They can get the contract canceled if you feel the timeshare people have lied to you or misrepresented information.

That may be so but one has to be able to prove that he was lied to or received disinformation. The contracts that people sign usually say something to the extent of "Whatever is written in the contract supercedes anything that the sales person might have said."

So what concrete proof do you have that the sales person lied to you other than He Said, She Said?

The best that any law firm can do for you in such a situation is to negotiate with the developer and perhaps the mortgage lender a settlement that will have the HOA take ownership back of what you bought. Have you tried doing that yourself for a lot less than what you will be paying this law firm?

Hello - I am really resonating with your logic and the way you have proceeded with your timeshare sale.

I would really appreciate some advise.

Can you please contact me by email at dianap@rogers.com ?

Thank you so much, Diana

thanks heidil105 we just hired them 2 months ago and I was wondering if they were lei get you eased my mind

The shills are out again plugging the bottom feeders. NEVER pay anyone money upfront that claims they can get you out of your contract especially a bottom feeding attorney. Anyone can make claims and create a website with their own acclimates . Read all the posts and you will see how badly they treat their clients. Then they send shills into forums posing as satisfied customers to lure victims to their scam. If anyone is dumb enough to send them money then they deserve to lose it.

Update on our account. We had signed the Mutual Release Agreement on January 27. Capitol Resorts deducted the February automatic payment from our account. I emailed them, this is their response: "Your Mutual Release Agreement was received and is currently being processed by our Financial Services team. Once this is complete, your contract will be canceled and we will be giving you a refund for the last payment that was drafted from your account." Signed by Ana from Capitol Resorts group. If Capitol Resorts do not refund our February payment- I will post that too.

Anybody looking to get out of a timeshare, I would only sign with a licensed attorney. I believe ours was successful because THEY"RE IN THE SAME STATE, THAT WE PURCHASED THE TIMESHARE. That might be the key why our case took only 3 months, start to finish.

We did not have proof of wrong doing, or misrepresentation. The timeshares intentionally don't let you keep any of the worksheets. That leaves us with he said, she said scenario. We have 7 years left to pay on our timeshare. I don't have the time or energy to tackle Grand Crowne timeshare on my own. We took a gamble hiring an attorney & it paid off. To us, it was worth it. If we didn't owe anything on our timeshare, we would have tried to get out of the contract by ourselves. Surely it must be easier giving the timeshare back when it's already paid for.

Look at attorneys licensed to practice law in the state you purchased the timeshare.

Blah Blah Blah....Shill !!! Why do you find in necessary to come into the forum to praise a law firm that has an " F " rating with the BBB plus a warning. I agree with one thing you said that ther e are competent law firms in every state. Nobody has to use a scam attorney that uses the forums to push their scams. That's what ambulance chasers do. If anyone decides to use a law firm find one where you live that you can actually walk into their office and see the actual attorney. Not just someone who creates a website and uses a drop box for their mail. Don't be the next victim like some of the ones that posted in here. Read through the thread and choose wisely.

Lotsa luck! I called BLueGreen re the time share we have and cannot use because my husband became disabled. They informed me they neither buy back time shares nor do they sell them for owners. (Their sales reps advised us to send them another time share that we owned and they would sell it and keep theirs.)

Do NOT use!! I have a case against them with the TNN BBB and they are typical lawyers playing their game DO NOT use!!

I don't think that poster is a shill. They were released from Capital Resorts Contract. I own with them and regularly read their BBB complaints. Capital regularly lets buyers who complain out of the contracts outside of the rescission period whether they hire a lawyer or not. In some cases they keep the down payment and it others they refund all the money.

The factual, truthful bottom line is this:

NO law firm on Planet Earth can somehow magically get a timeshare purchase contract "cancelled" without having tangible proof of outright fraud (proof which almost never exists, since verbal lies and misrepresentations alone are completely meaningless, legally).

There are state rescission (cancellation) laws with very specific deadlines to cancel a timeshare purchase. In most states, it's 5-7 days, although it's as few as 3 days in several states, and as many as10 days in both Florida and Tennessee. Once that deadline passes and the buyer has failed to exercise those available cancellation rights, the buyer really no longer has ANY leverage, with our without lawyers. After that rescission deadline has passed, any "cancellation" is entirely VOLUNTARY by the developer (usually involving forfeiting the initial deposit as part of the agreement). This happens only on VERY rare occasion and with only VERY few developers.

Yes I am trying to get a lawsuit against my timeshare now. There two ways to deal with a tsgroup. One is to just get out of a ts. Another is if there is enough evidence that they lied to you and enough money involved you can bring a law suit against them and get Some of your money back possible. If you just want to get out of the contract you can get it done yourself. There is a posting further down. If you want to bring a law suit then of course you will need a lawyer. You can get a free consultion to see which way to go. I am pleased with them representiny me in my case so far. Good luck I hope this will help.

We are trying to divest ourselves of our timeshare and called a group whose advertising we saw while in Branson, MO. They advertised as Timeshare Advocacy. We contacted them and they are Castle Law Group PC based in Tennessee. They ask if you have been lied to by anybody when you were sold the timeshare or subsequently and told us the steps needed to legally get out of this contract for good. Of course, their fee is $3,000 and we've been burned paying an upfront fee before. But, I am tempted as they are now offering a money back guarantee if they don't get you out of your contract. Id love to know if anyone has had success with them.

I still stick to my statement.......NEVER pay anyone money upfront that claims they can get you out of your contract not even a bottom feeding law firm. Attorneys are the lowest form of life on this planet. Fifty percent of all attorneys graduated in the bottom half of their class. They prey on people desperate to get out of their contracts. If anyone decides to use an attorney get one where you live that you can actually walk into their office and talk with someone. Anyone that uses fear and manipulation to get your money is a low life. There are thousands of law firms out there so why hawk these bottom feeders ?

I tried going direct to Wyndham Resorts to take back my property/timeshare, but they said Nope, NO WAY, NO HOW, Don't want to hear it. Have a nice day. I'm told that at least 8000 legal actions have already taken place with wyndham, and that a lawyer is all they will deal with - and most often settle OUT OF COURT, to keep bad publicity to a minimum. I'm considering using Castle, but still have to check with the BAR association of TN to see if they are legit...

gabrielu3- Choose a law firm in the same state as the timeshare. I really believe it worked to our advantage, ours took less than 5 months.

Ken: The timeshare (Grand Crowne) was under no obligation, legally, to let us out of our contract. Because it does come down to he said/she said. There's no proof of wrong doing, that's why they keep their worksheets. We purchased in 2012 & had 7 years left to pay on it. We chose not to request any refunds of the down payment or any payments made. We just wanted out of it. It was an expensive lesson learned.

Why chose a law firm you know nothing about that advertises on the internet. There are plenty of competent law firms close to where you live that you can actually walk into their office and speak with an attorney . If you decide to use a law firm use one where you live and can contact them in person by phone or email not some unknown party you know absolutely nothing about.

Hi Jeff,

I started a process with your firm last June with two cases that I wanted you guys to handle. As a result you took on my cases and we mutually agreed that I would make instalment payments over the span of six month, which was mutually beneficial. Your company was very prompt at sending out the monthly invoice but not well at communicating the status of the cases. Frequently, I withheld payment, and your company was not only quick to respond to my lack of monthly payment but you were prompt to reply to my request of status updates. It took approx three months to dissolve the first contract. With the second contract, I found the same thing happening again, I would withhold payment, only this time I get a call. (even admitting that my case fell through the cracks during a handover. Although I appreciated the honesty, I was surprised with this level of disorganization.). My concerns raised as I got to the last payment and sure enough... I last spoke with someone in Dec. last payment made in Jan. it's now the beginning of May and I still have not heard anything since dec on the status of the second case. I understand that you may be busy but when you are dealing within an industry peppered by deception for profit, you should want to put your clients at ease knowing that they made the right choice and that they will get the service they paid for.

All I ever asked for was for someone to keep me informed. I have an email trail for the last three months with no response. Perhaps I could get an update?

Hello Chrissy,

Please contact the Firm and ask for me direct. I will be glad to assist you in addressing your concerns. Thank you.

If you used a law firm where you live you could walk into their office and talk to someone directly. It makes absolutely no sense to use a law firm you know nothing about that advertises and promotes their business on line. Anyone can create a website and use a mail drop box for an address. What do you know about them other than what you've heard. How do you know if they posted their own positive comments ? Remember fifty percent of all attorneys graduated in the bottom half of their class . There are plenty of competent attorneys right where you live . Why pay money to someone you never met and know nothing about other than what they tell you .

Do your homework before you give someone your hard earned money .
