Additionally, a Wyndham sales representative was supposedly assigned to sit with them on a one-on-one basis throughout their time at the resort. We are so frustrated by everything and cant even sell our ownership to get out of it all. please advise me of what is taking place at present. The problem with this scenario is that since the bidders do not have access to the actual properties on the block, they do not know whether or not they have the right to bid on the properties. I paid about $22,000 CA for my timeshare almost three years ago plus about $3000 fees, and I recently communicated with a Wyndham referral company that sells timeshares. I would also like to be added. We have been owners for over 10 years. like others, we bought only to find out there was never a vacancy anywhere we wanted to go. No water no aspirin nothing. In fact, the timeshare presentation lasted eight hours and the Overtons were promised a fixed week in December, in a fixed unit of their preference. However neither was the case. Its like fighting for scraps from the dinner table. HELP! Lies and threats. They promised the work but never provided him anything. I informed them that I did not want to give up the timeshare, as the value of the timeshare was more than that of the entire cleaning fee. Of course this realization did not come during the 5-10 day rescission period (varying by state) provided by law, and so the hapless owner came to realize that the resort would not help them and, furthermore, that the purchase contract they signed is considered to be legally binding and worse, in the absence of a way to unload their purchase on someone else, there is no exit scenario built into the contract. I was paying $60 a month in fees and they raised once. Was told the value would only increase. Now we see that they are back on our credit report indicating that we still have an account with them and our payments are past due. If you participated in RCI's Points Exchange Program, you may be eligible to file a claim for a cash payment. Difficult Im trying to get help. All they were after was my money. I was pressured into the purchase of a timeshare in Myrtle Beach, SC in 2018, I would like to join this class action. How can Wyndham continue to operation like this? Read our Newswire Disclaimer However, not sure of what good it has got me. Saying, sign this, but I cant read it because my vision is blurring. I am looking to join a class-action lawsuit against Wyndham Vacation Resorts. Please add me. The lady talked me into going the next day so I could get the free stay points. You cannot use points for cruising any longer, effective 10/1. And Legal Aid has no one who has experience in timeshare high pressure tactics. What a joke, over an hour on the phone, mostly on hold. There is a major development about a case against a renowned resort company -- Wyndham Worldwide. It is 26April2021 and I do not want the timeshare anymore I purchased it for over $8,000 in 2001 and at my age can no longer afford the almost $800 yearly maintenance fees. Before I signed the contract, the sales b person repeated to me a few times that whatever I did, I should NOT mention what he told me about the RCI points when I went to sign the contract. I also got a busy signal on his Wyndham phone # so all communication was on his cell and not recorded. I am completely disenchanted. Then you find them giving discounts on On different websites. I yelled at the idiot and told him where to put it and threw the application at him and stormed out ! They lied about the program they have to save you money. Is it too late? Hopefully this treatment will end and the legitimate owners will be treated as off-limits owners not as free sales leads. I decided to visit them and ask questions and learned about rhe non stop maintenance fee changes. If you have experienced these companies, please comment so that we can get something going here. I refused to offer more money for travel that Im likely not going to be able to go. The Wyndham timeshare owners say that instead of mere updates, these meetings were an effort to get timeshare owners to shell out more money for more points or to access various amenities. It felt like a prison. After all is considered you may prefer to hold on to your timeshare, transfer your timeshare to a family member, or donate the timeshare to a charity. I had a timeshare and every time we could never get what was promised, Very high pressure to upgrade and Las Vegas was the worst This is why the push is so hard and also why deception is so ramped in this industry. They pay the monthly fee (which is supposed to cover the cleaning and maintenance), but when they book and stay somewhere to use their points they pay again. We bought in Bonnett Creek (Orlando, FL) when it was being developed. When I spoke with RCI they said the only thing I was saving was points but if I didnt use the coupon their fee was actually less. Im scared of the exit companies who want thousands of money up front. A few years back we were told to do a owner informational meeting. The Wyndham timeshare false advertising class action lawsuit says these misrepresentations are the same ones fed to many other customers during the timeshare purchasing processes, even after they purchase. The maintenance fees go up every year. NEVER get involved it is not worth this aggrevation! The nex morning we went over and didnt get to talk with Grace we talked with Zack again and he started the sales pitch all over again, we told him we just wanted to cancel the contract he told us we had 30 days same as cash. And then Covid hit so no one was going anywhere. we were also told that what ever points we didnt use would roll over no worries, we just needed to pay a one time fee of $59.00 and every year we had to call and inform Wyndham we would like our points rolled over-HUGE LIE. We kept informing her we were not interested and we understand the points and what we currently have which was more than enough for us being that we both have full time jobs, were both young , and now with a new born child. WE NEED HELP> I HAVEALL THE PAPERWORK. Laws regarding consumer protection vary from country to country; make sure you understand the basic legislation of the country where you have bought your timeshare. They do all they can to nickle and dime every little bit (adding a $3 fee to pay the billwtf!?) Wyndham does not care about people as individuals. The copy is a COMPLETE SCAM! I am tired of being lied to, misrepresented and scammed by this timeshare company. I ve owned a wyndham timeshre for close to 5 years and have had a very negative experience with them.The experience actually began wih the high pressure sales techniques they employed.They continually raise maintanence fees something else they failed to mention in there presentation along with a whole list of other difficulties in using there service .I would very much like to be part of this. Its criminal what they get away with!. One of the more clever things they do, is just tell you what you want to hear so you will go away. 19+ years of ownership, and have NEVER been able to utilize my timeshare, RCI points, nothing. I was there over 4 hours. They also applied for two lines on my behalf without me knowing. They called our room several times a day to talk to him during our stay. They have only used it twice in 4 years. I questioned and questioned about maintenance fees because I had heard they can get high. I was 77 and my husband was 76 years old when we got bullied into buying this. Not wanting to draw public attention to the matter, Wyndham settled outside of court ensuring that the matter was dealt with privately. The salesmans name was Brandon. Wyndham needs to be investigated for withholding properties from owners and selling them out on demand to the highest bidder. Upon reading your story, I wanted to suggest using the exit company, Timeshare Compliance. We paid our fees/dues regularly on time and tried multiple times to book vacations for the family. I want to join this class action lawsuit !!! yes, similarly my husband and I purchased under false information regarding maintenance fee cost and availability in 1996. Fees got up to $500.00 a month! The sales meetings do in fact last all day and into the night. Because every property is booked when we want to go someplace. And of course, the reason you cant find a vacation vacancy is because Wyndham is filling all the rooms up with freebies so that their sales associates can earn mega commissions off them and you. I was also promised all the above. Not once was I told or inform that I was signing up for a new contract. 4 hours later I am free to go with my new very small plan after being passed from one sales rep to another and any other that happened to pass by my table. Learn about two critical cases that ended positively for the consumer, understand the basic process of undergoing a class action lawsuit, and some potential deterrents to moving in this direction.

Westgate is a 1.4 billion dollar company and were sued, not by class action but by a couple who experienced the manipulative sales tactics of timeshare presenters that so many timeshare owners have experienced. My wife and I have been to Wyndham time share pitches twice at least. I was lied to and offered a perk during my travels over two years ago when I signed up and since then I have not been able book pretty much anywhere not to mention the fact that I was led to believe that my points would be more than enough to cover pretty much any 7 to 10 day trip once a year. What we got is flat out lie. of course, I agreed with their assessment of the situation after questioning why I couldnt simply transfer to a Bronze Access plan. They filed paperwork without my knowledge and opened a credit card under my name when I never authorized opening a credit card. Please add me to the class action lawsuit. Every single word mentioned are the obsolete truth. This scam needs to be stopped. Essentially, the plaintiffs are accusing the company that sold them their timeshare of negligence, breach of contract, and/or fraud. What are our fees to be added to this lawsuit? Ask them if you can sign the deed over in lieu of forclosure.
