I was contacted on Feb 20 by Mr. Benjamin Ward and told that our time share had been sold. He gave me a price for our time share which was agreeable with my spouse and myself.
We were told there were title transfer fees and a document stamp tax which needed to be paid by us in addition to fees by International vacation solutions. The amount in total was $1420. - 1293 i funds and 127 in processing charges which needed to be paid before we could proceed, but would be refunded by the sellers when the property was purchased in full. Having never sold such a property, we went on the advisement on this person and a Mr. Chad Jennings of the company which I also spoke with.
In the meantime I spoke with a family friend who unfortunately did not have any experience selling such a property and could not advise me. We needed to transfer the money from our bank account and wire it to the company bank account, which I did on 2-22.
I was told by Mr. Ward the property was to have closed in as short as 45 days, but could take up to 90 days, depending on financing for the purchasing party.
I received the contract to sign from Premier Title Services with an additional 1052.76 in fees being due - again being told this would be returned to me when the property was sold. We paid these fees again - and since this time have been unable to contact any of these parties involved.
The phone number for International vacation solutions still exists - however no one returns the phone calls - and I've left several - both for Mr. WArd and Mr. Jennings.in addition, the phone number for Premier Title Services is disconnected. So - this finds us nearly out $2500. - and having been played quite nicely.
