Time Share Alert-Resort Members Association

"Eliminating" Maintenance Fees May Cost Thousands

LABELLE, FL. -- If you have received a letter from Resort Members Association, with an offer to "participate in a program that may eliminate Maintenance Fees for timeshare owners," beware you may be getting something different than you might anticipate.

Mailings are going out by the thousands to mailboxes around the country from a company called Resort Members Association of San Pedro, California. The "offer" says it's "only available to a select group of owners." It's postmarked from Fullerton, Ca. with a return address of 1621 West 25th St. Suite 157, San Pedro, Ca.

The company has offices in Orlando, Florida and Torrance, California at 2239 West 190 Street, and according to one BBB complainant, allegedly is an unregistered fictitious name for the real company, Time Share Relief, Inc. registered in Florida in 2008 and went out of business in 2009, owned by David MacMillan and Cindy Martin of Torrance, CA.

Another company with the same name is apparently unrelated to MacMillan's operation,  also called Time Share Relief, Inc. and owners were Paco Gray and Nicholas Worlds, both of Tampa, Fl. That company went out of business in Florida in 2012.

This is a typical mailing, usually trying to get you to come to a local hotel for a high pressure sales presentation where in the end, you will be writing a check for fees to allow the company to either buy or market your time share resort condo.

They will not give you any information over the phone, but pressure callers to come in person to their hotel presentation.

A clue to a possible problem is the letter is unsigned. There is no record of the company being registered at the Secretary of State's office in California or Florida, where we received the letter. Another clue is they claim the offer is "For a limited time," and give a cut off date to call their phone number (888) 242-8706.

The phone number apparently changes depending on when and where you receive the letter. A second letter received showed (888) 453-9461 and included an "account number" of 9109206 under the heading of "Annual Association Notice" and again with a date to call them by.

The Central Florida Better Business Bureau and Southern California BBB says the company, is not accredited and has had 10 complaints about sales and advertising tactics since May 2012. According to BBB records Resort Members Association began business in March 2012, although as noted above they were not registered to do business in the state.

The operations manager is listed as Robert Podlesni and the company is listed as a title company.

Many people report getting mailings and phone calls from the company even though they don't own a time share and there is an allegation that it's website may contain malicious code.

Time Share Relief, Inc. - How They Operate

This company has had government sanctions against them for deceptive practices. According to filings by the state of Vermont, on eight occasions between 2007 and 2010, representatives of Timeshare Relief came to Burlington to solicit consumers to transfer ownership of their unused timeshares and thus relieve the owners of timeshare maintenance fees, taxes and other costs.

A number of consumers who met with the company understood the invitation to mean that the company would offer to pay them for their timeshares; in fact, they had to pay several hundred to several thousand dollars to transfer ownership of their timeshares. The Attorney General considered this to be a deceptive trade practice.

Many less than honest companies are trying to take advantage of timeshare owners, asking large fees from those who have been unable to sell their units due to the very large inventory of units that are now on the market for sale or being unused.

Not said in the original letter is that you will be charged thousands of dollars for "transfer fees" to give away your time share apartment or condo to the company. These types of companies may in turn attempt to re-sell to someone else, and often won't record the transfer, so the original owner is still on the hook legally.

Recommendation: Legitimate timeshare owner groups say not to pay anyone fees to sell or dispose of a timeshare, instead owners groups advise to literally give away for free any unwanted condo and pay an attorney a hundred dollars or so to do the paperwork. The owner's groups say it is unnecessary to ever pay anyone thousands of dollars to dispose of a timeshare or to pay a "listing fee" to place it on the market.

In Florida, and other states, it is illegal for companies to demand advance fees to list a property for sale or rent. Fee or commissions are only paid after a sale, not before.

Update: When this story was written, Resort Members Association was apparently not registered to do business in Florida. The company then filed with the Florida Secretary of State's office on October 16, 2012 to do business under the fictitious name "Resort Members Association" and disclosed the actual owner of the Resort Members Association is Donate Title Inc., of 2245 W. 190th Street, Torrance, CA.

Donate Title, Inc. filed with Florida on October 5, 2012 to do business, after Resort Members Association allegedly had been doing business since March 2012. It's owner is David MacMillan, 201 Spindrift Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. He is the same owner of Time Share Relief, Inc. that started business in Florida in 2008 and went out of business in 2009.

Update: On March 6, 2013 the Florida Attorney General's office sued four timeshare resale companies. See Timeshare Fraud story for more on how the companies took advantage of timeshare owners.

Update: In April we were receiving letters from Resort Notification Services, 5348 Vegas Dr., Suite 342, Las Vegas, NV.  The phone number was (888) 983-4518. The letters says "We have attempted contacting you several times without success. This may be our last attempt." The letter was mailed from zip 33310 which is Fort Lauderdale, Fl.

    My son had this problem a few years ago with a time share in Ga. When the real estate bust hit he just walked away from it and never looked back. Never paid anyone anything anymore. No repercussions either.

  46. You are obviously all a bunch of idiots. Did it ever cross your mind that if you have a "reward membership" with a hotel chain who also sells timeshares I.E. Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton... that your name might be put on a marketing list as a potential timeshare owner??? Just because you don't own a timeshare but receive a letter from this company doesn't mean they're a scam you moron. This company is legit, I checked them out myself. After paying listing fees to several "resale" companies these guys were the only ones who could actually offer me a solution. Guess what? They don't sell your timeshare because there aren't any buyers out there. Wake up and smell the coffee. These guys do "completely and permanently eliminate your maintenance fees by terminating your ownership. They provide a title transfer service plain and simple. They re convey the title out of your name to another party who is willing to accept the ownership. They do charge a fee to cover the title work that is necessary to do so. You tell me what's worse, keep a timeshare you're not using and wasting thousands of dollars on each year, or pay a company to eliminate your ownership and stop the bleeding? I'll take the lesser of two evils. My problem has been solved. I no longer have my timeshare and I no longer pay maintenance fees.

    I am so glad I researched this company. I did go to a presentation in a hotel, and it they sounded convincing showing you articles from USA Today on Stuck with Timeshares; and showing you the cost to keep your timeshare and what your annual and cumulative costs woule be. They called me several times but I did not answer. Many of us would like to sell our timeshare and relieve that annual maintance fee. I am so thankful for all your comments and I believe all these mailings are a big scam, and will be going in the trash.It looks like getting a lawyer is the best route, and safest. It is so upsetting to see people loose $$$ to these scams.Always do your homework and research like I did before you give anyone any money.

    I got a mailer from them to call (888) 675-2986 and did some research.. I stumbled on this blog and started reading through these comments and I am just baffled.

    According to the internet, they do charge owners "Title Transfer" fees to take their timeshares, and it looks like they have service fees (definitely not a non profit organization). I have not seen any complaints from people who have actually used their service (apparently they actually do get people out of timeshares?).

    It looks like the mailers are just a marketing tactic to get timeshare owners to call in..

    I looked up "Timeshare Relief" in Torrance, CA on the BBB.. they have been accredited since 2005 and have a B+ rating.. The owners are not "Paco Gray and Nicholas Worlds" as this blogger mentioned above. This is quoted from the BBB..

    "44 complaints closed with BBB in last 3 years | 19 closed in last 12 months".. that struck me as interesting because there are more complaints on this blog than there has been on their BBB in over 3 years.

    Bottom line is, if they were a scam, I doubt they would still be in business if they started in 2005.

    I doubt I would use them, from what I have read, the only people who use them are people who never use their timeshares any more and can't even give them away. I love my timeshares and travel to them every year.

    I just think people should do their own research, instead of yelling scam scam scam.. You don't like how they market? Good for you, call them and tell them to take you off of their mailing list. I did.

    Otherwise, do your own research. You are all making yourself look ignorant. Just because some random guy online says a company is a scam, does that make them one? I get mail all the time from refinance companies telling me my house is in foreclosure (which is not true). Does that mean they are a scam company because they are trying to get me to call them? Probably not.

    Bottom line, do your own research. Don't just take someones word for it. /rant off

    I actually paid a company like this one to transfer the title of my timeshare. They cashed my check and then went bankrupt without doing anything for me. So even if you believe they could transfer your timeshare title, they will probably go bankrupt and then open up next year under another name. Don't trust any of them.

    Thank you for the warning. Timeshare has gotten to be one big scam with the points program even worse than weeks. What do you own when you buy points for thousands of dollars? Points aren't worth squat and RCI now charges $200 to trade. I can stay at a place in Florida for one week for $125..no maintenance fees of over $700 either! There should be a consumer agency to help people unload these too.

    Yes, they are in Vegas; Resort Notification Services, 5348 Vegas Dr., Suite 342, Las Vegas, NV 89108 phone 855-261-8900.

    I was pressured on the phone to see if my Maintenance fees were up to date, otherwise they would not even talk further. I said NO, what does it matter, I was told to call back when up to date and hung up.

    Google Earth shows a lot since this is now the home of www.millionsaverhomes.com and www.eastbiz.com that can take you to www.IncParadise.net. You can clearly see from street view the address on the front of their building. Further search reflects John Vanhara is stated as the Real Estate Broker for Million Saver Homes and apparently running their scam with them from this Las Vegas location.

    I love the comments from people sticking up for this company and claiming "its not a scam!" and "do some research!". I do not, and have never owned a timeshare. I am also not on any hotel rewards program (like someone suggested) yet I have received multiple letters and calls from these people.

    First of all, the companies most people receive letters from are:
    - Resort Owners Association (out of Torrence, CA)
    - Resort Members Association (HQ - also out of Torrance, CA..it's even the same address)
    - Resort Notification Services (out of Las Vegas, NV)
    - Resort Members Association (out of Aventura, FL)

    Guess what? Most of them list Robert Podlesni as contact (all under various business titles such as Account Administrator, Operations Manager, etc.).

    It makes you wonder why they would need to have multiple business names if they were a respected company.

I have used it there a couple of times, but mostly traded for other places, Florida, Hawaii, Mexico and Reno.I had thought about selling it as I don't use it every year, so the thought of eliminating maintenance fees sounded good, but too good to be true. I'm sure glad I listened to my boyfriend and done some research online. I am set up for one of these meetings in two days about 30 miles from my house.

    You are right, there is no market for timeshare resales. Any company that claims they can sell your timeshare is most likely going to scam you.

    I have dealt with resort management association however and they never once claimed they could sell my timeshare. They explained to me why I was unsuccessful in attempting to sell my timeshare in the past. Apparently my "investment" in the timeshare was more of a liability. I appreciated how upfront and honest they seemed and offered me a service to transfer my timeshare ownership.

    I was of course unhappy at first when I realized I would not be recieving any money in return for the timeshare that I payed thousands for. But the services they offer did make sence for me in the financial situation I was in.

    They seemed like they are operating to assist unhappy timeshare owners like myself.Im curious to find out if anybody was actually scammed out of money by this company because I for sure was not.

    - If you get a letter and do not own a timeshare, don't worry; they are just spamming these letters as advertisements. Nothing will happen.

    - Yes, their services are expensive as hell. But at the end of the process, you really do get rid of your timeshare. They don't sell the timeshare, they take your name off the deed. That costs shitloads because of course the timeshare company needs to be paid so they release you.

    - The thousands you pay them will most likely be less than the cumulative sum of all the maintenance fees you will be paying for the rest of your life. Fees that will eat out of your pension fund until you die, then get passed on to your kids and become a financial burden to them. It could be worth it based on your situation.

  98. A comment about the previous post. There's no way to "take your name off the deed" without selling a property. If the property is not sold to someone, you still will have it in your name. As advised before, you can sell it to anyone for a dollar and save the fees the time share companies will charge.

    Resort Member's Association owned by David McMillan. He also owns TimeshareCure, TransferSmart, Right Choice Transfer, Pacific Transfer, Pacific Title, Pacific Property Transfer, Timeshare Relief and a few others.
    Pacific Transfer is a DBA for Gray Wolf Transfers, Inc, which you can see here:

    http://www2.dre.ca.gov/PublicASP/pplinfo.asp?License_id=01916780

    They are only registered as a corporation, and they have none of the required real estate licenses to render the services they claim to offer. Most of the other companies aren't registered at all, they don't exist on paper.

    Also, here is a list of various lawsuits and investigations:

    http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2013/06/docs/130606timesharechartactions.pdf

    On page 3 under California you can see that TransferSmart has been issued a Final Order to Desist and Refrain for operating illegally in California.
    On Page 4 second from the top you'll see Donate Title (Resort Member's Association) where it says, "Referral to the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General ("OAG") for purposes of
    enforcing a subpoena under CGS § 42-110k. The OAG will be seeking a court order
    requiring compliance." and there's an ongoing investigation.

    These companies are all registered to an address in Torrance, CA. I know someone who visited the address, and there is NO OFFICE THERE! Mr. McMillan's address however up in Palos Verdes is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in California if not the nation (it must be nice, I wonder how he sleeps at night).

    On occasion there will be a fluke and a property will actually be transferred, but keep in mine this has been done illegally and you will then be involved in an illegal operation.

    Report them to the Police Department in your area but make sure they know to forward the complaint to the Police Department in Torrance, and also to forward the investigation to your financial institution.

    File online FTC complaints here:

    https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#&panel1-1

    FBI complaints here:

    and don't forget to file complaints with the BBB as well, because some people still assume that a good rating on the BBB means a company is trustworthy.

    I too got the letter from Washington, D.C. It has no company name (very suspicious) so I went to Google Maps and took a look at the building. The image was from 2009 and was fuzzed out. Possibly because there was a police car parked out front. But, after a little research, I found out the building is mostly attorneys and short term rental offices. That speaks volumes! It may not be exactly illegal, but it's a scam none the less.

    Received the same letter from the Vegas address. Thanks for alerting us to the scam that it is. As an older citizen we are often targets of all kinds of scams so it is a relief to look up on the internet and find out the truth. Thank you all!

  120. Thousands of International travelers, particularly from the US and Canada, have fallen victims of timeshare fraud while vacationing. Resort developers hire skilled salesmen to represent their timeshares as many different attractive packages, such as financial investments, deeded properties, or vacation clubs, just to increase their sales.

    I got a letter in early August 2014. It was sent to my parents home in Montana. I live in Washington State. I've never owned a timeshare, however I have attended a timeshare presentation 1 time about 5 years ago. I don't understand the context of this scam but could easily identify it as something to just put in the shredder. My letter was addressed 5550 Painted Mirage Rd. Suite 320-A8, Las Vegas, NV, 89149. Ph # 888-883-9577. I've got a lot of junk mail and scam attempts in my lifetime. This is probably the strangest one of them all.

      The DC tel# 888-872-7181 Association Management Dept
      dated June 2015. Cheap paper, same come-on as above.
      Same lies as the rep gave us a couple of years ago. Claimed they could sell in record time after they had our credit card#. They were really an advertising agency. Pro-timeshare, Inc. has been prosecuted in FL.

    I got the same one, Property Management Services in Austin, TX. I do have 2 timeshares, one that I would love to get rid of but I don't trust these mailings one bit. If I want to sell or get rid of my property, I will go to the property owners and see what is possible. I even tried to look up their phone number they said to call. Doesn't even exist!

    Anonymous, in Texas. Received letter on June 9, 2015. from 1425 K Street NW, Suite 350, Washington, D.C. 20005. Phone Number : 888-797-5758. Letter included a reference number of ten digits. Letter was not signed.
    I am glad people are writing in about this. Repeated attempts at getting FBI, or other Federal agencies to investigate these people has been ignored. Maybe a candidate for congress will use it for a way to get votes. Would get mine, just to expose them throughout the entire USA.
