So my husband and I were some how scammed into purchasing one of these timeshares from Silverleaf. It sounded like a great deal, but come to find out after we had already signed the paperwork that they had told us a bunch of lies.
Lies:
1. We could use the Piney Shores resort anytime.
2. We could use Bonus Time anytime, doesn’t matter that we had purchased a blue/white week. We could use the resort even during the red season. Sun-Thurs would be free, and Friday and Saturday would be .
These are the reasons we purchased. Piney Shores is right off of Lake Conroe, and we love being out on the boat, we thought it would be super fun to be able to gather friends and go out whenever. Later we find out that we can’t stay during the red season, which is the only freaking time we would want to take the boat out. Sure we can go out for the day, but we can’t stay there.
If we just quit paying on the timeshare what is the worst that could happen? Will it hurt our credit that bad?
So later on, to resolve our problems with Silverleaf they conned us into buying another week, which was said to be a red week, and would give us privelege to go anytime we want.
Later find out that in fact we had purchased another blue/white week!!!!! We owe ,000 for both weeks. We pay 0 a month for something we can’t use, so we said to hell with. Closed out bank account so they couldn’t draft the money out anymore, and opened a new one. Well they call everyday several times a day. I tell them they aren’t getting another dime from us. They say if we just quit paying on it for good that is will hurt us, and we will never be able to buy a house.
NEVER BUY A TIMESHARE!
Why should we pay 0 a month for something we will never get to enjoy. We aren’t going to take vacation during the winter time, that’s just dumb!
