Forza Consumer Group Review

Forza Consumer Group is another company that may be able to help you get out of a timeshare. Their primary address is in Costa Mesa, CA, and they are registered in Colorado; they have been in business since June 2021.

Website

Forza Consumer Group’s website, from a design perspective, is straightforward, responsive, and easy to navigate. It looks clean and uniform, and has just a few main pages. It also includes a blog that offers interesting timeshare-related articles and looks otherwise well put together.

That said, while the website is clean, it still has a bit of an unprofessional look — inconsistent fonts and odd capitalization patterns playing into this — and the content shares a lot of problems with other timeshare exit companies’ websites. Namely, not only does it have grammatical and spelling errors scattered throughout, but it also asserts claims that are mired in vague language.

The home page’s claim that Forza Consumer Group has helped “thousands of clients” when they have only been operating for a few months is just one of these instances. The About Us page has further assertions about what they do, including the following:

“Creating unique solutions in cancelling…timeshare contract[s]. We want to give the power back to the consumer in deciding whether they want a lifetime obligation to the resort.”

“Takes pride in communicating with our clients and updating them with real-time information about the progress on their case. Our client portal allows you to have 24/7 access to pertinent information on your file. Our skilled Exit Strategists are also available should you have any questions or concerns along the way.”

All of this sounds nice at first. But there’s not much more in the way of who these exit strategists actually are, or exactly how this team operates and creates these “unique solutions” aside from partnering with a firm called Molfetta Law.

Moving onto the page Our Process affirms that these statements don’t have a lot of weight behind them. Again, like many other timeshare exit companies, Forza Consumer Group uses a lot of filler language in describing how they actually get clients out of their timeshare contracts. They talk about an initial evaluation, processing documents, and providing updates, making the obvious statement that “each client case needs to be evaluated individually. Every situation is unique.” Yet this page’s section on “Strategies That Work” doesn’t actually outline strategies or talk details, which is definitely a sign to move forward with caution.

This trend continues with the FAQs page (which, ironically enough, states that “It’s all in the details”). Here, the company fails to give details on their general costs, and also makes a strange comment wherein they promise “to contribute a portion of their client fees to apply towards cancellation fees that might occur during the exit process.” Generally you would want to find a company that actually seeks to cancel your remaining fees, so it is not clear why Forza Consumer Group uses this as a selling point. Regardless, it is certainly something to keep in mind before engaging with them.

Reviews

Forza Consumer Group has very few online reviews, presumably because they are such a new company. Their BBB page has no reviews or complaints, but they can speak to being accredited and having an A- rating.

However, it’s difficult to give much credence to what should be positive signs, because a quick look into Molfetta Law, the law firm with which this company collaborates, shows plenty of red flags.

Molfetta Law, to be clear, is a law firm owned and operated by Michael Molfetta, located in the Costa Mesa/Irvine area. It has been in business since 2018. Molfetta is unaccredited and unrated with the BBB. The firm has several five star reviews, but also and has several one-star reviews on Yelp, Avvo, and LawyerRatingz that all speak to similar experiences.

Molfetta himself has been involved in a few lawsuits, including one with Diamond Resorts, alleging his own fraudulent activity and false advertising. These are easy to find with a quick Google search. Although this is a bit of a concern, it’s important to note that anyone can file a lawsuit for anything, but that doesn’t make the allegations true. Timeshare developers in particular file lawsuits against timeshare exit companies all the time. They don’t always win though.

If you’re in Southern California or the Orange County area and searching for a timeshare exit company, please take into account the complaints about Molfetta Law when considering hiring Forza Consumer Group. A company like this one is far from your only option. There are several other timeshare exit companies that are reputable and good for their word, and our reviews of them can be found on this page.

Cost

Forza Consumer Group promises a free consultation, like many other timeshare exit businesses. Their payment model seems to be preemptive, but since the language on their website is so murky, it’s not entirely clear whether or not it actually is.

We always seek to make it clear that working with a company who requires upfront payments is not a good idea. Instead, we recommend finding a timeshare exit company who only accepts payments through escrow. That way, you can be sure that they are not getting any of your money until they’ve fulfilled their promises. You can learn more about escrow and why it’s important on this page.

Advice on Avoiding Scams

One of the reasons we solely recommend companies that use escrow is the amount of timeshare exit scams that exist. Because there are so many, it can help to know what to look for in order to find the most trustworthy companies. To avoid getting involved in a timeshare exit or any other kind of scam, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Resist any pressure to pay for a service right away. A reputable company will never push you into working with them before you are ready. High-pressure sales tactics are red flags, and they indicate a business you want to avoid.
Ask about licensing, insurance, and identification with local businesses. To get clear about which local companies are legitimate, ask about licensing and insurance. You should also always check identification when it comes to anyone who will be dealing with your money and personal information.
Check the fine print and don’t believe everything you read. Most scams rely on common industry phrases to build trust, but they often fail to produce information that backs their claims. They can tend to exaggerate and make lofty promises as well. A responsible company will not do this; instead, they’ll give you details about how they will cancel your timeshare for you.

Summary

Unfortunately, based on the reviews of Molfetta Law, and the relative newness of Forza Consumer Group itself, we cannot recommend working with this company to get out of your timeshare at this time.

But there are several other companies that can actually help you get out of a timeshare. Again, to review our list of recommended companies, you can visit this page. And if you have any other questions about getting rid of a timeshare, please feel free to get in touch with us. You can do so by calling 833-416-8796, using the live chat, or filling out the contact form on the right side of the page.

EZ Advocates LLC Review

EZ Advocates LLC is another timeshare exit company that may be able to help get you out of your timeshare. They are located in Portland, ME, and have been in business for five years.

Website

The website for EZ Advocates LLC appears to be well-built at first glance. The design is fluid and fairly consistent, and the navigation is simple, with just a few different subpages. Their main claim is as follows:

“EZ Advocates, LLC is a consumer protection agency based out of Portland Maine. Maine is a state that has been built on trust, integrity, and hard work. Mainers have a true belief in staying true to their word. At EZ Advocates you can expect nothing short of these expectations. The EZ Advocates team specializes in consumer protection and they always deliver as promised, on time.”

However, a closer look at the content, which similarly looks to use all the “right” phrases, tells a bit of a different story. There’s a great deal of filler and fluff, as well as sporadic grammatical and spelling errors, both of which make it difficult to trust what the pages say. For example, the Our Services page states:

“Here at EZ Advocates LLC we have experts review and approve our documents to ensure quality and professionalism is displayed throughout every square inch of the document. Clients have the option of receiving all of the paperwork in advance in good faith. Once received, they would carry out the service or they are more than welcome to request our assistance in the preparation of the forms. Our seasoned advocates will give a helping hand throughout the duration of the agreement for an Advocate will be assigned to you from step “A” to step “Z” to assure you everything is handled properly.”

There isn’t anything here that clarifies what processes EZ Advocates LLC uses to get you out of a timeshare contract. Furthermore, their constant use of the word “advocates” is strange, and seems to gloss over the fact that they definitely aren’t working with actual legal professionals or lawyers. Even their use of the phrase “consumer protection agency” is an odd choice, given that it’s pretty ubiquitous, and it allows them to be in business without ever having to outright say that they are a timeshare exit company.

In tandem with this, the About Us page is staggeringly vague:

“Each of our clients are assigned their own personal advocate to answer any questions or provide any assistance. Not only are they professionals but they are also punctual, respectful & most importantly, helpful. Your advocate will always get back to you in a timely manner. At EZ Advocates we understand your urgency for answers to any questions or concerns you may have along the way. To ease your stress on availability to contact your personal advocate, our customer service dedicates 12 hours of each business day to ensure all of your questions are promptly answered.”

In summary, there is plenty of lip service paid to EZ Advocates LLC being fast and efficient, and caring about helping those who have been taken advantage of, but zero information about how they operate or who these “advocates” actually are. We didn’t find any photos of actual employees or owners of this business on the website or anywhere else.

On top of all of this, EZ Advocates LLC’s website has a survey on the Let Us Help page that is poorly written, includes a broken pdf to a “welcome package,” and uses language that encourages a victim mindset. The last of these is a clear red flag; it’s always a good idea to be wary around anyone who emphasizes your being a victim to get your business, as chances are good they will use that status to their advantage.

Reviews

In searching for reviews of EZ Advocates LLC, we unearthed a great deal of information regarding why they don’t feature their owners and “advocates” on their website. While there are definitely positive reviews to be found on both Google and their BBB page — the latter of which, we should note, does show their being accredited and awards them 4.69 out of 5 stars — there’s a sufficient amount of complaints to prompt follow-up questions.

Several people noted in their complaints that they paid EZ Advocates LLC and never heard from them again. This indicates not only that they require upfront payments, but also that they have a spotty history. More than one instance of this kind of activity is a pattern, rather than a series of misunderstandings.

This pattern led us to look more deeply into the company’s licensing and ownership, but it turned out that we could not find any registration information for them either on OpenCorporates or through Maine’s Secretary of State database. They’re also not part of the Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce, in spite of what their website graphics would lead one to believe. So for all intents and purposes, EZ Advocates LLC is not a viable company.

We did find that the purported owner, Rahaman Kargar, lists the EZ Advocates LLC website on his social media profiles and has himself listed as owner on LinkedIn, though that’s the extent of what we found. At least, we should say, that’s the extent of what we found for EZ Advocates LLC — it turns out that he is also considered the owner of a very similar company called Pine Tree Consultants, located in Portland, ME as well (at the same address, no less). The Yelp, Google, and BBB reviews for Pine Tree Consultants very much reflect the few complaints we found for EZ Advocates LLC:

“This company is a scam. They take your money and do not do what they said what they would do to get you out of your Timeshare. They also tell you at the beginning of the contract that you will receive 100 percent of your money back if they cannot get you out of your timeshare. That just to sucker you in to getting your money. They use weak ass letters to send to your timeshare, and often send you the same letters to send out for you to mail out again. When you ask for your money back they claims you have went pass 18 months therefore you are not entitled to a refund. They never got you out of your timeshare even though they claim such timeshare as Wyndham takes longer. You call and email them severals months before your 18 months are up and they will not return your calls or emails until your 18 months are up. The attorney is never available when you ask to speak to him.. Also your credit will be destroyed in the meantime. The FBI needs to investigate this company for scamming people and prosecute them. They have multiple complaints . Search the internet before using them. In the meantime I will have a lawyer working on my case. Beware Pinetree Consultant.”

According to Maine’s business registry, a local attorney named Jeffrey B. Herbert — who works at another law firm entirely — is supposed to be the operating agent for Pine Tree Consultants, so there’s something amiss here. Either way, the bottom line is that EZ Advocates LLC is an unregistered business, and the owner seems to have his hands in several arenas just because they could potentially make him money. He is either lying about being part owner of Pine Tree Consultants, or has registered the company using another person’s name; either way, it makes this situation incredibly questionable at best and fraudulent at worst. Fortunately, a handful of people seem to be aware of this, given the reviews cited above.

Cost

Costs are not directly cited on EZ Advocates LLC’s website. While there is an option to “Get a quote” on the Services page, the link just leads to the Contact page, so there’s no way to immediately get a numeric value of what you could expect to pay.

That said, based on the reviews, it is almost certain that you could expect to pay upfront. Costs varied — again, based on the reviews — from $175 per month to nearly $3200 total. But we never recommend that you work with a timeshare exit company who demands payments before taking any action. In general, it’s best to find a company that uses escrow for payment. That way, you can be sure that they won’t get paid unless they actually help you get out of your contract. To learn more about why escrow is important, you can visit this page.

Summary

Avoid doing business with EZ Advocates LLC. The typical green flags of BBB accreditation and positive reviews do not apply to this situation: there appears to be a high level of fraud going on with them, and it’s surprising that no real legal action has taken against EZ Advocates LLC’s owner yet. Rather than getting involved with another scam to find a way out of your timeshare, we would recommend looking into one of our recommended companies. All of these businesses are trustworthy, and have a history of not only helping people get rid of their timeshares, but doing so through escrow-based payments.

Remember, it’s possible to find legitimate help for your timeshare situation, and you should never let something that looks better than it is make you believe otherwise. If you have more questions about this or another company, or your specific situation, please feel free to get in touch. You can do so by filling out our contact form, initiating the live chat, or giving us a call at 833-416-8796.

Timeshare Help Source Cost

Timeshare Help Source Summary

Timeshare Help Source is another company that may be able to help you get out of a timeshare. They are located in Colorado Springs, CO, and have been in business since 2018.

Timeshare Help Source Website

At first glance, Timeshare Help Source seems to have a strong online presence, with a well-designed website that’s clean-looking and very easy to navigate. It mostly consists of a Home page, a section on their processes, a blog, and a Contact page. Their links to their social media platforms — Twitter, Facebook, and Medium — show that they are very active online in general.

However, once we started reading the website more closely, we came up with more questions than answers. The Process section is particularly interesting: Timeshare Help Source outlines here the steps they take to help people with their timeshares, in essence, but it is not clear whether or not they are actually helping people exit their timeshares. The steps they list are as follows:

“Step 1: Discovery. Just like every timeshare contract is unique, every timeshare owner is unique. Unique in your needs, wants and desire for your family. The goal of our discovery process is to figure out your specific needs.”
“Step 2: Education. Our certified speakers will cover all new & pertinent information regarding the current state of the timeshare industry. This is where you will have a chance to take notes and even ask questions afterwards.”
“Step 3. Seminar Results: Our job is to help you leave our seminar more knowledgeable and with a plan. A plan on how to achieve what your family needs out of your timeshare, not what your timeshare needs out of your family.”

This language is pretty empty as far as describing a timeshare exit process. If you are trying to get out of a timeshare, you already know that your situation is unique, as well as what the timeshare industry is like. We are not really sure what attending a seminar has to do with getting out of a timeshare or addressing your contract and fees. It sounds like a situation that would simply require more payments from you, toward an unclear objective or end result.

The rest of the website is unfortunately devoid of details as well. There is copy speaking to Timeshare Help Source being owned by Charles Hearn on the Contact page, something that we easily verified. However, looking up Hearn’s background led us to discover that he is also the owner of a company called Hearn Media, LLC. Visiting Hearn Media’s website showed an entirely different photo of him to the one on the Timeshare Help Source website, and furthermore, that Timeshare Help Source is actually featured as a client on the Hearn Media website.

This led us to look into whether Charles Hearn has operated Timeshare Help Source under different names, or owned other businesses of a similar nature. True to form, we found that he was the owner of a company called Colorado Land Corporation from 2019 to 2020, at which point the company went first into noncompliance and then into delinquency.

From this we can conclude a few things — first, that Charles Hearn’s online presence is entirely constructed to fit whatever image he thinks would be profitable (for example, by using stock photos instead of pictures of himself); and second, that Timeshare Help Source is certainly not what it appears to be. Unfortunately, though, many timeshare exit companies use tactics like this, and create a seemingly robust online presence in order to appear legitimate when they are far from it.

Timeshare Help Source Reviews

The trend of Timeshare Help Source’s online presence continues with different sources of reviews. Timeshare Help Source is accredited with the BBB, and has several positive reviews there. They are also well-reviewed on Google and have one 5-star Yelp review. We found an abundance of PR-style articles about them as well in our research, all of which used similar language to these glowing reviews.

However, the few complaints Timeshare Help Source has with the BBB are quite resonant. One states:

“I do not and have never owned a timeshare yet Timeshare Help Source continues to contact me regarding selling my timeshare. I was mailed an event invite recently which was followed up by a call to my cell phone from one of their representatives. I advised the representative that I do not own a timeshare and asked her to remove me from their calling/marketing list. She told me “that’s not how this works” and refused. I asked again and then hung up. Keep in mind I should have never been called as my number is on the FTC Do Not Call list and I have never done business with this company nor inquired about their services. Please help educate this company regarding the FTC Do Not Call guidelines as well as just good business practices in general. I have also reporting this violation to the FTC.”

The second is a follow-up to the first:

“I am rejecting this response because: I was asked by the company to provide more information regarding the complaint but I was only provided the options to accept or reject the response. My response: In addition to the mailing and original phone call that prompted my complaint I have received at least 2 other calls from the same third-party marketing company, one later that same day and one the following morning. I answered but because they use an auto-dialer and no representative immediately responded I hung up. To add to my complaint the third-party marketing company contracted by the business is spoofing their phone number to make it appear as the call is coming from a local number which at the least is an extremely unprofessional way to conduct business and at most is illegal to do. … Also why I can understand the companies attempt to distance themselves from the third-party marketing company I sure hope they understand that to the consumer they are effectively one in the same. Regardless of their status as an contracted company the original company is still responsible for ensuring they abide by all laws and should be held responsible for any issues that arise due to the third-party’s ignorance of the law. If these calls continue I will be seeking legal remedy.”

The main reason we are including these complaints, even though there’s only a few, is the use of cold calling as a sales tactic, and the high likelihood that this third party is connected with Timeshare Help Source. Approaching clients with promises of getting them out of a timeshare is a huge red flag, one that cannot be ignored even amidst what appears to be a body of positive reviews. The problem with this dynamic, of course, is how easy it is to fake positive reviews and rely solely on them for reputation management. Usually they are sufficient to evaluate a company as trustworthy or not, but the complexity of this situation cancels that out.

In addition to all of this, we found an interesting post on Reddit by someone named Brandon Gebhardt, which was essentially a promotion for Timeshare Help Source. It’s especially interesting because there is no employee with that name listed on Timeshare Help Source’s website, but the user photo is quite similar to the stock photo used for Charles Hearn.

This user’s posts do not really speak well to Timeshare Help Source having an honest approach. They’re advertisements, simply put, and are generally of this nature:

“When looking for a timeshare exit solution look no further than Timeshare Help Source! The only timeshare exit company that is accredited by the Better Business Bureau with not a single negative review. Timeshare Help Source doesn’t even have a review that is under 5 stars!”

His profile bio is not much better:

“I help unhappy timeshare owners exit their timeshares at Timeshare Help Source.If your looking for an exit solution Timeshare Help Source is the #1 timeshare cancellation company in the country.”

These outlandish claims and rather empty allusions to positive reviews are worthy of skepticism, and they definitely undermine the image that Timeshare Help Source seems to desperately want to emit. Fortunately it is clear enough that the tone of these posts is impersonal and advertise-y, and there was one Reddit user who responded in kind; while most of that thread was removed, what’s still visible is telling enough.

Timeshare Help Source Cost

Costs are not addressed anywhere on Timeshare Help Source’s website. Generally speaking, when it comes to timeshare exit companies, we always suggest finding out cost amounts ahead of time, and getting information on whether or not you can pay through escrow. You can learn more about why escrow is important on this page.

Timeshare Help Source Summary

While positive reviews and BBB accreditation are important, they aren’t everything, and if a timeshare exit company can’t give you information about how they’re going to help you, their promises and presence are virtually meaningless. It is incredibly easy for someone to build a nice website as a front, and then never deliver on their promises. While the reviews do not speak to this (yet), we really do not have a good reason to recommend Timeshare Help Source based on what we could find about them online.

Fortunately, while operations like Timeshare Help Source’s are a bit too common, there are legitimate timeshare exit companies out there. We make a point of reviewing and featuring those that are trustworthy, so people like you can stop being saddled with maintenance fees and overwrought contracts. To explore our list of recommended timeshare exit companies, you can visit this page.

Timeshare Elimination Group Cost

Avoiding Timeshare Exit Scams

Summary

Timeshare Elimination Group is another company that may be able to help you get out of a timeshare. Though it’s unclear when they were founded or where they are located, there are some indications that they are in Costa Mesa, CA; their website is marked as having been created in 2021.

Timeshare Elimination Group Website

The Timeshare Elimination Group website is certainly attention-grabbing — at first glance, the home page has very loud, large calls to action, where they claim to “specialize in timeshare cancellations and terminations worldwide,” and guarantee successful release from timeshare contracts. These are quite outlandish claims to begin with; the somewhat unprofessional look and graphics of this page makes these promises even more difficult to take seriously.

From the Home page, you can navigate to their services (from the “Read More” button) or contact form (“Fill Out the Form” button), or to another page from the top navigation bar. The sections listed are entitled Get Out of Your Timeshare, Can’t Get Out of Your Contract?, and Avoiding Timeshare Resale Scams.

Each of these pages does offer fairly legitimate-seeming information about how people get into timeshares in the first place, and the methods that resorts use to get people to sign up for them. On the Get Out of Your Timeshare page in particular, they include extensive descriptions of the presentations that are typically offered, as well as the different means of getting rid of a timeshare. There’s also decent advice regarding why one should be wary when it comes to the timeshare resale market on the page Avoiding Timeshare Resale Scams, including to “do your research before choosing a company to sell your timeshare,” and to “talk to a timeshare attorney. Many of them offer free consultations. Take advantage of their generosity and find out what your rights and responsibilities are.”

That said, the content on these pages is not well-written. Poor grammar and confusing phrasing both contribute to this problem. It did not give us the impression that the writer necessarily knew what they were talking about; it sounded more like they were simply recycling information that’s already available.

The page Can’t Get Out of Your Contract? in particular is where Timeshare Elimination Group’s promises are described, but even that information is vague. They say, “Our program details your consumer rights and the legal steps used to get you out of your timeshare,” and that they ”have the resources and the expertise to get the timeshare cancellation completed once and for all.” They also allude to having “a proven process,” but the following is about as detailed as they get regarding that:

“This timeshare termination service provides:
- A guaranteed way to void any timeshare mortgage.
- A proven method to cancel any timeshare contract.
- A way out of your ever rising timeshare fees.
- A never before seen insider’s view of the timeshare industry.
- A knowledgeable manager to walk you through the entire cancellation process.
- A simple exit strategy that doesn’t leave your heirs financially responsible.
- Relief, freedom, and peace of mind.”

They also claim, “We also teach you how to get the premium timeshare property weeks for cheaper than you could as a timeshare owner,” which doesn’t seem like something a timeshare exit company should be interested in doing. Overall, it’s a lot of fluff that gets nowhere near to the heart of how Timeshare Elimination Group would actually help you.

In addition to this shortcoming, the website does not provide specific information about Timeshare Elimination Group as a company — meaning, about who owns it, where it is located, and how long it has been around. Searching for this information via Google brought up no results. That said, the main phone number on the website is actually the same phone number (minus the extension) for another timeshare exit company we recently reviewed, Client Protection Group. While this company is BBB-accredited, and has several positive reviews, the fact they are using another avenue to direct traffic their way without being transparent about who owns them is disconcerting.

Timeshare Elimination Group lists another website as the point of contact for getting out of a timeshare contract. Called WeCancelTimeshares, this website looks to be managed by someone called Steve Smith — a name that came up in Client Protection Group’s reviews — and has a few different websites and blogs (via Weebly and WordPress) that offer similar information, as well as a Pinterest page (with a few infographics saved) that says they’re located in California. They claim: “We Match Timeshare Owners with Timeshare Transfer companies, Timeshare Liquidation companies, and Timeshare Cancellation Law Firms, depending on each individual case.”

But their writing, like that of Timeshare Elimination Group’s website, is overall pretty devoid of substance. Not only that, but neither Timeshare Elimination Group nor WeCancelTimeshares came up in a business entity search, either in California or elsewhere. The WeCancelTimeshares websites all use the right keywords and phrases to discuss timeshare scams and timeshare exit, though, so we could only further conclude that these hubs exist to send people to Client Protection Group without outright saying that they do so.

Needless to say, this isn’t a very trustworthy practice. While every company has the right to advertise their services, this is shadier than outright advertising. It’s more of a front for doing business with Client Protection Group. That we could only find this connection by looking up Timeshare Elimination Group’s phone number makes it even more likely this is the case, and essentially impossible for us to evaluate this company as legitimate.

Timeshare Elimination Group Reviews

Since there was no business ownership information for Timeshare Elimination Group that we could find, there weren’t any reviews available, either. If you’d like to read about the reviews available for Client Protection Group, you can read our review of their company here.

Ultimately, we suggest working with a company that has been around long enough to have accessible online reviews on pages such as Yelp, Google, and the BBB that reflect their successes. All of the companies that we recommend have this in common; to learn more about which companies we encourage people to work with, visit this page.

Timeshare Elimination Group Cost

Costs are not listed on the Timeshare Elimination Group website. They do claim to offer a free consultation as well as a money-back guarantee; the latter is something we do not recommend engaging with. Generally speaking, money-back guarantees are another way of asking for upfront payments, which isn’t a good way to do business with a timeshare exit company. Instead, we always recommend working with a company that uses escrow for payment. You can learn more about why escrow is important on this page.

Avoiding Timeshare Exit Scams

The timeshare exit industry is unfortunately full of fraudulent businesses, as well as practices like these. The following are a few tips you can keep in mind to avoid any future scams while looking for a company that can actually help you leave a timeshare:

Don’t believe everything you read. Many scam companies rely upon using common industry phrases, but either do not use them properly or do not have information to back them up. They also tend to make exaggerated promises. A legitimate company will not overpromise in this way, and will give you the full details on how their process works.
Keep an eye out for upfront payments and/or nontraditional payment methods. Requests to pay via wire transfers or prepaid money cards are major red flags, but so are demands for upfront fees that do not use escrow, as well as agreements that do not have written contracts. No money-back guarantee is enough to promise that you will get a refund if a service does not go as planned.
Resist pressure to act quickly or pay for a service immediately. A trustworthy timeshare exit company will not attempt to push you into an agreement before you are ready. High-pressure sales tactics are huge red flags, and point to a company you want to avoid working with.
Always ask about licensing, identification, and insurance when it comes to local businesses. To get a better idea of which local businesses are trustworthy and reputable, always be sure to get more information about their licenses and insurance. Checking identification is wise as well, especially when it comes to businesses that deal with your money and personal information.

Summary

Based on several factors, including the fact that no company information exists for Timeshare Elimination Group, the likelihood that they’re simply a front for Client Protection Group to acquire more clients, and the fact that they are not actually a business, we certainly cannot recommend trying to exit a timeshare with them. It truly sounds like, if not an outright scam, just another means of taking your money before you give the real timeshare exit company even more money.

When it comes to getting out of a timeshare, you should be able to get everything you need from one reputable source, and not have to base your trust solely on money-back guarantees. Furthermore, you should know exactly who will be working on your contract, and what their professional background is. Fortunately, there are a handful of companies that we have found to be reputable and legitimate, and can definitely help you with your situation. You can review the list of companies we recommend on this page.

And if you still have questions about this company, another company, or getting out of timeshares in general, you can give us a call at 833-416-8796, initiate the live chat, or fill out the chat, or fill out the contact form on the right side of the page.

Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting Review

Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting Website

Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting Reviews

Summary

Timeshareclaim.net is the website for Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting, a Spain-based timeshare exit company that has been active since 2015 and may be able to help you get out of a timeshare.

Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting Website

At first glance, the Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting website looks very professional; it has a clean design, and smooth navigation. The home page has a well-made video that introduces the company and its founder. In some places, the copy is a bit stilted and hard to read; this could potentially be chalked up to it being English in translation, though some of the phrases used did not exactly seem well thought out or meaningful.

Overall there are several different landing pages and sections that give the reader a good idea of how Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting operates, and the results that they’ve achieved with past clients. Specifically, Rulings speaks to cases that have closed and contracts that have been nullified for past clients. The page Exit Plan gives an overview of how Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting works through canceling timeshares. The steps are specific, and the timeline provided looks realistic.

Their “about” section, entitled Know Us, does list their staff entirely, although there aren’t many details or last names, so it proved difficult to find any further background information on these individuals, aside from Maria Martinez, the CO (since her last name is included in the video noted above), and attorney Pedro Miranda Guillén, since it is listed that he works with the associated law firm AB ECO Group.

The professionalism of the rest of the website, unfortunately, is somewhat lost when it comes to their blog, the page TRC News. The content there gets fairly muddled within each post, and is hard to follow. While there could be several reasons for this, the most likely is that it is not a huge point of focus for the website, which is unfortunate since it’s a good means of learning more about the character of a company.

Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting Reviews

While we did not find reviews of Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting on Google, Yelp, or Facebook, the website Timeshare Business Check summarizes some feedback on this company from several people’s contributions. Notably, the page for Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting says:

“Consumers have reported unsolicited contact from this company. If initial contact was unsolicited – a cold call or email or text out of the blue, it gives rise to concerns as to whether your data has been acquired and used legally. Unsolicited contact by phone, text or email is likely to be a breach of data protection laws and it is recommended that it is reported to the appropriate national data authority.”

“This business provides a number of different addresses…mails from this business state the address is Edificio Mercurio Torre I, Av. de Tirajana 37, 35100 Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Spain — The T&Cs page list the contact address as C / Slovakia 25, 35120 Mogán, Las Palmas — The Infocil site gives the business address for Sakbo Spain SL as C/ Eslovaquia 25, Tauro 35140, Mogan, Las Palmas.”

These notes, while not reasons to dismiss this company outright, are certainly cause for concern. It should be straightforward to determine where a timeshare exit company operates, first of all, even if they have more than one office. Furthermore, unsolicited contact is a major red flag; we do not recommend engaging with companies who approach potential customers, as that is typically a means of taking advantage of and otherwise pressuring them into working together.

The blog Inside Timeshare — one that aggregates news about timeshares and exit companies in Europe — had further, somewhat similar information about this company. Specifically, they noted in a post from Jan. 2019 that a few companies associated with Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting had become notorious for cold calling as well.

“Inside Timeshare has received information about another Cold Calling company Sim Legal Services, this in itself is not a problem provided that Data Protection laws are adhered to, the problem is the nature of the calls. The company is owned by Jeroen Martijn Brussel…there do seem to be some very serious concerns about Sim Legal Services, with the mention of several other companies they appear to be linked with. JB Legal and Timeshare Reclaim Consulting.”

They added:

“Timeshare Reclaim Consulting do have a website and are known to Inside Timeshare, although we have never had any concern or reason to mention them in any article.”

And went on to say:

“The question is, are the management of TRC aware of the tactics of Sim Legal Services, the fact that they are making accusations against a competitor who is in the same vicinity and happens to be the leading law firm in timeshare litigation, in order to talk clients into signing up with them and then passing them to TRC?”

They then go on to say that Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting has been associated with another company whose practices have historically been questionable, known as Mindtimeshare. Mindtimeshare appears to be another aggregate that once seemed to focus on highlighting fraudulent timeshare companies, but in actuality was run by Alberto Garcia, a now-discredited individual who was also connected to the Resorts Development Organization (RDO). It’s been reported that once Mindtimeshare got people’s information, they passed it off to marketing companies who ended up hounding people with high-pressure sales tactics.

Furthermore, RDO is a resort-funded trade organization that is not only notorious for capitalizing off of timeshare misinformation, but also fairly fraudulent in itself.

The connections there go even deeper; here’s what the article continues to say about it:

“In another strange enquiry, we have been asked what is mindtimeshare doing now?

It appears that they have moved on from being a consumer association to something else. Our enquirer has told us that mindtimeshare is actively emailing those who have contacted them and recommending a firm for taking out litigation against clients timeshare companies. Apparently it appears that this company is TRC, mentioned above.”

Reviews of Mindtimeshare on Trustpilot confirm all of the above, and leave them with a 2.4 out of 5 star rating.

Ultimately, considering the history of Mindtimeshare, this association is not only problematic, but also a huge red flag. It’s quite difficult to ignore, no matter how professional this company appears to be on the surface.

Timeshareclaim.net / Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting Cost

We did not find any cost-related information about Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting, either on their website or in general. They do have several warnings on their website about not making payments ahead of time to any timeshare claim company, so that is a positive sign; we always abide by the rule that it’s best to work with a timeshare exit company who uses escrow for payment. You can learn more about escrow and why it’s important on this page.

That said, there is no copy related to whether or not they request as much. If you want to find out more about potentially working with this company, you can easily contact them via their website form.

Summary

While Timeshare Reclaim and Consulting appears to have established some clout as a timeshare exit company, the information we found about some of their practices makes it difficult to recommend their services. If you are in Spain and need to work with a timeshare exit company to help with a situation you’re stuck in, it may be worth it to continue your search and find someone who is more reputable and trustworthy.

Fortunately, in spite of there being many operations like this one, there are also several trustworthy timeshare exit companies that can help you with what you need. To read more about which companies we recommend and why they’re worth considering, visit this page.

If there is more you want to learn about one of these companies, or timeshare exit in general, you can get in touch with us. Give us a call at 833-416-8796, initiate the live chat, or fill out the contact form on the right side of the page to get started.

Timeshare Association Network Review

Timeshare Association Network Website

Timeshare Association Network Reviews

Timeshare Association Network Cost

Summary

Timeshareassociation.net is the website for Timeshare Association Network, a company with offices in London and Madrid that may be able to help you get out of a timeshare. They have been active since June 2021.

Timeshare Association Network Website

Right off the bat, it was hard to not be skeptical of Timeshare Association Network’s promises considering the fact that they were founded so recently. Their website, at first, made this skepticism a bit difficult: in terms of design, it looks great. The navigation is also smooth and easy to use, and the pages are highly responsive.

However, when we started reading the actual content, that first impression faded quickly. It would be easy for someone in a desperate situation to get taken in by how nice the website appears. But the website copy reveals very little about who actually runs Timeshare Association Network, how they operate, and what their processes are.

Specifically, the first few pages in the navigation — Make a Claim and Cancel Your Timeshare — are quite devoid of anything substantial. Make a Claim is simply another “contact us” page, saying that “If you don’t know which route is right for you or where to start, our team of advisors are ready to talk and advise you on the best course of action for you,” without giving any information about what that course of action could look like.

Meanwhile, Cancel Your Timeshare looks like it describes the contract nullification process in full. But reading closely shows that it’s fairly superficial, definitely circular, and overall doesn’t necessarily say anything a reader wouldn’t already know:

“Lets take a look at cancelling your timeshare contract. It may be that making a lawsuit or claim is not the best route for you given the amount you paid for your contract, it could well be that it is not profitable to proceed with a claim. Alternatively the recovery of monies may not be important to you but what you want is to get out of the legal obligations of your timeshare contract which is paying those extortionate maintenance fees each and every year.”

“The cancellation plan is a low cost legal process which requires the involvement of our legal clerks and lawyers, it does not require the presentation of a claim through the courts. With this process, our lawyers will initiate the ‘unilateral cancellation’ of your contract…”

This language may be accurate about the cancellation of a timeshare, but it still does not give Timeshare Association Network any credence as far as being the company you should choose to enact it.

The page Why Us is where one would expect to get more specific information about the team’s professional background, but even that is lacking. Instead, they make the outlandish statement that they “are successful in 100% of our legal claims,” and do not feature a single individual’s name or title — not even the person presumably on the Home page. There is a stock photo of a corporate team standing in for the “Timeshare Association Network Legal Team” (their caption), and the statement, “We can promise you our team of experienced lawyers and specialist legal consultants work in the best interest of you the client under FULL confidentiality regulations.” However, this promise seems quite empty, as the reader gets no sense as to who these lawyers and specialists actually are.

On that note, while the Home page does feature someone named Richard Madsen, a “Legal Timeshare Expert,” further research led us nowhere insofar as finding out who he is or what his professional background is, and his name is nowhere else on the Timeshare Association Network website, including the Why Us page.

Finally, and perhaps most significantly, there’s a link in the footer navigation to Timeshare Association Network’s “Corporate Website” that leads to the website for CGO Media Ltd, a marketing and design agency that claims to have multiple clients from different industries. This could, in theory, explain the quality of the website at least on a visual level. However, a closer look showed us that Timeshare Association Network and CGO Media Ltd are, in fact, one and the same.

This is actually there in writing in the website footer, all the way at the bottom of each page: “Timeshare Association Network is a trading name of CGO Media Ltd.” More than anything else noted here, this is indicative that Timeshare Association Network is not what it seems, and certainly has no business making any kind of timeshare cancellation promises to anyone.

Timeshare Association Network Reviews

Though Timeshare Association Network does not have reviews on Google, Yelp, or Facebook, the website Timeshare Business Check summarizes feedback on this company from others’ contributions. It overall confirms exactly what we concluded from reviewing their website — that there is no real information about how Timeshare Association Network operates, and that they are the same business as CGO Media Ltd.

Specifically, they list the following under Observations/Comments:

“The images of Richard Madsen and the legal team are stock images.”
“The website was registered 7 June 2021 and ownership details have not been disclosed.”
“The business is not regulated in terms of acting on behalf of consumers in regulated activities, such as making claims under the Consumer Credit Act or legal representation in court. It is therefore advisable to seek information in writing from them as to what precise process will be undertaken for the fees and what regulated persons or businesses would act as representatives where this is legally necessary.”

It is helpful to have this information verified. We also found it helpful to confirm it by researching CGO Media Ltd a bit further. That was how we found their Facebook page, which has 50 reviews, all of which are obviously fake. They’re all from Dec. 2013 and state over-the-top adoration for CGO (“Best page I ever seen,” “I really fall in love of the page,” “Everybody will get the most information from this page,” etc.) while awarding five stars.

Timeshare Association Network Cost

Cost is hardly addressed on the Timeshare Association Network website, aside from the company’s promise of a free consultation. On the off chance that you were to get in touch with this company to find out more about what they charge, we would first and foremost remind you that you should never engage with a timeshare exit company that requires upfront payment. This is a huge red flag, and usually indicative of a scam (not that we needed any further red flags to evaluate Timeshare Association Network as such).

We only recommend timeshare exit companies and professionals who use escrow for payment. Escrow is important because it means the company does not get paid until your contract has been cancelled, and you are completely satisfied with their work. You can learn more about escrow and why we recommend companies that use it on this page.

Summary

It does not take much to see that Timeshare Association Network is not a legitimate business and far from the first place you should look when you need to cancel a timeshare in Spain. Unfortunately, scams like theirs are incredibly common, but that does not mean they’re the only option for timeshare exit. We created this website to help people like you filter through what’s available, and find legitimate and trustworthy timeshare exit companies. To review the list of companies that we recommend based on thorough reviews, you can visit this page.

If you still have questions about your situation, or timeshare exit in general, please feel free to get in touch. You can do so by calling 833-416-8796, initiating the live chat, or filling out the contact form on the right side of the page.

Javier Correa Guimera Review

Javier Correa Guimera Website

Javier Correa Guimera Reviews

Javier Correa Guimera Cost

Summary

Javier Correa Guimerá is a lawyer based in Spain who focuses on timeshare exit cases and may be able to help you get out of a timeshare. He has been licensed to practice since 1990, and is registered with the Las Palmas Bar Association.

Javier Correa Guimera Website

Correa Guimerá’s website is something of a personalized page — it looks and feels a lot like a WordPress blog, which isn’t necessarily a negative, as it is mostly easy to navigate and to find information on it. Generally, the tone of the content strikes a good balance between personable and professional. He appears to update the blog section quite regularly, especially with posts about issues with Anfi, a European timeshare company and resort group that seems, based on what we could find, to scam people quite regularly.

It’s on the blog where you’ll also find information about past and recent cases, which generally aim for a result of nullifying timeshare contracts. He does provide a great deal of detail here, and while some of the legal jargon might be trickier for a layperson to delve into, it’s generally easy to read and understand. This is a pretty reassuring detail as it gives more context to the work Correa Guimerá does in the absence of online reviews — something we’ll explore later on in this review.

In general it’s a bilingual site, meaning that there are both English and Spanish versions of several of the posts and pages. Since what is in English appears to be in translation, that content can be a bit difficult to read, but this isn’t an issue as much as it is something to pay attention to while reading.

Links to Correa Guimerá’s social media pages are included, and a quick look into these shows that he is also quite active there, especially on Twitter. His Facebook page does not have any reviews and appears a bit less active than his Twitter account.

Correa Guimerá’s bio provides an extensive recount of his general background and legal expertise. He has experience as a partner at other law firms as well as a solo practitioner, which is a solid plus. Overall, it is refreshing to have the specific history of a timeshare professional so clearly stated on their website.

Javier Correa Guimera Reviews

It was difficult to find reviews of Correa Guimerá’s work as a lawyer in the typical places, including Google, Facebook, and Yelp. This we found a bit curious, considering how long he has been a practicing lawyer. However, in part this could potentially be chalked up to a difference in cultural standards of reviewing businesses, as we did not find reviews of other Spanish timeshare exit companies on these platforms either.

We did find a number of in-industry testimonials, which are helpful to a degree, as they indicate that Correa Guimerá is known and esteemed for his work as a timeshare exit lawyer.

Specifically, we found that UK-based The Timeshare Association, a hub for European timeshare and timeshare exit company reviews that serves a similar purpose to this website, cited as much. Their words were that he is “respected by many professional lawyers.”

Likewise, the website Timeshare Business Check serves as an aggregate of timeshare-related businesses’ online presence and track records. It’s helpful in that it points out concerns and red flags. There are none listed for Javier Correa Guimerá on his page, which can be found through a simple Google search for “timeshare business check Javier Correa.”

Correa Guimerá is also noted as a reputable source on the European timeshare forum TimeshareTalk. On another forum, MoneySavingExpert, a user recommended him to someone struggling with a timeshare in Spain, saying “You would really need to consult a Spanish lawyer who specializes in Timeshare, a person who could help you is Javier…Javier is a long time contributor to TimeshareTalk and has helped people in the past.” This seems to indicate a level of engagement with the timeshare exit community in Europe that is consistent and authentic. This user’s post history seems to indicate that he is not actually Correa Guimerá himself, so that’s another plus.

In another post on TimeshareTalk, a forum administrator shared a news piece that not only offered further information on Correa Guimerá and his perspective, but also on how complicated timeshare issues can be in Spain and Europe in general. This is also fairly easy to find with a quick Google search for “Javier Correa Guimerá timeshare talk.” But to briefly summarize, most of the timeshares in Spain are in the Canary Islands, where their owners more often than not are known for swindling tourists. The Spanish Supreme Court hit several of these resorts with charges of fraud in the 2010s.

Correa Guimerá’s comments were mostly related to how this was possible in the first place:

“The crux of the matter is that this business was launched before there was any legislation on the matter,” The legal void of the timeshare was fading with the years: in January 1999 a European directive of 1994 ( Law 42/98 ) was transposed , “which tried to bring order to madness, completely deregulated”, says Correa Guimerá. That law was fundamentally about addressing two problems that occurred with time sharing : “the question of the term and the indeterminacy of the object,” the lawyer points out.”

Basically, the laws around timeshare ownership in Europe were always vague enough to easily be taken advantage of before they became overly deregulated in recent years. Lifetime contracts are not uncommon, but lately there has been more action taken to define these kinds of contracts as illegal and give buyers refunds.

Correa Guimerá has also been a contributor to the blog Inside Timeshare, another website focused on the European timeshare industry and particularly on unearthing fraudulent and questionable activity. A post from Sept. 2017 (“Start the Week”) cites that he emailed the blog owner a tip about a fake law firm that was running a scam; that post notes as well that he regularly posts timeshare tips on forums.

“Over the weekend Inside Timeshare received an email from Javier Correa Guimerá, a Spanish lawyer who…posts on various forums answering many question on timeshare matters.

His email referred to the articles published last week on the new fake law firm Amador Galeca Abogados, part of the Litigious Abogados family. He was commenting on the very strange names these so-called law firms use for their lawyers, he states they are not even Spanish, just by seeing the names he is sure it is a scam.

Another point he made was about the directors pleading guilty, asking where in this world would a timeshare company accept responsibility, willingly and pay up?

In this we must agree with him, we have never heard of any timeshare company accepting any responsibility or pleading guilty, quite the contrary, they always seem to deny any wrongdoing. All we can say is Inside Timeshare has made extensive enquiries about all these firms, searched for the lawyers, checked the cases with the courts and not one has proved positive.

Finally, we did find other footnotes about Correa Guimerá on the websites for TESS Law and Legal Claim Funder Ltd., two UK-based businesses that specialize in timeshare exit. From this we can further conclude that he is essentially an active member of the European timeshare exit community, and collaborates with other legal experts on a regular basis.

Javier Correa Guimera Cost

Cost is not cited on Correa Guimerá’s website, aside from the mention of free consultations being available. As noted above, the website also claims a “no win, no fee” policy, which can be promising, in that it isn’t a money-back guarantee, thus seems to imply that he does not require upfront payments. This is positive, as getting involved with companies and attorneys who demand as much is not something we recommend. Instead, you should always be sure you’re working with a company that uses escrow for payment. You can learn more about why escrow is important on this page.

Summary

Exploring Correa Guimerá’s online presence and background in timeshare law has brought us to the conclusion that, while his firm is worth looking into if you are in Spain and need assistance, it’s also a good idea to tread carefully before deciding to move forward. Since he has so few reviews, it’s hard to say outright that his work speaks for itself. But the support we found for his work on those forums cited above, and the fact that he does have a strong online presence (albeit in a different way than usual) was positive enough to not dismiss him as a timeshare lawyer. Overall, if you are looking for a lawyer like Javier Correa Guimerá, take advantage of the free consultation, find out as much as you can about his past cases, and be sure to never pay ahead of time for any services.

If you are curious about other routes that can help you get out of a timeshare, there are several timeshare exit attorneys and companies that can help you. We created this website in order to help people like you find trustworthy timeshare exit companies. To read more about which companies we recommend and why we prefer them, visit this page.

If you still have questions about this or another lawyer or company, or timeshare exit in general, feel free to get in touch with us. You can give us a call at 833-416-8796, initiate the live chat, or fill out the contact form on the right side of the page to do so.

Timeshare Owner Justice Review

Timeshare Owner Justice Reviews

Timeshare Owner Justice Cost

Summary

Timeshare Owner Justice is a timeshare exit company located in Boulder, CO, that may be able to help you exit your timeshare. They were founded in Oct. 2020, so have been in business for a little less than one year at the time of this review’s writing.

Timeshare Owner Justice Website

Our impression of the website for Timeshare Owner Justice is not a very strong one, upon extensive review. While it’s complete, in that it has plenty of general content about their processes and timeshare exit in general, it is neither very easy to read nor professional-looking. There are several kinds of fonts used on each page, and extremely long paragraphs that are somewhat repetitive. This is particularly the case on the Our Story and Our Process pages (both of which can be accessed via the top navigation bar, which is, in contrast, quite straightforward).

This is especially unfortunate in the case of the Our Process page, because this is the part of the website a potential customer would definitely want to spend the most time reading and learning from. But Timeshare Owner Justice isn’t very transparent about the details of their process — aside from saying they work with a “team of advocates and legal professionals” and that their “process exerts a lot of pressure utilizing consumer protection laws, as well as regulatory and government agencies.” They say that their “proven exit strategies” are “revolutionary and proprietary” but at no point say what those strategies are.

There is slightly more to this end on the page Our Services. That said, it speaks more to their goals in managing the timeshare exit process than what they actually do, aside from “apply[ing] pressure,” “go[ing] after [timeshare companies],” and “DEMAND[ING] that Timeshare companies correct any negative credit information they have reported.” We can speak to the goals that they list, which include the following:

Timeshare Contract Cancellation
Maintenance Fee Contract Cancellation
Mortgage Cancellation
Timeshare Claim Refund
Timeshare Exit Scam Money Recovery
Timeshare Education
Credit Repair

However, again, this is not going to be news to anyone who owns a timeshare and wants to get out of it. You are definitely going to want a bit more information than this.

The FAQ page does have a few more details about timeshare exit in general, and divulges slightly more about the overall process. Under the question “How does Timeshare Owner Justice get me out of my timeshare contract?”, they note:

“Timeshare Owner Justice has developed proprietary strategies and an aggressive process that will push back against the timeshare companies and sales agents and force them to be held accountable. We accomplish this through a combination of expertise and tenacity, application of specific consumer protections and codes as well as the unique strategy of drafting and filing specifically targeted complaints with the agencies and entities that oversee and regulate the industry. This will pressure the timeshare companies to release you of your obligation.”

While this is somewhat vague, it is perhaps detailed enough to satisfy a timeshare owner who needs help getting out of their contract. The other FAQs are similar in that, however nonspecific they come across, they use the right language about timeshares and seem to understand how to end a contract. However, all of this is, again, undermined by the look of the website, and by the nature of the content. Their page Why Us underscores this with its repetitive phrases and constant use of words like “pressure” and “aggressive,” supposedly to convince you that they will not go easy on the resort.

Ultimately, there seems to be a great deal of fluff on this website, which isn’t a red flag in and of itself, but it doesn’t really speak to this company having a great deal of substance when it comes to getting people out of their timeshares. We’d be more inclined to positively review a website that offered important information with far fewer words and repetition.

Timeshare Owner Justice Reviews

Seeing as Timeshare Owner Justice is a fairly new timeshare exit company, we did not find many reviews of their services, but there were a handful on TrustPilot and their BBB page. The six reviews on their TrustPilot page have given them 4.2 out of 5 stars; they are all straightforward and speak to their helping people get out of timeshare contracts. A few note that Timeshare Owner Justice did so after the customer in question was scammed by another timeshare exit company.

While Timeshare Owner Justice currently holds an A- rating with the BBB, they’re also unaccredited. This is something to keep in mind, because even though they have a handful of positive reviews on their BBB page, accreditation does not take a long time to complete. Their being in business for a brief period of time is more of a red flag than a reason for their lack of accreditation. When looking for a timeshare exit company, you should be sure that the one you choose has this verification in place.

Timeshare Owner Justice Cost

There isn’t a great deal of information in the way of what working with Timeshare Owner Justice will cost you. It is addressed on the FAQ page. Specifically, they say, “Each case is specific but the cost is significantly less than our competitors.” While this is not exactly helpful, you could conceivably use this “standard” to get quotes from other companies that you research, and then cite them in trying to get a quote from Timeshare Owner Justice. This would only be in the case of you calling them for a free consultation, which they, like many other timeshare exit companies, do offer.

One potential positive (though again, it’s unclear based on their wording and language) is their lack of reliance on a money-back guarantee. Typically, if a timeshare exit company uses this constantly on their website, it means that they require upfront payments. This is a major red flag, and we always warn timeshare owners to avoid any company that demands as much. Instead, look for a company that uses escrow for payment — this means that they do not get paid until their work releasing you from your contract is complete. You can learn more about why escrow is important on this page.

If you decide to get in touch with Timeshare Owner Justice, this is important to keep in mind so you don’t jump into working with them too hastily. Make sure that you are completely clear on what fees they require and what you’re being asked to do before you get started.

Summary

While Timeshare Owner Justice appears to be off to a decent start with their few past clients, there really isn’t enough information online for us to recommend them. If you are truly curious about working with them, you can more than likely gauge how professional they are via their free consultation. If and when you go this route, be sure to find out if they operate with escrow-style payments or upfront payments.

Otherwise, unless they build up a bigger backlog of successful timeshare exit cases, achieve BBB accreditation, and seriously refine their online presence, Timeshare Owner Justice will appear to be somewhat middling. It will be hard to gauge how trustworthy they really are until that happens.

Fortunately, there are several other timeshare exit companies that can help you with your situation. We created this website in order to connect people like you with excellent timeshare exit companies who can actually release you from your contract with a resort or vacation property owner. To read more about which companies we recommend and why we prefer them, visit this page.

If you still have questions about your situation, this company, or timeshare exit in general, feel free to get in touch with us. You can give us a call at 833-416-8796, initiate the live chat, or fill out the contact form on the right side of the page to do so.

What to Look for in a Timeshare Exit Company

Summary

Montgomery & Newcomb, LLC is a law firm that may be able to help you get out of a timeshare. They are located in Springfield, MO, and have been operating since 2018.

Montgomery and Newcomb Website

We found that Montgomery and Newcomb gives a fairly professional impression with their website, thetimeshareattorney.com. (Please note that this is the address of their newer, updated website — there is an older website, montgomerynewcomb.com, that is slightly easier to find but not their current hub.)

This website is easy to navigate, the design is clean and simple, and the content has substantial information about their staff as well as their practice areas. Montgomery and Newcomb’s website speaks to their having experience in not only timeshare exit, but also real estate law, pharmaceutical cases, and personal injury law.

When it comes to the timeshare exit portions of their website, the impression is a little more of a mixed bag. The Process page (accessed under “About Us” in the navigation) does not necessarily go in-depth as to how Montgomery and Newcomb cancels a timeshare, but it does note how they evaluate a case and what they pursue from a resort or timeshare company after that initial case review. There are also some notes on what to do about maintenance fees that could prove helpful to a timeshare owner.

Beyond this, there is a page called Why Our Firm? which addresses their lengthy experience in the legal field as well as the typical claims made in timeshare sales presentations. Their supposed “75 years of experience” is almost certainly combined, considering the fact that the firm itself was founded so recently; the list of “Top 22 Lies Frequently Told During Timeshare Sales Presentations” is probably familiar territory to most timeshare owners. It is not necessarily anything special that they can speak to these typical claims. If anything, it simply demonstrates that they are knowledgeable of what parts of the timeshare industry get an emotional rise out of people, and may remind you of what you’ve gone through in order to encourage you to do business with them.

There’s also a page called Timeshare Cost that includes a “Timeshare Maintenance Fee Calculator.” Again, depending on how you view this it could either be helpful or somewhat manipulative. Odds are good that, if you’re looking for a timeshare exit company, you’re aware of how high your maintenance fees can be, so this is probably not new information to you, and in fact is quite fresh in your mind. Knowing how much you could expect to pay to get out of your timeshare — information that we could not find on Montgomery and Newcomb’s website — would probably be far more helpful.

Montgomery and Newcomb Reviews

Unfortunately, having a decent-looking and professional website does not always imply that a business is trustworthy. This appears to be the situation with Montgomery and Newcomb. When we looked into their online reviews, we found that they are significantly mixed. Their Google reviews, to start with, include both very positive, grateful comments, as well as negative, frustrated comments. It’s hard to draw a conclusion from this conflicting feedback.

Their BBB page, on the other hand, says they have an A rating, but that they are unaccredited. It also hosts some serious complaints that put Montgomery and Newcomb at 3.5 out of 5 stars. A few of these negative reviews are as follows:

“My wife and I are really tired of being scammed by attorneys. This complaint/problem is with promises made by a Springfield, Mo firm by the name of Montgomery & Newcomb. They had accepted money to help us get out of a fraudulent timeshare situation. They signed us up for their services with lots of promises on January 1, 2019. After their letter saying their process may take as much as 12 months, they have sent only one letter to the resort firm that had taken advantage of us. Naturally, that produced nothing.” (From Jan. 2020)
“After two years Montgomery/Newcomb provided no evidence that they took any action to terminate my timeshare agreement. As far as I could determine they took my money and did nothing.” (From Apr. 2021)
After 3 years of no action on our terminating our timeshare I have asked that we be removed from the Lawsuit so that we can utilize the program the timeshare is offering to get rid of it. Huge waste of money. (From May 2021)

We cannot overlook these kinds of comments, as they are not only huge red flags, but also indicative of fairly common practices in the timeshare exit industry. Many people end up paying attorneys or timeshare exit companies ahead of time, and end up never hearing from those companies again. They’re then still stuck with their timeshare and all of its associated fees. This is a situation you definitely want to avoid, as it doubles down on the experiences you’ve already had with your timeshare in the first place, so it’s important that you carefully evaluate the legitimacy of a timeshare exit law firm or company’s promises and claims.

Montgomery and Newcomb Cost

As we cited regarding the website, there is not much information in the way of costs you can anticipate from Montgomery and Newcomb. Their website does not speak to a money-back guarantee, which at first glance should be a positive, as it seems to imply that they do not require upfront payments. However, like the reviews above say, people’s experiences have said otherwise. While they definitely offer free consultations — something to take advantage of when it comes to most timeshare exit companies and law firms — that certainly isn’t a foundation for a recommendation, nor does it indicate that working with them will be reasonable or affordable.

As we’ve outlined elsewhere on this site, working with a reputable attorney to exit your timeshare can be quite effective, but may also run you a higher cost. This is especially true if you owe a mortgage on the property. It can also turn out to be a more collaborative process, and require more time and effort on your part. So given Montgomery and Newcomb’s complaints, we would recommend treading carefully in this area.

What to Look for in a Timeshare Exit Company

Given the nature of what we could find about Montgomery and Newcomb, it’s important that we note what you should look for in a timeshare exit company or law firm. Businesses like theirs are not uncommon in the timeshare exit industry — meaning, it’s easy to find companies that appear to be highly professional but don’t have a great track record.

So what should you look for in terms of green flags? What is indicative of a trustworthy timeshare exit company? To begin with, whatever company you choose should have a solid reputation, and they should also use escrow for payment. This means that the company does not get paid until your timeshare has been completely canceled. You can learn more about why escrow is important on this page.

A few other qualities you should look for in a timeshare exit company include the following:

An A (or higher) rating with the BBB, accreditation, and few (if any) complaints
Several years in business
A physical office address rather than a PO box
A professional-looking website
A written contract for any services rendered

There are several companies that can speak to having these qualities, and we are committed to researching them thoroughly and featuring them on this website. You can review a list of our recommended companies on this page. All of them have a great track record of success in getting people out of their timeshare contracts, and have proven themselves to be legitimate and trustworthy.

Summary

Resort Exit Group is a timeshare exit service located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. They are placed right smack dab in the middle of where some high yield timeshare resorts are located, and they claim to have been in business since 2002. Even though they claim they have that many years of experience behind them, we don’t believe for a moment that this company is all it claims to be.

Resort Exit Group Website Review

If there were a website to review here we would review it, but unfortunately there isn’t. When you navigate to Resort Exit Group’s website you’ll find the shell of a domain with a link at the top right that asks you to renew now. The real disparity here is that there seems to be at least something of a presence on their Better Business Bureau profile, so it is strange that they’d let their website fall out of service.

While we don’t exactly have a website to review, we can talk about why a company that has allegedly been in business since 2002 would let its website go down. We can take a look at their reviews to try and puzzle out if this is a scam or just an old company that has gone defunct. It is highly possible that the company used to be legitimate but went out of business during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The strangest thing we can find from their Better Business Bureau page is that while they have apparently been in business for 19 years, all six of their reviews are from 2019. This seems odd to us as you would think a company that’s been around that long would have some sort of following whether that’s good or bad. Both positive and negative reviews are normal for a company that is nearly two decades old and with only six available that are positive from the same year, it looks fishy.

The fact that all of the reviews are within two months of each other in 2019 and there are none from the years before, we aren’t given much confidence that this supposedly long-standing company actually has the history they claim to. Googling can also tell you that there is a startling lack of any information regarding this company beyond a little bit of info on their Better Business Bureau page and an empty Yelp profile.

You can’t gauge any legitimacy from this company from anything you’ll find on the internet and if you look up the supposed manager you won’t find much either. There will be a few vague things you’ll find on Google about James Roswell, but there’s nothing definitive to say that it’s actually the man managing the Resort Exit Group. They are also not accredited by the Better Business Bureau, so you’re left to just wonder if the company is a scam or just a poorly managed group that’s gone out of business recently.

This kind of uncertainty should be enough to convince you that Resort Exit Group isn’t worth your time, but if you want to get an idea of what a timeshare scam looks like you can take a look at what we regard as ‘red flags’. One of which is avoiding companies that lack any sort of online presence. If there is no website and very few reviews to go off of you won’t be able to tell if the company is legitimate or helpful at all. Ratings and reviews tend to be the only thing potential clients can go off of to tell how a company will be before they contact them.

Companies that aren’t accredited by the Better Business Bureau should also be avoided as the BBB tends to be the gauge for how successful a company is at what they claim to be experts in.

Resort Exit Group Reviews

There are only six reviews available on the Better Business Bureau profile, and those six reviews are all from May and June of 2019. This is alarming as their website isn’t even active anymore so we can’t tell how long they’ve been offline. This makes us question the legitimacy of these most recent reviews, especially paired with the lack of reviews from any year before. This wouldn’t be so bad if this company has only been in business for a few years, but they’ve allegedly been in business for nearly two decades.

The reviews aren’t too similar in nature, so on that front, we don’t doubt the legitimacy. They are all relatively thorough and vary in length with personal stories added to most of them. Their Better Business Bureau page also mentions their profile was created in 2017, so if we’re going off of that we come to a few conclusions. They have likely only been active since 2017 and the supposed two decades of experience may be due to those who were on their staff when they started.

In addition to this, we can be led to believe that if they only just started in 2017 and their most recent reviews were in 2019, they were likely a new company still when the pandemic hit. This would make sense as to why their website is shut down and they are lacking any reviews before 2019. Some timeshare contract cancellations take 12 months to two years, so if the reviews are all from 2019 they got started right away with their clients and finished off their contracts in a relatively speedy timeframe.

Without any website or further reviews, there isn’t likely to be anything left of this company if it ever was legitimate in the first place. We are leaning more towards the company that had once been legitimate but is now defunct, but they could easily have been a scam regardless. With the lack of track record and legitimizing information, it is unlikely that this company is still legitimate if it ever was in the first place.

They have at least four of the red flags that constitute a timeshare scam, but we can neither confirm nor deny whether they were ever legitimate in the first place. It is best to simply avoid this company, which shouldn’t be hard considering there doesn’t seem to be a way to contact them other than a phone number and an address.

Resort Exit Group Cost

With no website and no way to contact them beyond a phone number, we don’t know how much their services cost. We can get a little bit from the reviews we find on their Better Business Bureau page, but even that isn’t much. The reviews mention the cost of their timeshares and how much that was weighing on them rather than the cost of the exit service itself.

We also do not recommend services that don’t offer money-back guarantees or escrow payment options because they are the only way to ensure that your case is fully handled without losing out on the money you’ve paid the service. Attorneys can be expensive and we know that timeshare exit services tend to be a little bit more affordable. You won’t get any information about your timeshare exit costs before you go through a consultation, and with this service there’s no way to do even that.

The reason we recommend escrow payments so heavily is it is the only way to fully hold a company accountable while they are handling your contract. You get the assurance that they will handle your contract in full before they ever get paid for anything they do for you. This may sound like it isn’t fair to the company or service, but it is more important to protect yourself from potential scams that will take your money the same way your resort is doing. With escrow payments you get the full assurance that you won’t be scammed further by an exit service.

As we see it, there is nothing left of this company beyond a phone number and this isn’t helpful to us in the slightest. They may have once been a good contender in the timeshare exit business but they currently have nothing left of them to be able to work with.

Summary

Whether this company was once a legitimate timeshare exit group or whether they were a front for a scam, we can neither confirm nor deny. There isn’t enough information available on the internet or any of their review websites to be able to gauge the full legitimacy of this company. It is unfortunate because it seems that their reviews were at least positive, so we can’t do a fully extensive review of the service without much to go off of.

Overall we just recommend avoiding this company as they have no online presence, no history, no credibility, and no reviews to go off of. Further than that there is no way to contact the company or hold them accountable for their services. So all in all it is best to simply avoid this company without anything to back them up as a legitimate or even still active timeshare exit service.
