vale professionals scammed me, would not let me look them up palm coast, Florida
This company is registered to a mailbox drop in Georgia, but based out of Florida. One of the phone numbers they use has a Daytona Beach/Palm Coast, Florida area code. Go to the BBB and put in Vale Professionals LLC, and you will see that the Pres/CEO is Devin Kolb. Go to sunbiz.org and put this name in search under Officers/Registered Agents, and you will see that Ms. Kolb just dissolved a company called ITL Marketing LLC on 9/24/10, listing an address in Palm Coast, Florida, and
another company called K.F.C. International LLC, also with the same Palm Coast, FL address. I know about this because a friend of mine paid them over $10k to have her timeshare deeded to a company in Wyoming, where I live, and I checked it out for her. The address is a mailbox drop, the company does not exist, not registered as any kind of business in the state, and they are not even listed at the mailbox drop.
This is one of those postcard/exit/guaranteed relief/title transfer scams that tell you they will transfer the deed to a corporation. Don't believe them. If they don't give you a bill of sale, and don't provide proof that the deed was transferred through the County Recorder of Deeds where your resort is located, then the transfer is invalid, the transaction is deemed fraudulent, and the deed reverts back to its previous owner. These people are smart enough to pay the maintenance
fees for the first year, and they even notify the resort of the transfer. The whole thing takes a year or two to unravel, and of course they are long gone with your money, you are still stuck with the timeshare, and now you are back on the hook for delinquent maintenance fees. This is the newest scam - registering in Georgia instead of Florida to make it seem more legitimate - NOT! Hold onto your timeshare and save your money for the maintenance fees - they can't even give these things away for free on CraigsList.

I have been scammed by 3 different companies while trying to get rid of my time shares. Got scammed twice by the same company. I am doing business with Vale and I had my lawyer check them out. He showed me your complaint and I was concerned. Then he showed me that this was originally posted over a year ago. So you simply copied and pasted this from somewhere else. The representative of Vale told me to try and match up these complaints to a resource that actually allows for mediation (this site does not by the way). Sure enough, there are no matching complaints from the BBB. If you have done research to the extent that I have, you would see that they have two addresses. One is a physical location in Palm Coast, FL and the other is listed as a mailing address. I am not sure as to why one is only a mailing address.
My lawyer found a few negative comments about this company, but he couldn't verify the validity for any of them.
I am working with them because they are allowing my lawyer to hold the funds for the cost of their service in an escrow account setup by MY lawyer and not to be given to Vale until they finish the job. I am sure if they are willing to do that for me they might be willing to do that for you.
I also talked with 11 previous clients of theirs. (they provided me with a list of over 50 references with phone numbers and email addresses...i had my lawyer verify those people as well...as you can tell I am very cautious and nervous). Each person I talked to had a satisfactory review after doing business with Vale.
If you are looking for a way out of your timeshares, you might want to try asking them to do the same thing for you.
If you are trying to sling mud, it is annoying for a highly concerned consumer to pay a lawyer more than he should have to because people are just copying and reposting comments that don't actually help someone in doing real research on a company.
I hope this helps anyone who is in the same position and doing research on this company...I will follow up on this post once they have completed the job for me
