Vacation Services Of America - SCAM
We were given a lie of a presentation by Vacation Services of America in Branson. Condos were suppose to be cheap...Houses available for rental for cheap...choice hotels...you pay (in our case $1000.00) for a lifetime membership which is a 149.00 renewal yearly...What they fail to tell you is that you have to go through THEIR agents..which is $25 each...

My husband and I bought into the membership because we were shown sites where you could supposedly get greatly reduced rates on various vacation rentals. We were supposed to have three days after signing the contract to look it over and cancel if we wanted to, but the website was not available to look at for more than five days after signing the contract...

Skyflats is run by Marcos Leszinsky. We rented a flat at Carrer Lluis Vives 08012 In Gracia, Barcelona from this man who works for the landlord Lola. From the beginning we were clear that we needed a clause in the rental agreement allowing us to end tenancy with short notice (45 days) as it was a studio apartment and we were moving from Australia after...

I agreed to a timeshare transaction because of a vacation package that was tied to the timeshare purchase. I was totally lied to. I was told I would be able to book 199, 299, and 399 week long vacations anytime. Mostly at 299. I was not able to find out the details of the vacation package until after the 7 day cancellation period. I then found out these 299...

The short version is that Executive Property Management was to sell my timeshare. After agreeing to sell and signing a contract I was then informed I needed to pay Mexican taxes for the sale and that I could either travel to Mexico for the settlement and pay then, hire an attorney to represent me at the closing or to pay the taxes to an escrow agent...

When vacationing at the Sandos resort near Playa del Carmen, we were convinced to buy a Royal Elite membership. The meeting was supposed to last one hour but we ended up wasting the entire morning and loosing $5000. The reason we bought into it was that we were supposed to be able to use our weeks anywhere in the world, which suited us well because we...

This is a warning about ILG and their accountant trying to put people off claiming their money back. In the past year I have been bombarded with calls offering to sell my holiday club or get my Reclaim cashed early. I am ashamed to say I've paid a couple of companies to sell it as they were very convincing. I've also had a couple of legal companie...

I am another victim of their cheating business. They are showing very big picture in their sales meeting of more than one hour and somehow pursuading to take their membership. Firstly they say that this plan is Government approved and 100% guaranteed. This can even be sold anytime. They even show very good prospects of renting out the room at very good rate...

I am a club member since year 2002. Since then, the service has been getting poorer and poorer, the available hotels and affiliated hotels have been getting less by each year, and the surcharge has been getting higher each year. It is almost impossible to book a hotel especially during school holidays, public holidays, weekends and holiday eves. Now, they...
