Thay were going to offer me even more money. They stated all they received was 1,299 for selling our time share. I thought that did not sound bad for selling. (I was assuming it would be paid at closing) Julia
Congrats on calling their bluff. They did not have a buyer waiting and even if they did, it is the buyer who pays the closing costs, not the seller. AND closing costs for a timeshare should not come close to $1300.

They (and others) will claim the money is for advertising. Now why do they need advertising if they supposedly have a buyer.

I actually just filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Comission and FL state... I would encourage anyone else to do the same. I am trying to get my money back right now, but I was notified via mail that they will be investigating my complaint. It would be nice to at least get my money back...

Keep us posted. Many people talk about filing complaints with their AGs, etc. but this is the first time I heard of a possible investigation. And I hope they really will follow through with the investigation.
