At 0830 (Texas time), Friday, 03 April 2009, called SRL Timeshares at their number (609) 992-7311. Jen answered the phone. I requested to speak with David Banks. She said, let me check and see if he is in yet. A few minutes later, she returned to the phone and stated he was not in yet and asked if she could take a message. I told her we needed to speak with Mr. Banks because we had not yet received the paperwork to sell our timeshare. I recommended that when Mr. Banks came in, that he immediately contact my husband. We have not heard anything from this company.
At approximately 3:00pm (Texas time) Friday, 03 April 2009, we once again attempted to contact SRL Timeshares at the same number and now receive a disconnect message.
