Time-Shares - Tahiti Village Time Share


Expert: Sean Austin - 10/29/2009

Question
Last year I was scooped to buy a time share in TahitiVillage Phase II. After sales pitch and false promises they got me to sign a contract and told me that if at any point of time, I'll make more money than I paid. Value of a time share increases 20% every year and that i'll get six free trips to somewhere. They also told me that they are so prompt that any letter I write to them will be answered using FedEx.
 But 12 months later I fid this all a freaky dream. i wanted to sell time share and nobody wants to buy it because of Bankrupt owners, increasing annual fees (they increased maintenance charges by more than $100  this year. All the free vacations and getaways were a hoax. I feel so cheated and let down. I can not concentrate on my studies, every two hours they call my home phone and office phone and tell everybody that I own a timeshare and that I owe them money. This is a ridiculous situation and they have not even replied any of my mails,  have written them in last 10 months.
 I don't know what to do. Please advise
Regards

Answer
plasmid,

The best advice i can give you would of course to stop paying your monthly dues, because when you do this you are agreeing to a contract with terms that were misleading. Because the company is filing for bankruptcy, unfortunately the chances of you being able to cancel your contract or recouping any money spent are very minimal. Your best option would be to stop paying anything so that you can prove that you dont agree with the terms of the contract.
