Re: Timeshare Sell Scams (by Diane R.):

Buyer beware!!! I paid this company $434.00 and later asked my credit card company not to pay them. I am currently being sued by this company because I signed a paper saying that I understood that they were selling me a self-help package of documents I could use to send to timeshare resale companies who had scammed me, and that I understood their refund policy that if I decided not to use their package, I had to return it within 3 days unopened. Because I trusted their sales pitch, I opened the documents and discovered several errors of omission and, in one case, a completely wrong addressee. They correct the addressee, but did nothing about the other errors. I refused to pay for what I cannot use. They are suing me because I signed the papers saying I understood their refund policy. Their collection agent contacted me again today saying they would drop the lawsuit if I would pay $250. I said I had offered to pay $100. He said that $200 was the final offer and that if I did not call them back today they would proceed with the lawsuit.
