I Just Won a Platinum NCV on Ebay--My husband's going to kill me!!!

[icydog]

Marylyn,

FYI... I received a "canned" email response that started like this:




the day I sent them an email, then a personal "status" email the following day.

What's a personal status email? Is it something different from the regular status email I sent?

Sorry, Marylyn. All I meant to say was that I got the personal email from Marriott the day following the "canned" email response.

I fixed the posting to state:

Thanks for the explanation. I never got one. Now I'm worried again.

But didn't you just get the "canned" response from MVCI today?

"Just won a week on Ebay, and my husband's going to kill me"

So what did the husband do?

Hopefully the family is still intact.

Her husband said, "You're nuts."
And - obviously she is still alive.

You should get a "live" response in the next day or two. Let's hope they acknowlege receipt of your paperwork. The first response you received was computer generated.

Just an update for a more complete reference:

12/15/08 - Closing accomplished. Deed sent to county (HHI - Beaufort Co.)
12/22/08 - Deed recorded. Available online at county web site.
12/23/08 - Attorney/Closing Co sends paper work to Marriott
12/30/08 - Marriott logs paperwork as being "received"
01/26/09 - I sent email to Owner.Modifications@vacationclub.com to check status
01/27/09 - I received this email:

I checked that staus of your transfer and I am happy to report that it has just been completed this morning. A confirmation letter will be going out. Your owner number is <xxxxxxx>. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

02/04/09 - Received single-page "welcome" letter (with basic info) from Marriott

(I ended up having to call Marriott to help create my my-vacationclub.com account, due to web issues...)

GRRRR!! and you know it's not at you but at my seller. Still nothing from Marriott. Do you have a phone number?


CONGRATULATIONS on your new Marriott Timeshare. Lots of good luck and good health using it.

Marylyn,

I've uploaded a copy of the Marriott External Transfer Form. It contains a checklist of what needs to submitted:

• Copy of new, recorded deed
• Transfer and waiver fees
• Copy of driver's license(s) or passport(s)

I would suggest contacting Marriott Owner Modifications first to verify that an external transfer request has not already been submitted by the closing company. I'm still waiting for confirmation that my NCV transfer was completed and it was submitted in late November.

Best Regards,

Dewnay

I just noticed the attachment you provided. I did fill out that form. I sent in my driver's license. I sent all the stuff to the closing company aka seller. Nothing has been done. I am at my wits end. 7 months to close a timeshare sale!! and it is still NOT in my account. I think he is holding up my paperwork on purpose because I, rightfully, called him a liar.

Thanks....

MVCI Owner Services 800.845.4226 (ext. 3, I think)

I still have nothing. Marriott Owner Services gave me the run around. They said that Lakeland had the paperwork. I asked them if they would check to see if everything they needed was there (in Lakeland I mean). The owner services people would not even call Lakeland and they wouldn't give me the number either.

So I continue to sit and wait. Another owner who had his deed recorded the same day as mine got his contract through Marriott today. He started in Oct. Had his deed recorded in Jan and today he is all done.

I started in July. Had my deed recorded and January and I have nothing. I am sick to death of this.

 

[icydog]

BTW, This must be a new worlds recorded for the longest unsettled timeshare transfer in history. It's now 8 months and counting.

 

[thinze3]

Why don't you try calling the Marriott rep that I pm'd you. She is in Lakeland and is very nice.

 

[capjak]

I started end of October, deed recorded in January and sent email to same site on Saturday and got the following on Monday.

Thank you for your email. I show the Marriott system was updated on
February 5, 2009 to show you as the current owner of the Grande Vista
property. You may contact the reservations office at 800-845-4226 to
reserve your unit. Please reference owner number xxxxxx when calling.
Please be advised that it will take approximately 2-3 weeks for your
vacation ownership to show up on the Marriott website, so calling the
above number will be the quickest way to reserve the 2009 usage. If you
have any questions, please let me know.

The week is in my account---finally!!!

I never got an email like the one you posted above. I called today to a number a Tug member gave me and they informed me it has been added to my account. If I hadn't called I would never have known. Anyway, Thanks to everyone here for your great advice, your good wishes and your great empathy.

Regards,
Marylyn

PS Should I start a thread scorching the seller/broker that I bought from on ebBay. Others should know the extent of their deception. Its just my opinion but shouldn't we have a place to list unscrupulous eBay sellers?

Hopefully you will have such a good time your first trip there you will forget all the aggravation!

Marylyn,

I'm so happy that you finally got this nightmare transaction completed!!

I still am thinking about NCV for my next purchase but I like most americans am sitting on the sideline at this time.

Good luck with your purchase!

 

[icydog]

Just don't buy one on Ebay from Sellingtimeshare Guys or Redweeksforless.

 

[Michigan Czar]

Congrats, finally! What a relief. I am sure at some point you were wondering if you would ever get it. Thanks for the tip on Ebay too.

Maybe

Just don't buy one on Ebay from Sellingtimeshare Guys or Redweeksforless.

Maybe that's why one from Redweeksforless only sold for 10,150 this week.
Hmmmm......

 

[lawgs]

Just don't buy one on Ebay from Sellingtimeshare Guys or Redweeksforless.

is that sellingtimeguys? by any chance

 

[aka Julie]

Just don't buy one on Ebay from Sellingtimeshare Guys or Redweeksforless.

There's also an Ebay seller redweek4less (no "s" on week). Is this the same company?

 

[Glynda]

Sellingredweeksforless...

is that sellingtimeguys? by any chance

It was redweek4less. They have another one on eBay now too. I assume that this is the same seller as mentioned above.

 

[Glynda]

Confused...

OK, I'm confused. I see redweeksforless, redweekforless and redweek4less mentioned here. Are these typos or the same seller?
