By using the terms "good news" and "accepting your timeshares" I believe that they are attempting to mislead the consumer by implying that they have "qualified the properties" as described on their web site. Also, I noticed that Kerry Gutierrez, et. al., are associated with not only this company, but others conducting the same business and using the same practices (see Timeshare Relief Inc. and others). All of the businesses involved in conducting the timeshare transfer just happen to be controlled by the same people.

I just checked with my timeshare and it costs 10% of the purchase price which is $1000.00 + next year's maintanence fees for 2011 which is $635.00 = $1635.00 minimum. My timeshare is at Avalon Grand Resort in Cancun, Mexico. So I checked out a bunch of transfer companies and VI Network (givebacktimeshare.com) IS accredited with the BBB. They also have various other websites, but are legitimate. They charged me $2500.00, are only charging me $865.00 for the fees/service.

I am writing on behalf of www.Givebacktimeshare.com . WWW.GIVEBACKTIMESHARE.COM provides its services free to any qualified property and qualified properties use its service every month. It appears that the person that wrote this false complaint was confused by the site's description of services. The site is written in English and this consumer is the first person to ever claim to be confused or mislead by the language in the site. The landing page at www.givebacktimeshare.com clearly states the following: Even if your resort does not qualify for the free service available, our consultants will provide you with the direction and solution that other companies cannot and will not provide free of charge, so please contact us now. The FAQ page at www.givebacktimeshare.com specifically states: What does it mean to qualify? We do not make any false promises or mislead you. We give it to you straight. The companies with whom we work have interest in certain properties and not others. In addition, they only work with companies like ours, not the general public, to acquire certain properties in bulk. If your unit meets their criteria (i.e. qualifies), we will pay all costs of transfer on your behalf and provide our service free of charge. The timeshare marketplace is rapidly changing, therefore the list of timeshares that we can inventory also changes frequently so you have to contact us now to avoid the possibility of paying yet another maintenance fee bill. Contact us to receive an honest evaluation of your property. Even if your resort does not qualify for the free service available, our consultants will provide you with the direction and solution that other companies cannot and will not provide free of charge, so please contact us nowthere is no obligation and our service is 100% guaranteed. It is unfortunate that the individual was unable to understand what was written or felt deceived despite ever paying us any money. We are happy to hear that she was able resolve her issue with her timeshare herself and would be happy to hear from her when her transfer is complete to confirm that she transferred it at no cost to her. What she indicates is that the resort will transfer to someone for $100that is called a transfer fee. The hard work is finding someone to take the liability and making sure you get it transferred correctly. And if she doesn't get it transferred timely, she is on the hook for another year of maintenance fees and taxes. However, despite her vexatious and unfounded claims, we know our services are not for everyone and we hope to hear she was successful and got everything complete without wasting more time and money. www.givebacktimeshare.com provides all the services it promises and deposits all moneys with it affiliated licensed, bonded and insured title company to provide that extra assurance to the consumer.
