Anyone have any dealings with Innovative Timeshare Resorts or Innovative Resorts International

Indeed Innovative is hard to deal with. I found that the only way to get their attention was to contact the Attorney General of the State of Florida and the Dept of Agriculture that has a dept dealing with consumer affairs. I did get a refund but I had to be persistant.

Thanks, I have sent a complaint to the Attorney general of Florida and also New York. I also filed a complaint with the BBB. I was also advised to send a letter to the fraud department for my credit card, which I intend to do. I don't know how this company can still be in business. They should all be strung up.

I had little or no success with the credit card company but it is worth a try. I only had success with the Attorney General of Florida

This company is nothing but a pile of crap while taking consumers money. They flat out tell you they have a buyer for your property and then tell you they need 1999.00 for closing cost. Once you sign a contract, they change EVERYTHING!!!It is now a marketing fee and not attorney fee which they first stated to reel you in!!! I hope to sue this company and have it go down in flames!

Sabrina, This is fraud. Call your local police department.

The Florida Attorney General has legal authority, leverage, horsepower --- and won't ever charge you a DIME. With that in mind, why would you instead place your recovery hopes and prospects in the hands of an unknown private entity that, at some juncture, is going to charge you money (amount or percentage unspecified) for their alleged "services"?

It's your personal decision and it's your money, but be advised that the only credible success stories I have EVER personally seen are from people who have utilized the considerable power and authority of the Florida Attorney General --- by submitting well documented, factually complete, written complaints to the Florida AG. If you choose to pursure other "alternative avenues" instead, understand first that you are also choosing to "roll the dice" --- and paying money, at some point, to do so...

I AM EX EMPLOYEE OF GOLDSTAR AND THIS IS NOT SCAM IT IS FRAUD..

Yes ,I am another one of this outfits victems. I feel that the people who participate in this type of business are committing a crime and should face criminal charges with imprisonment along with paying restitution and punitive damages. There actions are a premeditated assult on the victems. They are preditory in that the intent is to mislead and steal. The emotional damage along with the financial damage leaves one feeling as though they have been vertually raped. I found myself afraid to answer the phone. Wanting to hide out and not face anyone. You question yourself on whether you can ever trust anyone again. The humiliation of being suckered in by a type of scare tactic they use to dispairage other companies fraudulant actions, giving you a false sense of sincerity because they hate those companies that are just taking advantage of you. Of course you can trust them, they would never do anything so underhanded. BLAH, BLAH ,BLAH, One real emotional rapingarre the ones that tell you they have a buyer and you will have a check in 3 weeks, just send your share of the closing cost , only about$2,500. you back away as you don't have that amount at this time, so they will take half now and the rest after the check has arrived. Funny though the check never arrives. They shoot high let you think they are bending the rules for you and you only, Your are grateful for the discount and they pocket $1,250 for the phone call. They turn off the phones after they get your money. Then a month or so they call saying that the company was fraudulant and they are calling to help you recover money for only an up front fee of $900. You don't have that amount so they will let you pay $750.up front the balance after restitution has been made. Only it never arrives. So it goes on and on and on. Paying fines are just not enough. They really need the force of the justice system on their tail . I feel as though I have been raped , assaulted, mentally abused that leaves you feeling physically abused. Good Luck to all

This is another rip off company, they'll tell you they have a buyer, but after you pay them oops all of a sudden the deal falls thru.. They also say that they will return the money if the deal doesn't close, but if you read the double speak in the contract closely it comes around to the fact that you only get your money back if there is actually a closing. Don't fall for it like I did..

You can use this Just change the words to match the problem

Sorry to hear that you got ripped off by them.

The most important thing to remember for everyone out there is that you don't want to do business with anyone who contacts you first.

I've said it, other people have said it, yet the number of people who fall prey to these companies continues to astonish me.

Think of it this way, would anyone at all do business with a company that contacted them out of the blue and said that they had a buyer for their house, their car, and/or their dining room set? NO, of course not.

Personally, I can't sympathize with anyone claiming to be a "victim" after they have made the individual CHOICE to willfully VOLUNTEER to get scammed, despite all of the repetitive (ad nauseum, in fact) advice and warnings, time and time again, NEVER to do so...

I just got a release letter from Wyndham canceling my mortgage and giving me an %80 refund of what I've paid so far. Its not a profit but Im saving $80,000 over the next twelve years. I found a company online called American Resort Resolutions. They're number is 866-444-4330. I promised them that if they got me out I would help spread the word. Mention that your calling because of Jane Fellmen please.

1. Who on earth could / would ever possibly acquire (or who would ever grant) a $80,000 loan on a timeshare in the first place?

2. What timeshare on Planet Earth would EVER involve $80k in the first place? Most developer-direct sales at Wyndham are generally between $15k -- $20k price range (and certainly grossly overpriced even at that amount).

3. Wyndham financing is issued by a third party, as far as I know. Accordingly, Wyndham would not even have the legal standing or authority to "release" ANYONE from a loan which Wyndham didn't even issue in the first place! They could accept a "deedback" (in lieu of foreclosure) if there was no outstanding debt on it, but neither Wyndham nor anyone else can "forgive" a loan they didn't issue in the first place. That's not even legally plausible.

There are some truly clueless readers in these forums, but your claim insults the intelligence of even the dumbest among them...

SHILL ALERT .... your assertions are ridiculous .... (1) there's no $80,000 timeshares out there (2) nobody can get you out of a mortgage .... you must really think we readers and posters at Redweek's forums are clueless on your timeshare scam .... YOU'RE WRONG.

Yes I am POSITIVE that they are SCAMMERS! They have scammed me & are trying to get away with it. They lie about having your timeshare sold, & of course, during verification you are told that you have to say that no one told you that your timeshare was sold. (All the scammers do that). Then they fight the disputes with their contracts that are deceptive. They are guilty of illegal, deceptive trade practices. Also, they make sure that no one is named in their contract & none of them are signed by anyone from Innovative.

Sharp Innivations offers a money back garentee if the don't sell your timeshare in 6 months timeframe. They sound legit. Has anyone had dealings with this outfit?

If they have a guarantee why do they need your money if the first place? How many people have to fall for this scam before people will learn? These companies don't even stay in business six months. The only guarantee is that you will lose your money. Deal with a licensed real estate Broker. If they take your money you can go to the State and collect your money from a recovery fund. http://www.licensedtimeshareresalebrokers.org If you want to pay to advertise do it here. If you want a broker click on the above link.

Don't sign up with them. They definitely don't have someone to buy your timeshare. I did and over a year later still nothing. In my opinion they are a ripoff.

When the 6 months is up they'll tell you that they'll keep listing it until they find a buyer (there will be no buyer). All they want is your upfront fee and they may even ask for more money to extend the listing.
