Re: IA Vacations/ American Timeshare Closings

Well well here we are in Feb 2010, 6 months after purchasing a unit from IA Vacations off Ebay. The resort finally (a few days ago) recognized the deed, ie recognized us as owners, even if the parcel has been switched unilaterally by IA Vacations and their closing company (ATC), which we suspect is the same company by a different name. And by the way, the taxes are in arrears (unpaid for 2009) on this new parcel. Furthermore, the deed reflects a payment of $1000 for the parcel, not the $6666 we paid for the parcel originally sold to us. And due to the delays, of course there are no workable dates left for 2010. We requested a refund from IA Vacations, and they have told us to get lost, and furthermore, they have told us they won't respond to any further communications from us. So step 1, we have filed a complaint with the AG of TN. Step 2, we will file a lawsuit. Step 3, we will inform San Diego County, as well as the IRS, about the understated consideration noted on the deed. IA Vacations had an opportunity to amend the deed, and they did make a partial amendment to correct some other errors (nonexistent parcel no, incorrect "undivided share" fraction, but they steadfastly refuse to correct this misstated consideration. We believe this is an attempt to minimize or avoid county and/or federal taxes. I can't speak for the sellers, but I can tell you that as buyers, we have been screwed over quite well by this company and its owner, Mr. Stacy Gillispie.
