Scammed again! Can I get out of an agreement with TSBO
I have had so many bad deals that I don't know who to trust anymore.
First off - we bought a timeshare at Cabo San Lucas - loved it. Went three times and then got talked into buying Grand Luxxe in Peurto Vallarta. They said they would buy the other timeshare from us and gave us the money we had initially invested (plus more) to pay towards the Grand Luxxe property. So we thought we had off-loaded it, got a good deal and now we only owned Grand Luxxe (for which we pay maintenance when we use it and not every year). Plus rentals are in high demand here - or so we were told!
Came home, completed and submitted all the transfer paperwork for Grand Solmar. A short while later we got a call to say we could keep the timeshare and could just continue to own it as before. Being gullible we kept it. So now we have to pay maintenance fees annually again!
So now we own 3 weeks in Nuevo Vallarta and 1 week in Cabo each year. Not great but we were convinced by the sales rep that we would have no problem renting out the extra weeks.
We were approached by timesharesbyowner and they convinced us they would be able to rent our timeshares without any problem. after many calls and very convincing exchanges we got duped and paid $3999 for them to advertise!
Since Nov 2013 we have had no inquiries on the ad. Is there any way to get out of this and recoup any of our money?
to the tune of $800. They made my mother believe that timeshares were in high demand (they are NOT) and that they could rent their timeshare out in 4-6 weeks for $1500/week (they did NOT). The "ad" they put on-line is also terrible and very amateurish.
