I was invited to a meeting by these people who misrepresented themselves.  I was told they were from Vacation Village and would explain to me how to cancel my timeshares.

Instead I ended up with a new timeshare without knowing it and was asked to pay $11,000 to get rid of my prior timeshares wnen they were actually selling me a new one.  They said that with the $11,000 they would be able to get me out of my prior timeshares, yet I later found out I needed to pay even more money and had to conduct time consuming research for them, which I expected the $11,000 to be plenty sufficient for and was the agreement.  I was also told that I had to pay $550 of fees and would get points to use for vacations, but that I could use to pay for the $550, so I went along with it, because I was going to get rid of the timeshares.  It turns out the points could not be applied to the $550.

I had to sign the agreement without having time to read it, and anyhow it was so unclear that it was only once I receive a warranty deed in the mail and the maintenance fee invoices that I realized what had happened.

"I had to sign the agreement without having time to read it..."  No, you did not.  It's easy to see how you got stuck with a time share in the first place.  You need to grow up and stop letting yourself be manipulated like that.

Nobody held a gun to your head.  Nobody made you sign.  Nobody keeps making you turn over thousands of dollars to scammers.  Learn your lesson already.

Maybe don't sign contracts until you read them next time?  Better yet, take the contract home and have a couple of people look over it before plonking down $11k on something.  If someone is pressuring you into signing something right away, that's a really good indication that  you are about to be ripped off.  Put the pen away, and walk out of the building.
