Monique, Thanks for the link to this company. I actually managed to find them on the internet and spoke with someone (can't remember his name now). He was extremely knowledgeable re Sandos and I think his company is the real deal, but what they primarily do is to help people who want to get out of paying for the annual maint. fees and are willing to just walk away from what they paid for their contract. He's been very successful at getting the contracts cancelled. I was more interested in getting Sandos to buy us out because they were not honoring the written agreement. I actually like the resort, I just want them to give us what they agreed to in writing. What I was told is that, in Mexico, even if I took Sandos to court and the court forced them to honor the written contract, Sandos would probably just stop doing again (and I'd be back where I was, but out a lot of attorney costs) and legally, I would be prohibited from going to court again for the same issue! Unbelievable!

I beg to differ .... if you signed a legally binding contract to purchase a timeshare in MX then there's no entity that can get you OUT of that contract, period, UNLESS you can prove fraud and then you need to contact PROFECO (the consumer advocacy agency in MX) .... they are the only entity that can help you .... all others that contact you only want your money, then you're history.

You say Sandos is not honoring the written contract .... exactly what are they not honoring?

It would seem the fellow you talked to is a success in his own mind only.
