During A Timeshare Sales Presentation Herman S. Was ‘Reeled In Like A Fish’

Now a retired businessman, Herman has grown a new hobby in his twilight years - travelling.  But when he and his wife were approached about a timeshare while on vacation, all of their dreams subsided. 

The following includes a first hand account of the timeshare experience that Herman and his wife were put through. We hope their story helps surface a few of the manipulative tactics that the timeshare industry uses on trusting customers. Names of people have been changed and/or redacted for privacy reasons.

“I consider myself fairly smart, however, when we went to the presentation we were reeled in like a fish on the line. Basically, they lied to us. They promised we could go anywhere that the company had a property, but they didn't tell us we didn't have enough points to go to some of them. They never told us that the maintenance fees would go up every year. When they found out we were not interested, they used the ploy that if we bought today we would get a special deal. One salesman said he would show us how to buy more points and that we could use some of our points to pay for our maintenance fees. But when we called him, he was no longer with the company.”

When he looks back on the numerous sales meetings he had before buying a timeshare, Herman remembers what an idealistic situation the sales staff created in his head. 

“They painted a picture of wonderful vacations every year basically at ‘no cost’. They never said our fees would go up. They also said we could get points for cruises, but they never told us how many points a cruise would cost. It was unbelievable.”

Herman spent two years looking for a way out of his timeshare before he heard a radio advertisement for Wesley Financial Group, LLC (WFG). When it came time to make a decision, he chose WFG because he was confident in the process and money-back guarantee. 

“I wanted a company that had experience in cancelling timeshares and didn’t make any promises they couldn’t keep. Once I checked in with Wesley Financial Group, I didn’t bother with any other companies. It was great. They did everything they said they would.

Our team is pleased to announce that after Herman and his wife reached out to us our staff was able to completely terminate his timeshare agreement. We are also elated to inform you that Herman has been relieved of over $70,000 in timeshare mortgage debt.*

“The people (at WFG) are the best part. As all successful companies know, their employees are their best asset. We are so grateful for everyone that helped us get out of this mess. We are so excited to start travelling again now that we’re free of this burden.”
