds in case the deal cannot close.

4) DEED ERROR: Cut and paste error, they stated the governance of covenants of another HGVC property and not HGVC South Beach, which required a correction deed to be recorded. Recommend you check all paperwork they submit (some other postings indicate even name on deed wrong). I don't know if or how much this delayed HGVC completing transfer.

5) Some real estate shenanigans : They slip in the same signature page (of previous owner) for the 2 deeds. Also the signature page was dated even before the auction was won. This could be considered fraud, but apparently a common practice in real estate deals from my research. The notary could also face legal charges for it if it's proved that he notarized a loose page on a contract (thereby aiding the fraud).
