Hi. I am an owner at Vida Vacations. I was given the chance to sell a timeshare that was traded in as part of my purchase for close to 2G and wash my hands of the timeshare or pay close to 8G and I would receive what they are able to sell it for. I paid the 8G. This was close to a year ago so it is now water under the bridge. I realize now that they will never try to sell my timeshare. Now, I have also paid Hawaii Vacations--also pushed by Vida Vacations to help me rent 2 weeks per year from my Vida Vacations contract. I noticed on the contract that Hawaii Vacations is using information from the timeshare that is supposed to be being sold by TRM in the contract. Clearly, this proves TRM is just making money off of the 8G deal they made with me and making no attempt to sell my timeshare. Is there anything I can do legally since I have proof that TRM is not even trying to sell my timeshare?

Depends exactly on what your contract says.
Usually this deal is only meant to convince you to give them money (buy something from vidanta). They have no interest in taking over or helping you sell your timeshare. The words spoken by the sales agent and the written contract are usually different.
You may just have to prevent access to your unit and continue using your unit or give/sell it to an interested person yourself.
Motto: Never trust the words coming out of a sales agents mouth. Vidanta offered me something similar but I didn't bite.

PS: It is not just Vidanta that does this, got the same pitch from Villa La Valencia last week.
