Marianne W. Was Lied To About Her Timeshare’s Mobility

Written by: Chuck McDowell Updated: Apr 29, 2023 Published: Apr 22, 2021 3 minute read

After a long career in secondary education, Marianne was hopeful to spend her retirement travelling the world. But when she was duped into a timeshare she quickly found out that availability was a recurring problem. 

Below is a word for word account of the timeshare ordeal that Marianne experienced. We hope her written account will enlighten you to some of the tactics that the timeshare industry often uses on good, unsuspecting people. Names of people have been changed and/or redacted for privacy reasons.

“In my sales meeting they kept telling me it was not a timeshare. I was told I could pass it down to my heirs. For signing and upgrading I earned 60,000 bonus points and an additional 7,000 points per year. They said I could use my points to go anywhere I wanted and that I could even use my points to help pay my maintenance fees. However, they failed to tell me that when I used the “bonus” points up I couldn’t use the yearly points for my fees.”

Marianne was made to believe her points could help pay for multiple assets within her timeshare, but when it came down to it she was always led in another direction. Wanting to travel with her extended family, Marianne tried to transfer points to another resort but was met with no such luck. 

“They made me believe if I wanted to go somewhere else I could do that. I wasn’t told I would have to pay points or fees to be able to do that. Then someone called me and offered me a four-day trip for four people in Orlando, Florida for $199. By now I have limited mobility, and then I began to realize I was getting manipulated to go on this trip just so that they could try and sell me on more points or timeshares.”

One night when surfing the web, Marianne came across an advertisement for Wesley Financial Group, LLC (WFG). Chuck McDowell’s story piqued her interest.

“Chuck was talking about how he went up against a huge timeshare company and won!! Well that was all I needed to hear. He was such an honest and down to earth guy. I sent an email late one night, and in the morning I was contacted by someone who talked with me more about WFG and got me started on this journey to financial freedom from this so-called vacation.”

We are pleased to inform you that after Marianne got in touch with the team at WFG, we were able to terminate her timeshare agreement and relieve her of over $30,000 in timeshare mortgage debt.*

“My experience with WFG has been remarkable. Summer Slaughter was my resolution specialist and she was awesome! She did everything she said she would do, like touching base as much as she could. She explained things that might occur. The process was more than I expected. Everybody I had contact with at WFG went above and beyond the call of duty. The intake department was very helpful. They were all so easy to work with and very prompt and helpful on this last leg of the journey.”
