Latest crusade
It seems every week or two I have a new injustice to fight. Well months ago you may remember me posting about how I listed our timeshare with a place that will “rent” it for you. I was contacted by their sales guy repeatedly and after initially just blowing it off, I took a minute to listen to the guy. He told me that our property was in extreme demand and he was sure it would rent within a couple weeks, which would more than pay for the listing. Well after negotiating the price down, I finally agreed and signed on, anxious to receive my first rental. Well of course, it was bullshit. Again I exhibited ample stupidity. I mean just look at their site and dig around a bit http://www.timesharesbyowner.com. It looks cheap and unprofessional.
Well of course it hasn’t rented. The sales guy that tossed us the huge plate of bullshit is no longer there, surprise, surprise. I have been going back and forth with some other schlub there. I dropped the price two months ago 40% and still have had no action. (Even though the original asking price was “can’t miss” according to the sales dick) The one time I contacted them and asked why after a month I saw 2 hits on the site and they both were from me. Magically the next day there were 20 hits. Cut me a break.
Well anyway I have been exchanging emails with the guy, each one on my part getting increasingly more angry. Finally today I told them I wanted my money refunded, that their service was a fraud and if they did not do as I asked I would be contacting anyone and everyone that would listen. His reply basically was “go ahead….” He knows not the angry email producing machine he is tinkering with. I never really expected to get my money back but I threw it out there. Now I am free to sic the dogs on them. I may even write to the local tv news consumer fraud people. It’s bullshit.
