They want more money!!!!
Complaint
Anne Offor
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.

We know a friend who has fallen into the same trap. I don't think i need to explain anything else in detail. Can u please tell me how you managed to get out of the contract or even get your deposits back. We are stuck at the moment and need desperate advice. Living in Australia. Thank you
We signed up this month, was tired, jet-lagged, had a few drinks at lunch time and got suckered into after they had worn us down after four hours.
Once awake and sober we couldn't believe what I had signed into. If I'd read that contact on any other day I would have laughed and walked out.
So what can we do? Living in Australia and trying to get our deposit back which was paid by credit card.
Worried about them coming after more of our hard earned cash, is there anyway they can harm our lives further?
regards
Just an update on my previous post..
After arriving home and reviewing the membership we contacted the Karma Royal Group and explained our circumstances and reasons for initially joining.
We appreciate the courteous manner in which new were treated and professionalism and understanding the Karma Royal Group has shown in resolving our issue.
