They never sent us billing info or maintenance fee schedule and info. Missed the apparent date for maintenance fee and they advised us we no longer owned the timeshare by contract. Next time I am down there I am going to pay them a visit.............

Apparently CV has now sold so many more units than what I was orignally told that I can no longer reserve a unit that is beachfront or even ocean view.  Originally there were 8 beachfront units and now there are only 4. Plus they now have a new sales system wherein anyone who buys receives points and the points can be used for any unit so everyone is using their points for the more expensive units of which mine is one.  Needless to say I am frustrated as I can't even book my unit.

I filed a dispute with Profeco against CVBR. Has anyone had success with Profeco?

Oh cabo villas, how did it start? My wife and I stayed at an all inclusive resort Ru santa fe (spelling) were talked into a timeshare after attending there presentation, and oh boy, this is going to haunt me for years. We paid 17K for this t/s. It is a nice room, we stayed, but the maitenance fee is 700, and the last time we went they wanted more money to "upgrade" to be a part of the diamond resorts. The first guy said no pressure, another lie, and we said no until we were blue in the face. They called me again, cabo villas, about 3 weeks ago and said they could rent or sell my until for an up front fee of 399, PLEASE! The lies and money grabbing never end. I wish I had never bought this t/s. Probably one of the worst financial mistakes we have made. Yes, we did make a mistake, and as many of us have said, they ply you with food and drinks while applying a lot of pressure. They should be exposed on 20/20 or something. Anyway, I hope this helps somebody. Dont go to their presentations!

Purchased a Cabo Villas timeshare last year and made a substantial downpayment and paid the monthly for a year and decided that we cannot afford the payments any longer.

Wrote Adam Clapp the administrator and South Hill Finance company (a Canadian firm) a letter of cancellation.  Southhill Finance and Mr. Clapp responded back that I cannot cancel the contract, and Southill Finance threatened us to send us to collections.

During the sales presentation, they promised us a 7 day Alaskan Cruise that got watered down to a 7 day Mexican Cruise that we have to pay out of our own pocket.

I now realized that I have been sucked into this whole deal and it is a scam.

What are my options at this point?  I do not want to keep my membership with Cabo Villas since I am insolvent.

Como puedo cancelar un acuerdo de tiempo compartido con Cabo Villas aún no lo termino de pagar. el acuerdo e spor mas de veinte mil colares y solo he pagado siente mil.  esperaba poder recibir algo de dinero como para estas fechas y poder terminar de pagar, pero las cosas no salieron como  lo contemplaba.  A mi tambien me dijeron que con dinero que iba a ganar podia pagar la membresia y todavia tener ganancias, me siento presionado y no tengo ningun plan alterno, no tengo para pagar un abogado y ya excedi el periodo dictado por la ley.

I have a Cabo timeshare I would love to cancel.  They lied us and we feel very frustated. We have been paying on it for the last 4 years and will have it paid off in Nov. I havent paid the 2011 maintenance fee yet and would like to cancel it before i have to.

Tony

Estamos muy eneojados porque nada de los qe nos prometieorn, viene en nuestro contrato.Fuimos tontos al no leer completamente el contrato cuando lo firmamos , pero de verdad que estas perosnas abusivas, no le dan chance a u no ni de ir al baño. muhco menos de leer el contrato, porque uno se da cuenta de todas las mentiras que le estan diciendo.  Tenemos 6 meses pagando las mensualidades, pero estamos muy inconformes, los precios que nos dijeron son muy diferentes a demas las promocione spor las qu enos convenicieorn a comprar no existen segun ellos, no tendriamos que pagar nada extra y ya qu enos comuicaron no sdicen qu eno aplica, pagamos mucho dinero y no recibiremos NADA de lo que nos prometieron.

Bryce

I was pressured into buying a time share Mar. 20 in Cabo, and then tonight I got pressured into paying upfront for a Time share contract cancellation service! God, what a nightmare. I've never felt so stupid in all my life!

Rosa V

I'm sure you've heard a dozen times, in 2006 my husband and I were presured into this timeshare and we have felt helpless erver since. They convinced us to open a credit card account to pay for the contract,and needless to say we have never been able to pay the c.c acount off and know they are referring the maintenace fee to a creditor.

Mary

We currently have a CV timeshare and we are disgusted with them. We were lied to thru out the whole process.

Marian

Tengo un Timeshare en  Casa Dorada Deseo cancelar este contrato ya que ahora que trato de utilizar los benificos no son como se me ofrecieron. Di unos $3000 de momento y llevo 1 año pagando y envio todos los meses $400. El mes pasado no lo pague.

Cynthia

My husband and I along with my another couple feel we are victims of fraud in buying our timeshare. Much that you say in your articles about scams has been true for us. We feel we can trus no one. Our case is that we bought in November waiting for all the information in mail and then getting suspicious of the sale started to make inquiries. Everything in writing is true to the contract but it is all the unwritten benefits that were promised that turned out to be lies.

texas_26

We bought a timeshare at Cabo Villas last February the number they have given us is not even valid. I can't contact anyone. They promise us to resale one of our timeshare. We were stupid to believe that.

Shirley

I have already paid more than $15,000.00 and want out of this 30 yrs contract because it was a complete fraud . They lied about everything including the 1 free week they had promised for 30 yrs but now the contract states that is is for only 4 free weeks during the whole 30 yrs

Robert Z

My Wife and I have a timeshare at Cabo Villas Resort in Cabo. We purchased it in 2007 . We were lied to at the time of our purchase and would like to be rid of it. We are ready to just give it back.

Kris

We just signed a timeshare contract with Cabo Villas. We tried to cancel our new timeshare contract in person within the 5 days recession period but they were very rude and not accomadating.

Scott Cushler

We signed up for timeshare at Cabo Villas. Told them we wanted to cancel 4 business days later. They say no we have a contract. We told them in person and sent emails. Today we will give them a written letter.

TOM

I two was scamed by CVBR.  Many misrepresentations and devious sales tactics.

We all need to write letters to the dispute departments of the credit card companies.  The more compliants they get the greater the chance they will reverse the charges when a victim files a dispute.  If there are enoiugh they will cancel their merchant account.  Even if this is not your credit card company or you did not use a credit card in your scam.  This will help everyone, fight back.

I have owned my timeshare since 1997 and it was fine until 2009. I stopped being able to rent it out to cover the maintenance fees when the economy turned bad. I paid "Timeshares Only" to sell it or rent it and have not received a single call or inquiry. I keep receiving direct mail now from "Simple Solutions" and other companies which I assume is another scam to simply take over the timeshare and not pay me anything.

Elvira

We bought one in Cabo last October the number they have given us is not even valid. I can't contact anyone. They promise us to resale one of our timeshare. We were stupid to believe that.

Carl

We were told  we could call a toll free number and book flights , resorts at the lowest Price available. We purchased this on October and  they told us we could call and reserve the hotel easily, they gave us a catalog with resorts but we have tried to book 4 times ant we could find any availability. I emailed to complaint but they never answer me.

Hanna

Hi, I need your help to get rid of a Timeshare scam contract. I was in Cabo when some people approached me  and one of them invited me to a timeshare presentation. When I was in the presentation I was so remorseful, they were annoying and they did not let me go. They started giving me tequila, I got drunk and without  even remembering, I signed a contract with them. I believe that

Luis

Alguien que sepa cómo puedo cancelar mi contrato con cabo villas, lo firme hace casi un año y han sido puras perdidas, firmar un contrato por una membresía en cabo villas fue definitivamente la peor compra que hemos hecho,y a no sabemos como hacerle para recuperar nuestro dinero y cancelar la membresía que nos vendieron con puros engaños.

Steven

It has been very difficult for us to make the payments and we think that it is better if we cancel the membership that we purchased at Cabo villas. The total purchase price of   the membership was $9,000 and we made a down payment for $3,000 and our monthly payments are for $450. Now I realize that what my sales person told me was a lie.

Joe

I have a vacation membership with Cabo Villas which I want to cancel due to the fact that since I acquired it, I have not had the opportunity to use it. The truth is that I am not going to be able to use it.  I contacted Cabo Villas to see if I can cancel the contract and they said me that it is not possible to cancel. What can I do?

Judy

My husband and I were convinced to attend a Timeshare presentation. During that presentation we were promised that we could rent our timeshare out each year and within a few years have it paid for. We paid a broker company and they told us that they would contact us but they never did. We have not heard anything back since.

Lilzy

Estamos teniendo muchos problemas  para poder reservar, es un problema  y ya estamos cansados que cada que tenemos que reservar pasamos por esto. Además cuando compramos la membresía nos enseñaron una habitación totalmente diferente a la que nos dieron la única vez que nos quedamos en el hotel, no es lo que se nos prometió , así que si alguien planea comprar una membresía con ellos le recomendamos pensarlo 2 veces antes de hacerlo.

Renee

I purchased a timeshare at Cabo villas, when I ask them about the rent out of my weeks they told me that they have a broker in Florida that would rent out my weeks for a profit, but the broker never existed. And now my maintenances fees are going up and they are asking me for a special assessment for $10,000

Mindy

I am tired and stressed because I cannot get rid  of a fraudulent contract that  I bought with Cabo villas a few months ago, they promised me to sell my current timeshare that I have in Florida and they have not done anything.

 

I feel stressed because I have to pay the first monthly payment for my  Villa del Cabo membership and I have not  gotten any money for my other membership and I am not going to have enough money to pay for both memberships. I would not like to spend my savings on this.

Toby

I was scammed by Cabo Villas and I am trying to cancel my timeshare . After reviewing the contract, we decided that we did not want to keep the timeshare. We are within our 5 days rescission period but we don’t want to have problems to cancel our contract. What should we do?

Criss

Cabo villas sold us a timeshare on agreement that they would purchase my current timeshare. They made guarantees that our timeshare would be purchased within 120 days from day we signed the contract.  It has been 6 months since we signed and we haven´t received nothing yet. What can we do?

Susana

Hola, mi esposo compró una membresía en Mayo de este año en Cabo Villas, pero  nos dijeron que para el termino de 30 años íbamos a recibir nuestro dinero de regreso junto con dinero acumulado de los intereses, pero una amiga me comento que eso no es verdad y nos asustó un poco, nos contactamos con el resort y le dijimos que mejor queríamos cancelar y ahora nos dicen que no podemos y que tenemos que terminar de pagar la membresía. A este punto estamos cansados de estar llamando frecuentemente a  el hotel y no tener ninguna respuesta.

Sally

My husband and I purchased a membership at Cabo Villas . We are disappointment for this purchase because we were lied and misleading by the salesperson. We made a down payment of $8,000 and the representatives promised us that they would rent out our weeks for this year in order to give us a refund of $3,000 and they didn´t. What can we do?

Charles

I bought a membership at CaboVillas and I´m not happy with it and now I’m at my wit’s end. I have been calling them and sending emails, but they are ignoring me. I only received an answer to one of my emails and it was to tell me that I can’t cancel my membership.   They have terrible customer service.

Mishelle

We foolishly purchaced a time share from this placde on March 15, 2009 We Cancelled on March 17, 2009 

We shipped via United Parcel Service (UPS) the original signed cancellation letter and all of the contract paperwork marked through and cancelled.On March 31, 2009, April 1,2009 and  June 17, 2009 we sent emails requesting a status of the refund of our deposit.  Cabo Villas Beach Resport & Spa never responded nor refunded the deposit.

On June 23, 2009 I phoned Cabo Villas Beach Resport & Spa and spoke with Adam Clapp.  At first he said they didn’t have the money, that he’d have to talk to the company accountant, but would not tell me who that was.  Then he said that they were going to charge us for the free night we spent at the resort in a room that was out of service for electrical maintenance but wouldn’t tell me what that amount was. We had also returned a coupon for free nights.... The conversation became very heated and I begged him to return our deposit – to do the right thing.  He said that I was going to have to go through Profeco to get our deposit back.   I had hoped that after Adam calmed down he might do the right thing but to this date we have not received the refund.  

More than two months working through PROFECO‏ resulted in them agreeing that our deposit was what the free night was worth.  Personally my experience with PROFECO was very frustrating and feel that they are either corrupt or unqualified to perform the job they are employed to do!

Steve

We purchased (after 8 HOURS) of badgering by the timeshare salespeople only because of the supposed 'opportunities' to rent our 'extra' weeks etc...similar to others' stories.  There has been no end of challenge and difficulty trying to rent out and it's a total marketing scam.  We actually love the resort and staying there is delightful.  We gave up on ever trying to recoup the cost by rental unless we are able to send a friend for a vacation or something.  We just go to enjoy in a familiar, well-appointed environment.  Would I ever buy a timeshare again...NOT ON YOUR LIFE...but we took the plunge and are making the best of it.  Mexico is beautiful and the people are fantastic...and we have a nice resort to stay at (and as members we get good rates when we don't use one of our weeks!  If you really want a timeshare, with Cabo Villas or elsewhere, there are many GREAT deals to be had on ebay from folks who just want to unload and put the experience behind them.  

Ron C.

Has anyone had success getting their money back?

Purchased a 2 bedroom week July 2005 from Cabo Villas for $1900. We told the timeshare people we were not interested in returning to Cabo so they over us a deal where we paid 1900 and were guaranteed that when they rented out the unit we would probably receive around 2400. We declined then they offered us an additional week for free. We told them we already had a timeshare with RCI were not happy with paying expensive maintenance fees. Then they offered for the cost of $599 to get us out of the RCI timeshare , just bank the weeks with them and we would get vacations for $99. No problems ever. We sent in our voucher for the 1 week that they were to rent out Aug 2005. I contacted them and all they said was we have not been able to rent it out, but you owe us money for yearly fees etc. For what!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gave up for awhile and just recently contact Global Vacations and Cabo Villas. Cabo Villas send us to Global Adventures and they claim they know nothing about the $1900 I have them. And why did I not contact them all these years . Just getting the run around. guess we all financed the building of this complex with nothing in return.

John

I purchased a time share at Cabo Villas Beach Resort (Bay View Suites) in May of 2008 and they did not deliver what they promissed.

Andrea

I just got back from Mexico Cabo San Lucas tonight and  I think I have been a victim of timeshare fraud at Cabos Villas. Can you please contact me immediately as I signed documents on Saturday and was told I have a 3 day right to rescind the contract which expires tomorrow but I have no paperwork that says I can rescind.

Gregory

Cabo Villas sold us a timeshare. When we wanted to use it we were told our  timeshare could not be used until 2010 and paid over $1200.00 maintenance fees to rent a unit. Upgraded to a 2 bedroom and left check for $2500.00. we placed a stop payment because when we rwanted to rent were told nit was booked and we could rent another unit for the applicable maintenance fee. They say we have to make $2500.00 check good or turning us over to collections. WE WANT TO CANCEL.
