Additional Notes - Finn Law Group
Complaint Category: None of the Above - Contract Complaint Issue
Complaint: firm sent me a contract, contacted them back with questions, they started calling me names and insulting me and my carreer, I then cancelled initiated contact with the firm regarding cacellation of timeshare, they requested 4500$ upfront to start working on the case with 550$ down, I paid the money down and then they send me contract that contained a lot of contradictions to the phone conversation with the paralegal earlier. the issue was multiple extra costs and no protection against judiciary foreclosure and credit protection. when I called to question further and reuest a written clarification, he called me "pain in the ****" and a waste of his time and a "horrible surgeon", and either I go ahead and just sign or he will refund the money back as he has no time for me, so I cancelled the contract. this is a complaint about unprofessional behavior and failure to answer questions especially when the cost is 4500$
From the Finn Law Group Website:
Translation: They are going to charge you a stiff fee to send a form letter to the management company/HOA and ask them to let you out of your contract.
Go see a local attorney - he can write a letter on letterhead for you for $100 or less - with the same (nil) results.
From the Better Business Bureau website:

if you are upside down on your payments, you cant sell it to anyone anyway....nor is anyone going to be able to "get you out of it". If its a mortgage you financed, you might not even owe HGVC that money, but instead a 3rd party lender.
How can you be upside down on it, but have $6000 dollars to give away to an upfront fee company?
How can you have never attempted to sell or even give away your timeshare, but be on the fence about giving a random entity more than $6000 dollars to rid yourself of it? wouldnt it be easier to pay that money towards what you owe and give the timeshare away to a willing owner?
inquiring minds want to know!

I forgot to add, it was financed through HGVC themselves but you're right it could be a 3rd party that I am not aware of as the payments go to HGVC.
Also from what I was told by Finn Law, the HGVC unit share would just go back into their inventory and get resold for another $$$ so whatever the balance is, it's just a wash for HGVC because they already have the thousands of $$ that we already paid + maintenance fees and taxes and they will resell it. Does that sound right?
Lawyer licensure is on a state by state basis. Does Finn Law Group have lawyers licensed in the state where the timeshare is located? If not, they are not going to be able to help you. If you do not know, check their list of lawyers out with the State Bar of the state where the timeshare is located.
As a former timeshare HOA president, I can tell you that if we had received a horsey letter from an out of state lawyer not licensed to practice in North Carolina, we would have probably dealt with it by forwarding the letter to the NC State Bar's Unlicensed Practice of Law committee, with a copy to the State Bar in the lawyer's home state. Our HOA DID take deedbacks from members if they called and asked, but if some of these bottom feeders tried to force us, that was a different story.
So did anyone figure out if these are good guys or bad guys I need help as well, thanks.
