Bluegreen Resorts The Fountains--Orlando Bluegreen Sales People Take Advantage of Customers, especially older folks, by Blatantly Lying and Misrepresenting the Payments to be made. Orlando, Florida
My husband and I took some of our children, grandchildren, nieces and friends to The Fountains in Orlando last December. While the accommodations were good and we enjoyed our stay for the most part, the part we did not enjoy was the 5 hour long sales pitch. We have owned timeshares for quite a while and have been taken advantage of on several occasions by less than honest sales people; however, this time, as we figured everything out eventually, really is unbelievable!
We were already making two payments to Bluegreen and I told them we really could not afford any more payments. The salesman told me that those two payments could be "absorbed" into the new payments and those payments would be over a longer period of time but they would actually be less than what we were currently paying.
Because my husband has many health issues (which we explained) we wanted to reduce our monthly outlay and this promise sounded good even if iit would be for a longer time. Well, needless to say, they blatantly lied about the money we would be required to pay each month and now instead of two payments, we have the two we started out with (they did not "absorb" them) and 4 (four) more in the form of credit cards, plus a payment to Quorum Federal Credit Union.
My husband's health has continued to decline and we are slammed with all sorts of medical bills. He has always handled our reservations and the payments and he is unable to do that anymore so, in addition to the difficulties related to the medical situation, I am now facing this enormous timeshare bill that I will be paying on for years. More than likely, we will not be able use our timeshares........talk about a money pit!!!!!!
