Lenders Acquisitions
I have never been scammed and I am not affiliated with any on line company. I am retired law enforcement just trying to prevent scammers like you from ripping people off. Go to PRL dicussion in here and you will see that I helped many people avoid their scam and they also argued their scam with me and look what happened.
Get a real job and make an honest living like I did. I like helping others avoid these scams. It's very rewarding and I can sleep at night. The more you rant the more we will respond to your garbage. I have a lot of time to go head to head with you. Bring it on !

Bruce, I am sorry I misunderstood your earlier post. You were stressing the face to face aspect of your company and yet the address listed as your location is a mail drop. So you either do business out of your home or some other place that you can't receive mail or do not want to reveal the location of your business. Either way is fine but as a business who is asking anyone clients to send several hundred dollars or more based on your "guarantee" I would think your clients would like full disclosure. Again I am still not sure what you do. Now you seem to be saying that your company does not market and meet face to face with buyers but contracts with affiliate companies that do. What companies do you affiliate with? This is also important info for potential clients. Also if your affiliates come to you with a buyer looking to buy a specific property and you have to call owners to get them under contract, why are you paying your affiliates for large marketing expenses when the people they bring in default at an especially high rate and don't go through with the deals (as you said in an earlier post). Maybe you should only pay your affiliates when the deal closes and at the same time you will be paid a commission.
Again you keep referring to your expenses and operation as similar to a developers with the exception that you need to be paid before the deal is completed. But then you say your just an in between step in the process. I guess it just makes no sense that an in between step needs to be paid by the seller.
Although no one here has come up claiming to be scammed I have seen some posters on other sites. And all the people who claim to be satisfied "clients" have a huge odor of shill. One of my biggest concern is I have never heard or see anyone post anywhere that they have bought through an organization that you are a piece of. If you could perhaps reveal who the organization is and it could be verified that they work with you and have satisfied buyers it would be more believable.
One other think. You say you send the contract an encourage people to have their lawyer look it over. I am not sure if it was here or somewhere else though that it is mentioned that if the owner contacted on the phone takes to long to decide the buyer typically moves on to someone who is ready to commit right away. Also getting back to the mail drop- what happens when the property doesn't sell and the seller wants his money back? Since all the person has is a phone number and a mail drop box what would prevent your company from changing to a different mail drop box and a different phone number. How would they find you if they needed to pursue legal action to get you to honor your guarantee. There is a reason people google addresses and like to see "real address" and call the owner of the buildings to verify the business and the length of time the business has been at that location. Again this may be lumping you in with scammers- which you may not be but again your company's business model is so similar to so many other scam companies.

I want to know when the company was formed and who are the officers and their addresses and phone numbers. If you refuse to answer my questions or Tracey's questions you are a scammer. Tracey brought up a lot of good points. Why do you hide behind a mail drop ? I have a feeling you will either not answer our questions or give a whole long rant without any facts.
Anyone dumb enough to get involved with this company derserves to lose their hard earned money. NEVER pay anyone money upfront to rent or well your timeshare !!!!

Hello Kevin I have been out of the office sorry we missed each other your agent is no longer with us and your messages have now been forward to customer service. Unfortunately, as this does happen your buyer backed out... I will be able to contact you tomorrow afternoon & also will take care of your deposit. Thanks, Admin

Kevin..... the Federal Trade Commission just put together a special unit to go after timeshare scams. They are targeting in on companies that claim they have buyers and take upfront money from victims and then claim the buyer backed out of the deal and keep your money. They phone number for the FTC is 1-877-382-4357. You can google them and get their website. If you don't get your money refunded promply you can file a compliant and they will definitely go after them. Good luck.

I don't have to forward this to Bruce. He monitors this thread. If he doesn't do the right thing and promply refund you money he's going to get a rude awakening when the FTC contacts him. They formed this unit specifically to go after companies that use these tactics to steal from owners.

He has sent me a refund form stating that he had been unaware of my requests and only through this website did he contact me. I know I called and let lengthy messages to his extention a t least a dozen times and to the salesman who is no longer there. The form says I am forbidden to copy it but I will say It directs you to send it to the original address where the deposit was sent. He said I needed to do this according to section four of the contract but it does not say this in section 4 only to inform them in writing which I did multiple times.
Anyway I asked for the refund express mail the I had to sent it, so lets see what they do. Thank you again for replying kevin

I went to contact them to refer them to my neighbor because they did I good job for me selling my unit. I looked them up for a quick reference and ran across this discussion. After reading most of this I felt I should put in here that Lenders did good for us. It seems they can't my neighbor with there timeshare sale at the moment but I gave him the number and they said they would call if they were able to. I see one person looking for a refund it seems thats in the process?? I would think they would follow through with there guarantee as I don't see any other complaints. Doesn't know if this helps but I sure support them.

Tell your neighbor to never, ever pay any entity an upfront fee to list your timeshare for sale or rent .... if you did, then you're lucky that it sold OR you're a shill for that company.

I told my neighbor to about the fee I lost with another company so I understand. It's a shame there's not more help out there for them. I've looked for other options before Lenders Acquisitions contacted me but couldn't find a company that didn't have a upfront cost. I guess I'm lucky but this company did follow through with there agreement and our timeshare nightmare over with. I can't complain about there service. It is my neighbors concern as well with everyone saying don't pay. Let me know if there's another company that can sell it for them since Lenders cant help. Thanks

If a company wants to sell in behalf of your neighbor, that company should be a licensed resale broker. They take their commission out of the proceeds of the sale, not upfront.
the website ltrba.com has a list of licensed resale brokers.
