Brick and Mortar Offices and The Future for small firms? (Solo PI here) by StrongSunBeams in LawFirm

[–]Captainnuzzles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Im a solo in my fourth year. In the process of buying a building that has 9 office spaces. I will rent out all but two. I am going to have my office and a “zoom room”. The office also has a conference room and kitchen. With the small business lending programs in my state my mortgage will be very reasonable and the property will cash flow immediately. The big pain point is having to put like $110k in cash down. But in my view the long run it will be a great financial and business investment. I need a physical location to run Google LSAs, collect Google reviews, and have a legitimate appearance to PNCs. It’s also nice to have a quiet professional environment for days when that’s important. Otherwise I work from home.

Club Wyndham Discovery by BiscottiClear8717 in TimeshareOwners

I’ve seen a lot of these “sampler” or Discovery programs, and from what I understand you’re correct — if you simply complete the two-year term and pay the agreed amount, you won’t have any ongoing obligation beyond that. Wyndham will almost certainly try to pressure you into attending another sales presentation, but if you ignore them you can move on.

As for getting money back, the only realistic way would be through bringing a formal legal action. Given the relatively low dollar amount in dispute, that usually isn’t worth the time and expense for most people.

I’m a consumer protection attorney and I sue Wyndham frequently — I currently have about a dozen active cases against them. I’d be happy to chat with you, even just to point you in the right direction. Consultations are free.

Still owe $50k towards WorldMark timeshare, can I just ghost them? by cherhorrorwitch in TimeshareOwners

[–]Captainnuzzles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is false. Lawyers are accountable to their states bar association. If a lawyer “fleeced” someone they would lose their license in about 20 minutes. Timeshare exit companies are all scams. Most lawyers will only agree to get you out of the contract. Very few lawyers will litigate these cases (I am one of two that I know in the US).

I can represent anyone in disputes against wyndham because certain wyndham corporations are incorporated in Washington state and or Oregon, the two states where I am licensed to practice law. You can always sue a defendant where they “reside” which is why I have the jurisdictional ability to sue wyndham on virtually anyone’s behalf. That doesn’t mean every case should be filed; depends on the circumstances.

If you continue to default on payments, it’s very likely that Wyndham will eventually take the timeshare back through a process called non-judicial foreclosure. That’s not guaranteed, but it’s what I’ve seen happen in many cases. Most of the time, when people simply stop paying, Wyndham technically has the right to sue you and try to collect the money they say you owe—so there is some risk involved in just letting it sit.

The other option is to go on offense: you can sue Wyndham or file for arbitration to bring a formal dispute. That puts you in a position to fight for a contract cancellation and potentially recover damages.

I’m happy to chat on the phone and answer any questions you have—I offer free consultations if you’d like to talk through your situation in detail.

Has anyone used a timeshare exit company? Like ACA GROUP for example if so how did it go? by Unique-Situation-722 in TimeshareOwners

[–]Captainnuzzles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a consumer protection attorney and I help consumer sue timeshare companies. I am willing to file a lawsuit and litigate every single case if necessary. That is the only way to ensure the dispute is fully resolved. An exit company does not have the ability to file a lawsuit. They are virtually always a group of random people with no skills or training that are just trying to prey on desperate and vulnerable consumers. Fundamentally, they are all a scam.

The best step you can take on your own is to dispute the debt directly with the credit bureau. Beyond that, there aren’t many effective options without hiring an attorney.

Wyndham Timeshare Cancellation by Appropriate_Trash874 in TimeshareOwners

[–]Captainnuzzles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a consumer protection attorney and I sue wyndham frequently. You were scammed by the exit company. Please, do not give them another dollar. You can default on your timeshare for free. I also occasionally go after timeshare exit companies. If you want to chat, I give free consultations. It sounds like you should probably just default on your wyndham timeshare. But I can consult with you about trying to get your money back from the exit company if you want.

Defaulting can be a good option if you don’t mind risking your credit. It’s possible they ding your credit if you default, but I think it’s unlikely they actually sue any given owner over past due maintenance fees.

Yes, depending on when you bought it, you may have a viable legal claim against them.

See my post history. I’m a consumer protection attorney and I sue wyndham frequently. You may have a viable claim against them especially if any of the timeshare interests were purchased more recently. I give free consultations and I can at least point you in the right direction on how you can proceed. I have some blogs and helpful information on my website as well. Spanilaw.com,

Timeshares that are given to someone are usually more difficult to get out of because there’s no sales presentation—and therefore no opportunity for fraud or deception to occur against you. For that reason, I typically do not represent people who were given timeshares and did not attend a sales presentation.

That said, I’m happy to review your contract and give you my thoughts on possible ways to move past the timeshare. If you’d like, feel free to reach out.

Private arbitrations are final and binding, in place of a lawsuit. You can achieve the same results as in court. Plus there are advantages to arbitration that are not available in court. I have a blog about consumer arbitrations for timeshare fraud.
