Terranza Boutique Resort AKA Playa Maria Beach Resort

[plmcinto2]

Just hoping someone has some good information on what - if anything - we can do to dump a Mexican timeshare. In 2002, a fraudulent sales agent sold us a twenty-year timeshare contract in Mazatlan with written guarantees that the annual maintenance fees would never be raised. When we asked if one clause in the actual contract meant that our written guarantees would not be valid, we were told that we had a secure agreement with the official letters they had signed and had been given to us. (We still have those letters.)

We are hoping to avoid paying any more large fees for expansion and upgrading of the resort. (I guess the place had been trashed.) Plus, the resort has now changed hands and our maintenance fee has been doubled. We are not paying it; we are soon to be in arrears...what is the best thing we can do? Help!

Oh! and we were also naive enough to sign on with TOA, Timeshare Owners Adocate. We lost money on that so-called "Better Business Bureau" company as well.
