Diamond Resorts-is it a scam?

chris.s_5

Having read all that has been written about this odious company why would you want to have anything to do with them (even if on the face of it it may look cheap)? It would be interesting for so many people who read this blog and who have been betrayed by false promises, lies and breach of contract terms by this organisation to have an idea of what you were told during your 150 minutes with their rep. Why did it take all this time to hook you into what looks like a fairly simple sampler? he must have told you a very long story.

We went to the one in the lake district a few years ago. We had a nice break for about £60. We booked out talk for first thing so we could free up the rest of the day. It was hard sell but we just said from the start we were not buying and it was fine. Believe you me no amount of hard sell would part my hubby from his dosh! Have to say we later bought into a timeshare that doesnt believe in hard sell. We are timeshare converts and wished we had bought it years ago-we would have saved an absolute fortune.

This site is about saving absolute fortunes,so pray tell us more so we can save fortunes also.......like,where is it?,what dates?,how much did it cost?,how much are the maintenance fees?,what is the resale value?
You just cant make statements like "We Would Have Saved An Absolute Fortune" without facts to back it up.

hi bex 76,i see you had a bit of a bashing there, but most of the people on these sites me included have lost thousands of hard earned cash through the lies we were told,and these guys are still trying to sell to people who are unaware of the pitfalls,at least you have read some of these comments so if you do take up the offer of a break enjoy but remember they are a bunch of lieing [email]b@~*~!#~.[/email]

Disney vacation club. Paid £14000 last year. So far had £7000 worth of accomodation plus £1900 back as i rented spare points out. Got enough points to stay 34 days a year dependent on time and size of accomodation. Dues around £900 a year. Enough facts?

Dont know how to post links but try googleing it. We bought resale through dvcresales-brilliant service. We love it. Let me know if you need to know more.

terryw

Thanks. I shall check that out.

However, this site is above all about money-saving and it would be well-worth you while working out how to open a new thread and let other MSEers know about this money-saving idea of yours. this thread is about an organisation called Diamond, and it might make this thread difficult to follow if we go off-topic.

terryw

Oh dear. Yes, you did say that you had been to another timeshare event. See your post number 523.

No offence is intended in any shape or form. I have not told you off in any shape or form. I have suggested that you open a new thread about this bargain that you have found rather than sully the waters in a thread about diamond.

It really is easy to work out MSE..........anyone who can understand timeshare and obtain a bargain will have no problem.
