We bought on November 19th but immediately (within 5 days) wrote both Belaire & PROFECO to cancel our contract, delivering both letters & documentation by registered delivery for proof of cancellation date . We notified American Express, who put a hold on the charges. Belaire responded, saying they would cancel all but the 'closing cost'. In their email they referred to the cost as a penalty, which is expressly prohibited by Mexican law. PROFECO got involved, & a meeting between their lawyers was eventually held on March 22nd (nothing ever happens very quickly in Mexico, but we love the country, anyway). Belaire agreed verbally to cancel the contract & all charges & has made no effort to charge us again. However, we have yet to receive anything in writing confirming the cancellation. It all seems to be over, but it's certainly tried our patience. We're very happy that we moved so quickly on this & feel empathy for those who didn't get out in time.
