High pressure tactics, timeshare exit (by Sara B.):

My fiancé and I were a part of a high pressure timeshare scheme in Orlando where several false promises and lies were told to us, as they held our 3 children captive in a tiny room. We were told the presentation was 90 minutes and we were there for 4 + hours-until after 5pm. We were finally exhausted and just wanted to get our children out of the room and agreed to sign for the lowest amount of points. We were promised at least 10 days / year of a trip for 16000k. When we started to look to try to book something, we can only really get 2-5 days depending on the time of year and location! We did take out a mortgage and still owe money. Plus, just received the bill for the maintenance fees which were $200 more than explained to us. We feel like the fact that they kept or 3 children in a room so long and didn’t properly go over the contract and disclose information makes this extremely unlawful and unethical. What options do we have?
