timeshare hell
Amanda crawford called me numerous times to sell my timeshare at krystal cancun with them. After about the 6th call, I listed with timeshare solutions for $699. Clean title, no money owed or liens, etc. Listed about 4 months ago. She no longer works there, will not return messages I have left on her personel cell number. I have called customer service...

We paid $199.00 in sept of 2006 for fairfield resales to resell our fairfield timeshares. We never heard from them until 9 months had elapsed. We were off and on with them until they called in august of 2007 with the name now changed to timeshare solutions. The deal was that our timeshare would be put into a corporation buy out plan. We and 2 other couple...

Paid $300 to start the process of selling our timeshare to a corporation that buys them for company meetings. Assured us that they had enough to meet the demand of the corporation. Then sent $700 to transfer the deed. Was assured that if the sale was not completed in 9 months a full refund would be guaranteed at 100%. Have been unable to contact this scam group by phone or e-mail.

rip off!
Bill Elis of Timeshare Solutions called and offered to sell my timeshare for a $99 upfront fee which was returnable if he failed to sell it within one year. An additional fee was to be paid when the timeshare sold. About three months later Bill Elis called and said the timeshare was sold to Ciba and another $425 was due to handle processing. I called in February to see why I hadn't heard anything since November and was advised by a female that everything was proceeding and the sale was to take place in March.
I called in April and found the mailbox for the toll free line was full. Calls to the local number [protected]) resulted in a message indicating the line was disconnected.

definite ripoff!!!
Like the rest of you, we got caught, too!!! Some minor differences in the story about the name change from fairfield resales to timeshare solutions (said wyndham made them do it). Said they had a buyer for our grand desert timeshare but need to pay half the closing costs. The only time I got a call back from them was because I threatened to make my next...

Thanks to your complaint website and blog, I was "only" out my $99 that I paid over a year ago. The "very nice" salesperson jim bradey who later on told me to eat yourself #, comment after I told him that I was not interested. The offer was to sell my timehare to sprint and for me to pay half of the closing costs of $800. Fortunately I had read your blog. I would love to be included in a lawsuit against these ripoff artists.

robbed me of $799!
This company offered to sell my timeshares for Cypress Palms in FL. They charged me $799 to list my deed. They guaranteed a sale or would refund my $799. Bob Downey and Bill Elis lied to me and told me they sold my timeshare units and I would soon receive a form to sign. This has been going on for almost 6 months. They do not return my calls. They do however, still have my $799.

This company contacted us Jan 2007 to sell our timeshare. We paid the $99 to them. After the 9 month contract was over we had never heard from them, so I called. Bill Elis then said I know your contract is up, but the thing is I've sold your timeshare, but need $475 for closing costs tonight to get the deal going right away. We sold your timeshare to a company named CIBA in a group lot and you will be receiving your money by the beginning of January. I called back the middle of January, as had heard nothing, and was then called back by a Bob Downey, who was yelling at me saying sometimes timeshares take 4mnths. to close, what are you worried about you'll get your money! You will get your money by the beginning of March. Called again in March only to find out he phone numbers had been disconnected! What a rip-off, we are some angry people right now looking for some answers! If anyone who is also in this same situation has any answers, please e-mail us! Thank You!

Sun property networks is a scam do not do business with them
she's just doing her job! if your stupid enough to deal with THE COMPANY well then thats your stupidity. this country is clearing off jobs, and houses are going into forclosure. if you had a family, you'd probably do your job to. so stop believing stupid scams like this.
hey, dont call my mom a ###!
Countrywide was the one that scammed me. They were going by Sun Property Networks too. They trick you into signing an ad contract and coach you into saying the right things for the recorded verifyer with the promise they have a buyer and that the fees are for closing costs, not and ad! Once they get your money you'll never hear from them again. They're using fake mailing adresses too, so you can't even send them written certified mail if you want to cancel in the cooling off period. Kathryn Garten is a lying ###. Don't deal with this charlitan. She claimed she was an attorney in their closing department. I don't think she is really an attorney but if she is she should be disbarred for fraud and deceptive business practices. Does anyone know who actually owns Countrywide timeshare?
Beware of COUNTRYWIDE Timeshares as well. They have the best scam and the biggest ### in the business! SCAM SCAM SCAM. Believe NOONE at this company! BEWARE of countrywide.
the double rip-off!
We were solicited over a year ago to let timeshare solutions sell our timeshare in kissimee (orlando) fl. The year passed with no word, and we figuered "oh well, at least we only wasted $100. It wasnt worth chasing down. Then one day we receive a call from bill ellis, (one of the principals) saying that if we would apply the $100 to his current project, and...

unauthorized charges!
I received a call from Bill Elis of Timeshare Solutions stating they took over the Fairfield Resales company and that his company was targeting owners with VIP status. He said he had a corporation buying these timeshares for their corporate use and said it would only be a one time charge of $400.00 from me, as this corporation will pay him commission.in a gullible, trusting move, I agreed to pay the fee and he promised the sale would be closed within 6 weeks of our agreement. This was August of 2006 and then the nightmare began when there was no communication from him afterwards and when I did call, the excuses began. I was told there was a delay because one of the owners defaulted in their timeshare which set back the deal for me and the group of other owners. Then when I called in October, I was told everything was being handled by Bob as Mr. Elis had terminated his employment with the company. This guy Bob with whom I spoke to all of one time, told me to be patient because they found another owner to make up for the one that defaulted and they would be closing the deal within 2 weeks. Of course 2 weeks came and went and then I spoke with yet another representative of this company named Michelle and she said she would do follow up with Bob. Fed up, I had a letter sent from my attorney addressing the issue and the response I got back from Bill Elis (who was still there), was that I was well aware they were a marketing and advertising company, not a real estate company and the one time processing fee was to list my timeshare only, per the agreement signed. The vague agreement stated it was a for sale by owner company but not one mention that they are a marketing and advertising company only. Mr. Elis never mentioned one iota of his promises he made to seal the deal and believing his sincerity, I convinced a personal friend who had VIP status also, to call and get in on this great opportunity. He too was given the exact same lies and now I am ashamed to face this person who paid even more money than I did. I wrote email to Mr. Elis about his unscrupulous sales tactics (not that I know he even cares) and noted the company should change the name to Timeshare Solutions befitting the stench of their business conduct.

Me too! Someone please help. Consolidate "members" for the appropriate suit. If I had only contacted my credit card timely.
If anyone knows a way we can form together and offer a lawyer the opportunity for a class action suit. I would be willing to allow a lawyer to keep all he/she could recover of my part in order to get these individuals and stop the fraud.
We also were taken in by the same people. We also had our friends call but thankfully they decided to wait. Anyone doing a lawsuit against them we would be interested in joining in. As we stated in a letter to them (and I have a copy of the contract we signed stating they were "selling this for us" to a corporate company it is now not just about the $799.00 we had to pay but the principal of the bad business and scamming they are doing. We singed the "contract" in October, 2007 and had some contact with them on and off and now nothing. THe number is no longer valid etc. In the contract we signed w/them they stated they are SELLING the timeshare. Our timeshare was located in Wisconsin Dells.
I also was suckered into giving money to this company in good faith. I wish I looked into this company more carefully. I hope this company goes down. I'm glad there is complaints because at least we can let other people to stay away from these kind of companies...
scammers and ripoffs!
I was contacted by Timeshare Solutions by phone to advertise my timeshare for sale. I payed $99.00 for this around 2/2007. I was contacted by Bill Elis of Timeshare Solutions on 9/14/2007. He stated he had sold my timeshare to CIBA for $20160.00. He said that they would pay half the closing costs of $1600.00 and I would need to pay my half to get the deal sealed. I agreed but wanted it in writing so they emailed me a sheet to sign stating that I agreed to sell for $20160.00 and agreed to pay $800.00 for closing costs. I paid this with my Discover card. I was told by Bill Elis that in 30-45 days I would have my money. I contacted Bill Elis after this time and he said I would have my money by 11/23/2007. When that passed I called again and was given to Bob Downey. He said that everything was ok and that I would have my money by the end of December. This also passed. Once again I contacted Bob Downey and he gave me a date of 1/3/2008. Still no money, I contacted Bob Downey again on 1/2/2008 and he said that one of the people that were selling to CIBA lied on the app and they had to get one more timeshare to close the deal. He said not to worry that I would have my money in 2 weeks. I contacted CIBA on 1/31/2008 and talked to Kathryn Scott, Financial Controls Officer, for CIBA and ask about their buying timeshares for their employees to use. She stated that they have not and will not be buying timeshares and have never had contact with Timeshare Solutions. Now at this point their phone number and fax are no longer good.

I was also called by Bill Ellis reguarding selling my timeshare. He also required a $99.00 fee and told me the same ### like the others, and then contacted me two months later. He said the timeshare was sold to a corporation for there employee's and required a $450.00 for closing. When I attempted to make contact again to check on closing status, I received alot of rude remark's from Bill and Bob. They continued to pass the buck to each other about staying in touch with me. I contacted the Las Vegas Better Buisness Bureau and learned about the laws for Navada and 4 other states are not the same as the rest of the united states.Everyone should learn where the companys you do buisness with are located (in what states) for your rights.For very little money you can start a buisness in these states and screw anybody, and get away with it. Now every time someone call's me about selling my timeshare for me. I fill like reaching through the telephone and ripping the head off, and ( shting) down there throat.
I went through all the same things, although the dollar amounts were slightly different. I just filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) for Timeshare Solutions and another one for 1st National Marketing. Stupid me, I got scammed by two crooks.
My husband and I were contacted by Bill Elis in 2006, we paid $99.00 at that time to sell out timeshare, .We also were told we would get a refund if it wasn't sold within 9 months. I called several times to find out what was happening, finally in Nov 2008, Bill Elis contacted us saying a major corporation was buying groups of times shares to give to their employees. and that we could get $16, 800. for our time share, but we had to come up with $550. toward the closing costs. We put this on the same card, we had originally used.We were told we would get a form in the mail with an agreement for us to sign and send back, we got the form in the mail within a few days, and sent it back. We were told we would get some paper work to have notorized and send back, and then we would get either a certified check or have our money direct deposited in our bank. We were told it would take 45- 60 days after the 60 days I called and was told that it was 60 working days, so again we waited, still nothing, finally I called and got an answering machine saying to leave my number and they would call back. After about a week A Robert Downing called back, he said everything was comming along fine and the paperwork would be in our hands by March 19th and to call him back, if we didn't get it by then. Well I called back on the 20th, of course got the answering machine again. It is now March 23rd and he still hasn't returned my call, and we still have not received anything.
We have been going through the EXACT same thing for the last six months. Same story, same $800 for half the closing costs, same story about selling to CIBA and then someone lied on one of the timeshares and they had to go sell just one more and we'll get out money. Just like several of you I have been trying to sell my timeshare for several years. The time share resellers ALWAYS want the commission up front. I don't think there is an honest one out there. How about a class action law suit against them?
i am so frustrated. i have been trying to sell my property for 5 years and i have had five or six different companies supposedly trying to sell this thing. it was the biggest mistake of my life buying it in the first place. now i can't get rid of it. the comments that i have read so far are identical to the letter as what my wife and i have been going through with this outfit. only thing is is that this bunch first contacted me Feb. 23 2007 and i paid them 800 dollars to get it started and that if they did not have it sold in 9 months that i would get my money back. well before the 9 months were up this bill ellis called me and that my file just came across his desk and that he had to get it sold asap. in a week or two he called me back and gave me the biusness he gave these other complaintents. we where so desperate to get it sold. we thought our prayers have been answered. so then he gave us the line about the same $800.00 to cover half of the closing costs and we were so desperate we did it again. except they said they had it sold for $24,640.00 to a corperation that was spending 1.5 million for alot of time share properties to use as tax right offs. i even got this letter in the mail about the 800 dollar trandsaction and the amount they had it sold for.when nothing happened for a couple of weeks i called and he gave me the same run around about they lied on the application. BULL the only one lying here is ellis. when i did finally get ahold of Ellis again which took weeks he said i understand your anger but i don't get paid until it is sold and he is upset to. what a joke.
We too have been scammed by bill elis & bob downey. We paid 99.00 for them to sell our timeshare on 1/28/07. After the 9 month contract I contacted bill elis and said I wanted my 99.00 back as he had not sold my timeshare. He said oh I've been trying to contact you, I just sold your timeshare for 27,100.00, but we need 475.00 for closing costs because we sold it to a company named Ciba and you will have to pay 1/2 of closing costs and you will receive your money on 1/08. Didn't ever hear anything so called again on 1/15 and then was called by a Bob Downey who started yelling at me saying sometimes timeshares take 4months to close, so just wait you will get your money by the beginning to the middle of March. I tried calling yesterday as this is the middle of March and neither phone number is in service. What can a person do now?
I was contacted by Timeshare Solutions to advertise my timeshare.I paid Bill Ellis 99.00 to advertise it. Then on 10-27-07 he sent me a fax saying my Timeshare was sold and wanted to put 600.00 on my credit card for closing cost. So I faxed the paper back agreeing to pay the cost at closing and cancelled by credit card for he still had my numbers when he ripped me off of 99.00 from before. As of this day he will not call me back.
terrible company!
I was contacted by Bill Elis of 'Timeshare Solutions' by phone to advertise my timeshare for sale. I payed $99.00 for this around 10May07 and stated I needed about $38,500 for my property. At 1821hrs on 10Sep07, I was contacted by Bill Elis of Timeshare Solutions. He stated he had sold my timeshare to CIBA GEIGY in a group purchase for $41,000. He said that they would pay half the closing costs of $1,600 and I would need to pay my half to get the deal sealed.
After many questions to him, I agreed, but wanted it in writing so they emailed me a sheet to sign stating that I agreed to sell for $41,000 and agreed to pay $800 for closing costs. I paid this with my VISA card and I was told by Bill Elis that in 45-60 days I would have my money. Wanting to know what was going on, I called Bill Elis on 30 Oct 07 at 1543hrs and left a message for him to call. He returned my call on 31 Oct 07 at 1708hrs and got my voicemail and called back at 2115hrs. At this time, he told me we were 'coming right along' and that Bob Downing would be 'the guy doing the closing.' Bill Elis said I would have my money by mid Nov.
When that that passed I called again, then again at 1523hrs, 4 Jan 08 and left a voicemail message with office for Bill Elis or Bob Downing to call me. Bob Downing actually returned the call on 10 Jan @1745hrs and left voicemail that he was 'doing the paperwork' and left the 1-800 # so I could call him, or he'd call back. Finally, @1303hrs I called both numbers to reach him and he called back @1721hrs. He said that everything was ok, but I needed to sign, notarize and send right back disclosure paperwork he was sending and in 2 weeks we should have our money. Still no money because no paperwork ever arrived, and, when trying to contact them, all the phone numbers are no longer working, connected or answered!
I contacted CIBA on 1/31/2008 and talked to Kathryn Scott, Financial Controls Officer, for CIBA and ask about their buying timeshares for their employees to use. She stated that they have not and will not be buying timeshares and have never had contact with Timeshare Solutions.
Now at this point, 'Timeshare Solutions' phone numbers and fax are no longer good. It is class action time! These people need to be stopped!

Is this the same company as timeshare Solutions plus because I’m very scared to give someone my money if they can help me do anyone know if these two are the same company
In October I was contacted by this company to sell my timeshare at Branson. It sounded too good to be true. I went ahead and let them list my timeshare for $899. They said it would be sold within 3 months. It has now been 5 months and I have yet to hear back from them. Please don't trust anyone who says it can be sold.
We became involved with this company January 2007. They told us the same story as the others, same names everything the same, including the company Ciba that had bought our timeshare. We were supposed to receive our money Jan 2008, then told us not until March 2008. Tried to call this company recently. but all phone numbers are out of service! They need to be stopped!
K Scheler, You have wrote a complaint about Time Share Solutions (2 words located in Va.), you are complaining about Timeshare Solutions 1 word in Nevada) Get your grammer corrected. Time Share Solutions in Va. does not do ts listing at all.
These complaints about timeshare solutions are dated. Any current complaints. We've been solicited by them and we want to sell our marriot grande vista platinum 2 bedroom unit. They'll do this for $499. plus $400 for closing. Any comments?
Thanks to all of these posters for providing this information. Timshare Solutions called me last night and thanks to the bad history communicated here I am thankful I told them to call me back later. If they do they will get an earful.
Jim
Quick Sale Propertys.com has approached me in a similar fashion. They stated, as well, that there was an international purchaser for my timeshare that was willing to pay $20, 400.00 for it. This I found strange as I have it listed for sale with another company (yet another story of false promises) for half that price. For a mere $1, 900 that I would forward to them as closing costs, they promised to send me the completed sale price of $ 18, 500.
When something seems too good to be true...it usually is!
has anyone delt with Quick Sale property. com. They have been calling me stating that they have an international buyer for my time share willing to pay $16, 500 + my maintance fees that I paid and all closing costs. But I would have to send them $2500.00 for earnst money so that I wouldn't back out of the deal. I called the Boston Mas. Attorney general and after several phone calls no one has heard of this company.
So has anyone delt with Quick Sale Property.com before.
My clients were sent the wrong timeshare and deeded it back. they got the money they paid, but Timeshare Soultions never recorded the deed and has since disappeared. My clients are still the owners of record, but can not resell because there is a signed deed out there that could pop up anytime between now and the designated week. The problem is the resort is after them for the fees, but technically they do not own it.
Anyone have an idea where the company is now email me. Thanks
The exact same scam happened to us, I can't believe we fell for it. We also paid $99. initially, and waited almost a year, after numerous calls to them they finally contacted us with an offer of $16, 800, same story as all the rest. We paid $550.00 for half the closing costs, and now all I get is a recording and they never call back. Is there any way to really sell a timeshare? I don't trust any of these offers any more. Another scam out there is Time Share Solutions, We got a post card about them being in our area, they actually want you to pay them to take your timeshare.
