I too am a former timeshare salesperson who worked in Mexico. Everything she says is true. The first timeshare that I worked at (Angel Fire Resort, Angel Fire, NM) fired me because I asked why they were lying to people. I always sold with integrity while the other salespeople were lying and this was encouraged by management. I worked in Mexico for many years in Cancun, Mazatlán, and Cabo San Lucas. Here is what they are doing and why they cannot stop anyone from cancelling: (1) The Mexico timeshare sell the papers to a U.S. company (i.e. GBS International) for a profit (2) The U.S. company wants to make a profit and reports any debt to the U.S. collection agency who work on commission. This is illegal on so many parts. (3) If the debt is unpaid, the U.S. collections company reports it to the credit reporting agencies only if they have the social security number. If they do, they are committing "debt parking" which is fraud and a federal crime.
