    Hi all - just joined this forum after following mirror blogs.
    I resigned from DRI and have not paid their fees (ransom) for 2 years. Still getting threatening letters and come to the conclusion they (DRI) are scared. The less money they receive from us punters the less they can afford their lifestyles. My heart bleeds for their plight. They are not honest people and would find it difficult to sleep straight in their bed. In other words honesty is not their policy!
    I would rather lose my credit rating than feed these scum with my hard earned money - they can swivel!

    hi, have been on mirror blog too,got some good info from there, letters etc to send,been joining all blog sights to see how every one gets on, diamond must be suffering now with everyone handing in there resignation,the maintenance fees will only get worse as people stop paying,but they have only themselves to blame, we were all told so many lies to buy into this, investment for the future:rotfl: cant even sell on e bay for £0.01,great holidays when you want,where you want, good accomodation,my timeshare is now open to the general public with no fees to pay, so on my last visit spoke to some guests who had payed less than me to stay, with no maintenance fees.

    I'm assuming you have plucked these tag line out of the air as the first 2 you mention are reputable UK businesses and cannot be classed in the same league as timeshare scams.

    I think someone needs to do some research on the companys you discredit!

    fyi people, if you wish to make up your own mind

    webuyanycar.com
    (never used them but but know people who have and good results)

    homebuyerman.co.uk
    (My grandmother used this company to sell her house and she couldnt be happier, she sold her house and bought a boat (her dream))

    If you do decide to go have a look at one of these presentations and then find yourself in the middle of some high pressure sales pitch just ask them if your membership can be suspended for any time you spend in prison. They will have you out of that place faster than a migrant worker submitting his benifit claim.
