Resort Scams

What are resort scams? How do resort scams affect you as a consumer? Are you a victim of a resort scam? What rights do you have as a consumer if you believe you are a victim of a resort scam? Consumers are asking themselves these questions daily, before, and after they have purchased a timeshare from a resort. Many of these consumers do not have any idea that they are victims until they have indeed purchased.
Resort scams are any sort of misrepresentation, or deceptive sales practices that happen to consumers when they buy a timeshare. If you purchased a timeshare in the past ten years, odds are you are a victim. Many timeshare owners are unaware they are actually a victim, until they start to use their timeshare. Generally first year of use on any new purchase is the following year, unless it is a bi-annual, or tri-annual contract. So some consumers might not know for two, or three years. By this time the stated rescission period in the contract is obviously over, and they are left thinking they cannot get out of the contract.
When first finding out that you are a victim of a resort scam, you need to assess all the facts form your purchase. These facts are very important, they will help you cancel a fraudulent contract, and possibly get your money back. You have rights as a consumer, contrary to what the resort staff tells you. Most of the time, consumers find these facts out when they call the resort, and try to use the timeshare.
The resorts first job, when you find these facts out, is to spin you around, and make it seem like you are the one who is in the wrong. Resorts will use any means necessary to keep you in your timeshare, including threats of legal action, if YOU do not continue to pay for the timeshare. This in the timeshare cancellation industry, we call scare tactics. The resort wants to scare you into submission. They know they are wrong, but until you process any type of formal complaint; the resort is exempt from action. They will try to brow beat, threaten, or coerce you into keeping your timeshare.
This is why you need Timeshare-Answers. We are a professional consumer advocacy company that specializes in helping timeshare owners cancel timeshare contracts.

Timeshare Scam

All our weeks are red weeks because this is the number 1 vacation destination in the world” Timeshare Scam! “You will be able to go anywhere anytime” Timeshare Scam! “You can use it for the next 10 years and then sell it for what you bought it for” Timeshare Scam! “If you can travel in the future the resort will buy your week back” Timeshare Scam! The list of misrepresentations the timeshare sales people and the timeshare companies are telling you is just the beginning of the largest timeshare scam picture! You do not need to be a victim of these billion dollar companies. Why would you believe them when they tell you, there is no way to get out of the timeshare unless you sell it. Who are you going to sell it to, when people that own timeshares paid 10’s of thousands and in many cases 100’s of thousands, and they are paid in full, selling them on eBay for $1. That is because they have no resale value! It is all part of a huge timeshare scam.

Timeshare Resort Scams



Many timeshare resorts are scamming consumers everyday. It is costing consumers millions of dollars a year just to pay for a timeshare they did not want and got talked into purchasing based on false promises. The average timeshare owner spends over five thousand dollars a year for their timeshare, and the fees will continue for the lifetime of ownership even after the timeshare is paid in full.

Consumers who have experienced this type of scam or fraud when they purchased their timeshare usually did not realize what was happening to them. The timeshare companies put elaborate congratulatory ceremonies together after you buy to make you feel like you have done something beneficial for your family and yourself. They make you believe many lies told during the presentation, the biggest is that you are buying something of value that will benefit your family for years to come. This is A LIE, there is nothing beneficial from buying a timeshare. It has no value, you cannot resell it or rent it, and it ends up costing you thousands of dollars more than you would have spent for an average yearly vacation.

If you believe you have fallen victim to a timeshare resort scam or have questions about your timeshare then you need Timeshare-Answers.

Get Rid of Timeshare


Every day, consumers all around the world are thinking about getting rid of their timeshares. They remember all the promises that were made at the sales presentation and quickly realize that none of those promises were kept. Most of represented facts turn out to be outright lies, and fraud. Consumers spend billions of dollars a year on these fraudulent purchases. Timeshare owners need more government oversight of these sales processes. Unfortunately the timeshare resorts spend millions of dollars every year to lobby in their favor, which has benefited the position of the timeshare company and not the consumer. Change is coming, but it is a slow process. Calling a professional consumer advocacy company like Timeshare-Answers can help you know your rights, and can make the idea of getting rid of timeshare a reality.

Timeshare Attorneys


Is there such a thing as Timeshare Attorneys? Timeshare Attorneys do exist, however this is not a field that is readily pursued by law students. Some Real estate Attorneys will take on a client with a timeshare, but this is very rare. If the Attorney does decide to take the case, they would need a license in the state or country the timeshare is located. Additionally the amount of money invested in a timeshare does not generally attract the attention of most attorneys. They are usually looking for a much larger contract to charge more fees. The average attorney charges between $200-$300 an hour and the average timeshare cancellation takes about 3-6 months or 100-150 hours of work to cancel. In short Timeshare Attorneys do not have the time, expertise, or license to handle Timeshare Cancellations.  Timeshare-Answers has all of these resources and ONLY specializes in the timeshare owners needs.

Timeshare Fraud

Many timeshare owners have been sold timeshares under false pretenses. With today’s economy at an all time low, resort companies and their sales representatives are using unscrupulous tactics to sell their timeshares. In 8 out of 10 timeshare sales we have found the purchaser has been told multiple lies during their sales presentation and purchase.

Some of these lies or so common that they are repeated over and over to consumers, presented as fact, which gets them to sign on the dotted line. It is not until after their rescission period that the truth is uncovered.  We here at Timeshare-Answers call this is TIMESHARE FRAUD. The definition of fraud is
1. Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
2. A person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.
Some of the most common TIMESHARE FRAUD misrepresentations are as follows:
1. Told you can sell or rent the timeshare for a profit.
2. Travel anytime and anywhere.
3. Resort would buy it back if you’re unsatisfied.
4. The timeshare would appreciate like real estate.
5. Could refinance once you returned home from your vacation at a much lower interest rate.
6. The price you are buying the timeshare for would no longer be valid once you leave the resort.
7. The timeshare is a tax write off.
8. You must be present at a yearly owner updates. (Where of course they try to sell you more timeshare with more lies)
9. All of the timeshare resorts are pet friendly.
10. Maintenance and taxes would never change.

If any of these statements sound familiar, you need Timeshare-Answers. Call us today for a free consultation and learn the truth. Knowledge is power, let us empower you today! 1-888-722-2648 or visit our website Timeshare-Answers.com

How to get rid of a timeshare


HOW TO GET RID OF A TIMESHARE?  This is a question many timeshare owners are asking themselves after the honeymoon stage of the initial purchase is over? The congratulations ceremony after the papers are signed is not really for the timeshare buyer. The balloons, drinks, bells and whistles and all the other fancy gimmicks timeshare companies use, is just a way to get new buyers mind off the fact they just financed something with no value, at 17 percent. If you look at what you actually purchased with your hard earned money, what is there to celebrate?  The fact you are paying twice the purchase amount over a 120-month finance period? The fact that you own something with no resale value or simply that you will never really be able to use it as promised? None if this makes any sense and the average consumer soon realizes this when the bubble is burst. The question then becomes: HOW TO GET RID OF A TIMESHARE?

  There is no simple answer to this question, but there is a solution. Call Timeshare-Answers. We offer a free initial consultation to go over the facts of the purchase including all the specific verbal promises that were made. The majority of timeshare contracts are signed without even reading the fine print. The “Deeder” or “Closing Agent” rushes the purchaser through pages of documents, initial here, sign there, etc. SOUNDS FAMILIAR? Then it isn't until the new timeshare owner is home that they actually read what has been signed. Shock sets in; blood pressure is elevated, and the anger and shame generally starts. Most people do not want to believe that the nice, innocent, and charismatic sales person lied to them. THEY WERE PAID TO DECEIVE YOU. THAT CELEBRATION WAS FOR THE RESORT AND NOT FOR YOU!!! 

Call Timeshare-Answers now for your free consultation, and learn the truth, and answers to the question; HOW TO GET RID OF A TIMESHARE?

Timeshare Law


Timeshare Laws exist in every state and country timeshare is sold. Timeshare laws govern the way timeshares are sold, and the rights afforded to the purchaser. There are many timeshare laws that are designed to help protect the consumer.  Regardless of the laws that are in place, there are still many timeshare owners who have been misrepresented and deceived during their purchase. Some of the most common Timeshare Law violations are: being told that you are purchasing something of value, or the Timeshare itself is not what you purchased. (Thought you had every year usage and end up with every other year). It does not matter what was misrepresented, it only matters that there was a misrepresentation. If you are unhappy and need help call Timeshare-Answers we can help.
