Folks,
I had the same problems with Coral Resorts. However, I have good news. I worked w/ the SC Attorney General's office and the South Carolina Real Estate Commission to open a formal complaint. After a number of months of research and review, the SCREC contacted Coral Resorts and they agreed to offer us a full and complete refund of both the TimeShare purchase price and our Maintenance fees that we had paid. Based on this refund, and the dissolution of our contract, we are fully satisfied w/ the resolution that Coral Resorts has provided us.
Thanks,
mrjlturner

I have a similar story, but was taken while on vacation in Hilton Head. I can tell you that the SC Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (Office of Investigation and Enforcement) has secured a lawyer and is currently investigating these sales practices and customer complaints thoroughly. I spoke with their office today and am currently building my formal complaint to submit. I would encourage you to visit their website and do the same! They can be reached at
(803)896-4470
Thanks!

Your story sounds all too familiar. My husband and I fell for almost the same thing. Our incentive was something different but for the same reason. We purchased the timeshare almost 6 years ago and have never used it. We too were shown the Island Links condos and were told of many great things we would be getting. Well when it came time to book our vacation, guess what, they had no vacancies, plus they needed more money. So we went back to Hilton Head in May of 2010 and we were told that the package we purchased was a bronze package and was only available in Dec. Jan, and Feb. Well who wants to go to the beach in the winter? So they told us we could upgrade to a plantinum package which was good all year
round with no money out of pocket and we would just continue to pay our payments but have a better package. After about a month I called to again book our vacation and there were all these fees we needed to pay and they also had nothing to offer in the areas we wanted to go.
So I have been on the phone countless times trying to get someone to talk to me and just like you I leave message after message and get no return phone calls. So we are basically paying money to someone for a condo that we have never used and doesn't look like we will ever be able to use. I am in the process of filing complaints with several people including the South Carolina Department of Labor, I'm not sure if I wll get anywhere but we can't afford to keep handing out money for nothing. Our last resort would be to just stop paying the fees but then you have a bad credit report. There is is so much more that I dont have room to type it. We need help from anyone that can give it to us. We just want OUT!!

This is almost identical to what happened my husband & Iin Dec. '09. We haven't been able to use the worthless points they promised and now we were hit up with the astronomical maintenance fees. I am consideringa trip to Hilton Head, as I am thinking I need a local lawyer who has had dealings with them. If you have suggestions or advice, please let me know.
