are continually committing time share fraud.

Time share contracts through this company are misrepresented and terms and conditions illegal. Assessment payments from this company have gone up over 100% in 2007, even though owners had signed a contract that states they could not be raised by more than 15% annually. The resort was sold 2 years ago between bothers and the company will gladly tell you try to make a case against them stating that “our money is in Barbados”.

Rancho Banderas was also involved in the Cash Back America Scam, were they guaranteed a percentage of monies back for up front assessment payments. No one who was involved in this scam has recovered their agreed upon refund.


To make this company pay I suggest:
1. contact the Mexican consulate in your country
2. contact Canadian consulate in your country
3. file a complaint with your better business bureau
4. file a complaint with Profeco in Mexico (they will probably not do anything, but your home Mexican consulate may be able to push thingthrough.)
5.

6. contact a Canadian Lawyer (I have started a class action with Merchant Law Group speak with Michael Bauer 1-866-653-7777).
7. file complaint with Canadian BBB (http://welcome.bbb.org/)
