Timeshare Scams and Fraud

Was approached to sell our vacation club membership. Upon doing further research, there is a "real" Joel P Barrett, Broker. I reached out to him and he did not contact me for any buyer of our vacation club membership. Was sent information on setting up a trust with Empire Title & Closing Agency LLC and they do not exist, along with the Head Escrow Officer, James Lawrence.

They waited until the expiration before I had access to view what was sold.the list goes on . Seeking help to be released from this. It's beginning to effect my health.

My credit card was billed for $1565.37. On April 5, 2023, I received an email informing me that my reservation had been cancelled.

je souhaite poursuivre la compagnie OCCIDENTAL VACATION GROUP pour fraude

I bought into this vacation club twice. First Club in 2003 &then Royal Club in 2013. BOTH times when I bought in Aruba, a PRIME destination, I was told that I would have preference over anyone who bought into the club elsewhere (Mexico, DR, etc.). I was willing to pay the higher maintenance fee for that reason. I call to book in the DR (for Aruba) & I'm told there's no availability. Yet on Booking.com, Travelocity, Barcelo.com, etc. it's showing availability!! How can that be? I believe these "contracts" were signed by Owners prior to websites, which charge triple!! I contact Reservations in the Dominican & NO SUPERVISOR can call me back?? I've been trying to get answers for 3 WEEKS now!
