Palazzo sues Consolidated Resorts over missing rent, Posted by Robert Paisola

A lawsuit has been filed over a multimillion-dollar dispute pitting the Palazzo hotel-casino and its shopping mall against a Las Vegas vacation timeshare company.

The parent companies of the Palazzo and its shopping mall, the Shoppes at the Palazzo, filed suit this month in Clark County District Court against Consolidated Resorts Inc.

Consolidated, which is based in Las Vegas near Summerlin, is accused of failing to open marketing booths as agreed at two locations in the Palazzo and two more locations in the Shoppes at the Palazzo.

Officials of Consolidated could not immediately be reached for comment.

Consolidated has three timeshare properties in Las Vegas: Tahiti, Tahiti Village and Club de Soleil; along with properties in Florida and Hawaii. The lawsuit claims the hotel and mall are each owed $4.25 million in annual rent -- along with damages for allegedly interfering with plans by the Palazzo parent to sell the mall to General Growth Properties Inc. of Chicago.

The lawsuit says Consolidated is owned or controlled by Whitehall Street Global Real Estate LP (limited partnership) 2007, which is in turn sponsored and managed by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the fund’s largest investor and a longtime investment banker for the parent company of the Palazzo.

The Palazzo and Shoppes at the Palazzo lawsuit says that after Consolidated was acquired by Whitehall, Consolidated was directed not to establish the marketing booths and that Goldman knew this would harm the plaintiffs since Goldman was aware of the plan to sell the mall.

The $1.9 billion Palazzo and the Shoppes at the Palazzo had their grand opening in early 2008. They are part of Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s collection of properties on the Las Vegas Strip and Sands Avenue that include the Venetian resort and the Sands Expo Center.

VERY VERY IMPORTANT CONSOLIDATED RESORTS VIP AUDIT UPDATE!

IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD ANY DEALINGS WITH CONSOLIDATED RESORTS TAHITI VILLAGE PROPERTY IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, YOU WILL NEED TO READ OUR ENTIRE REVIEW OF THE 5 HOUR VISIT THAT WE MADE TO THE TAHITI VILLAGE PROPERTY TODAY.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CONSOLIDATED RESORTS OR TAHITI VILLAGE, THEN YOU WILL WANT TO READ OUR FULL REVIEW, WHICH IS IN THE TRANSCRIPTION PROCESS.

HERE ARE SOME BASIC FACTS THAT WE HAVE LEARNED:

1. We have CONFIRMED that Consolidated Resorts, who is the parent company of TAHITI Village is being backed by an obscure unit of GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC, et sec:

Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s Whitehall real estate fund said it made a ``substantial'' investment in Consolidated Resorts Inc., the time-share resort developer owned by closely held ASNY Corp. of Las Vegas.

Terms weren't disclosed. The companies formed a joint venture called ASNY Holdings LLC that will be managed by Arthur Spector, ASNY's founder, chairman and chief executive officer, New York- based Goldman said in a statement distributed by Business Wire today.

``We expect to combine this platform with our extensive resources in Whitehall to continue to grow this business into what we believe will be a world leader in the vacation ownership industry,'' said Stuart Rothenberg, the Goldman managing director who heads the firm's principal real estate investing unit, in the statement.

Consolidated Resorts, founded in 1982, has developed vacation ownership properties in Maui, Las Vegas and Orlando and has projects in development in Palm Springs and Kauai. Some of ASNY's assets and non-timeshare assets owned by Spector aren't included in the new venture.

The investment was made by Goldman's Whitehall Street Global Real Estate LP 2007 fund.

This fact has not been brought to public light because of the massive customer service issues that have been occurring at Consolidated Resorts flagship property, Tahiti Village. We are flying to New York City for our VIP Clients to meet with Goldman Sachs to let them listen to the audio of what we were told.

2. WE HAVE CONFIRMED that there have been DOUBLE DEEDING of properties in an effort by management to present an ARTIFICIAL CAP on members who join the resorts. This data is presented in articles on this site and will be the subject of a much larger article.

3. IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO TO TAHITI VILLAGE IN LAS VEGAS,NEVADA IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL THAT YOU ONLY MEET WITH MR. BRETT OLSEN, ( Pictured below with Mr. Robert Paisola ) WHO IS A SENIOR SALES REPRESENTATIVE WHOM WE SPENT MANY HOURS WITH TODAY DISCUSSING THE TAHITI VILLAGE PROJECT and IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT WE CAN REFER YOU TO AT THE TIMESHARE CHRONICLES TO ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT GET SCREWED.

ROBERT PAISOLA, THE CEO OF WESTERN CAPITAL AND BRETT OLSEN, THE ONLY PERSON YOU SHOULD TALK WITH... OR LEAVE! CALL HIM DIRECT AT 1-800-231-3111

4. LISTEN CAREFULLY!! STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ANYONE ELSE, JUST SHOW UP, TELL THEM THAT YOU MUST SEE BRETT OLSEN AND REFUSE TO TALK TO ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE, ESPECIALLY THE CURRENT PROJECT MANAGER, Skip Cady.

We ARE NOT ENDORSING SKIP KADY, so DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

If you are in Las Vegas and you are reading this before you leave for your timeshare presentation, PRINT THIS OUT and take it with you. We have had long discussions with Brett and he is one of the only people we trust. HE WILL ASSIST YOU AND GIVE YOU DIRECTION. HE CAN EVEN GET ROBERT PAISOLA ON THE PHONE FROM INSIDE THE RESORT if you are needing additional direction.

5. There are HUNDREDS of Photos and LIVE AUDIO for you to listen to and watch. Hang in there, because now that we know that Goldman Sachs is involved, the game just got much bigger. There are many other issues going on inside the Consolidated Resorts Company that we will discuss, but the information will be closely guarded until the proper time.

My friends, this has been a VERY LONG day, and a visit to the Tahiti Village Resort is not merely a 2 hour event, but an ordeal. We will provide you with pricing, incentives, employee interviews, transcripts, Live Audio and Much More.

We are also going to contact Goldman Sachs about this investment and seek comment from not only Goldman, but the CEO of Consolidated Resorts, and The New Project Director Skip Kady. We are also in the process of presenting our evidence of DOUBLE DEEDING to the State of Nevada Department of Real Estate.

If you are having problems with Consolidated Resorts or Tahiti Village, watch the video at www.WesternCapitalVip.com and follow our steps as outlined. Also watch the VIP Video at www.WesternCapitalMD.com

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….

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

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.

Tahiti Village, Consolidated Resorts Scam Continues, by Robert Paisola

Mr. Robert Paisola

My husband and I are victims of the Tahiti Village, Consolidated Resorts time share scam. We subscumbed to the high pressure sale while on our honeymoon in Vegas. Upon our return, I got devestating news from my emloyer, I lost my job - buisness closed its doors- and therefore our income is now reduced by 50% ..we have been unable to make the remaining deposit payment to consolidated resorts, and we are now facing a pending lawsuit for the remaining balance on our contract of aprox $15,000 ( we have only paid $500 so far) We were told there is no way out of the contract, our five (calender ) days were used durring the vacation and travel, and included a Sunday- so were were unable to send certified revocation of contract letter in time to release us from the contract. (signed papers on a tuesday- flew back home friday, returned home at midnight, reviewed material on Sat- called but no service on weekends .. called Monday to learn we were screwed.)

Is there any hope for us, can someone help to expose this company for its high pressure, sneaky sales tactics and uncomprehensible binding contracts ? I feel we were mislead- the investment misrepresented, and the contract contains multitudes of fine print nearly incomprehensable, which when deciphered- are not details that were exlpained and presented to us at the time of sale.

Shouldnt there be a law to protect buyers in the event of a drastic change in financial or personal circumstances makes it impossible to fulfill the contract balance? We make about $21,000 a year now, single income -verses the combined estimated income of $50,000 we previously made... We are a family of three, soon to be four later this fall. Due to the change in income, we are already living on top ramen and pinching every penny to scrape by... we have no assets, not even a decent vehichle .. so the only way this company can get money from us is to garnish my husbands wages, which would put us into extreme poverty for who knows how long.
The has caused a myriad of problems for us as a newly married couple, and a second child on the way.. its the biggest mistake we have ever made. Im sorry we went to Vegas on our honeymoon.

We are looking at filing bankruptcy if we have to, there in no way we can live if my husbands wages are garnished... Its sad to consider, because we have otherwise good credit and not much outstanding debt... but what option do we have?

I aprecaite any advice you have to offer, and I apoligise for taking so much of your valuable time- I certianly apprecaite it,
Thank you ,

Tahiti Village Continues with Lies, Scams and More Victims, Robert Paisola Reports

Mr. Paisola,

I have read the letters from other frustrated timeshare owners and I wonder is there a class action law suit for Consolidated Resort, Tahiti Village? I was lied to, and I felt forced into purchasing the timeshare. During the time the sales man, Brad Quenemoen, insisted we purchase a unit a Tahiti Village, my husband and I was against it. Then Mr. Quenemoen got the staff manager, Michael Dorantes, to come over and help him sale us a unit. My husband and I received Mr. Dorantes’s home and cell number for assurance that we were in good hands.

Please let me know if there is a chance that Consolidated Resorts are not doing business fair. I still am not aware of my financial company’s information. My interest rate is 16.5% and that is very high, but Consolidated Resorts is not my finance company, GMAC is but, they do not have a record of me. What are my rights as a consumer? I am being taken advantage of.

I have not had a job and I have not been able to pay Consolidated Resorts, so now I have gotten a letter for summons and civil complaint that might be filed with the court if I don’t contact them with payment. This is strong arm. Please is there anything you can help me with?

Thank you,

Tahiti Village- Never Ever Buy From these People and Tell them To Go to Hell, Robert Paisola Investigates

Robert-

I tried for 4 days to reply at the bottom of the allexperts.com page, but it says you weren't accepting new questions.

So, I hope this is the right way to go about this.

My husband and I bought into Tahiti Village 11/06, I think it was the day right after we got married, which was also my birthday. My husband originally wanted to go just to get the "free" perks---and when you fill out all that detailed paperwork, well, needless to say, the seller/promoter that was working with us made a complete fuss over us and gave us the royal treatment. We were initially turned down after having ran a credit check and me giving them a credit card w/insufficient funds. But they were able to fanagle the paperwork and "work out a deal" so to speak. We had both filed for bankruptcy [me 13 and husband 7] in the early 2000's. After this, every single month after that financially we went downhill.

Bought Grandview back in early 05. At least we have a deed and the HUD for it.

Also have Moon Palace, Cancun ... only to find out we don't really own anything-- $20K-some later--that's almost all paid off.

I just asked for the contract and the deed [after 1 year of not receiving it] from Tahiti.

I just recently had to pay about $1300 to get caught up with Tahiti-- found out that $800 of that I had to pay was 2/3 of it was over due maintenance fees, and 2-1 time fees, a transfer fee [ what the heck am I transferring? I only paid for 1 year [that I had to pay for] with Interval International, and a general fund fee [I thought that was what maintenance fees were for]. And I had to pay for Feb and March. Tahiti Village is relentless in collecting--- after being only 1 day late, I started getting phone calls--and I made the mistake of answering 1 of them--- more than 10 times a day. I made sure to tell them they were calling a cell phone number, which is also a work phone number [for me it is the truth, I don't have a landline], and not to call here. It didn't work. I have collected 85% of their incoming calls by answering them and immediately hangning up, so I have documented proof of the harassment.

I appreciate it when you say to take care of family first--- but we both have government jobs, and when they both threaten court if we default [both being Grandview and Tahiti Village] we can't have that on our records--much less wages being garnished--or even face termination.

I am currently not working, in a heated battle in a denied work comp case, and my husband is working 80+ hours a week just to keep the major bills paid. Our tax refunds have literally flown out the window, $10K to catch up on past-due bills, including our home mortgage. I also am going to be having major surgery first part of April, where I will be wheelchair bound for 1/2 a year.

We just want out of this headache. We've learned our lesson--- we never used either one of them, and have no intentions of doing so--we can't even use Grandview as our week falls during a very busy time for us at work and we have no chance of getting vacation during that time.

We've tried just offering them back--- they can keep the $ already invested. Won't happen, even with my "story". I'd be hauled to court for default and have to pay the difference between what they could re-sell it for. {I've seen both properties listed on eBay for 1 penny--and not sell :( }

I only wish I would have known about you earlier--- we would have never gotten into this mess. I see I'm not the only one though. I'm glad you're out there, fighting for us, exposing the dirtiness that timeshare people do to get a $.


I hope this is enough information.
Thank You--All the Best

Beware, The Tahiti Village Strikes Again, By Robert Paisola

Dear Sir
I've been looking for help and came across your site. I'm not sure you can help me but, maybe, you can point me in the right direction. I apologize for the length of this email but, from reading your site, I know you ask for details.

In July of 2005 we met some friends visiting from England, in Las Vegas. Our hotel had a booth in the lobby offering free tickets to a show for sitting through an hour's presentation ... well, you know the story and you can guess what we went through during an 'hour's presentation' that lasted over 4 hours.

We had just put our home on the market and, because of the booming real estate market, thought it would sell immediately, we'd pay off the time share after the sale and be fine. You know what happened to the real estate market immediately thereafter. It's been 3 years and our home hasn't sold.

At the signing the notary, lawyer (whatever she was)... kept telling us not to worry about the high interest as we could 'always get a mortgage loan at a much less rate' once we got home. This, of course, turned out to be less than honest as no one (reputable) will lend on a time share.. but who knew that at the time? Nor can we sell it and get what we've paid for it or anything even close to that. There seems to be a glut of timeshares for sale. Turns out you can't sell it if it's not paid off. It's not like selling a home.... another less than honest sales pitch. It doesn't qualify as a second home either.

Caveat Emptor should be seared into one's brain but, alas, it is not and we pay the price for out naivete!

We've been paying our $435.95 monthly by credit card .. which is now maxed out and our yearly maintenance fees of $598.00. The deposit was $2,899.00.

In the meantime, my husband retired for health reasons, he will be 69 in March. I am 65 and also 'retired'.

We live on our social security which, in my case, is the bare minimum as I was a stay-at-home mom for most of our married life (46 years, 2 mos) and worked only occasionally. John also gets a small disability pension for his service in Viet-Nam and a $300.00 pension from the Post Office. Altogether we bring in about 2800.00 monthly.

Because of a second mortgage we took out to remodel the house and get it ready to sell, our mortgage payment is over $3,000.00 a month.

A friend recently hired John to help him with his business and he brings home +/- another 900.00 a month but we don't know how long this can go on and we're still 'in the hole' each month.

We've used up our entire life savings keeping us afloat until our home sells. Now we simply cannot afford to continue to pay on the time share but we don't know what to do about it. We were late paying last month and we've now missed Feb.'s payment. The collection calls come daily.

John did speak to someone who called and told her we couldn't afford to continue and we might just have to walk away from it and take the credit hits she threatened would follow. Then she started screaming at him, yelling 'Just who do you think you are, etc." and he hung up.

The daily calls have been so bad I'm afraid to answer the phone. Today a man identifing himself as 'an attorney for Consolidated' left a message on our answering machine demanding we contact him immediately. I know it will be an exercise in threats and intimidation and, frankly, neither of us can take it either physically or mentally. We are stressed out to the max. We just don't know what to do or who to turn to.

I'm hoping you will be able to offer some advice. I know we were foolish getting talked into the time share but we thought we'd be fine and the entire family would benefit in it's use. The two bedroom could be used by any or all of us. This was not to be however. The events I've described above have kept us from even using it once. One of my sons used it once but it wasn't 'free'. Fees still had to be paid. Guest fees, etc. Never really did understand that.

I realize that, at our age, we should have been smarter but...Can you offer any advice?

Respectfully,
Elaine
