You may also desire to go to a site that we had to set up to deal with an old 78 year old man who does not like the fact that we help people named Bill Bauer AKA Credit Wrench or CreditWrench at www.BillBauerFacts.com . It is a good Read on how twisted stuff can become on the internet!
Also, because of the large volume of mail that I receive from around the world, it may take up to a week to get back to you, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS!!! I do seminars and travel all over the world, so Please be kind in your ratings of Timeliness! If you have an emergency, go to www.WesternCapitalVip.com
Immediately!
Finally, what we are doing has never been done before. I am a Time Share Sales Trainer, and the fact that this subject and profile has received the worldwide media attention that it has received, we are now getting hundreds of time share companies contacting our offices asking us to train their staffs. This is a good investment, even though it is $15,000 USD for four days of training. Why, because, RCI, Interval and their members know that there is no better way to train their staff and to cover their butts than to hire me, Robert Paisola to train them, that way they do not end up on this site, and believe me there are thousands of organizations that sell timeshares that monitor every word that I write to you. That is just THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
Finally, I want all of my readers around the world to know that I visit hundreds of properties around the world and I have found a property in Cancun Mexico called THE ME HOTEL. It is formally known as ME BY MELIA. I have spent almost 60 nights there in the past 3 months working on my new book. I have met the owners and have a relationship with this property. They go above and beyond at every moment. This is 4 star resort. So, if you are looking for a place to go that is safe, modern, new, and a place that I personally recommend, then the Me by Melia in Cancun Mexico is at the top of my list.
Also...
Another word of advice is NEVER EVER buy or step foot on a SUNSET RESORT property. We were doing a tour in Cancun Mexico and you would not believe the video that we have of the management and their comments about Americans. Read my review in Conde Nast next month.
Time-Shares - Island One Resorts - Screws Pregnant Mother- Who is Monse? Robert Paisola Responds
Expert: Robert Paisola CEO and President, TimeShareChronicles.com - 1/22/2008
Question Hello,
I really hope you can help me as I am just about at my wits end. Back in May of 2004 My husband (then fiance) and I signed up for a one week stay in a resort, for which we paid in total $1295.00. We only paid part of that at the time to the pushy sales person, the rest we set up payments through a crediting service. Here is what happened:
We walked out with a contract, but were told we'd be mailed one with more info a few days later. They sent our copy of the contract to some family many states away, and we received theirs. Of course, this was upsetting as the contract had our names, address, social security numbers, and such on it. We tried to contact the family whose info we were sent, but they were not very receptive to us. We asked them to destroy our contract if they received it, and we promptly shredded theirs, because that is the honorable thing to do. After this, we were furious with Island One for being so careless with our information. We called to notify that we mailed out a cancellation letter, and to report the problem. The person we spoke with was apologetic, and said that they would resend our contract to us. Big surprise, it never turned up. This one too, may have been accidently sent to someone else, but we have no idea who. After one more call, we finally received our copy in the mail. By now, the 10 days to cancel were up, and we called to make sure they had received our cancellation letter and to see how to get our refund. The person we spoke with claimed that they had never received our letter, but that we could try to send in another. It was of course now beyond the time for them to refund, and I know we made an error in not sending the letter by certified mail. I spoke with another associate, who said that we could be given a refund if we continued to make our payments they had already set up, and when the full amount was received they could issue a total refund. It sounded odd to me, but being 20 years old (my fiance was 26) and very short on money, we thought it would be better to pay and get the full refund rather than them hassle us about canceling and loose the money we'd already invested.
During this time, my husband started noticing charges showing up on his credit card that were nothing that we had charged. He quickly called the credit card company to dispute the charges, and ended up having to cancel the card and to get a new one. We angrily called Island One to report this, as we had never had problems until they had sent our personal information to other people. Also since then, I have had bankruptcy claims and such showing up on my credit report.
Of course, after we made all of the payments they said "no refund, but when would you like your vacation?". We have been harassed for years now by these people trying to get us to use our vacation, that they keep "extending" our rental agreement to be nice to us, when we have flatly told them that we want nothing to do with them and still want our refund. I still am having credit issues, and I am sick to death of these people. I know that we made some errors, but I think their lying and careless ways are deplorable. What should we do?
I have been telling our story and working my way up through the ladder of slimeballs at Island One, and I am now waiting on a call from "Monse" (I did confirm spelling). Monse has supposedly been there for 11 years and "remembers everything". PLEASE help me. I am now 6 1/2 months pregnant with my second daughter, and I am so weary of the hassle. I just want our money back and to be left alone by these people. Thank you for any help that you can give!!!
Answer Penny,
Thank you for taking the time to write to me on your issue with ISLAND RESORTS and ISLAND ONE Resorts.
What I want you to do is to write the company and copy them on this letter. Ask them for a full refund and explain what you have done to try to resolve this matter.
Since you are now six months pregnant, I do not want this matter to stress you out, and I am sure that the timeshare company will not want to inflict further damage on you or your family.
For an example of how we deal with companies like this...
Once you do this, get back to me and let me know how they respond and we will further assist you.
Please take time to leave positive feedback on this site so that people know that I do care and will help them also.
