Help!!!! (by Kathy M.):

I also was tricked into the so called less expensive way to vacation. I was on my honeymoon when my husband and I were approached on the beach. We went to the presentation and they kept us there all day and fed us and I told them we couldn't afford it and they told us they would make it affordable, so we agreed on the very most we could afford.(never once was the amount of the assessments ever mentioned, imagine that) by the time they were done scamming us all the staff had left and our sales person couldn't find our contract copy, they told us to come back the next day and they would have it. We'll we returned the next day and again no one knew where it was. This was back in November 2012 and I just now received a copy (March 2014) I have talk to them repeatedly after we never received it after returning home, they kept saying they would send it and never did. I should have cancelled the next day but didn't due to them being so reassuring that this was the best of the best. They bribed us into paying off early then as soon as we did then they worked us for the maintenance early and we fell for it again. Then BAM here came the 2200.00 assessment. We are total tapped out. I used retirement money and maxed my credit card on this. Wow was this the biggest predatory scam ever. They won't even give me anything stating that when I would pay the assessment they won't hit me with another bill for another huge bill. Did you find any one to work with you on getting out from under this very expensive money pit that we have been deceived into buying? This has all been at the expense of a year heart ache, stress and trouble sleeping not knowing what the hell to do. They now are threatening to ruin the little bit if good credit I have left.. Please give me any ideas of what I can do.
