My husband and I had purchased a time share from Coral Resorts in December, 2008 and we stupidly trusted these people. At that time we viewed the property (Island Links) which we later learned we would have little chance of ever staying there but we thought OK we would just use our RCI points but we later learned we could book through Expedia for less money and did not even need these points however we were so stupid we upgrade our package to 3 weeks in December, 2009. When wer first purchased the package we received an inventory and toured the property. We paid in full by March of 2010 and received our Deed recorded in our name at no extra cost so everything was still OK. We were told by an "attorney" that came to the table that as long as we paid full amount when billed it would be considered same as cash.
When we upgrade the package in December, 2009 there was no attorney present, we never saw the property and no inventory of what we were buying was included with our purchase. Wish we had read the compaints before we sunk more money after bad money. We now cannot get our Deed recoreded without pay some shyster attorney's in Charleston (Harris & Whaley) ADDITION MONEY. I keep being quoted some garbage about "Cashing Out" with in 45 days. We paid the balance in full as soon as we were notified that it was due - no interest, no fiancing with check made out to "Coral Resorts" for the full amount. We are now told that we have to pay an additional $161.00 plus to record a worthless piece of paper. I so wish we had researched this on line before we trusted these people again. The guy that me with us "Steve Detuch" insisted that it would be fine to pay when were billed which we di in full.
I cannot believe that there is no some avenue to get relief from scams such as this.
I have talked with some one there on (2) occasions, all I got was the Cashed out phrase over and over. Some guy name David told me on Monday, 7/26/10 that we would research and get back to me - today is 7/27/10 and of course I never heard back from him.
I guess our next best thing is to pay them a visit which we plan to do soon. We are both in our 60's and really feel like this is one of the worst scams out there so all of you beware...
