THEY MEET WITH YOU AND DISCUSS YOUR TIME SHARE OR HAVE A 20 MINUTE TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH YOU. THEY ARE GOING TO CALL US LATER THIS WEEK. HAS ANYONE HAD ANY CONTACT WITH THEM AND HOW DO THEY WORK.
Basically, they will want YOU to pay THEM money to take your timeshare. In general, PCC's look for $2,500 -- $3,500 as their "fee". Sound good? I didn't think so...

we just paid them 4,000.00 and we are not sure if we got anything for our money. they lied to us about our time-share resort not willing to take back our deed. we just spoke to our resort and they said they would take it back for 300.00. we feel we have been scammed. i would like to ask you all what address did they give you.

If you paid the $4000 within 60 days then you can dispute the charge (ASAP) with your credit card company revealing to them that they told you your resort would not take your timeshare back when they do indeed take deedbacks (false representation).

Most (...maybe even all) PCC's require payment of their charges BY CHECK (i.e., no credit cards), right at the time of contract signature, specifically in order to AVOID any future possibility of their fees being later disputed "after the fact".
In addition, verbal representations which are not also reflected in writing within the associated contract have no legal or binding meaning whatsoever anyhow. Accordingly, verbal inaccuracies (intentional or not) would be most unlikely to be a valid basis for dispute of a credit card charge (keep in mid that a formal written contract IS always executed, in person, for each and every PCC transaction). PCC's and "upfront fee marketers" are completely and distinctly different entities utilizing entirely different practices.
That much now corrected and clarified, I still have to wonder why anyone would inquire of the resort about the possibility of a "deedback" only AFTER paying out $4,000 to a PCC. I would think that someone would want to conclusively know (with absolute certainty, directly and ONLY right from the resort itself) the resort position and practices on "deedbacks" --- long BEFORE considering paying out a dime (let alone thousands of dollars) to any other third party...

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that.
