After sitting thru numerous timeshare presentations throughout our lives, you would think we would be better informed. But no, we succumbed to the wiles of the fervent salesmen at the TORRENZA. The TORRENZA is being billed as a Private Residnece Club or fractional ownership but the story is the same.
We currenlty have a fractional ownership of a month on a 2 story, 3 bedroom/3 bath house in Marina Gardens which is a gated communityof almost all full time owners. That isn't working out for us and we want to get out from under it. In the meantime, enter the saviors at the Torrenza. They vehemently assured us that their company would buy our share in the house for the full value of the money we have into it. When our Torrenza sales person couldn't deliver us, they called in the heavy hitter, Jesse Rodriguez, who verbally promised us the full amount of our fractional onership at Marina Gardens . . . . PLUS, of course, we were given BONUS weeks that we could sell back to the so-called marketing arm of the company! So we were going to get this screaming deal on this fabulous private club for a measily pittance. They were so sincere. They made so many phone calls for us, they brought in our contact person from Marina Gardens to assure us it was a legit deal. They worked us for hours. Altho we had heard this song and dance before, being the trusting old souls we are, we bit on it.
After reading everything over in our room later that evening, we realized we had been "had" and went in the next day to cancel since we were within our 5 days, according to Mexican law. They were not a cooperative, congenial group and now we are going to battle with them for our down-payment back.
If you have read or heard all the horror stories about the MAYAN, be warned that this sales group is from the Mayan and are using all the same dirty, nasty tricks! Stay away! If you are heading for Mazatlan in the near future, burn the name TORRENZA into your brain so you can head off any attacks from that group!
And . .wish us luck!

Hi friends,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Raul Gonzalez and I too was a victim of timeshare fraud. In 2008 I bought a timeshare in Hacienda del Mar in Puerto Rico. When I decided to go on vacation the next year I noticed a lot of discrepancies between what I was promised and reality. When I realized this, I turned to ad advocacy group that helped me cancel my contract and recuperate the money I invested. I was so satisfied with this service that now I work for this consumer rights group that help the individual timeshare owner who feels that they have been misrepresented, lied too or coerced in the buying of the property. The name of this group is Timeshare Advocacy International LLC and we help timeshare owners get out of these fraudulent contracts and in most cases recover part of the money, if not all that was invested. I invite you to visit our web page www.timeshareaide.com and read about this group and all the testimonials of people like me. We need to realize that there is help and we no longer have to be victims.
