A Real Money Pit...
Our experience with Marriott Vacation Club has been a disaster. We were hood-winked into our timeshare contract due to misrepresentation, dishonesty, and deception. We would not be in this predicament if their salespeople had a shred of honesty while dealing with us, but unfortunately that has not been the case. At every turn they lied to us about availability, as well as the total cost of this endeavor. We were told that we could rent out the property to help cover the cost of maintenance fees or make extra cash, that we were purchasing real property (untrue), and, finally, we were told that we could make a great deal of money if we rented out our timeshare during sporting events. This claim was made by a salesperson who said he did this with his wife all the time. We were assured that we were purchasing property that could be used as an investment vehicle to earn additional income as well as to take vacations. We finally realized it wasn’t worth the financial strain and we are demanding that our contract be terminated immediately. So far all we are getting is past due notices and attempts to get us on the phone. Frankly at our age, we do not trust that they wouldn’t trap us again, we do not want to sink even further financially. We hope others will see this and choose for themselves vs. being manipulated into a contract with this company. If they cared, they would address these unethical salespeople.
