Hello-
I just joined because my father was scammed by "Transfer on the Spot" last year. He went to their "seminar", wrote a check for over $3000 based on the promised "transfer" (on the spot!) of his timeshare, and of course here we are almost a year later and no transfer has taken place, or probably ever will.
Contacting the company as expected has been an exercise in run-arounds, hand-offs and futility.
Fortunately he has access to legal resources through the company he worked at (he's long since retired) and has 4 resourceful kids who are all very motivated to help.
SO, after hours of searching these very helpful boards, I have seen a number of suggestions warning people away from these kinds of frauds, but no first hand accounts of anyone who was able to resolve the problem after the fact.
Are there any successful resolutions out there???
I see numerous complaints on the BBB, all answered by the same stock answer from the company (blaming the original timeshare company) and amazingly "Transfer on the Spot" holds a good BBB rating, which of course makes me seriously question the relevancy of the BBB...
Their mailing, in-person sales pitch and website all explicitly promise:
"Your deed or other ownership documents are prepared legally and transferred right before your eyes!"
"COME in with your Timeshare and LEAVE without it, Congratulations!"
Etc, etc, etc...
Clearly these people are committing outright fraud, how are they able to continue to operate day after day?
Thanks for any insights or help!!!
