SECTION 2: Introduction
You CAN get your money back.
Don’t be disheartened. Don’t feel stupid because your bought into something that you know now, and that you FELT it all along the sales presentation, and maybe even said it repeatedly out loud, is not made for you.
Don’t feel like that. The sales of a vacation club or timeshare is a well oiled, well rehearsed operation. It is made to be irresistible, even if they have to lie to your face to get you to sign up.
But remember this above all else -- you CAN get your money back.
It’s a tiring sales presentation, and just as much, it will be a tiring process to get anything back from the Privilege Club company (or any other timeshare company, especially outside of the US), as long as you play it their way.
If you play it their way, they will string you along for you to get tired, and go away.
If you play it their way, they will make you feel stupid, again, with how you trusted and signed instead of mistrusting, and checking the verbal promises matched the papers.
Don’t play it their way. That’s your first advice -- play it like we will show you here and it will be your best chance to get your money back.
Second piece of advice and most importantly -- ACT FAST. Your chances of getting your money back, through ANY possible avenue, steadily decrease the more you let time pass.
In other words: the FASTER you act, the BETTER your chances of getting your money back.
ACT QUICKLY AND WITHOUT HESITATION. You stand to lose NOTHING by asking for your money back out loud, frequently, and forcefully. You stand to get it faster by following the steps lined out in this book.
This book is the best weapon you will ever have to get the job done. NOTHING like it exists out there. Use it until what is yours is returned. We have held NOTHING back. Use all of the tools you need UNTIL THE MONEY IS IN YOUR ACCOUNT.
Not agreed upon.
Not “sent.”
IN YOUR ACCOUNT, where you can touch it, as it were.
I spent years, YEARS, and it even cost me a separation, fighting to get my money back from these people. I pleaded, I called, I waited, I complied. I was ignored, given the runaround, offered crumbs of the many thousands I paid in order to be shushed away and leave them alone.
Until I understood one thing: the money they have is MY money.
The money they have is MY money.
The money they have is YOUR money.
And they have as much right to keep it from you as a pickpocket has the right to keep your wallet.
