Date Posted: Fri, Nov 14 2003, 2:49:06 Hi I too was conned into this timeshare scam. They told me that theirs is 'Home Ownership'. Back in June 2000. my wife & I were stopped at Orchard Rd, the tactics were the same, so to cut the story short,.. we were duped into buying the Calypso Plaza for $14,500. They gave me an Amex Creditline application and said Amex gives interest free. Since they said that I thought they might have an agreement with Amex but when it came, it was with interest. They said I can make use of the international resorts (RCI) by December but come Dec, they said I can't since I dont have the deed, week no. yet. The deed came end February 2001. They then seek the maintenance fee for the yr 2000 but I refused since I did not use any of their facilities for that yr, furthermore the feed came after that. Then quiet.. no news from them. Late 2002, received a letter from Australia asking to pay maintenance fees for 2 yrs (2000 & 2002) failing which my membership will be forfeited and my money gone. At that time I was so furious that I was willing to let my money go to waste rather than paying the fees. I ignored the letter. 2nd letter came after 2 weeks... I ignored again. Then a 3rd letter telling me that my membeship had been terminated. Sometime later in 2002 LGM called asking about the fees. Told them I'm not paying. Then they mentioned about the Concept Vacation Club (CVC) upgrade for $6000. I turned down the offer. They called me again after some time and even offered an instalment plan which I also rejected. I then went to CASE. One of the staff even had the cheek telling me that cases against LGM may not be a sure win, .. she says "LGM is reputable organisation". I decided to go ahead to try to get my money back. Case cc a copy sent to LGM to me.. writing very 'politely' to LGM about my problem. LGM replied after 2 weeks rejecting my case saying it was "baseless". CASE then says it cannot continue further. LGM then called again offering the upgrade again. Told them I really cannot afford.. even to pay instalment of $100 per month. Finally I thought... If I cannot beat them.. at least join them (for now). Went to CASE and asked them to ask LGM to cancel my yr 2000 fees. LGM agreed to letr me pay only the fees for yr 2002. I still have not paid anything to date. I have seeked Mestro... they dont do anything. Now I'm stucked with this membership with maintenance fees to pay. And I'm still servicing the bank loan which I used to pay LGM and I;m going flat broke.. mebbe, if I cant make ends meet, may end up a bankrupt. Hope we can all fight them and at least get some/all our money back. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
