Complaint Description:
Unlawful deceptive sales tactics .and misrepresentation, omission of facts, exaggerations of timeshare use of product anytime etc.. We entered into a timeshare agreement with Starpoint Resorts on 11/05/2017. On that day we were given a glowing presentation by a salesman named Phil he enticed us with a grand picture of what our timeshare ownership with Sapphire/Starpoint Resorts would be if we signed a contract. We were given tickets and dinner at a discount not even free as they had promised. we were told that the time share would be available to our children for their use anytime, and were told this would be the most flexible way for us to vacation inasmuch as we could travel anywhere at any time under our membership. Most importantly, we were led to believe this was a valuable investment. We were assured any time we were not the least bit happy with our ownership, we could sell it back to Starpoint. We found out pretty quickly this timeshare ownership is far from the extremely flexible vacationing that we were promised. Nothing is EVER available when we are free and able to travel. we have tried to use it, only to be told there is no availability. Nor been able to use one time since we bought. we have not been able to use our timeshare not one single time.because of lack of availability at our chosen times. To date, or we would need to pay more money. We have been trying to get a response to our concerns from Starpoint over the course of the last few months. We have called, sent emails and letters to this company, and our legitimate concerns still have NEVER been addressed. Not only are we told that we are unable to sell it back to the company as promised but, our complaints have been completely ignored or responded to with a message that we are in breach of our contract. also the finance company has been illegally Overcharging our account with excessive interest fees and late charges well over the agreed interest rate. for example my payment is $123.54. on 8/14/2018. I made a payment of $155. They applied $1.81 toward my principal and $121.19 toward the interest rate which is 21.14% $7 on impound fee.and $25. late fee. they can never give you a formula to explain why. 3 years of payments and this is a never ending pattern of over charges and fees. which would never be paid off. We were misled into this contract with Sapphire/Starpoint we were told our session would only be 90 minutes we held there almost 6 hours. all terms of contract were never explained to us. we weren't told we had 3 days to cancel . we weren't told or explained to that we would have to go a arbitration instead of lawsuit. if we had a dispute with this nightmare of a company. we didn't get any paper work until 3 weeks later . they pressured and rushed us threw this entire process with lies and misrepresentation and deceptive practices by not explaining 3 day cancellation rights or giving us our paper work to read after leaving jockey club hotel. they also told us we were owners and partners that had legal rights to use the cosmopolitan hotel and that we could book their and stay anytime . and now our stated concerns have been ignored by everyone at this company. We demand to have not only our contract with Sapphire/ Starpoint Resorts not only be rescinded but, to be refunded. the money we have regrettably invested in this scam. if their is a class action lawsuit please sign us up. we are in process of getting attorney.

I would also like to be added to the lawsuit. We were basically forced by aggressive fast talking people from sapphire/star point agents and they made me and my boyfriend sign up not telling us all the details we didn’t find out that we would have to pay them for eternity until after they locked us in. They told us so many lies and told us we would get a free trip to Hawaii if we signed up and once we signed up they told us that we couldn’t get the free trip until months later. Once we got the certificate saying we could go, the certificate stated that we would need to pay nearly $500 in order to go. But when we were listening to their presentation they lied to us and told us that the trip was FREE and we had to pay NOTHING. This was a scam & they are taking money out of our accounts saying that we have to pay for a real estate loan that we never knew anything about. No one informed us about these tricks that they were going to pull later and they did not tell us that we had to pay nearly $800 a year even after we paid what they asked us to pay. We have still not been able to book trips and even when we tried they told us that we had to pay. I want out of this timeshare. Please help. My email is babyygirl.shaa@gmail.com

Please add me to the list. My email is krystalharrison72@gmail.com I posted my complaint. They are the biggest scammers ever. I can't believe I let them bully me in signing. I felt like it was the only way I could leave. Every time I said no, they would send another person. Very aggressive sales team who will lie to get a sale. I want my money back. Can never use it or get anyone on the phone.

Same story but I didn't do the full purchase. I kept telling no. Their sales team is very aggressive. They sold me a 3 year trail package which I opt to make payments and not financed. Never received free trip. Was told there was no maintenance fees with this resort during presentation. I paid my 3 years in full and now I'm receiving collections for maintenance fees. I want a refund and to be added to the class action lawsuit.

No matter when you call no one answers your phone call. It go straight to voicemail and said they will get back to you but they don't. And there's never any openings to book your stay. And you're correct none of your payments go to the principal it all goes to the interest. So you'll never pay it off.

I would like to be included in this lawsuit as well. My wife and I were conned into buying this back in 2020. We haven't been able to use it, and they charge the annual management fees and Grey Card fees. No one has been helpful in assisting us to book anything, and it is never useful for the places where I travel for work.

Please let me know how to do this. My email is loomisenator@gmail.com I'd be happy just to walk away from the $8100+ that we've paid at this point, $6k for the "timeshare" plus the annual fees.

i was also scammed. Nothing is ever available where and when you want. 5000 points a year isn't enough for anything. I told them they can keep the money and just let me out of the contract but of course they are not willing to even do that. Try selling it for $1.00 and nobody wants it. If there is a law suit, please add me. Eliot
