When I called the company and told them that they needed to take back this last purchase at the very least, they said they would work with us but had to talk to my parents directly. What did they do -- they sold my parents 17,000 more points over the phone at then ages 79 and 75 for $49,492. My parents said they were told they could not cancel the trial program, but the points could be added to something else. This is why they are in foreclosure. The caller said they would need to attach the trial points to another program. I could not believe it. Their new maintenance fees are $4,780.
My mom worked as an interpreter for the Ontario California liaison. She speaks Spanish. My dad is diagnosed with early Alzheimer's. To think their lives have been financially ruined by this company is unforgivable.
I am a timeshare advocate now. I am a veteran. I am working on a graduate degree and am active in the Veteran's Resource Center at my university. There is a Veteran's Resource Center in every university. As soon as I finish my degree, I plan to make it my life's mission to warn veterans about predatory timeshare sales that can financially ruin the lives of those who served to protect us, including those who intend to do us harm. I am one of 72 veterans and active-duty military and law enforcement who have reported alleged timeshare fraud. https://www.csun.edu/vrc
Timeshare Advocacy Group TM is staffed by 44 volunteer advocates who assist members for free. We feel there has never ever been a more buyer-beware product, except for timeshare companies like Disney Vacation Club, staffed by a bunch of little critters.
