Consolidated Resorts Screws Paying Clients on Mini Vacation - Circus Circus told to "Turn them Away" Robert Paisola

Attention Worldwide Media:

Consolidated Resorts Pre Plans Bankruptcy in violation of Federal Law. The Federal Bankruptcy Case will most likely will be filed in the State of Nevada, to be filed in the next 72 hours. The filing will be on PACER and we will provide you with the filing.

We are in the middle of a DEEP investigation that has absolutely verified Criminal Conduct on the part of Arthur Spector and his associates.

Last night all of the paying clients that flew into Las Vegas expecting to receive pre paid accommodations at The Tropicana Hotel and Circus Circus were TURNED AWAY at the specific instructions of Consolidated Resorts Vice President James MONDOYUDIAS (sp)

Here is what the front desk was provided and told to tell the guests:



We will be providing updated coverage on this as well as all of the names of the guests who were turned away from The Tropicana Hotel and Circus Circus. Oh... You can go to Summer Bay Resorts if you want to pay another fee.

Hey Mike Rounds... Why did you tell these guests that they could not stay at your properties?

You will not believe this story.

God Help this company!

Here is the INTERNAL MEMORANDUM from Tropicana instructing their personnel to turn away all guests:



WE WILL POST ALL OF THE NAMES OF THE VICTIMS SOON.

Between bong hits management was struggling to let the company bleed out, not too fast...but, not too slowly either. Got to blow it out, but not while they can make us buy it back. Watch who comes along and takes this pig out of bankruptcy. Those punks at GS got it broken off in their AS...NY!

Crimestoppers and all those other numbers are useless, Metro would rather cut parking tickets and harass the homeless than tackle real crimes.

Oh Really! YOUSUCK wrote on June 27, 2009 05:37 PM: HAHAHAHHAHAHA

I LOVE this. I knew a woman who worked there as a phone sales rep and then became a supervisor and was pulling down over $90K a year as a drug addicted idiot. The fun HAD to end sooner or later. I was watching truly astounded as person after person brought home paychecks in the thousands per week and knew that this was a sick immoral activity, just like all the banks and homebuilders.

Capatilism left untamed will eat its' own young!

And to the poor slob who posted below that he loves his timeshare...
Man, YOU are how all those people made all that cash because you swallowed that hook so deep it's STILL in you, jesus are you an idiot!

John wrote on June 27, 2009 05:29 PM: And to top it off the RJ buries a story that is HUGE. The single largest layoff by any one business in Nevada history! over 2000 people lost theirs jobs last week at this Goldman Sachs company!!!!!

John wrote on June 27, 2009 05:27 PM: Why is the RJ so lame? They did not even mention that this compnay, Consolidated Resorts, is owned by Goldman Sachs.
Yep, that's right, the US governement is helping to rip off taxpayers by selling them timeshares.

I contacted the legal counsel for Consolidated last year and told them of several mangers who were not only doing drugs at work but running a grow house out of one managers house and selling to the employees in the call center!
Did they do anything? No.
I calledsecret witness at Metro and did the same thing. Did anything happen? No!

The company was another example of how several guys got together made a butload of cash by selling to Goldman Sachs and then just dissapearing.

It is an eveil company run by idiots.

Charell Williams. wrote on June 26, 2009 10:15 PM: My name is Charell. I've worked in timeshare sales since 2001. Before timeshare, I worked for Xerox in marketing. I was working out of EPCOT in Orlando while employed by Xerox. I attended ERAU Aeronautical University. I bring this up cause timeshare sales reps have many different backgrounds, each one interesting. Fortunately Xerox was the foundation of my Professional life and this in my opinion greatly contributed to my success in timeshare as the industry has an extremely high turnover rate. What I observed in this industry is the intentional mistreatment of it's independent contractors such as myself. I decided to fight back. The timeshare industry has many very talented people and they/we are being exploited. When one wants to leave the industry, it's very hard to find employment cause timeshare sales develops what type of skills besides closing? None. If we can get the interview, we can close the job. However, this is not attractive to potential employers unless it's a sales position. Also, as a result of the economy, many timeshare reps were fired, laid off, etc. As a timeshare sales agent, we are documented as independent contractors so the company can save money along with many other benefits for not having sales employees. Thus, we don't qualify for unemployment benefits. How are we to live in transition. I have written the labor dept, the White House, to bring this crisis to the attention of the World. I had to get two part time jobs after timeshare and was laid off from those jobs and I was awarded 50 dollars a week for unemployment benefits, and since that has run out. I am not the worst case.

Former V.P. wrote on June 26, 2009 06:06 AM: As a former Vice President I saw firsthand how salesmen would convince someone to spend $20,000+ on a timeshare in a little over an hour. I was amazed at each sale. However, I don't think all timeshare owners are dummies. Many made an investment in taking future vacations with their families. If it forced them to take a vacation with their family because they bought a timeshare then what they spent on the timeshare was well worth it.

As for Consolidated, the top management was lacking in understanding running a multi-million dollar enterprise. They ran it seat of the pants - by gut and what they thought they could get away with. Yes, they weren't the most ethical group and caused me to lapse from my good judgment once in a while. That's why I finally left after several years. The foul mouthed beratings that were an almost daily occurrence were just too much. Congratulations Mr. Spector!

Consolidated sucks wrote on June 26, 2009 02:18 AM: One of the reasons why Consolidated was in so much trouble was because it was managed by idiots. Managers were put into positions because they were supplying other managers with drugs and sexual favors. Even though a background check / drug test was required for employment, it was never enforced because no one would have passed it. Oh yeah, and our sales pitch and offers were mostly deceptive, if we didn't lie, we would have been fired.


Hit the Fan... wrote on June 25, 2009 03:57 PM: When they say the Sh*t hit the fan, well it did in my timeshare... The roof collapsed and the pipe broke and all the sewage was spread throughout my timeshare by my fan which continued to work. Must be an omen to the bad times to come for the timeshare business...

We all think we are so great and better than the animals around us. Maybe some people, a small minority, have reached another level. The vast majority of us are hyenas and jackals biting at the heels of others and tearing at the flesh of the less fortunate.

America is Darwin's ultimate proof.

I loved Timeshare wrote on June 25, 2009 01:56 PM: you want someone to blame? Blame MARIA CALBER!! She had to be greedy and take every location on the strip... paying rent money to booths that were there primarily to babysit. Thanks Maria. It's not the concept of timeshare that is a scam and it's not the product. It's people who work their way up the ladder by sleeping with people... Are you surprised that a former maid put a multi million dollar company under? I Just wish we all weren't so brain washed thinking that they really cared about us. Good luck everyone. At least we are all out of our non-competes!!

Ralph wrote on June 25, 2009 12:30 PM: To all you ninnies. I'm quite sure I could sell timeshares and be very successful at it if I wanted. But I couldn't go home and sleep at night. That's the problem. I'm not anti-gambling either but gambling isn't being sold as a "good deal", people KNOW they could win or lose. These timeshare salesmen are bottom of the barrel crooks and most of them would steal money from their own mother. Unlike most sales jobs, IT IS NOT AN HONORABLE PROFESSION. Most timeshares are sold to minorities and poor people who can't afford them. Look up the demographics for yourself or if you like just go hang out at the timeshare pool and snd watch the fish swim by with their timeshare salesman escorts. I lived at a timeshare (business trip) for over a month and observed all their dirty little tricks and who their clientele was. It was an eye opener.

ralph wrote on June 25, 2009 12:22 PM: Owner. If you bought a timeshare you are not a very smart person. SORRY. Over 30% of your purchase price went str8 into the salesmans pocket and his bosses pocket. Did you finance your purchase? What rate are you paying? You could have rented a suite at the Bellagio every time you came to Vegas for what you paid, and had room service to boot. Timeshares are NOT a good deal and I can prove it. Now that there is no appreciation in R/E and the market has tanked, they are even more of a rip-off. Did they use a green pen (the go sign!) when they closed your deal? Here's your test. Ask all the timeshare salesmen how many timeshare units they personally own. It's ZERO. Sure, it's a nice place, sure it's a nice room. Sure there are some tax benefits. But overall, you got HOODWINKED. Period. Maybe you could at the time, but in general, most of the people who buy T/S can't afford them to begin with, and that's a Fact Jack.


Owner wrote on June 24, 2009 10:53 PM: Well, I am an owner and consider myself to be very smart and literate, to those rude comments made by people that obviously are not successful in the business and probably cant afford a timeshare themselves. I love my timeshare and am very sad to see this happen. I also enjoyed the workers there, and sorry to see them go thru this. I myself was laid of in January, unexpectedly, so I know it really sucks! I hope things get better soon!

Cesar19 wrote on June 24, 2009 07:24 PM: For the people with their disrespectful comments and doubt. I am a consolidated employee(or was) and I got a call today to go get my last paycheck tomorrow. Definetely very happy about, have a lot of respect for the company that goes out of their ways to do things right.

mauimrs wrote on June 24, 2009 06:42 PM: Well I can tell you we here on Maui would love to see Consolidated gone we will miss some of the employees we have befriended, but the management company itself is a huge ripoff and a bunch of crooks.

An Outsider wrote on June 24, 2009 05:48 PM: I think some of the comments here are a bit dogmatic. I don't know much about Consolidated or their timeshare operation, however, look around you . . . there are companies having problems left and right. Yes, big ones. Wasn't City Center a heartbeat away from BK not too long ago? GM filed. Yes, all big companies, but those companies fed thousands of people for years . . . Consolidated did the same thing - put people to work and I am sure paid many of them well. Their last check may be in jeopardy, but not too much different than anywhere else it's happening.

As far as what they sell, the timeshare industry is as big as it is because there is a desire for the product . . . Most of us who live in Las Vegas live here for one reason - because there are people that come to Vegas for the DESIRE to gamble or see a show. If that desire didn't exist, we wouldn't be here. If gambling went away, most of the jobs in this city would fade away pretty fast.

Don't be so quick to judge.

These guys know excactly that they are taking advantage of people like that. It's legal and that's cool. But that doesn't make it right. So I'm glad they are getting their just desserts. It's a Karma thing man.

Not Happy Former Employee wrote on June 24, 2009 11:00 AM: It is really sad that CRI basically locked us out of work on Tuesday. We are worried that our last checks will even be honored. It is funny how the 1,000 or so employees that are now out of jobs dont matter to a company that claimed to be time share done right. I wonder how many people in the Corp office that decided to let all of us go actually got to keep their jobs. I bet I can name a few...What a shame.

ralph wrote on June 24, 2009 09:47 AM: It's about time these criminals went out of business. Timeshare salesmen and their ilk are nothing more than modern day snake oil salesman taking advantage of the weak-minded and uneducated people they lure into their cesspool.

Most people who buy timeshares can't even afford to make the payments after a few months of paying on their 21% interest loans. But hey, they will always cherish the cheap champagne limo ride back to the Excalibur after they got bent over at the "resort", while the smart people go back to the hotel on that overheated bus.

These people are sickening and I hope they all go bankrupt.

OH! Really? wrote on June 24, 2009 08:07 AM: They are going bankrupt because of the money markets?

Oh! Really?

Goldman-Sachs paid big money for controlling interest two years ago when things were going great.. It was their intention to package them with another timeshare company and sell the new group off to make money. That’s what Goldman does.

Then, the depression hit.

The previous owner started getting many units back due to foreclosure at Tahiti Village, Tahiti, and, Club de Soleil. He decided to have his henchmen in charge at Tahiti Village start selling his inventory, instead of Goldman’s.

Not a good thing for Goldman.

Since Goldman a written down the value of the business, it was easy to just shut down things since their “trusted” people in charge were ripping them off. Goldman will probably sell off the balance of the resort to a company to finish the sales.

Of course, all the employees will lose thousands in money that was owed them. Goldman will save millions. Yes, it is a very large number.

The people in charge are such wonderful people! They are all walking away wealthy.

Wrongful death suit filed in beating at Tahiti Village Consolidated Resorts

Relatives of a man fatally beaten during a 2007 robbery at a Las Vegas timeshare resort have filed a wrongful death suit against the resort, alleging the business failed to employ adequate security measures.

The suit was filed last week in Clark County District Court by relatives including Lydia Nieva, the wife of the victim.

The lawsuit said Angel Nieva and his wife were visiting Las Vegas when they were attacked by unknown assailants at the Tahiti Village Vacation Club, 5101 W. Tropicana Ave. The couple was visiting from La Mirada, Calif., the suit said.

Angel Nieva, 62, and Lydia Nieva, 63 at the time, were severely beaten and robbed by multiple young attackers on May 29, 2007, Metro Police said at the time. Angel Nieva, who along with his wife was transported to University Medical Center, died of his injuries.

"There had been other similar assaults in the recent past on the premises of the Tahiti Village Vacation Club and ... defendants knew that the security provided was insufficient to protect against these assaults and they failed to warn decedent and his wife of those assaults and they also failed to rectify or amend their security practices and procedures in light of these previous assaults," the suit charged.

The suit seeks unspecified special and punitive damages. Consolidated Resorts Inc. of Las Vegas, owner of the resort, which it calls Tahiti, does not comment on pending litigation.

Three men have been arrested in the attack, Metro said Monday.

The Wyndham Resorts Cypress Palms in Ruined My Vacation, Posted by Robert Paisola

Wyndham Resorts makes it look so so good when you go for their tour, well actually, when we went for our tour in Gatlinburg Tennessee they said the "main" resort was full so they put us up in their "second line" resort, stuffed us on the bottom level in the back corner. (I called it "The Dungeon")




I have to blog on this... finally... after months of frustration, forgetting about it, and hoping for a better vacation next year. Every year, thousands of people from Asheville & Western North Carolina vacation at Wyndham Resorts and have good and bad experiences. Ask Asheville went to Cypress Palms this past summer, and spent most of the time trying to get comfortable in the place. The internet, that you had to pay additional for, would work for several minutes, click off, and we would spend another 30 minutes trying to reconnect. The staff said they were having problems, but other people at the resort said it has always been bad.

One of the things that amazed me is that when we brought anything to their attention, they quickly bragged on the "other two" places in and around Orlando. One was only 5 minutes away, but you could not use the amenities that they had. So our overall rating of Wyndham's Cypress Palms is a 5 on a scale of 1 - 10. Of course simple little things could be done like getting new sheets that could actually fit the beds, or using new microwaves that work instead of the leftovers from the "better" resorts. We were evaluating 3 condo suites in which us or our friends occupied, so we did not unfairly judge by only using one.

Here are some other items:

1. No sheets for pullout couches, 2. Ceiling fan lighting old and inadequate, 3. DVD player not working in one room, 4. Stove burner problems in 2 out of 3 rooms, 5. Had to call front desk at least 3 times to make something happen, 6. Doors into other suites to the side were unlocked in 2 of the 3 rooms, 7. Showers did not have any grips so child fell pretty hard 3 times, 8. Lobby, elevators, and reception personnel were great, especially Beverly.

Consolidated Resorts- Tahiti Village Does it Again! Another VIP Client Gets Screwed! by Robert Paisola

Consolidated Resorts Does it Again! Another VIP Client Gets Screwed! Consolidated Resorts Attorney, Randy Richards, Responds! Attorney Lara E. Smith v Attorney Randy Richards!

VIP CLIENT FRED AND CONNIE ROSE OF FAYETTEVILLE GEORGIA TELL THEIR STORY TO ROBERT PAISOLA OF CNN I REPORT AND WESTERN CAPITAL

Dear Robert Paisola, CEO, Western Capital

Two years ago, 2006 my wife and I bought a timeshare from Consolidated Resorts in Las Vegas NV in their Phase 2. It was their deluxe unit, the Royal Tahitian 1 week yearly floating for $43000. We knew from the beginning that buying a timeshare was not a good investment. What my family and I was looking for was a good Relaxing Vacation property that we could use and enjoy. I work many hours and if I had a property to use, it would force me to take more vacations. Then in the years that we did not want to go to Vegas, we could exchange it in an area that we would like to go. That was the plan but now we find it just a pipe dream.

As part of our purchase they gave my wife and I the usual hardcore sales. They tell you that the whole process should only take 30 minutes; maybe a couple of hour’s if you buy. We ended up being there well over 5 hours and by the 5 hour we were hurray signing the paper work to get out of there. The Sales staff falsely promised that we could split up our unit into 2 units, rent one and use the other or just use it 2 weeks out of the year. We could also split our weeks up 4 and 3 days if we choose. This was confirmed with the sales manager. They stated that we could get the rooms for $77 dollars a night if we use all our time or if we wanted a weekend getaway. This was a selling point for me because I was scheduled to go to Nevada on business. Plus they intentionally mislead us by telling us that we could refinance it because it was a deeded property. They ALSO gave us 6 free vacations which we have found out to be totally worthless. They give you 40 destinations to choose from, but when you try registering, they mail you a letter saying, 'we will contact you 30 days before your trip to let you know if it is available. ‘HOW CAN YOU PLAN A TRIP THAT WAY?? When you call, they refuse to speak to you before your time to hear from them. I read that these trips end up costing you a $1000, but I would not know because, NO ONE WILL SPEAK TO ME!!

We purchase the floating and the more expensive unit thinking that it would give us a higher rating to get the weeks and days that we want. When we purchased the property in Phase 2 we were told that we could start using our time immediately in Phase One. Since then we have not been able to use it once. Every week we have chosen, has not been available. We have also found out that if we can not get a date locked in, we can not exchange it for a location or rent it. Consolidated Resorts then came back and said we needed to pay “Additional Fees” and the Maintains fees for Phase 1 if we want to use it because our contract was for Phase 2. We paid all the fees only to be told that nothing was available. So now we have been paying maintains fees on a property that is not yet built and only to find out nothing was available. I tried to dispute this but finally gave in. Customer service is horrible. When I tried to call to complain, I was constantly transferred to someone who barely knows what is going on. This is easily the worst decision I have made in my life.

In August of 2007 we put the unit up for sale. After I put it on the market I started investigating Consolidated resorts and found out that selling it is not an option because there are so many of them for sale. I paid out over $800 dollar to other scammers that said they could sell it and all they did was to take my money. If Consolidated / Tahiti Resorts are such a GREAT place, why is the market FLOODED with their units for Sale.

April 2008 I decided to really start researching and get this property sold. My investigation uncovered that Consolidated Resorts was scamming people for lack of better words and issuing false deeds. I have now STOP all payment per my lawyer. Our lawyer wrote a letter to Consolidate terminating the contract for unfair Business practices and fraud, false Deeds. I want out of this contract with a full reimbursement of all funds paid and I also want to make sure my credit is not hurt over this.

Below I am going to list all the unfair practices, supporting testimony and false deed information.

Unfair or Illegal Business Practices.

1. Sales personal misrepresented property.
A. Deeded timeshare property can be refinanced as any other home or property. This was a total lie. I have contacted several lending companies and none would finance it. This was an important item because of the interest rate that we were being charged, 16%.
B. Time share could be rented out. This maybe true but if you can not reserve a week per the contract, how would you rent it out? After 2 years of ownership we have not been able to use it once or lock in a single week.
C. Split weeks into 3 or 4 day segments. The contract states that this could be done but when we called and requested it Consolidated said NO.
D. Split Time share into 2 units and use separately. One of the main reasons to purchase the larger unit was because it had a lock out and we were told that we could split it into 2 units and use it 2 weeks a year. When I requested this, I was told that this could not be done.
E. Phase 2 owners could use Phase 1 with no problems. This was not true. When I contacted them they told me we would have to pay the maintains fees and an additional fee to use phase 1. We did only to be told that nothing was available. So now we have been paying maintains fees for 2 years for a phase 1 that we can not use and phase 2 that is not even built yet.

F. Free trips. As part of the package were given six free trips. After receiving all the information a couple months later we learned that there was major restricts and we could not book more than 30 days in advance before your trip to let you know if it is available.' HOW CAN YOU PLANE A TRIP THAT WAY?? Plus you had to use their travel company for all additional items. If we wanted to book additional people, our 2 children the cost of the vacation would go to more than I could book the same vacation for all 4 would be. I was told that adding the kids would be minimal. Another example is they would give us free accommodations but we would have to book airfare through their agents, the airfare was double what other travel company wanted.

G. Phase 2 completion date. The contract states that it should be completed in September 2007. I have just received noticed that the Grand opening is in August 2008.

2. Sales personal used unethical business practices
A. Sales presentation misrepresented the product
B. Sales presentation misrepresented the service
C. Sales presentation used dishonest sales practices
D. Sales presentation not consistent with the written agreement
E. Sales presentation did not disclose key conditions of the offer

DEED – Fraud.


Consolidated Tahiti Village Resort is a DEEDED Timeshare. My contract with Consolidated clearly states that we purchased into Phase 2 Parcel number 177-04-401-010. This is also recorded at Clark County NV Recorder website. Instrument ID: 20060504-01804 and 20060504-01803. I do not fully understand why there are 2 deeds for me on this property, but if you look at them Soleil LV and my wife and I are reversed parties. On September 2, 2008 I contact Carroll at the Chicago Title company, (760) 746-9904 to investigate this issue. As of Sept 8, I have not heard anything back yet.

Here is the link.

http://recorder.co.clark.nv.us/extReal/Navigate.asp?CrossRefSearch.x=34&CrossRefSearch.y=11


If you look up that parcel on the Clark county Assessor’s page you will find that parcel number 177-04-401-010 is NOT part of the Phase 2 construction. According to the Clark County Assessor’s page Phase 2 is 17704414000. See link.

http://gisgate.co.clark.nv.us/openweb/asp/openweb.asp?getParcel=17704401010

http://www.accessclarkcounty.com/assr_maps/map177044.pdf

Looking at the above link it is quite clear that Consolidated Resorts is doing something questionable. And because of this item I feel that it is within my rights to terminate the contract and demand a full refund.

Requested amount refund


Deposit $ 4,399.00
Principle + interest
684.45 X 24 months. $16426.80
Maintains Fee’s
598 x 2 ½ years $ 1495.00

TOTAL $22320.80


Total purchase was for 43000. I still own roughly 35000.


Supporting information

When I purchased this timeshare I felt that I had paid too much but if it had given everything that it had promised I would have been ok with it. In the beginning when I tried to use the property I did not record or document the exact times and dates that I tried to make arrangements. So I can not supply that type of supporting documentation.

What I can supply is links to other people and sites that show Consolidated Resorts has a history of scamming people and deed issues. I have also started contacting other Owners and the stories are the same. I suspect that once other owners investigate their deeds they will find the similar kinds of issues.

Ripoff Report. Com - This Website shows other people with the same issues.

Conclusion

The basic fact is that this company used high pressure sales techniques and misrepresented the property. Then they issued questionable deeds. I have presented 16 people with very similar issues and I could find more given time.

Since I originally wrote this Consolidated Resort has responded back to my lawyer. They basically say that I have a contract and I need to pay them even if they have provided NO SERVICE per the contract.

We have now filed a complaint with the BBB and the FTC.

BBB sent this confirmation:
Your complaint has been received and routed to the following BBB: BBB of Southern Nevada, Inc. (Las Vegas, NV)
6040 S. Jones Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89118-2619
Phone: (702)320-4500
Fax: (702)320-4560
Email: scampbell@vegasbbb.org
Web: www.vegasbbb.org

Please contact the BBB directly if you have questions about your complaint.

FTC sent this confirmation:

Complaint Submitted

Thank you for contacting the FTC. Your complaint has been entered into Consumer Sentinel, a secure online database available to thousands of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies worldwide. Your reference number is:20144929

I have also found out WHY there are no dates open to owners, Consolidate has been renting out the resort. This is in direct violation with the contract. Case is described in more detail at this link.

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/337/RipOff0337493.htm

I feel that termination of this contract and a full refund of $22,320.80 are justifiable. I am also very concerned that this company will continue to ruin my credit and I want to know what action I can take against them to stop this.

Time line –

2006

May 01 - Flew to Las Vegas as part of a free trip. Not so free, paid to have upgrade hotel and had to pay for airline. Hotel ended up being Circus Circus, not much of an upgrade.

May 02 – Went to supposedly 1 hour Vacation Club presentation. Asked lots of questions and was told a lots of lies, see statement. Ended up being there over 6 hrs and missing lunch. We were starving and raced through the paperwork to get out of there.

May 08 – Last day of 5 day cancel period. Knew we paid too much but if everything we were told was true, then ok. No reason at this time to believe that we had been lied too.

August 01 - Went to Consolidated Reservation page to reserve a week in November 2006. Requested to split my Royal Tahitian and use the Bora Bora. I was told that even though we purchased phase 2 we could us phase 1 with no issues.

August 04 – received notice that I could not use property because I was a phase 2 not a phase 1 owner. I do not remember exactly but I think that I called and talked to a reservation person.

August 07 – I email them about my frustration about not being able to use the property.

August 09 – Received a email from Karen Leggett reservations, telling me again that I can not use the property because I was phase 2 not phase 1, She gave me a number to caller at.

August 10 or so – I do not remember the exact date that I called and spoke to her directly. She told me that if I paid the maintenance fees for phase 1 I could use it, $215.00.

August 18 – The maintenance fee was credit to my account.

August 19 or so – I called Karen back and requested my dates, this time she told me nothing was available in a Royal Tahitian and that I could not split my property. I had to use exactly the type of unit that I bought. This was not what I was told at the sells presentation.

October 1 – Consolidated billed me for the Maintenance fees again, $598.00. I contacted them and told them that I was told that the maintenance fees would be do on the Anniversary date, May 02 of each year, plus I asked why am I being billed for maintenance fees for a building that was not built. This issue went back and forth for till May of 2007. Basically I was told that I was paying the maintenance fees for phase 1 so that I can use it and that the sales man was wrong on the date that they were do.


2007 –

February 02 – Because of the issues I was having I decided to try to sell it. The sales presentation stated that this was a very popular site and I could sell it very easy for what I owed or more. I found a company on the internet and paid them $400 dollars to sell the property. The company is Timeshare Adventures, Don Moore. To make a long story short, it never sold. The internet company ripped me off. I have email traffic, to support this.

May 20 or so – Consolidated and I agreed that I would pay the maintenance fees on my anniversary date and that I do not have to pay the late fees. This was done through several emails and phone calls. I did not record these phone calls or keep these emails because I did not really think that it would come to this.

June - First phase 2 was still not completed yet. I contacted reservation to reserve a unit to swap on Interval. I was told that I could not use the property because I had a late payment showing. I explained that the late payment had been waived by the billing department. Again I was told that I could not use the property because of it and I had to provide the emails that showed they waived the payment. Since I did not have this information I paid the fee on 07/06/07. Only to be told NOTHING was available.

June – Since I was having trouble reserving a unit, I decided that I would try to use the 6 free vacations. What a joke. We contacted the company and were told that we could not combine them; they didn’t cover everything and so on and so on. Basically these trips proved to be totally useless.

October – I received a bill for the Maintenance. This totally frustrated me and I sent a letter to Consolidated about them charging me again in November when we had agreed that it would be in May and why was I paying for Maintenance fees for a property that is still under construction. Or why am I paying maintenance for phase 1 when I could never use it. So I did not pay it.

2008 –

January or so – getting letters and calls. They started to threaten my credit this time because of my job/career I can not have any negative things on my credit. So I paid them on January 31. Again they said they would waive the late fee but they did not. This was the last straw for me.

February 24 – Hired a second company, BML Marketing to sale time share because the first company had done nothing. I paid $400 and nothing. Rip OFF.

March – getting calls and letters about $29 dollar late fee. Started to research Consolidated found all kinds of information on Ripoffreports.com and Allexperts.com.
Found out about the deed issue. That’s when I said enough is enough.


May – Contacted Lawyer. Lawyer advised that we stop paying them any money till this issue is resolved. He then requested that I, send him a written detail statement for him to review and then he will send out a letter. The lawyer advised that I do not speak to Consolidated on the phone or in writing. Let him handle all of it. I usually prefer to handle issues myself. But based on my past experience with this company I felt that what ever I said or did they would say what they needed to, to keep me paying.

May – Started posting on Ripoffreport.com and Allexperts.com

June – Stop paying – cancel credit cards. Send written statement to lawyer.

August – Lawyer sends letter to Consolidated. The lawyer said he had to do some research and validate some of my claims. That is why he took so long to contact Consolidated.

August – first part of September – I was trying to purchase some foreclosures for Rental property. The plan was to buy 1 property for $60K that appraised for $115K. Refi the house and pull out $40K ASAP. I would then take that $40K to buy 2 more houses. That was the plan. The deal fell through because my Credit report showed a 60 day late payment on a MORTGAGE. This killed my financing. I was told that Consolidated could not put anything negative on my credit while I was disputing it under the Fair Credit reporting Act. I do not know if this is totally true or not. I disputed the charge with the Credit bureaus saying that 1. This is not a mortgage, it is a vacation club. 2. I am legal dispute with the company because they never provided any service for the money. The credit bureaus came back and said I had a contract and it is going to stand.

September 02, checked credit score and file dispute.

September 03 – Because of the Credit issue, I started to search out other people to help. I found the “Owners Advocate” and hired them to help with this issue, $1000. So far I can not see anything positive coming out of the “Owners Advocate”. I have sent them all the same documents that I am sending you.

September 05 – Found the Carl Hardin, the Chief Operating Officer of Consolidated Resorts Email. Sent him an email stating how unhappy I was with his company.

September 06 – Mr. Hardin emailed me back and said he would get back to me by the following Tuesday or Wednesday. I never heard anything back.

September 08 – Received first letter from my attorney, Consolidated sent August 22. Basically states that they have a right to take us to court and sue us for all the cost.

September 09 – I filled a complaint with the BBB and the FTC.

September 14 – Sent Mr. Hardin an email following up. No response.

September 18 received letter from BBB and September 23 from Consolidated. I discussed the letters with the lawyer and basically my lawyer told me that unless I have more people or exact dates that I was denied service do to Consolidate renting out the units, there was not much else they could do.

September 21 – Sent Mr. Hardin another email following up. No response.

October – My lawyer did review the response letter that I wrote for the BBB. I sent it in on the October 19 and have not heard anything else from the BBB.

October 09 – Got a foreclosure letter from Consolidated. Faxed my response back to Consolidated and contact you. Consolidated has phoned and left messages but they have sent nothing else in writing. I have not spoken to them under the advice of the lawyer.

October 19 – Tried to be nice and professional with Mr. Hardin. He never got back to me as promised. Sent a final email stating that I am going to search out other owners and start a class Action lawsuit.

October 24. Finally got in contact with Robert Paisola - I know that I finally have a chance to resolve this and Robert Paisola has a solid track record of success of dealing with Tahiti Village and Consolidated Resorts! Thank God for Robert Paisola.

November 1. Received letter from my lawyer were Consolidated responded to my Fax. Consolidated wrote their response on October 27…

November 3 Received letter from Consolidated in response to my letter. Basically they can do what ever they want and I can’t say anything….

Re: Tahiti Village Vacation Club - Unit No. 5307

Account No. 724274993

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Baba:

This Ietter is written to advise you about the disposition of the above-referenced contract.

On or about July 20, 2008, you executed a Purchase Agreement, identified as Agreement No. 724274993
("the Agreement''), whereby you agreed to purchase from The ASNY Company, LLC ("ASNY") a one week interval for use during the Regular Season every even year, in a one-bedroom, Bora Bora unit at Tahiti Village Vacation Club ("Tahiti Village"), located in 7200 S, Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89119.

You agreed to a purchase price of $17,740.00 and paid a down payment of $1,774.00 (and closing costs in the amount of$393.00) resulting in a purchase price balance of$15,966.00. which you agreed to finance through ASNY. You executed a Secured Promissory Note ("Note") for the financed amount, agreeing to monthly payments of $283.52 for a total term of 120 months, commencing on September 5, 2008, with payments due every 51h of the month thereafter.

Upon the expiration of your five-day rescission period without your providing ASNY with written notice to cancel, title to an ownership interest in Tahiti Village Unit No. 5307 was recorded in your names for title purposes only, pursuant to the Agreement.

Subsequent to this, you made one monthly payment related to your timeshare interval.
Sometime after July 20, 2008, a dispute arose concerning certain terms and conditions of the Agreement and you requested cancellation of the Agreement and a complete refund of all monies you paid to ASNY, which request was initially declined.

Thereafter, a mutually acceptable resolution of your dispute was
agreed upon.

Please allow this letter to confirm that ASNY has agreed to cancel the Agreement and refund you money, in exchange for your executing certain documents. As such, please find enclosed for your execution a General Release ("Release") and a QuitClaim Deed ("Deed") that will h'ansfer your ownership interest in Tahiti Village Unit No. 5307 from you back to ASNY.

In order to accept this offer, I must receive the fully executed Release and Deed back from you no later than October 6, 2008.

any conditions on the Release, CRI will maintain the account associated with the Agreement in a "Pending" status.

process your refund accordingly. You will then be fully relieved from the Note associated with the Agreement.

Subject: Please Help:Consolidated Resorts/Tahiti Village Las Vegas

Dear Mr. Paisola,

My name is Solomon, I am resident in Denmark but was in Las Vegas in august for a holiday. During the time, I was invited to Taihiti village/Consolidated Resorts for a presentation on 17/08/2008. Several things were presented to me as part of the total package and it was attractive based on what I was told together with my wife.
1. That I can use my timeshare/gateway to my home country 'Nigeria' so long there is a Hilton/5 star hotel.
2.That I will be given 6 coupons that is flight tickets to travel to any destination of my choice.
3.That the price of the timeshare/gateways when used internationally is $154 and when used domestically is $139 per week.
We were very excited and instantly made up our minds based on the above promises and a long contract document was given to us which we signed though we were told that when we arrive Denmark, on 20/08/08, someone will give us a call to explain details of the purchase further. However, we left US on 18/08/2008 and arrived Denmark 19/08/2008.
On 20/08/2008, we did not receive any call as promised. On 29/08/09, I decided to call the number that I have on my card and the lady apologized that they thought I was living in US so they were trying my number without using the international call.
The issue here is that, during that call, the lady explained what my purchase was all about and the content of my contract which was entirely different from what they explained to me during the timeshare purchase. here are here explanation.
1. That all free coupons that is flight tickets to be issue must originate from USA.
2.That Nigeria is not covered under the scheme
3.That using gateways actually cost between $199 to over $1399.
I was arguing with the lady that its not true until she directed me to the page numbers that contained all this information where I have appended my initials. I asked her if I could cancel even though I have already made a down payment of $1774 and $393 (balance=$15966.00) and she said that it was not possible because the law in Nevada permits only 5days after purchase but that she will raise the issue to her supervisors and they will call me.
A week later, I received a call from a lady by name Christy and she set up a conference call between myself and the marketers that sold the product to me and here is the detail.
1.They all confessed that they did not tell me that all coupons that is flight tickets must originate from US.
2. The main marketer guy by name Reuben denied telling me I could use the gateway/timeshare to Nigeria but during same conversation, he said he did not know if Nigeria was covered or not.
3.The denied not telling me the actual price that is $199 to over $1399.
The above conversation was sent to legal department of consolidated resorts and today 11/09/2008, I received a verdict from the legal department with the following response
1. That during the welcome call, I did not raise my issues-Its not true because they never even call me, I was the one that called and it was at that time that I raised all issue. Susan Page and Christy all of consolidated home can testify to that.
2. That all marketer denied all issues that I raised-Its not true, they denied some and agreed with some.
3. And that the 6 tickets are just additional benefits so even if the flights originate from USA, its a service provided by a third company which they can not change.
based on the above, they will not cancel my purchase. Today I have noticed they have debited my Visa card $284 which I have to be paying every month till the total capital is paid.
I called your office today and dropped my contact number and e-mail. Please can you assist me with this ? what can I do. I never knew this will ever come from a US company considering trust I have for the country.

Solomon

THE OUTCOME

Hi Robert

Myself and my wife could not ascertain what else to do when we noticed that the so called sales agents at Tahiti Village actually lied to us about the purchase of the timeshare at Tahiti village. Conference call was done between myself, the sales agent in tahiti and one Christy who is like a manager at Tahiti and based on all the conversation we had, it was clear that sales agent lied to me but I was supprised to receive a verdict from Randy Richards(Lawyer) for Tahiti village that he could not cancel my contract. I asked him if he actually listened to the tapes and made his verdict on the conversation and he said yes. Thanks to your company and www.mycollector.com because at that point, we were helpless like millions of people who may be in my shoes now. We quickly checked on internet to see if we can locate any civil right activist/Lawyer and immediately got your contact.

To round it up, today, I received a letter from Tahiti village telling me that they have decided to cancel my contract and I should sign the documents. The same people that sent me a letter 2 weeks ago that they respectfully decline my cancellation. The truth is companies and organisations must have conscience and do business with clear terms. You can not have sales people telling lies to customers and when the customer conplains, you sit back and be happy with your sales agent, that is not business, thats stealing. Robert thanks to you because I can now sleep with dignity and happiness. For millions of people out there, be careful what sales agents tell you, double check all detail of things because the document you are signing may not contain what they have told you.

Thank You Robert Paisola

Westgate Resorts and their CEO David A. Siegel Continue the SCAM, Reported by Robert Paisola

Editors Note: If you are in need of assistance in dealing with a timeshare scam, please email Robert Paisola at robert@timesharechronicles.com and view Roberts Credentials HERE

Dear Mr. Robert Paisola

I see now that I should not have signed. I had no intention of signing . . . but it seemed that I was unable to leave without signing. I was very tired and approximately 5 weeks after a car accident concussion. My 10 year old son was tantalized by the prospect of travel through Interval and kept saying - just sign Mommy - after five hours of propaganda - I relented. There was never any mention of a cancellation period.

I became very nervous and placed repeated calls to Westgate . . . I even went back in and spoke to several other managers. I only stayed one night at their place in Myrtle Beach. Then I moved to the campground. When I got home to Virginia 4 days later I tried to find the contract which the closing agent said he had placed in the briefcase. It was nowhere to be found. I placed more nervous calls asking about a cap on the maintenance fees. Nobody returned my calls. I started calling the 1-800 owner service number - and was left on hold indefinitely and disconnected twice.

Finally I got on the internet and found another woman's complaint about the "velcro" pocket. I found the contract on the sixth day and saw the clause with the 5-day cancellation period. In alarm I ran to the post office and express mailed a cancellation letter to the Florida address provided. It arrived on Friday, August 29. I signed the contract on Friday, August 22.

I gave a $300 deposit but they are scheduled to take a huge deduction from my bank account on September 15.

I cannot afford to buy this timeshare. I have a poor credit rating at the moment due to lawyer's fees and long-term family illnesses. I am working with my local credit union to straighten this out. I feel that I was the victim of predatory lenders. There is no way I can let them steal this money from my only child. I am a single mother with a low-paying public school job.

Are you able to help me get out of this contract? Please advise ASAP as I cannot sleep and am sick to my stomach. I never imagined that this situation could turn out so badly! What a fool I feel.

Thank you - I await your response and hope that you are nearby rather than traveling at the moment (sorry if it sounds selfish)

Kind regards,
Desperate Stephanie in Virginia

Tahiti Village/Consolidated Resorts, Will it EVER end? Robert Paisola

Dear Robert Paisola,

I believe we are more innocent victims of Tahiti Village/Consolidated Resorts. We have been trying to go on vacation since January of this year and every where we turn Consolidated Resorts and their supposed affiliates throw up road blocks. Tahiti Village's representatives specified at the initial presentation that all they want is for there clients to have a wonderful vacation at hardly any cost, well all we have is costs everywhere we turn and still no vacation. We have a long list of services they told us we were entitled to, but at this point all they remain to be is lies.

Please, if you can help at all we would sincerely appreciate it.
