TEL +52-1-656-168-6537 U.S. 915-485-7459
Timeshares offer a convenient way to have a place to stay for a few days a year in a favorite vacation spot, however, there are some things to look out for before making a buying decision. Just as in any buying decision, it is good to make sure that the timeshare is being offered by a reputable, ethical, and financially secure company. A thorough investigation and due diligence are keys to assure that dubious representations by practiced salespersons are rooted out. Most fraudulent timeshare companies have a bad reputation and have left behind angry victims that have attempted to recuperate their payments from these companies in different ways.

Oftentimes, a timeshare client will attempt to cancel their contract once they discover that the sales agents will not make good on any of the many promises that they made during the sales process. To increase the likelihood of a good and fast result, a client should immediately consult with an experienced Mexican attorney before the sales agents have an opportunity to use any number of delay tactics, new fictitious side agreements, and the ability to squander the funds given to them in payment. Some of the strategies that are typically used may be as simple as a few well made phone calls and letter from the attorney or through the filing of effective complaints and a lawsuit against the company in the right court with the right legal theories. Recoveries for an amount above the initial payment amount and attorneys fees are a definite possibility.

Many clients who run into a problem like this may already have several timeshare contracts with reputable companies who do make good on their promises and that they are very pleased with. These clients also understand that a purchase of a timeshare can turn out to be a bad contract that requires legal action to recuperate their investment. Timeshare sales presentations are tailor made to thwart the scrutiny of even the most qualified accountants, attorneys and other intelligent professionals. Very often the paperwork is crafted by some of the best firms. This is why a client who is affected should similarly have an effective, professional attorney who is specialized in this area of practice in order to gain the best result.
