Monterey Financial Services Dishonest Billing ripoff for Mexican Timeshare Companies Oceanside California
After a Mexican-based timeshare company didn't fulfill the terms of a contract and we notified the company of our cancellation of the contract, they turned over the contract to Monterey Financial Services for collection. Although Monterey has been provided proof of the cancellation, they don't seem to care about the terms of the contract or the cancellation. I have a Mexican lawyer working on fraud charges against the Mexican Time Share company (CIAMSA or Premier Holiday Travel), while I have a US lawyer taking care of Monterey. So far Monterey has only been a pest, not reporting anything negative about our credit.
If others are similarly impacted by these guys, please send me an EMAIL and let me know. Maybe enough people with similar problems would lead to a class action law suit or something.

Monterey Violates Fair Credit Reporting Act

Despite being unable to provide proof of debt, and being notified as such in writing, Monterey started to report the fictious debt as being a collection account. They reported it under the name of their client, PREMIER HOLIDAY TRAVEL, but the reporting agency indicates they are the reporting subscriber.
In any event, since this is a violation of the law I have asked my US lawyer to take action and assuming they have a valid contract with Premier Holiday Travel, have asked my Mexican lawyer to take action in Mexico. Apparently in Mexico you go to prison for this and can't hide behind a corporate entity. Too bad that doesn't happen in the US.
