GMAC Timeshare Division

If you paid $1000 upfront for such services then, yeah, it is a fraudulent company and a scam. Asking them to refund your money on a message board like this will accomplish nothing (other than allowing you to vent).
Again, your best bet now is to file a complaint with the Attorney-General of the state in which the scammer is located. If it is Florida, you stand a good chance because the Florida AG is taking action against such scammers.

I do not were is my name listed at that almost everyday some company calls that interested in buying my timeshare.For all of you that already paid some bonus company your money, get your money back by putting a dispute with your credit card company for failure to deliver services. I recently got back credit back for $2500 for a transaction that happened in 2008. I also got $998, from another CC, for a more recent transaction. I still to follow up on another transaction.
I was wondering how you were able to convince the cc company to offer a refund. I have tried to dispute with my cc but to no avail. My transaction was less than 1 year ago.

I too would be VERY interested in hearing the details of how a charge could possibly be successfully disputed or reversed 2 YEARS after the fact. It may be true, but it certainly does not comport with any successful charge dispute time frame previously known to ME...

I paid GMAC Timeshare Division $2100 with the promise that I have have rented a week before my first credit card payment was due. They would also rent out 2 special events for more money per year. That was about 14 months ago and nothing has been rented. The last time I called them I was told that they are only paid to market it for me. The contract may even say that but their sales reps say they will rent. Stay away from them and any other who want upfront fees. They are all liars. I have contacted the Florida Attorney General and sent all of the information they requested. Maybe in time this scammer will be made to pay restitution and be out of business. Of couse they may well start another similiar business. They should all be made to feed the homeless daily or put in jail.. If only it was easy. I may contact the Agriculture department in Florida as they give these companies their liciense to operate.

Unfortunately, whatever some lying weasel may have stated orally means absolutely NOTHING when there is also an associated written contract. You should not minimize or be casual about what the contract "...may even say...", since whatever it DOES say is ALL that really matters, legally.
When there is a vaild, signed written contract, whatever that contract actually states in writing is the ONLY thing that matters in the end. Any and all oral claims were just meaningless noise in the air --- unless ALSO expressed IN WRITING within the associated contract.
I'm not in ANY way defending these (or any other) deceitful "upfront fee" parasites. I'm merely pointing out that you apparently signed a written contract and whatever (and ONLY) what that contract states in writing is ALL that matters, despite whatever fairy tales may have been orally told OUTSIDE of the actual written contract content.
I'm quite sure that this is not what you WANT to hear, but it is nonetheless the harsh, simple truth and reality of your situation.

Is anyone tired of the scam? Are you receiving what was promised to you? Well, a promise is a promise and if anyone is interested, I will be seeking a FEDERAL ATTORNEY to start a lw suit. Waiting for a response. i am located in Ohio and I shall go forth.

What I would like to know is if this company is involved with the real GMAC (General Motors Acceptance Corporation) .... if not, that's cause for a legitimate lawsuit right there.
If anyone has done business with GMAC Timeshare Division, I would call them to see IF they are involved with the real GMAC and if not, why are they using their name in their scam. That should get their attention.

Frankly, you would be VERY hard pressed to find ANY private practice attorney or law firm which would willingly sign on for such a futile undertaking on a contingency basis; it just "ain't gonna happen"...Does anyone know of an existing or pending class action lawsuit? I have been taken by these guys as well and would love to get them out of business
If you really want to help drive parasites like this out of business, you'd be best served by filing a formal, specific, written complaint with the state Attorney General's office, as has been suggested already in numerous preceding posts within this very thread.

I have the same problem with GMAC Timesharesales. I sent $1000.00 and have not heard from them. I called them several times and spoke to someone who told me nothng was sold, but to keep calling back. That was a year ago and now when calling the same telephone numbers I can't even get through. I would be very happy to join a class action suit and go after these crooks. How does GMAC let them get away with using their name. When I asked, they even told me they were the same company as General Motors acceptance Corp. What can we do?

The first thing I would do is get in touch with the real GMAC and tell them a timeshare resale company is pirating their name .... then I'd file complaints with the attorney general in the state the fake GMAC is located with both the piracy of the GMAC name and their scam of stealing $1000 of your hard earned money.

Where is my $1000.00? I have an account with you and have heard nothing. My marketing program seems to have nothing except costs me. I believe I have been scammed. I contacted my credit card company to get back my money, they refunded it then charged it again after contact with you. Now I will speak with a lawyer in the Orlando area.

you may not believe this, however, your remark, "i have an account and have heard nothing. It required about 7 months of registed letter writing starting 4/15/2010 on $1,995 deposit to TAI,LLC. reports were sent to Tennesee Attorney General, and BBB in Nashville. and to Upper Mgt.at Visa. on 1/14/2011. my credit card was refunded so there is zero balance on the TAI,LLC deal. Prior to this, I signed up with Forever GrandVacations and cancelled within the allowed time perior. There was a NON refundable fee of $350 in the vent of cancellation. Coast to Coast was the first credit card and since it was financed by Barclay card, headquarterer in Wilmington, DE. Certified letters were sent to a Jim Steward, Pres. Again, almost 11 months later, I received a check for $350. With this case, I had help from the book by Ron Burley, (writes some for AARP, and referred to Chapt. ONE in this book. As you can see, only certified letters will show you are serious, and phone calls do not work. No, I am not attempting to sell books, just find anything that works for these professionals

it required almost six months of letter writing, however, I finally sent certified letters to all of the top management in a Visa account with a bank in st. louis. The chairman of the board finally asked of of his staff members to read my letter and request and as a result of a phone call, the entire $1,995 plus finance charges were all reversed. only One requirement was asked, Please continue to indicate the excellent service that I received from this visa company.

Yes, I have had a very bad experience with GMAC. In June 2009 I paid them $897.00 to sell or rent my timeshare. I did not hear from them for three months, so I called them, they gave some excuse about the economy and got hostile on the phone. It has been almost three years and I have heard nothing from them. So I filed a complaint with the Attorney general of the state of Florida- "Thimeshare fraud division"
