Timeshares Only

William of Cerritos, CA November 13, 2009

I contacted Timeshares Only, after seeing their TV ads, and received the most positive response. I was told that I could get at least what I had paid and even more. They assured me that my pricing would be a quick sale, and as such I asked them then why I am being charged up front? Their response was this is all they will take and others that do not charge up front will take a larger commission on the sale so this is a better way to sell the Timeshare. It has now been well over a year with little contact. I did receive a phone call asking me if I wanted to rent out one of my Villa's? My response was I paid you people 598.00 so you could call me to rent my Villa? This is not what I signed up for and the person's response was she is not from the Sales dept, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

This company should be shut down as they are nothing more than a "Boiler Room" SCAM. They take the money and list the property, which is all legal, but when they are doing their "Hard Sale" they are basically guarantee they can sell your Timeshare within a few months, which I now know is NOT TRUE

Last September i tought it would be good to compare the resale vs direct price form HGVC and timeshares only showed a lot of potential in the listing that they have i made a couple of inquiries on properties that i liked and they called me right away, they were able to get me a better deal than the advertised, and everything went great until i send the final payment to the closing company.

The contacted me to request that i paid next year fees in advance by 2 months, i contacted HGVC and the told me there was no need to do this since they will send me the bill as soon as the close has close and my member profiles has been created. and send this information back to Timeshares Only and they are condition the closing upon receiving the check for next years fee even when HGVC instrcuted me no to do it and the fee is not listed in the contrat nor on closing documents already signed, they do not even want to charge my CC for this they want a check? i asked them why are you still pushing for something that Hilton do not agree and why now do not want to do charge my CC whn they did charge 1000 escrow to secure the operation.

bottom line in my personal opinion they are not quite a Scam they did worked their system to find me a good deal so for all the sellers do not be bias for others bad experiences if they find me a unit is because they are actually matching what the buyer want to what they have on their listing, but once the sale has been secure they are not nice anymore, now they put conditions on your operations even when the resort is no agreed with them

Anyone considering using this service should take their 598.00 and give it to a qualified RE Agent instead. This company is not in the business of marketing your time share, only taking your money. Their site is cumbersome to use. While they advertise in many places, when you jump online to use their services you get lost in the shuffle. Now for additional moneies they will "highlight" your property. But they should be equally trying to sell all of their properties. As so many people here said. IT IS A SCAM. And while they tell you upfront they dont make promises, they sure make it sound like they work hard. Go and try and get one of them on the phone consistently. Work hard? only at SCAMMING your money. Do not use this resale company.

In 2004, I paid nearly 500 to have an ad posted online to sell my TimeShare. Ad was supposed to run until sold. Ad was removed from internet twice during this time without notification. As of 11/6/09, no offers on property have been made even though price was reduced below all similar offerings. This is a SCAM.

We called and wanted to sale our timeshare. Collyn told us that if our property did not sale in six months that we would get our money back. That was a lie I called and they said they do not give refunds. They are thieves and liers. We are so upset. We no longer trust any company. I have turned them into the Justice Department.

Timeshares only claims that in as little as a few weeks your timeshare could be sold. This is bogus. They make no effort to sell any timeshares. This is a big scam to swindle money from consumers.

I spoke with Time Shares Only and they made it out like my timeshare would sell in a few months. They we owned in a great weak and a great location and it would not be a problem. It has been a year and 3 months and we haven't received an offers and no one has contacted us at all about anything. There is no refund even though they have not sold out property. I wonder if they are even advertising our property. The customer care specialists I spoke with today actually said that she was sure I was told alot of things when we bought the time share that was not true. I would not recommend this company. And like I told the lady at the company today...I think they are putting out false advertising with their adds. All the ads say thinks like...sold in 3 weeks or within a month. It all seems like a big scam to me to get people to pay them 598 for nothing. And there is no way to get your money back.

I purchased this timeshare while visiting the resort over a long weekend. I expressed my decision not to purchase at that time, because of my disability satus on my job which I never returned to. My disability became permanent. A few weeks after I realized what a mistake this purchase was I contacted the company, but they said they would not purchase the timeshare from or release me from the sale.

I paid 598.oo to Timeshares Only believing that they would sell the property as they claimed they would. Like so many others that I have read about this company has told each cusomer the same thing, and after recieving the fee nothing happens.

This has gone on for over four years, and now the resort is constanly adding fees that are not explained to my satisfaction. The written response that I recieved from Williamsburg Plantation does not make sense, nor does it answer my question about how these fees keep accumulating so quickly.

I listed my timeshare with them in August 2007 and still have not sold my property despite lowering the cost. I was told my property was the 2nd lowest and still nothing. I checked my ad# on the website and nothing would come up. I called and a customer service agent stated that my ad was temporarily down. So my ad is not online?? This company is a rip-off becuase they refuse to refund my money. If you are unable to sell my property or even have the ad running 24/7 then give me back my money!!
