Sticky - Hilton Vacation Club / DRI now accepting deedbacks - Give back your HGV/Diamond Resorts Timeshare

Did this happen to anyone else? Is it a coincidence that a scammer company called the same day I submitted my request? How did they find out...?

We get calls all the time so I'd guess just a coincidence

Slow Processb

go figure...

did you get an email from them saying that they were sending you documents?

Yes, on 5/12/15. It is a very slow process. Now I guess I have to work to protect my II banked weeks.

Update:

June 8: Sent my email request in to Lossmitigation email address, received autoreply.
June 9: Received call today saying my request for voluntary surrender has been approved and that I'll be receiving documents in the mail in about 1.5 weeks. Managers need to go over everything first.

Questions:

1)for those of you who received documents from DRI, how did they send it, by regular ground mail or by UPS, Fed Ex or other which requires my actually signing something or being home when it's being delivered?

2) is there time sensitivity on signing the forms and getting them back to them? I'm just hoping the forms don't arrive the week I'm away.

Thanks for your help!

Marg2 questions

DRI sent it by regular mail. Canada Post
The cover letter tells you what to do (Canada is slightly different to the US due to CA not using Apostilles. We don't belong to The Hague convention for that process)
They give you time to return everything by. I extended that time due to family stuff. I contacted them a couple of times for clarification about things and they were helpful. There was no problem.
I just sent everything off today.
Once I figured out the requirements it seems to have been fairly strait forward. However not saying done until that cheque is cashed etc.

Thanks, appreciate your response, especially since you're from Canada, too. Hopefully I can figure out what they require. I'm glad to hear they are accommodating, and that it's coming by Canada Post. That buys me time to pick it up (if it's a large package) if it arrives while I'm away. Did they send a number of documents?

Marg2 questions

It was just normal post in a normal sized business envelope such as a bank statement is in

Perfect. Thank you. I won't worry, then.

go figure...

Nothing other than the automated reply with the ticket number, I send on May 18, then, Yesterday exactly 3 weeks later, I received the Mutual Release Agreement. I got it signed in front of Notary and mailed it back today along with a $250 Check.

Lets see how this goes. Good luck for you.

 

[pgnewarkboy]

Anyone receive a notification that deed filed?

I filled out the deeds and returned it to them about 6 weeks ago. They cashed my checks for filing the deeds about 3 weeks ago. Can I expect anything further from Diamond?

final chapter

As I previously posted, the first week of June my DRI account online showed 'no ownership or membership,' a few days after my check was cashed May 31. I had asked to be sent copies of the DRI/MGV countersigned Mutual Release Agreement, which arrived by mail yesterday with a cover letter from DRI Loss Mitigation. My wife and I had a shredding party last night where we trashed all the MGV/DRI forms, agreements, deeds, invoices and promotional materials from 17 years, then we threw away the MGV carry bag they were in. Just kept that signed MRA. We feel lighter and free at last. :rofl:

Good luck to you all who are on this path, and once again my thanks to this TUGBBS and those who showed me this way out of the rabbit hole.

Final chapter

Fantastic!:whoopie:

 

[TUGBrian]

DRI should give us $15 bucks for every person we've sent their way to give back their units! =)

 

[HB2015]

DRI should give us $15

Sounds like a plan!

 

[pgnewarkboy]

whew!

I no longer show as an owner on the Diamond web site! Finality. THANKS TUG

 

[Bill4728]

Hi

Just thinking that DRI may be flooded with people trying to give back their TS because of this thread. Then thought NO There are a lot of people reading TUG but compared with all the DRI owners it is a very very small amount. DRI likely sells more TSs each day at all their resorts then they are taking back because of this thread.

Happy for you, dontfret! Congrats.

Has anyone been denied?

June 17: received letter from Diamond (bad timing. going away in a day for over a week. I'll call to ask for an extension). I have until July 15th to return. I don't see anywhere in the letter that says I need to send in $250

HB2015, I sent you a private message re how to get a Form 10 and what to do with it. Canadians are required to get an additional authentification done.

 

[HB2015]

Canadian requirements

Just answered you Marg privately

 

[Lets Get Going]

Deed back with check or ?

Forgive me if this question has been asked and answered before, but I have my paperwork to deedback my MGV points and wondered if the $250 has to be in the form of a personal check? Will a money order work? Certified check? The paperwork doesn't specify and they are closed today so I can't ask them. I want to get this in the mail on Monday, if possible.

 

[jimmy44]

i wish spinaker would do this.

 

[TUGBrian]

never hurts to ask, write a letter to your HOA!

The paper work I got said they wanted the $250 to be a cashier's check. DRI did not want to accept a personal check.

We got the cashier's check and the paperwork notarized all at the same time at our bank.

 

[pgnewarkboy]

DRI happily cashed my personal checks.

Money order worked for me, from Canada.
