We were contacted by Sunterra Resorts on or about August 14. As with many of these timeshare companies they require you to be in some outrageous income bracket.
Sunterra's... $50,000.00 a year. When the sales man asked if we made the fifty thousand a year I told him no, I do not.
It should have ended there, but it did not. This unrelenting creep, then asked me if I owned a home equal to the income requirements. I said yes I do and he said that would be fine.
After, messing our initial reservation, the credit manager, Mike McClure called us to confirm our $99.00 purchase. I again mentioned the fact that we do not meet the financial requirements and relayed what the first salesman had said about the house.
All he said was "yeah that'll be alright, but whatever you do when you arrive make sure you tell them you make the $50,000.00 a year." I still didn't feel right.
Fearing I would lose the money ($99.00 on my credit card) and an additional $400-$825 from not showing up as scheduled, I made the 524 mile trip with my ill husband and 3 kids. I was disqualified on the spot.
I am now in jeapordy of losing a lot of money I got nothing but humiliation and all they ahd to say was I should have said no thanks and hung up. Trust me that is easier said than done.
Mind you, this is a much edited version of the whole story, but I am fear of losing something I don't have to lose, money to pay my bills and feed my kids.
