What is a Collection Agency?
A collection agency is a company that pursues payment of debts owed by individuals or businesses.
Agencies operate as agents of creditors and collect debts for a commission.
If you stopped making payments, it is probably that pretty soon you will be contacted by a collection agency, such as Concord Servicing Corporation, Resort Recovery Solutions, Monterrey Financial Services or Textron Financial Corporation.
How Agencies Operate
These collection agencies will go on your credit reports, and they will probably sue you.
Besides, they may report you to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), making your future financial investments very difficult.
When a collection agency gets your debt, it is very likely that it will include expenses like interest and fees, making your debt bigger, and ultimately reporting you as past due.
Normally, it takes about a month to appear on your report, but it takes around 7 years to clean it off.
First and foremost, the collection agency will try to contact you in every way possible in order to collect your debt.
Agencies can be very aggressive in their tactics; when this happens, they only get paid if they are able to collect.

Debt collectors may not discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse or your attorney.
They can only call you between 8:00 am and 9:00 p.m.
They can’t call you at work if you advise them that you are not allowed to receive calls there.
And most importantly, they are prohibited from using deceptive or abusive practices.

I contacted you guys months ago regarding being scammed by Krystal Cancun. I never received any response. I was told this would be an investment now to later find out. I have to pay more money for advertisement with the broker. Now they plan to send me to collections for a scam,
Nosotros hemos pasado ya por 2 agencias de cancelacion de tiempo compartido y no nos resolvieron nada, nos dijeron que si era posible la cancelacion pero hasta la fecha nada ha pasado, no sabemos como cancelar nuestra membresia de verdad necesitamos ayuda ya que estamos muy desesperados, no podemos seguir cubriendo ese gasto, ayuda por favor.
Hola. Soy titular de un tiempo Vacacional que estoy a punto de terminar de pagar. Estoy seguro que fui estafado y estoy considerando iniciar una demanda. No entiendo cómo hasta el dia de hoy no se ha hecho un amparo generalizado para erradicar este delito.
Espero poder coordinar una acción para hacer valer mis derechos.
Espero respuesta
Saludos.

Me resulta muy complicado como seguir manejando mi tiempo compartido , no puedo seguir pagandolo , pero lo que me molesta mas es que no puedo nisiquiera usarlo , de un tiempo para aca me lueven llamadas de este tipo de agencias, ya me es muy molesto esto , de verdad ocupo la forma de salir de este asunto.
i visited vallarta,cancun, mazatlan , and many others, sometimes salespeople tried to approached me and try to sell me something, a friend of mine one time felt on that trap and at the end of the timeshare presentation , the salespeople force him to buy something,i just ignored him , you should do the same !
even if this agencies start to procced this wont gonna change anything, trust me , the better option is to cancel the timeshare, But here is the problem, those resorts people are totally experts on the scam and fraud field, so is not gonna be an easy task , also if you are thinking to acquire a timeshare pls dont do it, i had a very bad experience that cost me a lot of money to get out, be careful
me tienen cansada, no se en que momento deje que pasara el tiempo y llegara a esto, me arrepiento muchisimo, pero tampoco puedo seguir pagando algo que no quiero, me gustaria poder cancelar o hacer algo al respecto, pueden ayudarme?
when i already was in the big problem, i started searching info.. that i'm sure, i wouldn't be in that situation right now
is there a way you guys could help me to stop them??? i will appreciate it!! i'm getting crazy
lo mejor seria no llegar al punto en que procedan con agencias de cobranzas, es mas, lo ideal seria nisiquiera adquirir tiempos compartidos
