Re: point rental liquidators (by Susan C.):

I wish with your timeshare experience and industry knowledge you'd give me one chance to show you what we do at no charge. 1 freeby year. no money. Learn it, play with it and see what you think. What could you lose? Other forum readers please don't even ask for a year. There are contract issues with our affiliates. I'm giving 3 total 1 year freebies for forever and that's it. There are 3 offers for a free year, DonP, JayJay, and Susan. Susan because of the misrepresented response from her sales rep about the ARDA letter. JayJay and DonP because I was unprofessional and rude and want a chance to show them the system. I think after watching this forum for this long I'd rather have you two tell me that you're impressed that someone is doing it right then have $100,000... I went from confused, to mad, to frustrated, to apologetic, to motivated with this situation.

I appreciate what you do for people regardless and I honestly and sincerely apologize for my unprofessionalism before. I didn't deal with it correctly. It took a 72 year old client that has been with me for three years calling me and telling me I was acting childish to realize it. I know I'm still not being quite as polite as I should be to Tina but it is a big pill to swallow having someone that you didn't charge and that the resort refunded immediately put uneducated thoughts and inaccurate portrayals about your livelihood. The amount of inaccuracy in her story from beginning to end is horrifying and anyone that knows basic timeshare sales can see that.

Everybody have a good weekend. Stay out of the heat. It's nasty in Illinois!

Cordially as always, BJ Cooke

BJ, I emailed you more than a week ago saying that I was willing to discuss your offer alluded to above in your post. Would you please repost the email address to use so I can resend it? My email addy does end in a .net so some junk filters filter it out but most times I have no problem. Don and Jay Jay: BJ is offering you an opportunity to try this program out for a year for NOTHING. It seems to me who freely admits that I am NOT timeshare savvy that PRL coupled with VSI is a novel and creative approach that would give me more flexibility. And, yes, maybe I am wrong. I am willing to be wrong but only where I am not risking anything but my pride. What would stop you from trying this gratis for a year IF your interest is the truth instead of proving yourself right? Point being, are YOU willing to be wrong and have it cost you nothing but your pride? With all due respect, your vehemence against Cooke approaches a level that makes you less credible to me because it seems that you are unwilling to even entertain the idea that something could be different from the way things have been. I think I do understand that you both have more timeshare knowledge than I do and have probably seen more scams than most people due to your participation on these and other forums. What I do NOT understand is a refusal on your part to participate in the program for FREE for one year. Do you not trust yourselves to catch something in the "small print" that would be disadvantageous to you? You both seem so savvy that I doubt this. The only other reason that I can come up with is the risk to your ego. But if your real objective on this forum is to discriminate among the "chaff and the grain" in the timeshare market, it would seem consistent with that objective to try the program for the free year so you would have first hand knowledge instead of suppositions. Tina, I would also be a little anxious if I were you. Here you have BJ telling you that the refund has been issued but it is not posted to the CC account yet. My take on this is that PRL (BJ's company) did not issue the refund because PRL did not take receipt of any money from your folks. Reading between the lines, it would appear that the PRL fee that Sunset Harbor offered as an "add on" never got as far as to be processed by PRL to the point of even depositing your parent's timeshare. So, that tells me that these things at Sunset Harbor move slowly. My impression was that PRL was "told" by Sunset Harbor that the refund has been issued. Given their evident "slowness", while I would be concerned, I would not yet make the assumption that Mr. Cooke is lying. Some companies have very cumbersome and inefficient processes for this type of thing and it may be that type of situation. You have been advised in a public forum that the refund has been issued so that is what I would expect. It has just been a little over two weeks. If SH had not even completed the original processing in 6 weeks, then perhaps giving them more time is the approach to take before you decide it is not going to happen? BTW, have you talked to anyone with Sunset Harbor to verify this refund issuance? That would be a suggestion. Or how about your attorney making that call? And do keep us all posted on what happens. While I am more optimistic about PRL than (it would seem) many here, I do not have blinders on and am VERY interested how your parent's situation ultimately resolves.
