Re: FILING COMPLAINTS CONCERNING TIMESHARE RIPOFFS

[Q=lisag388] My husband and I recently went to Cabo San Lucas. We bought a timeshare... pressured actually... to make a decision that day. We were told under Mexican law we had 5 days to rescind. Within 24 hours we returned to Enchantment Residence Club to cancel because we realized that what they were promising was not in the contract. They cancelled the downpayment, but they told us we were still responsible for the closing fees, (about $1500), and that we could take it up with the credit card company if we were dissatisfied. The credit card company says we have no recourse, we must pay. HELP!!![/Q] [b]They outright lied to you. It's Mexican law that a buyer has 5 days to rescind and that all monies will be refunded including the down payment and/or closing costs. If they don't comply with your request for the entire funds to be returned then you need to get in touch with Profeco (Mexico's consumer protection and fraud agency). You can learn more about Profeco by performing a forum search.[/b]
