We just spoke with an officer in the Police Department on South Padre Island. She was not aware of what has happened at the Galleon Bay. We are working with the Investigating Officer in the process of determining if there are any criminal charges that should be forwarded to the Cameron County DA Office for criminal investigation. Have you requested the Tax statements for your unit from the Port Isabel Tax Office? The ICS Management Corporation collected funds from us for our unit EVERY year, but ONLY paid taxes on our unit every THIRD year for over a decade. You may want to contact the South Padre Island Police Department at (956) 761-5454 with your information.

We have owned a Timeshare at Galleon Bay Club for ten years which is managed by ICS Management. This year we received our owners invoice which had several new charges. One particular was a Property Tax Debt for $1095.31. This caused us to call the Cameron County tax office and found out that ICS management had not been paying the property taxes for several years. Due to this delinquent tax debt Cameron county was putting the property up for auction. Now ICS management is trying to force owners to pay their taxes from the past years AGAIN or face foreclosure. Also they have nearly doubled the 2012 maintenance fee compared to past years. This year our owner invoice is for $3095.31 which usually runs around $800. They are however in lieu of paying these fraudulent charges offering owners the chance to deed back their timeshare to ICS. Our deed is paid in full and we have always paid our taxes as billed. Now ICS management is tiring to scam owners into paying their taxes twice. They pocketed or mismanaged the money we had paid prior. This is embezzlement someone should go to jail ! Also make complaints to the BBB.
