Hi Richard,

I got a similar experience as yours. please see below, what is the status of your case, did they suit you after that?

I was called by World Resort International for a timeshare package 4 years ago. After 4 hours' non-stop presentation and pressure, I signed up a $12,000 timeshare package and paid $5000 for diposit for Royal Goan Resort for 80 years. I immediately regreted after went back home. The next day, I approached WRI asking for cancelling of the contract. After two weeks struggling with them, finally they agreed. I got $4500 for refund, but another $500 was for administritive fee which I failed to get it back. At that time, I thought it was the best result I could get, anyway I finally got rid of the nightmare of time share.
But the case has not really closed yet.
Last week, I received a phone call from a company called "Global Europ", they claimed that the WRI was closed down, now they are pointed by WRI to handle all the outstanding case. According to their records from WRI, I only paied $5000 for my time share, there are still $7000 outstanding payment needed to be settled. Initially I thought it was just another scam and refused to talk to them. But they kept calling me and even threat me with a layer latter. So I decided to visit their office to face them.
Before I went there, I call CASE, their advice was it is ok to go but don't sign anything.
I went there last Saturday. Their office is located at Maxwell House Level 4. In their office, they showed me the appointment letter from WRI and my previous contract with WRI. In the contract, it indicated I only paid off $5000 and still owe them $7000. I told them this contract was terminated four and half years ago. I don't owe anybody's money. They asked for termination letter, it is bad I didn't keep it for so long. They told me even I still have the termination letter with me, it will not help. The reason is the termination is between WRI and me, not between Loyal Goan and me. In another word, I have not terminate this contract with Loyal Goan.
They gave me two options. One is paying off the $7000 and getting the proper membership from Royal Guan, but I still have to pay about $600 per year up to 80 years for maintenance. The second option is seeking the help from them to transfer my membership to somebody else, but it will involve the layer fee and admin fee for about $7000 which is the same amount of my outstanding payment.
During the discussion, they asked me to sign a form to indicate I will not disclose anything I was presented by them. Of course I refused to sign it. I told them I need time to think of it and will inform them later on. But they asked me to write a leter to Loyal Goan in front of them to request some more time for consideration otherwise they will not guarantee Loyal Guan would not take a legal action to me during my consideration time. They threated me a lot with the laywer letter all along the conversation. I was really frightened. For some time, I almost lost my mind. Finally and luckly, I dicided not write any thing and left there.
I am really angry at those kind of people disturbing my whole life out of the sudden. I have suffered $500 lost four years ago, but they still want suck more money from me.
Really need your help and advice, what should I do? Will they take a legal action against me? How could I protect my own interest as a consumer? Can I just igore their calls? Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Please share if you have similar experience.
