Sadly, your story is all too common. Since you bought over three years ago, your rights of rescission have long passed and you likely will not be getting any money back. That being said, here are some suggestions I have for someone in your shoes so that you do not lose any more money. 1) If it hasn't happened already, watch out for the infamous resale scam. They especially target owners in Mexico. It usually starts with a phone call confirming what you own. Then, when that's confirmed, they get you all excited telling you they can sell or rent out your unit for a huge whack of money. Then they tell you that you have to pay some sort of an upfront fee or tax to close the deal. 2) Watch out for the "get you out of your timeshare" scam. In this case, usually you will see Google ads or shill postings telling you that they can "cancel" your timeshare and maybe even sue the resort or sales crew. They will ask for a huge upfront fee and do little or nothing for you. 3) Law firms or other companies claiming they can get all your money back because you bought based on fraud. While you might legally be able to get your money back because of fraud, the tough part is proving that fraud was involved. It's usually a matter of you said, they said. Unfortunately, that does not hold up in court.
