Timeshares Only Reviews

I called TimeShare only in March of 2007 to sell my timeshare in Florida and the promised that would be able to sell it or rent it. They charge me 600 dollars for my two bedroom loft and I have never heard anything else from that company unless I call about it. I think it is wrong that they have scammed so many people out here that work so hard. The damages that this company has done to me is unbelievable financially and mentally because my timeshare is still up for sale since 2007 and the maintenance fees are steady going up and that was my reason for selling my Timeshare.

Sold me a timeshare and offered to buy it back at half the price when the economy tanked. I was forced to do it because of my financial situation. I have heard that this is their business plan and they do this to thousands.

I am an American currently working overseas in Iraq. I had been scammed into buying another Timeshare with the impression that I was upgrading to one really nice one. I decided that I wanted to try and sell them or at least rent them out until I could get them sold. I had sent in request to several timeshare-buying companies.

While on vacation in Florida, my husband and I fell victim to the timeshare scam at Westgate Resorts. As the taxes and maintenance fees climbed, we knew it was time to get out of it if possible. After being sent information reporting their participation with the PGA show and samples of e-mails from interested buyers, I fell for their (D. **) line. This was through Resort Equity Marketing but when I got the actual contract, it was with Timeshares Only. I was told they were sister companies. This was in 2006 and I never received a single call. I did call to check on the progress at one point and spoke with a female who reassured me that they would continue to advertise it until it sold. While sorting through my paperwork recently, I found my contract and decided to look it up only to find my property was not listed. After looking closely at the fine print at the bottom of the contract, it states you must notify them every 12 months to extend your ad at no additional cost. Of course, this was never spoken to us. In fact, we were told it would continue to be listed until sold. If there is anyone who has a class action against this company I would appreciate being notified.

I listed my timeshares to sell with Timeshares Only a couple of years ago with them stating that they could sell them within 6 months. I have not received any correspondence from them for over a year and no sale of property at Kona Hawaiian Resort Village.

Timeshares only advertise to sell timeshare. They took my money and never advertised or sold my timeshare. Lost 590 dollar.

Update. Gloria of San Diego, CA February 16, 2010. I wanted to let other people that have been scammed by Timeshares Only, know the outcome of filing my complaint with American Express. I paid the 598 dollars membership fee to Timeshares Only with my American Express card. I contacted AMEX and they told me they didn't think I could get the refund back because Timeshares Only was advertising my timeshare with no end date in site other than what the representative on the phone said. Your timeshare will sell within 90 days. American Express has resolved the dispute in my favor. They got me the 598 dollars back. I'm so happy and I suggest others go to the credit card you used to pay these scammers. AMEX may have had other dealings with this company and I'm sure they did and realized what a fraud they are. I wish Timeshares Only and others like them could get sued for all the money they have scammed out of innocent people. Hope this helps someone get their money back. Good Luck.

Briefly my wife and I went to a timeshare sells presentation. The salesman was Greg ** and he told us a lot of lies. Today 3-26-2010, I called the Florida Dept. of Business and Professional Regulations and a gentleman named Erick told me that Greg ** isn't listed as having a real estate license for Florida. He said typically they need one unless they are on salary instead of commissions.

I listed my timeshare with Timeshares Only based on the information from the sales representative that my time share should sell in about 6 months. Their success rate in selling was at the time of any company. I paid $598.00 up from for this service in 2008. To date, no one has called with any offers, they state they are like a newspaper and place an ad, no refunds.

In September of 2007, I paid Timeshares Only almost $600 to list my timeshare. It was supposed to be a one time fee and they would run the ad until it sold. Well, I have not had one call regarding an offer for my timeshare, although I have reduced the price a few times. I also decided to check the ad myself on the website and could not find it. When I contacted them to ask why, they told me I had to periodically "reactivate it". If I paid you a fee and you agreed to run the ad until it sold, I should not have to call and reactivate it! This business is a complete scam!

I paid Timeshares Only $598 November 3, 2009 to sell my timeshare in Mazatlan, Mexico. They sent me paperwork that listed a different timeshare than mine. I asked for corrected paperwork and they resent the same misinformation. I have not heard from them and still don't have the correct paperwork. I called today to get a refund and they absolutely refused. It is their company policy "no refunds".

In May 2007, I was contacted by Timeshares Only, a company I found to be fraudulent. They promised to advertise my four timeshares and to have them sold in a few months. I paid them $598 and never heard from them again. I made several attempts to contact them and to ask them where and how my timeshares were being advertised. I asked to see my specific ad since I was told it would appear on billboards, in newspapers, on television, on radio and on the internet. No one was ever able to produce any evidence that there was an ad running to sell my property.

We paid money and listed our time share to sell with them several years ago. We have heard nothing and the information we received to look at our ad online does not work. We continue to get calls from other companies to list our timeshare with them. If we're already on a web site for sale why do we get calls? I think they took our money and kept it and has not done anything. They told us that they could sell our timeshare real quick. That was just another lie of many when you get involved with these people.

I posted my Timeshares property with Timeshares Only, the #1 resale agency. I paid $399.00 for the services. I never signed a contract and would like my money back after reviewing a number of complaints that were posted by others who warned me and others about a possible scam with no way of getting your money back.

I have been listed since April '09. I haven't received the first inquiry on my property. I paid $598.00 and was assured that my time share would sell. They advised me to book my vacation and try to rent the week before the year ended. Well, I lost the points and I still haven't received an inquiry. They are evasive and nonchalant in their customer service. I will look for an avenue of compensation against this company. Do not send this company your money. I am out of $598.00, and I still have to continue to pay my time share maintenance fees for a time share that I can no longer afford.

I contacted Timeshares Only, after seeing their TV ads, and received the most positive response. I was told that I could get at least what I had paid and even more. They assured me that my pricing would be a quick sale, and as such I asked them then why I am being charged upfront? Their response was this is all they will take and others that do not charge upfront will take a larger commission on the sale so this is a better way to sell the Timeshare. It has now been well over a year with little contact. I did receive a phone call asking me if I wanted to rent out one of my Villas? My response was, "I paid you people $598 so you could call me to rent my Villa?" This is not what I signed up for and the person's response was she is not from the Sales dept, blah, blah, blah.

Last September I thought it would be good to compare the resale vs direct price from HGVC, and Timeshares Only showed a lot of potential in the listing that they have. I made a couple of inquiries on properties that I liked and they called me right away. They were able to get me a better deal than the advertised and everything went great, until I sent the final payment to the closing company. They contacted me to request that I pay next year fees in advance by 2 months. I contacted HGVC and they told me there was no need to do this since they will send me the bill as soon as the close has closed and my member profiles has been created, and send this information back to Timeshares Only.

Anyone considering using this service should take their $598 and give it to a qualified RE Agent instead. This company is not in the business of marketing your time share, only taking your money. Their site is cumbersome to use. While they advertise in many places, when you jump online to use their services, you get lost in the shuffle. Now for additional monies, they will "highlight" your property. But they should be equally trying to sell all of their properties. As so many people here said, it is a scam. And while they tell you upfront they don't make promises, they sure make it sound like they work hard. Go and try and get one of them on the phone consistently. Work hard? Only at scamming your money. Do not use this resale company.

In 2004, I paid nearly $500 to have an ad posted online to sell my TimeShare. Ad was supposed to run until sold. Ad was removed from the Internet twice during this time without notification. As of 11/6/09, no offers on the property had been made even though the price was reduced below all similar offerings. This is a scam.

We called and wanted to sell our timeshare. Collyn told us that if our property did not sell in six months, we would get our money back. That was a lie. I called and they said they do not give refunds. They are thieves and liars. We are so upset. We no longer trust any company. I have turned them into the Justice Department.

Timeshares Only claims that in as little as a few weeks your timeshare could be sold. This is bogus. They make no effort to sell any timeshares. This is a big scam to swindle money from consumers.

I spoke with Timeshares Only and they made it out like my timeshare would sell in a few months. They said we owned in a great week and a great location, and it would not be a problem. It has been a year and 3 months and we haven't received any offers and no one has contacted us at all about anything. There is no refund even though they have not sold our property. I wonder if they are even advertising our property. The customer care specialist I spoke with today actually said that she was sure I was told a lot of things when we bought the timeshare that was not true. I would not recommend this company and like I told the lady at the company today, I think they are putting out false advertising with their ads. All the ads say thinks like, "Sold in 3 weeks or within a month." It all seems like a big scam to me to get people to pay them $598 for nothing and there is no way to get your money back.

I desperately need to resolve an issue concerning the purchase of a timeshare over four years ago. I purchased this timeshare while visiting the resort over a long weekend. I expressed my decision not to purchase at that time, because of my disability status on my job which I never returned to. My disability became permanent. A few weeks after I realized what a mistake this purchase was, I contacted the company but they said they would not purchase the timeshare from or release me from the sale. I paid $598 to Timeshares Only believing that they would sell the property as they claimed they would. Like so many others that I have read about, this company has told each customer the same thing, and after receiving the fee, nothing happens. This has gone on for over four years, and now the resort is constantly adding fees that are not explained to my satisfaction. The written response that I received from Williamsburg Plantation does not make sense, nor does it answer my question about how these fees keep accumulating so quickly.

I listed my timeshare with them in August 2007 and still have not sold my property despite lowering the cost. I was told my property was the 2nd lowest and still nothing. I checked my ad # on the website and nothing would come up. I called and a customer service agent stated that my ad was temporarily down. So my ad is not online? This company is a rip-off because they refuse to refund my money. If you are unable to sell my property or even have the ad running 24/7, then give me back my money!

I would like say that Timesharesonly is false and a major scam. I am just sad that I am a victim of the scam. We need the authorities to look into this company because it is only a scam.

I have a couple of complaints about this company. First off, I want to state that you should never pay to advertise your timeshare. Has anyone actually checked the inventory this company has? All of the testimonials are fake and written by employees. The most recently sold list is made up because within days, they randomly get rotated to a person that was there months ago. They never have sold my timeshare. I have been listed for 7 years. Not one single phone call and I wasn't promised a time frame but I expect at least a call, update or offer, not one. I have made a couple searches around and have found awful information about these scam artists.

I just received an advertisement in the mail from Timeshares Only, so I called them and had a nice chat with the lady about renting out my timeshare. Since I have had ineffectual service in the past from other companies, I told her I needed to think about it some more before I let them advertise for me. Then, I went online to see what other people had to say about them. That's how I found this site.

We registered our Branson Woods timeshare almost one year ago and was promised they could sell it in 90 days and nothing has happened and we even lowered the price. I cannot believe the State of Florida allows such companies to be in operation. I paid $500 for nothing. They said the money could not be refunded. Timeshares only sure took the money and ran. This is a rip off if I have ever seen one.

I listed with this timeshare company 4 years ago (2005 or 2004). Their promise to sell my timeshare at Westgate, as of 2009, has not been realized. They do not however refund the funds ($600) given to them in good faith. This should be considered false advertisement. I'm sure many others share my sentiment.

The story is the same. I listed my timeshare with Timeshares Only back in 11/07. They assured me that they could sell this for $15,000 in 90 days. So I sent them the $500. Six months later, no calls. They stated that times were slow. Okay, so I dropped the price to $12,000. Here it is in 04/09, I called and stated what's going on. They didn't know what to say. I asked for my money back. They stated they couldn't do it so I hung up on them.

Two years ago they charged us $500 to list our timeshare in Florida. They promised that they would have it sold before our next maintenance fee was due. They listed it for around $14,000. A year later it had not sold and we contacted them again, and this time they lowered the price to 11,999. It is another year gone by and it is still not sold. They will not refund our money because the timeshare is still listed, but they have not sold it. We have to pay maintenance fees on a timeshare that we have never been able to visit. We would like to have our money returned because they did not live up to the deal. If they can't sell it, why should they be able to keep our money? They also told us that there have not been any hits on this property at all.

I listed my timeshare two years ago with Timeshares Only and paid $600. I was assured that they would be able to find a buyer for it before your next maintenance fee. They haven't sold or rented my timeshare, and when one calls to find out the status of it, they are NOT at all helpful and sometimes rude. This place is a RIP-OFF.

This company is a rip off. They run ads on TV. We can sell your timeshare in weeks. They want your 600 dollars and you never hear from them again. They stole our money 4 years ago and never called to rent or sell. One time when you call, they hand you the same old line - we get calls. What kind of calls, what to rip someone else off? Return our money because you don't want to rent or sell. What, no offers in 4 years?

About 8 months ago I listed with Timeshares Only to sell my timeshare. They had promised they could sell it in about 6 months. I paid $598.00 up front to have them sell it. OK - for advertising they said. I've also emailed and called to check on it by phone. I've even lowered the price and still NOTHING!! They tell me well the money you paid is good until we sell it, but in the meantime I still have to pay the maintenance fee and monthly payment for something I was told would sell fast.

We called to ask about selling our timeshare and they promised us the moon. It wouldn't take long at all to see our timeshare. I have called a few times checking to see why our timeshare isn't selling, always get "We are advertising but there is no hits. Lower the price." We have lowered the price a few times now, still nothing happening. I would not recommend anyone going to timeshares only to sell their time shares. They are a joke and only want your money. I have lowered the price again today just to try and get rid of it. Not happy at all with these people.

If you get a call to come listen to an offer for a timeshare from a company in Pennsylvania selling timeshares in Laurel Mountain Resort and Spa and they offer you money in gas ($300) and a 3-night vacation in any Marriott resort in the country and a 5-piece set of luggage and dinner for 2 at 3 restaurants of your choice from known national chain restaurants, It's ALL a lie. DON'T GO! The restaurant meal is NOT dinner for 2, it's $30 towards dinner. The gas which I called to confirm BEFORE I drove 3 hours to this place and asked if I would get a coupon of $300 to use as I please, I was told, "Absolutely." Actually, they want me to mail them $100 worth of receipts EVERY MONTH and only then, will I get a voucher for $25. Wow, so they will keep me on a budget for the next year and have me mailing them receipts and ONLY going to ONE gas station just to get their lousy $25 a month! NOT HOW THEY SAID IT WILL WORK!

I just hate the timeshare I bought. I can never get availability and those guys at Westgate are so rude. I just wish I never bought this thing because it has caused me so much financial problems. They said I could go all over the world with this.. England, Scotland, Australia, anywhere I wanted no problem. But that is not the case. I have other timeshares that I like much better and I use them often. I go all over with no worries. But Marriott. They are great. I have a platinum ownership 2 bedroom in Hawaii.

I was contacted by a representative from Timeshares Only to list my timeshare. I was pressured for the $598.00, which I placed on my credit card. I was told that my timeshare would sell before my next maintenance fee was due; yet it still sits on their website. I contacted Timeshares about the length of the listing and was told to reduce my list price. I reduced the list price well below what I paid and it still continues to sit on the website. The false advertisement and the ongoing maintenance fees are causing damage to an ever increasing economically stressful situation.

About 3 years ago, I listed with Timeshares only to sell my timeshare. They had promised they could sell it in about 6 months. I paid $800 upfront to have them sell it. Ok - for advertising they said. I also called to check on it by phone. The lady was very hateful with me and claimed it was advertised. Yes along with a lot of others. But you sure couldn't tell whose was whose. They continue to advertise on TV and I personally believe it is false advertising and should have to pay back every dime they have stolen from everyone who advertised with them. I've never even received one phone call. NOTHING!!!! How can they continue to rip people off and get away with it? I do honestly believe that God does not like thieves and He still has vengeance. A lot of people have no fear of God but they will see.

Promised to sell timeshare very fast. Been about 8 years... lol. Very unprofessional, do not contact or keep you updated. Once they get paid, there is no incentive for them to sell. Their advertisements on TV are a joke... Please beware.

I was told by Timeshares only they guaranteed to sell my Timeshare or rent it. Well, it's been over 3 years since they took my money and still not one call to sell or even rent. I was also promised that they would refund my money if I sold it before they did. Well I did sell it and still no refund either.

When I talked to Mr. Jason **, He assured me that my timeshare property would be sold within the six months of registration with the company (CNC Timeshares). It is almost 2 years now. Nothing has happened yet. I called him twice, but Mr. ** never returned my phone calls. He was so eager to withdraw the registration fee ($500.00) from my account that he promised me a lot. After withdrawing the $500.00, I never heard from Mr. **.

In 2004, I signed up for a Time Share with the Galeria. At the time, the sales agent assured both my mother and I that we would be able to sell it at any time. Since then, my mother has taken ill and we can no longer afford the time share. Since 2007, we have been trying to sell the time share and have even asked The Galleria for assistance in getting this accomplished. I have been harassed and threatened over the past year regarding this time share. We have been threatened that we will be sued by the company which extended the loan to us for the time share. Now the organization has resulted in automatically removing money form my check in account without my permission. This has resulted in over $500 in over draft fees.

I paid a fee of $598.00 charged to a credit card to have Timeshares Only sell my timeshare back in July of 2007. They guaranteed that they would sell my timeshare. To this date, I have received no updates. I called, and they suggested lowering my asking price, which I did by $2,000 so that mine is the lowest in my category, but still no word. I called for a refund of my fee and they told me that I cannot have one. I feel I like I paid for someone to post something on a website, which is the extraordinary amout of advertising that they do.

I think I am an idiot. I bought timeshare in Vancouver, BC from Point To Point Destinations (PTP Destinations, West Coast Timeshare). I was ready to eat it and blame only my own stupidity. Then little by little I discovered that there are other people in the same situation as I am.

The rep. that called asked if I was going to re-schedule my appt. I stated that my husband is ill with his heart right now and that I would pass on the info. regarding there company to a family member and he asked how much I knew about worldMark and I replied I know that it is about time shares according to the confirmation letter I recieved in the mail, he was rude to me in saying I could,nt possibly know, then I replied, he should never call my home again, I have been called several times regardless, and I do not appreciate being harrassed in this manner or any manner

If you get a call to come listen to an offer for a time share from a company in Pennsylvania selling time shares in Laurel Mountain resort and spa and they offer you money in gas ($300) and a 3 night vacation in any Marriott resort in the country and a 5 piece set of luggage and dinner for 2 at 3 restaurants of your choice from known national chain restaurants Its ALL a lie. DONT GO! The restaurant meal is NOT dinner for 2, its $30 towards dinner.

Wow, so they will keep me on a budget for the next year and have me mailing them receipts and ONLY going to ONE gas station just to get their lousy $25 a month! NOT HOW THEY SAID IT WILL WORK!

i purchase a time share on 7/3/08, during my presentation i recorded the conversation, so the product sound interesting, so me and my hursband purchase it. the agreement was to purchase a two bedroom codominium with 1600 point and with bi-annual fees. when we was at the presentation i had three kids with me while i was 8 month pregnant.

I paid a fee of $598.00 charged to a credit card to have Timeshares Only sell my timeshare on Sept. 9, 2006. Timeshares Only guaranteed me that they would sell my timeshare. To this date, I have received only one call and regarding a rental that never went through and nothing else. I also dropped the asking price with them. I called for a refund of my fee and they tell me that I cannot have one. I feel I have been taken advantage of and want a refund of the fee charged me.
