I recently helped my father purchase his first TS. He purchased through EBAY with laman34. He got an EOY (Even) 1 BR deluxe at SDO. Got it for little to nothing ($124 Bid, $326 for 2010 MF, and $25 for Resort transfer) Seller paid closing costs. Escrow was done by Timeshare Closing Services.
Contract was signed on 2/2/10. He offically closed on the deed about 4 weeks later.
My father decided to setup an II account this past weekend and deposit his SDO week. Upon calling SVO, he was told he didn't have usage until 2012. I ended up gettng on the phone with the rep and said his contract stated first usage in 2010 and that he had paid 2010 MF. Also, my father has two messages on his answering machine from Starwood letting him know they would be happy to help him setup his first stay at SDO in 2010.
It was the weekend and the resolution rep was not in until Monday... so SVO calls my father on Monday and says the previous owner had traded his 2010 SDO week for a SVO resort in Florida for March of 2010.
Now what? Do we ask for our money back on the whole deal? Do we call the closign compan? Laman34? Do we ask for our MF's for 2010 to be refunded or at least credited for 2011?
Suggestions?
