On October 21 my wife and I attended a group presentation in a hotel in Hartford, CT sponsored by Vacation Choices. They were promoting a travel club. The initial membership fee was around $10,000. We told the representatives that we were not interested in buying into the club as we already had 2 timeshares. As an incentive and an inducement to sign up with them, they agreed to reduce the membership fee to $4,495. And they would transfer the timeshares out of our name. As long as we completed the transfer paperwork in a timely manner the transfer would be completed without risk or exception. We agreed to sign a contract under those conditions. We completed all the paperwork including a
deed signing over the property to Antonio Brown promptly and overnighted it to Preferred Transfers. On January 23 we received a letter from Wyndham's transfer office stating they could not complete the transfer because they couldn't confirm the identity of the buyer. It turns out that Antonio Brown uses a mail box store address. All he had to do for the transfer to go through was send in a photo ID. That never happened and on April 26th we received a letter from Vacation Choices cancelling the transfer. I believe they intentionally let the process drag on to extend beyond the 6 month credit card
chargeback window. They never intended to transfer the timeshare to begin with.
Now we still own the timeshare we didn't want and a travel service we would never use because we can never trust them.
