Time share companies
Hi everyone:
I had a bad experiance with one of the timeshare reputed int'l organizations "Marriott Vacation Club" where i signed a contract with them to buy a week in their Paris vacation resort (Ille de France) & pay 36 monthly installements. I paid them 21 installements after which they revoked my contract because i only paid them 1 anuual maintenance fee out of 3 (Although i haven't used any) bearing in mind that the contract says that they can suspend my usage of the property if I didn't pay the maintenance. They wouldn't retrun the money they took from me (+AED100K) and they won't discuss any remedies. I tried to take the matter with they mother company but it was like hitting my head to the wall. I tried to talk to Dubai Economy Dept or Consumer Rights which didn't get me anywhere - they advised me that contracted agreement is not their speciality!! I heard that UAE ministry of Tourism is forming a committee to address such issues - but nothing so far!
I'm posting this to ask if anyone faced the same in UAE? & to ask for any advise on how to go forward in this?
Appreciate all the help you can spare!
