They want more money!!!!
Complaint

Country: Australia
Will make this short and sweet, I hope.
Bought a timeshre in 2006, havent been able to use it as husband works away. We were shown a resort we were told we could use as we didnt like the one we were buying into. So.... we try and use it two years later, and find out that they want us to pay $410 a night per person ontop of the $10,000USD we have paid to stay anywhere. They dispute they showed us this resort, they dispute they didnt tell us we had to pay more once they admitted we were shown the resort. And so the saga goes on. We have been told we can have 2 free weeks there, which will come to the equivalent of the price we paid originally. Why would we want to do that, it doesnt solve the problem of having to pay more if we want a holiday there. Now we wait as we want out of this whole sorry mess. It leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. Husband is retiring this month and we thought we would be able to use our RCI membership without doubt as we bought into the higher levels of timeshare. Tried to find a place to go before February 2009, we have been told there is nothing on our side of the world. So we cant use the Royal Bali Club we cant use RCI. Well we can if we forever pay more, what was the point of paying into something we thought we would have for life and no more expense apart from air travel.
So people out there, beware Royal Bali Club and RCI. The directors and President must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Ditawarin voucher nginep gratis di bali, deposit uang 100 rb, tp harus ngedengerin presentasi mereka, selama 1 jam, yang tenyata lebih dari 1 jam. Berkali-kali tanya harganya, ga di jawab, terakhir, mereka bilang, untuk maintanance nya ajah setahun 6 jt, lansung serta merta , kami jawab TIDAK . Seketika itu sesi pertemuan dihentikan, dan saya di kasih voucher menginap 4hari3mlm dan uang 100rbnya di kembalikan. Kami memutuskan untuk ga memakai voucher itu, karena di voucher itu tertulis mengharuskan mengikuti sesi yang sama di bali selama 1 jam. Sebenernya saya ga rugi banyak sih, cuma rugi waktu ajah, ngederin presentasi yang seindah mimpi.

Stressed to the max and dont know what to do, if we stop paying can they pursue us?
Will it mean we can never visit Indonesia again?
Desperate for advise, what have others found?
PLEASE HELP US :-(

First of all, I would make the point of saying that it is not a scam- my definition of a scam would be that they take your money and you never hear from them again. You are actually buying a product, for want of a better word. It may not suit everyone (it didn't suit me either) but some people would find it perfect for them. To me a scam suggests criminal activity, and I do not believe this company to be working outside the law.
The second thing I would say is that in all my dealings with the Seminyak and Jimbaran offices, I found them to be very open and reasonable with any issues I had following my signing up.
I understand that some people have been refused a cancellation, and I cannot make comment in those situations, however I will say that communication with the company in the first instance was the best approach for us.
Yes they are salesman, and pretty effective ones at that, however I would advise that you speak with your salesperson and/or email the address given to you- I did, and they were pretty responsive. Yes, websites like this can be a very powerful tool for naming and shaming companies that have acted unlawfully (if they have acted unlawfully) but I believe the best approach is to contact Karma Royal first.
Before anyone else comments, I am in no way affiliated with the company- I responded to the invitation from the street hawker much like most other people on here
My husband and I returned from Bali on the weekend and are deeply regretting our decision to "sign up" because we handed over our life savings. You do not make it clear whether you actually signed a contract and then were successful in having it revoked. I would be very grateful if you could let me know please whether this was the case because it would be very reassuring for us to know that this is achievable. We're not suggesting any illegal activity either, we just want to retrieve our money as we realise now that this product is not for us!
Any ones info would be grateful.

However this is my view only and I can see that a lot of others have not shared the view.
