QUISIMOS CANCELAR Y NUNCA NOS DIJERON QUE TENIAMOS 5 DIAS PARA CANCELAR Y REGRESARNOS TODO, NOS DIJERON QUE NO NOS DEVOLVERIAN LA CANTIDAD QUE HABIAMOS DADO DE ANTICIPO ASI QUE PERDIMOS ESOS 5 DIAS Y ES MUCHISIMO DINERO TIRADO A LA BASURA
me da coraje que hagan esto y engañen al consumidor diciendole mentiras con tal de vender y llegar a sus cuotas de ventas a base de mentiras y fraude, ahora estoy en el proceso de cancelación y pienso meter una demanda en PROFECO asi como hacer publicidad en internet en ingles tambien para advertir a los turistas extranjeros que esta gente del CID son unas ratas
Even if you fall in love with the place you can buy online from an owner any week you want to go for a fraction of the price of the annual fees. Stay away at all costs, timeshare sales are bad but this place takes it to a whole new level. It ruined our vacation and possibly our future vacations as we now are paying much more and stuck in timeshare with little value.
I already gave them $10000 and they ask me to pay the $5000 more and are giving me more RCI useless certificates but I want to cancel the membership and give me my money back. I sign up January 03, 2014. What can I do to get out of this nightmare. I will appreciate your help because a lot of other travelers must go to the same scam.
they told us that we could cancel the membership anytime but then when we got home we found out in the back of the contract (which we were not showed at the time of signing) that we had to cancel within 5 days. We were intentionally lied to, to make us to miss the 5 day limit
No cabe duda que este resort es de los mas fraudulientos que existen , tengo unos amigos que son de canada que decidieron ir a vacacionar en este resort, para su sorpresa al principio marchaba todo bien, pero como un filtro , a todas ls personas americanas, extranjeras las meten a fuerza a una presentacion de lo que son los tiempos compartidos, casi obligandolos a comprar con ellos, mis amigos salieron mal con un vendedor de ahi mismo por que era demasiado enfadoso, tomen sus precauciones
I'm also trying to find a way to get out of this contract. We signed up while on vacation but after doing some research we have learned that this is a big scam. They told us a list of lies when we signed up. Has anyone stopped paying and had it affect there credit score?
nos ofrecieron una membresia de tiempo compartida cosa que nos pintaron uff super bonita, que dieramos un enganche 30 mil pesos y en tres años pagariamos la total de la membresia. Obviamente el servicio es pesimo, una vez que te tienen a ti y a tu dinero, el trato al cliente pasa a segundo termino.
I had many complaints with those people, my experience was in mexico , mazatlan , that after a timeshare presetation i accept to buy some months, at firts eveerything looks legit, but the first problem that we had is the cost of the extra services or the maintenance fees, super high prices that anybody told us before , i dont had any clue of what is going on , actually im in the cancellation process, such a shame
They promised that they would sell our other timeshare, but months later, after paying a fee to a rental company, we now had two timeshares. Not at all what we had wanted!!! We are retired and don't have the money to spend on two timeshares, but we just wanted to have one to enjoy.
