Timeshare Consumer Bureau was created in order to provide a voice to those who believe they have none, to give power back to the people. Timeshare owners deal with rampant and widespread fraud that goes largely ignored by a country that stands on principles of freedom and fair trade. While the Federal Trade Commission, FBI, and consumer activists are finally taking a stand against timeshare companies and the fraud they commit on a near constant basis, there is still so much work to be done.

Timeshare fraud is a massive problem that affects the consuming public greatly. In an already struggling economy, timeshare owners are subjected to hidden fees, rate hikes, and financial coercion by timeshare companies. Furthermore, many of these timeshares were sold under fraudulent pretenses. The timeshare presentation has become filled with lies, half-truths, and sales pitches that constitute a majority of the existing timeshare fraud. Without these timeshare presentations that convince attendees to sign timeshare contracts, it is likely the industry would not exist. This makes timeshare fraud essentially the sole reason the industry thrives to this very day.

Taking a stand against timeshare fraud only takes a tiny amount of your time, and can make a massive impact. This is especially true when the consuming public does this together. To fight back against timeshare fraud and create real change, it takes more than just one voice. This process requires many timeshare owners to expose the timeshare fraud, showing they are willing to take a stand.

Leave a blog comment, a resort review, or a timeshare complaint. All of these things only take a minute of your day and can have a huge impact on the effectiveness of timeshare fraud. As we begin to stand together, these fraudulent companies will see that they are not all powerful and are subject to the outcries of consumer outrage. Timeshare fraud is not going anywhere fast unless we do something about it.

We receive plenty of timeshare resort reviews and blog comments regarding consumers’ miserable experiences with timeshare companies, but timeshare complaints can be just as effective as these published reviews. When asked why some timeshare complaints are not filed instead, the answers were quite shocking. Unfortunately, the consuming public is a little weary of submitting timeshare complaints, and we believe this is due in large part to the fact that the public does not know how they are used.

One common response to this question about timeshare complaints is that the owners feel that their complaint will fall on deaf ears. This is usually not the case, and is especially untrue in regard to Timeshare Consumer Bureau. First of all, if there is some kind of advice we can provide in response to your complaint, we will absolutely contact you with helpful information. As a consumer activist group with extensive knowledge of timeshare issues, we have helped countless individuals solve their timeshare problems.

With years of experience in the industry, we have likely encountered a situation much like the one you will outline in your own timeshare complaint.

Misleading information at the timeshare presentation, coerced payments, and expanding hidden fees are all very common. With your timeshare complaint, we can advise you on how to move forward or recommend a qualified company that can help.

Some timeshare owners are in such fear of their company that they do not want to submit a complaint because they feel this will have negative repercussions. Nothing could be further from the truth. We do not report any timeshare complaints whatsoever, and take no action with your complaint unless you specify that you would like us to do so. There is no need to fear reprisal in response to any timeshare complaint. Ever.

In special situations, timeshare complaints form a powerful message that can be used to stop timeshare companies from committing fraud and taking advantage of the consuming public.

Timeshare Consumer Bureau has experienced wonderful community participation in recent days, and we want to take a moment and thank all who have posted a blog comment, filed a complaint, or left a timeshare review. Timeshare reviews are especially important, and add great knowledge and experience to our online consumer community. We also like to be very aware of the state of timeshare resort reviews from around the internet, and have recently become very aware of the rancor that has come out of many recent Westgate timeshare reviews.

One Westgate timeshare review was especially scathing, and outlined the terrifying experiences of a young military couple.

“By All means KEEP AWAY from WESTGATE. After returning to home from a tour in Iraq, my wife and I bought into this nightmare. It is a money pit and a scam. We used it once had a lot of problems... mainly what they sold us and what we actually get is two different things.”

While this is very broad, it is the general experience explained in many Westgate timeshare Reviews. More details of Westgate timeshare reviews include an inability to use their timeshares even a year in advance, massive fees, and a lack of responsivity in customer service.

As you may have guessed, the great majority of Westgate timeshare reviews are negative, and the consuming public is largely aware of their shady business practices. While many consumers do their research and know to stay away from these timeshares, Westgate continues to reap massive profits from new timeshare owners every single day. It would be wise to read as many Westgate timeshare reviews as possible to gain a fuller picture, a better consensus. If you have had your own experience with Westgate, good or bad, please submit your very own Westgate timeshare review today!

In fact, timeshare complaints drive everything we do here, and we want to hear every single gripe you have with the timeshare industry. An even more effective weapon is a timeshare complaint against a specific resort, for these are combined with similar stories to create a powerful force for change.

Many timeshare owners feel defeated, that their timeshare complaints will fall on deaf ears. Some owners feel like their complaints are unwarranted, that because their name is on a piece of paper, they have no reason to submit a timeshare complaint. We behoove you to reconsider, as it is likely that your timeshare contract was signed under severe distress, and even more so under false pretenses. Timeshare salesmen force consumers to sign their contracts through fraud and misrepresentation, and there is no greater cause for a timeshare complaint.

This may seem obvious, but many consumers feel like their timeshare company has legitimate legal recourse against them. This may be the case, but the level of fraud involved in the signing of these contracts nullifies any type of binding agreement. Your timeshare complaints are nearly always valid, and you should at least have the ability to speak your mind and receive advice from experts regarding your problem. This is exactly what we do, but we need to receive your timeshare complaints in order for us to help! There are likely many timeshare owners who have had similar complaints, and their knowledge and experience will help you immensely as you navigate the treacherous waters of timeshare ownership. 

Starwood is a global timeshare company in the mold of Hilton and Marriott timeshares in that they are all also global hotel giants. Starwood timeshares is under the same umbrella corporation as such renowned hotels as Westin and Sheraton, which are fantastic resorts located in pristine locations. Much like Marriott and Hilton timeshares, Starwood reaps the benefits of the grand reputation and position these companies enjoy in the hotel business. However, Starwood timeshare reviews are plagued with the same complaints as these other timeshare companies as well.

While Marriott and Hilton are notorious in the timeshare industry for outrageous pricing and an inability to book a reservation months in advance, Starwood timeshare reviews focus on rate hikes and hidden fees more than anything else. Many Starwood timeshare reviews complain of an aggressive payment policy that becomes increasingly expensive every single year. Timeshare owners sign up with Starwood believing they will be paying a reasonable amount for their resort destination. Nothing is further from the truth.

One particularly angry Starwood timeshare owner posted in his review that he had signed a contract where fees were originally $1,300 per year. Starwood timeshares has raised his fees to over $2,500 a year, and have no intention of slowing down. Starwood timeshare reviews paint a disturbing picture for any timeshare owner, and these stories should serve as a major warning to potential victims. 

There are thousands of timeshare complaints submitted every single day, and nearly all of them involve timeshare fraud in one way or another. Timeshare fraud has become the norm within the timeshare industry, and this is the main reason the industry has gained such a notorious reputation. Timeshare companies did not all begin running rampant with fraud, this development occurred over a period of time.

When the timeshare industry arose out of an idea for flexible, partial vacation property ownership, the idea seemed sensible enough. In fact, with fair prices and wonderful locations, the market for timeshares would have boomed, and there would be no need for fraud. However, timeshare companies soon learned that with their own specialized contract and coercive sales tactics, they could trap timeshare owners. This binding document could legally force consumers to pay fraudulent hidden charges and ever-increasing fees.  

Soon enough, other timeshare companies and resorts caught wind of these tactics, and timeshare fraud spread like wildfire. Timeshare salesmen now say anything to get consumers to sign their contracts, most of which are straight up lies. These lies about the value and market for timeshares constitutes fraud, and too many laws are in favor of timeshare companies.

This is where timeshare owners fight back against fraud. Do not simply accept your dreadful contract, signed under duress with misleading information. You are likely the victim of timeshare fraud, and Timeshare Consumer Bureau wants you to be heard.

Here at Timeshare Consumer Bureau, we sometimes receive questions regarding why we took the timeshare issue into our own hands, and why timeshare complaints are the driving force behind our organization. These two questions have different answers, but are very related. In short, we wanted to provide a voice for those who have been devastated by the timeshare industry’s horrible business practices. Timeshare complaints are the driving force behind everything we do because your voice needs to be heard in order for real change to happen.

The entire concept of Timeshare Consumer Bureau arose from the timeshare complaints we have fielded from our own friends and loved ones. It is well known that timeshare are a scam and should generally be avoided. Even so, there are new timeshare complaints submitted daily, and the timeshare industry is just as powerful as ever. Innocent consumers are constantly being lied to, coerced into signing contracts, and then extorted for large hidden payments that many families simply can’t afford.

Just as with any crisis or scam, timeshare complaints reveal the truths of the timeshare industry and their underhanded schemes. However, it is not until you or a loved one experiences the timeshare trap firsthand that you realize how devastating owning a timeshare can be. When we experienced this, we created Timeshare Consumer Bureau and decided to fight back.

However, we cannot fight back alone. Our consumer advocacy group is alive and fighting the timeshare industry with the help of legal counsel and timeshare experts, but the most important part of our organization is you, the consumer. Submitting your own timeshare complaints or reviews gives us greater insight into the problems of the consuming public. Learning about the experiences of owners through their timeshare complaints allows us to fight on specific issues, all the while warning others against falling into the timeshare trap.

The Wyndham timeshare scam is well documented in timeshare forums and complaint boards throughout the internet. When I decided to research the subject, I was quite startled by the degree and nature of the Wyndham timeshare scam. Usually, timeshare scams are noted for hard sales tactics, but these issues pale in comparison to the fraud that occurs once the contract is signed.

The Wyndham timeshare scam is very different. Little is said about their hidden fees and deadlocked contracts. A complaint here and there, but the contract is not the main issue with the Wyndham timeshare scam. Instead, forums are littered with frustrated and outraged consumers who were promised free “vacations” for their timeshare presentations, only to be bullied, pressured, insulted, and even ejected. 

Most timeshare scams work by luring customers in with false promises and misrepresentation about the nature of timeshares. Those who attend timeshare presentations are told that timeshares are a good investment, and can be sold anytime for a profit. The Wyndham timeshare scam works by offering a beautiful vacation simply for attending a presentation. Little do consumers know, they are walking into a nightmare.

Most of the contracts signed with Wyndham not only involve fraud, but hard-line sales tactics that seem borderline illegal. One very level headed consumer claimed to have been verbally assaulted and insulted at the presentation. Once it became clear that they would not purchase a Wyndham timeshare, they were ejected from the building and their vacation revoked. We advise anyone to stay away from timeshare presentations, but especially from Wyndham. The Wyndham timeshare scam is colossal, intimidating, and ensures anyone who attends their presentations are in for a nasty experience.

Please share! Have any of you experienced the torment of the Wyndham timeshare scam?
