FIRST COMPANY WHO ACTUALLY HELPS ME GET RID OF MY TIMESHARE

[/QUOTE] ".... They say if we drop out they will go after our children. .... Vid an ta meeting this week as we are spending some time in Mexico. They offered to get us out of our current contract ." [/QUOTE]
--- I was at Vidanta sales meeting, they were telling us that there is a new law in Florida that allows these companies to pursue your heirs EVEN IF THE KIDS DO NOT WANT THE TIMESHARE! Most of these TS companies are inc in FL. Also told us they would terminate our TS and give us a huge credit for our timeshare. I asked why when it can be purchased for nothing on eBay. They said my TS company would re-sell it for a lot more money. I said why dont they buy it on eBay and the answer was, "They do not buy from 3rd parties." In actuality, they turned us over to a re-saler (TRM) that required a $1000 fee and just posted my TS for sale at the mortgage balance we owed . My TS company has no interest in buying it back, they never even contacted them. After a year of the TS being on the market I am promised my $1000 fee back if it does not sell, and it won't sell due to high price. I mean what idiot would pay that much when you can buy it on ebay for nothing.

Some 7 or 8 years ago I had a deal with a Branson TS which would pay me $200 over my cost for their Weeks that I would buy on Ebay and Deed back to them. My recollection is I made between $2 and $3 thousand in less than 2 years doing this...

Indiana Traveler - We have been Vidanta owners for 20 years. We did not trade anything in when we bought in. We have owned at the Sea Garden, Mayan Palace, Grand Mayan and Grand Luxxe levels. They keep the properties up and are always adding to them. We have had the no MF unless you go since 2007 and that works great in the times you do not need the weeks. When the 10 year Renewal time comes, if you do not renew, you no longer own. If you pass away, you kids can inherit if and use it under your contract terms. If they do not want it, they do not have to pay anything and then the contract expires at the next renewal date.

If you choose to rescind, go to Member Services to do so. As someone said, READ that packet and follow the instructions.

 

[TheTimeTraveler]

Also, if you do decide to rescind, use the United States Postal Service (USPS) and be sure to send it via REGISTERED MAIL....

Act fast and rescind within the legally allowed time frame.

I believe Indiana Traveler is still in Mexico and if so USPS is not an option.

rescinding on resort using Vidanta Member Services is an option -
or writing and sending with a dated receipt . Using a courier within Mexico that will give a receipt is likely a better choice for sending than the Mexican postal system .

Of course you are correct! However, "if" it is mailed in Mexico via the Mexican Postal System then the only way it should be mailed is via REGISTERED MAIL which documents acceptance (and eventually delivery).

Using a courier within Mexico "may be" a very good alternative to look at.

Thank you for your reply. We think we would like Vidanta but I am very nervous about the RH part. They said we would only pay for the deed transfer. If we rescind, do we cancel our credit card down payment first or do we call Vidanta ? Thank you.

@IndianaTraveler, even if you want to keep the Vidanta membership, your best bet financially is to go to Member Services and tel them you are rescinding because the price is too high. Member Services always tries to renegotiate with you and can offer you a better price and additional amenities that sales can't or won't offer you.

EXCELLENT suggestion!

Don’t call Vidanta or talk to any of the sales people. If you’re still in Mexico you need to deal only with the Member Services Dept. Your rescission must be in writing—just a simple written statement saying you wish to rescind your purchase & have everyone who signed the contract sign the letter. keep a copy for yourself and get the Member Services people to sign and date the copy indicating it was sent within the five business days. Don’t deal with the sales people any more.

Thank you so much for this advice. Because Vidanta said they were buying our RH contract but then gave us paper work for TRM which after all the hours we didn’t check, we want to rescind. Is there anyone in Puerto Vallarta who could type out a letter for us? Could it be hand written? Is there a notary system? How do we find Member Services? Should I go back to Nuevo Vallarta in person? My husband is so upset he can’t deal with it. If I have our signed by both of us , rescind letter he shouldn’t have to go. Right? We feel silly getting sucked into this at our age and after already owning for decades!! Vidanta is a lovely place but I feel we could give them the $38,000 and still own our Royal Holiday. It has sadly sort of ruined our vacation. We are here for another week though. I am grateful for the help of this group. IndianaTraveler

Royal Holiday isn’t the easiest sale , even for $ 1 on ebay / if it was a low season Marriott or similar there would be less to worry about .



Your choices to rescind / 2 options
1) Vidanta Member Services / on resort - requires an appt - they are not sales .
VMS will try to get you to keep the contract by counter offering . They will also let you keep the contract at the same price ( or likely a better price ) without the “trade in “ < there are TUG Mexican Forum threads that confirm this > They will give you signed paperwork that confirms rescission if you tell them you are not keeping the contract .

2 ) Send by letter following the required time line - keep copies ( and also take a cell phone picture to date stamp) . You need a dated receipt and if in Mexico I would use a courier not Mexican post office . Some suggest sending a copy to Profeco .

Vidanta cannot issue a refund to the credit card if you cancel it . If you choose to rescind I would advise the credit card company that you rescinded and are awaiting a refund .

Vidanta is professionally run Mexican company with close to 20,000 employees.
Their Member Services process recessions with no issues as long as you do it within the required timeframe . Rescinding is a legal right - you do not need to give an explanation . It is like returning apparel to a store - no reason needed .

( some prefer the peace of mind of in person signed paperwork / some prefer sending - either works . )

In Nuevo Vallarta - the Member Services office is in the Grand Bliss building / 2nd floor - near the elevator .(same floor as the sales closing room) hours are 9-5 Mon - Friday .

DO NOT GO BACK TO SALES - you are an owner - with 4 days of option time .

You are so helpful!! If I try for an appointment, how likely am i to get an appointment at the Member Services tomorrow? If they won’t see me, how to ai find a courier?
Thank you so much!!

 

[pittle]

Check that contract - you may be able to rescind via email. It would be time stamped.

1) rescission letter can be handwritten
2) no need for notary / no need to give a reason
3) both of you need to sign.
4) MUST MEET 5 DAY TIMELINE - with dated receipt for your records .
( their reception date is not critical - just the date sent - with proof via a receipt )

Make copies for your records .
I would attach a copy of the contract you both signed .

It sounds like you are in Puerto Vallarta & staying at the Royal Holiday property .
If this is the case - I would send it / not return to Nuevo .

I will find the address / look for a courier service and the address for Profeco in PV

also check your TUG conversation / in box

I almost forgot to tell you, about a couple of hours ago I did send an email saying we were rescinding the contract but it was to customer service. I hope that was ok?? I thought i might start getting phone calls but nothing so far. But this is probably not the same as member services. It’s just an email i found in the paperwork. So far i have found nothing about canceling. Thank you.

Yes we are at Los Tules.

For those wondering, a shill is someone who works for a company, but comes in acting like a customer praising the company. For example, let's say you see a post from someone praising Microsoft Windows 11 (I know it's not out yet but using it as an example). Come to find out, the person praising MS is actually Bill Gates. In that case, Gates is a shill.

It is not necessary to do so /but you may wish to at least send them a copy and
note this on the recession . It never hurts .

Vida Sales ( Vidanta’s Sales team ) are good at what they do and fast talking .
I am sure they skimmed over the details -so that your interpretation was that : THEY
were taking RH off your hands - while the actual details are more nuanced .
This convinced you to sign -which was the goal .

Your recession will be processed by Member Services and a refund of the deposit
returned to the credit card used . This may take more than 30 days so I would call
the credit card company - so that they are in the loop .

Member Services will likely call you and ask if you would wish to keep the contract .
