Hi Robert,
I love your website and am so glad you are fighting for the ordinary people who are getting ripped off due to Westgate. We were brainwashed into getting a timeshare in 2004 and have not been able to get rid of it so far. I live in London and have only been once in 2008. Then Westgate tried to sell us another timeshare only this time I was 100% wiser and they really worked hard for their money and got nothing out of me. We now are using a timeshare company recommended by Westgate to give it away for nothing just to get out of the deal legally. We have paid money up front to 2 other timeshare organizations in the USA and one in the UK with no success at getting rid of it. The whole ordeal has completely put me off the USA. There are people here in the UK who are just going to stop paying their maintenance fees but will refuse to give Westgate their deeds back so they can't sell them on to some other fool. I worry about this as I am an honest person. I now trust no-one which is a shame as I look back now and realize what Westgate is - one big scam. Can you include people in the UK in your fight? I know other people who would gladly join your fight.
Regards
Audrey

The David Siegel, Westgate Resorts, Case Update, Robert Paisola
Mr. Paisola, I bought a Westgate Resorts Timeshare and now I am being screwed. Can you help me?
Yep! This is the first of a series of articles that will show you just what went on inside the David Siegel Westgate Resorts Semi-Empire. First, lets look at how all of your money that you worked so hard for has been spent....
THE MONEY TRAIL SPEAKS:
As of June 2010, David Siegel is being disgorged of his profits that he has made during his reign as the owner of Westgate Resorts. This is an article that was recently published in the national media.
"Time-share mogul Siegel's assets open to the public"
The auction house that's hawking $350 million worth of property owned by time-share mogul David Siegel is opening the properties for public inspection.
Carlton Exchange says it has organized open houses for the top assets in the portfolio, including several in Central Florida. Siegel has said the assets are extraneous to his core business of time-share development and management.
"We've already received offers," said Scott Stay, a Carlton senior vice president. "We're starting to see that the market is turning, buyers are out."

•Westgate River Ranch, a 1,700-acre dude ranch near the Kissimmee River in Polk County, Friday and April 30.
•The Ramada, April 27.
In addition to the hospitality assets, Siegel is selling multifamily properties, vacant land and office space. Indicative bids are due April 30. More information is available online.

Anderson Appraisal Services, The Trial for Fraud Begins in San Diego, California, Robert Paisola reports Live for WCM and Bloomberg Financial
On June 03, 2010, the case of Al Mustafa v Crane et al will commence in the Superior Court of California - County of San Diego against ANDERSON APPRAISAL SERVICES INC for fraud.
We attempted to contact the President of Anderson Appraisals, Kevin Allin, for comment on this case, however we did not receive a reply before our publication deadline.
We contacted the Plaintiff in this case, and spoke to Mr. Al Mustafa, who stated that " This case is about an appraisal company that was nothing but a criminal enterprise. They would stop at nothing to make money and thereby conducted their business in an illegal manner in order to continue to keep doing business, even though they knew that they were unable to fulfill the orders that they were receiving". Mustafa stated that principals of the company, Mark McDaniel, Richard McDaniel and Kevin Allin were all involved in what is known as a Criminal Conspiracy. (We will be posting the full court depositions on Credit In America for the media.
Mustafa further stated that the following individuals at Anderson Appraisal Services Inc knew that the appraisals that they were delivering to their clients were false and caused irreparable harm to thousands of California Residents.
The individuals involved are as follows:

Mustafa stated that he will stop at nothing, to ensure that ANDERSON APPRAISAL SERVICES INC is shut down in San Diego and surrounding areas where they provide services in California, and that the principals listed above are criminaly indicted by a federal grand jury.
Court records indicate that jury selection for this matter begins tomorrow.
We will be live on the scene in San Diego and will be posting all of the court documents on this matter. We will also bring you live comments from the United States Attorney in San Diego, who is also following this matter closely.
In conclusion Mustafa said, "How is it possible for one appraisal company with only two licensed appraisers to complete over 1400 appraisals in one month" *from Court Deposition
That is the question that the US ATTORNEY in California wants answered also, said Mustafa.
For our readers, this is the case information now on file regarding this matter.

This is now a CLASS ACTION CASE
DO NOT PAY THIS COMPANY A DIME
Download the Class Action Case Data
LOS ANGELES (CN) - A federal class action complaint accuses El Grupo Mayan Palace of bilking U.S. citizens of "hundreds of millions of dollars" in Mayan Resorts timeshares, using "high-pressure fraudulent sales tactics that are comparable to the worst tactics ever employed by used car salesmen in a Hollywood movie."
The complaint states that the "defendants earn hundreds of millions each year from such sales by systematically misrepresenting in sales presentations and documents the value of the timeshares they are selling. Defendants as part of their scheme also have misled Plaintiffs as to their rights under Mexican law."
Plaintiffs are represented by Boies Schiller & Flexner of Oakland.
Here are the defendants: Desarollo Marina Vallarta SA de CV, El Grupo Mayan Palace, Daniel Chavez Moran, Daniel Omar Chavez, Scott Erikson, Casey Jon Owens, Canamere Inc., Huffsmith-Kohrville Inc., Preferred Vacations Inc., Premium Travel Services Inc., Resort Solutions Inc., Seven Oceans US Inc., AZM Marketing LLC, Resort Quality Controls Inc., Resort Condominiums International LLC, and Resorts International Marketing Corp.
How to Cancel Your Contract with The Grupo Mayan Resorts :
Request for Cancellation of my Mayan Palace Regency Vacation Club Agreement CRAA Dated June 12, 2008
12/29/09
Membership Services
Desarrollo Marina Village
dba “Groupo Mayan”
PO Box 27701-464
Houston TX 77227
This is day 4 since we signed this contract. I am faxing this request because of timeliness and sending by mail the entire package to the directions as given on Section 12 of the Agreement.
We are hereby requesting cancellation of our Mayan Palace Regency Vacation Club Agreement CRAA 2311 since it was based on illegal sales practices and fraudulent information.
We arrived at my Mayan palace in the Riviera Maya on June 6, 2008 through a private Grand Mayan Rental. We attended a timeshare sales presentation on Wednesday June 11, 2008. We cancelled and signed a new contract on June 12,2008.
We have had wonderful experiences here at the Mayan Grand in Playa del Carmen. We explained to our Mayan Palace sales representative, Patricia Manzi that we would only agree to the 90 minute presentation for future travel. I, Rita Kronen, also explained I have Parkinsons disease and could not walk very far and tire easily as well as it would not be possible for me to travel for quite awhile as I am expecting DBS(direct brain stimulation )surgery in the next six months . WE AGREED TO 90 MINUTES ONLY!
She dismissed my concerns as a small detail and rolled right on with several lies (scam) promises
1. Lie owners guaranteed rental from the Mayan for $3400.00 a year so even if we didn’t use the property soon we could have it paid for by their rent back policy. This was offered for the first 5 years. This has proved to be wrong and nowhere in our paperwork..
2. Lie the property they brought to us was supposedly cheaper because someone had just traded it in. (a regular scam practice from your training manual.)
3. Lie our ninety minutes presentation went was well into six hours and I was shaking so bad, she brought me a blanket and a drink that I asked for. No sticking to original agreement. I said I needed to take medication now.!
4. Lie Never answered question on right of refusal. She said you will really want this and that won’t be an issue.
5. Lie two different associates, the second one was named Arturo, came and sweetened the deal by adding weeks (which I do not see in the contract) a free cruise with upgrades to a suite on any ship ( no record of) free golf (form says 50% discount) and a value trade in on our current timeshare in Los Cabos. And he lowered the price.
6. We asked if we could go outside and speak to each other but were followed out by sales person.
7. Lie no mention ever of cancellation policies. We did not feel well and asked to continue the next day and were given a firm no! Almost done, almost done.
We agreed to sign just to leave, by then I was in tears and they offered to walk me back to my room and the sales person offered to buy dinner to celebrate. We went back to our room shell shocked. This was now 3:00 p.m. At the room we were very upset. I called my broker, my mortgage lender and my doctor. All who said this is not a good idea for you at this time, both financially and especially for my health. With upcoming surgery, not a good time for stress or travel out of the country.
We went back to the sales office at 5:00 p.m. and waited to see Carlo Truzzolino. He did all the final papers originally and we waited over another hour to tell him we could not buy the vacation package. He told us to sleep on it, and see him at 9:00a.m. The next morning, he assured us it could all be worked out, “this is just a vacation, not life or death”.
The next morning we arrived at 8:30 a.m. and waited till almost 10:00 a.m. to meet with Mr. Truzzolino. Now the lies begin again!
8. Lie He told us there are no 5 day cancellation policies in Mexico and why didn’t I say I had Parkinsons the previous day.( which I had repeatedly.)ARTICLE 56 of Ley Federal de protectccion al Consumidor says we Have 5 business days not to include Saturday or Sunday.
9. lie. Then upon doing some research, I discovered on www.teimesharebeat.com/mex-fraud.htm that the cancellation rights can not be waived according to Mexican law. I was intentionally lied to, to make me believe I could not cancel this contract. He stated he wanted to help us but he was not allowed because we traded in property. We actually sold our Pueblo Bonito timeshare to the Mayan Palace and then were allowed to purchase the time share back for $1. The Mayan Palace could then take could take the loss on their taxes, and it would reduce of cost on my Mayan palace timeshare.
Because of this “Equity Exchange Agreement” we had to waive our right to any cancellation or cool down periods. I even said “why don’t I get the normal 3-5 days” Exchange Agreement” and using that agreement was not under the same rules. In section 12, General Provisions, of the Recitals page states we could cancel. Carlo Truzzolino told us that we waived our cancellation period.
10.lie He told us We could not cancel because their legal department would eat us alive and the Mexican PROFECO means well but rarely gets involved with tourist/timeshare problems. He assured us we would loose any legal actions and be out our legal fees as well as the cost of the vacation package.
Final offer of a new deal to HELP US OUT he lowered the price to $16,520.00 and changed the room to a one bedroom, then gave us back our timeshare in Los Cabos , two weeks at the Sea Garden and he says I am so sorry but this is best for us. He even offered to lend us the monies for 48 months at 8%. Told us no commissions would be paid, transfer fees, or taxes.
I am hereby requesting you to rescind our contract since it was based on illegal sales practices and fraudulent information: I was very ill those last 3 days of our vacation and even now feel physically ill from the pressure.
This item alone is reason to grant a cancellation of the agreement. This practice is illegal. I am also in contact with several other people that have been placed in the same or similar situations.
Patty also said that members were getting great rental prices out of Resorts Int’l Marketing which was on their list of referrals. I was asked to sell my next 5 years of Value Fair weeks back to my Mayan palace. (But now it seams odd that my contract does not mention selling the weeks back to my Mayan palace I was told that the two LA PLAYA weeks could be rented for $1700 each. Timeshare User group have these weeks listed for as little as $700 and you still need to pay maintenance, http://www.tug1.org/tugads/1-8dname2.html#ad26709
also:
Excerpt from RCI listing: A MAXIMUM OF TWO UNITS PER WEEK ALLOWED PER MEMBER ACCOUNT IN 4 YEARS *** NO CONSECUTIVE WEEKS ALLOWED*** 2ND UNIT MUST HAVE A GUEST CERTIFICATE *** CAN NOT CONFIRM SPACE TO MY MAYAN PALACE OR XXX XXXXXX MEMBERS **EXCEPTIONS TO THESE RULES CAN BE CANCELLED** ]RESORT ENFORCES ¼ YR RULE] were never mentioned.
My Mayan palace Resorts had a great reputation and I was very excited to make my first stay with you at the Riviera Maya resort. Your resort is beautiful and according to reviews, so are some of your other locations.
I am sure you are working on all of the recent complaints I have seen about your sales tactics, I know you have settled some of them, and I hope you can straiten out the remaining complaints very soon. But after the outright fraudulent lie about the cancellation period, other lies, half truths and omissions - your sales practices reflect on your entire chain as being “questionable” to put it mildly. Bottom line is you scammed my husband and myself with false promises, outright lies and took advance of me as I was very physically ill both days of trying to return this property and It will have long term repercussions on my health as Parkinsons deals with my nervous system.
I have copied and contacted every organization in your field and will recon tact them as soon as you do the right thing and resend this contract and return all monies deposited. The agreement CRAA 2311 is cancelled and send me verification of cancellation. Also credit the $5775.00 down payment as well as your release of our Pueblo Bonito timeshare. I will then return any original documents you so request. I will be sending this document through the mail and carbon copy the addresses below.
I feel it is my duty to tell you I have started a Dispute with my Visa card, and have started a claim with the California Attorney General Consumer Protection Agency who will be contacting you directly in the next few weeks.
I will also be filing a case with Profeco, Texas Attorney General, US Dept of Justice, and the Federal Trade Commission, RCI, Travelocity, Delta, ASTA, and a few others in the next few days.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I hope this unpleasant situation will be resolved ASAP.I look forward to a quick response.
Sincerely,
Ken and Rita K.

My daughter, Crystal, was visiting Mexico on 6/27/10 when she signed an agreement (#CRQT 2172) with Mayan Palace Regency Vacation Club for $19,564.00, which included a trade in of her existing Time Share with the Boardwalk Resort Hotel in Virginia Beach, VA. As per this agreement, the Value Calculation had an applied Trade In credit of $25,900. The timeshare that was traded in is owned by my daughter and her husband (Brian). Her husband was not present (he wasn't even in Mexico at the time) nor did he sign any paperwork. Later that evening, Crystal called her husband to tell him about the timeshare. Brian advised her to cancel the agreement as he was not going to trade in their existing timeshare. Crystal was told that she was "locked in" and the contract could not be cancelled. NO ONE mentioned Profeco or having 7 days to get out of a contract. Who knew that Mexico had a Consumer Protection Law? She has been trying since June 28, 2010 to get out of this contract. She on El Grupo Mayan Palace, Daniel Chavez Moran, bilks American citizens of "hundreds of millions of dollars, Class Action Status Robert Paisola reports
First let me say, I’m a long time user and owner of timeshares in Mexico. I own 3, at 3 different projects. I’ve attended many presentations. I must say for the most part we have found them to be informative. BUT, the Mayan Palace, Groupo Mayan, Mayan Regency or Grand Mayan, many aliases. Attended presentation in Mazatlan, Mexico. November 2007. at theMayan Sea Garden. Our salesman introduced himself as Mario Montalbo, from Texas. A very pleasant fellow. Very informative. We told him about our other timeshares. His opening price was $199,900. He guaranteed us the sale of resorts for the amount of $48,000. He clamed that Price Waterhouse would guarantee the yearly rental return of $10,000 annually. Mr. Montalbo introduced a Scottish fellow that assured us that both Gregg Norman and Jack Nicklaus were partners in this venture. We could feel safe investing because they (Nicklaus and Norman) were partners with Daniel Chavez owner of Grupo Mayan and Vicente Fox the ex-president of Mexico. The more names they dropped made my wife and I more suspicious. Making a long story shorter, we got away from there. Later we visited an Internet café. We looked up Mayan Palace, found many bad reports, about their selling practices. Also Mario Montalbo and his wife, who we also met, while on the presentation are both being sought by the State of Texas for consumer fraud. We found that Mr.Nicklaus is designing 2 courses. No references of other connection, such as rental or partnership in Mayans. Mr. Norman has projects in Mexico, however none with the Mayan Palace. They even have super sized photos of these golf icons in the salesroom. They must be breaking some laws! What is with these people? They have no regard for truth and fair business practices. Please be advised.
We got caught up the first day in Mazatlan by Mayen group Sea Garden. they signed us up with a credit card for 30,000 and want deeds to our other time shares plus we have a bill for many more thousands of dollars. They said they were not a time share but a deeded property owned for life, this was a lie as well as many more.
Any advise on how to get out of this scam...............They pushed the Golf icons on us as well.
