      I have contacted ******* at least twice with formal request for release of contract, as they lied and did not offer buy back your contract at 80-90% of cost as originally told to me at time of signing. The response I received was that I could pay the contract then they would accept it back without paying for it, if I wanted to be released from yearly fees. Also, they lied about ease of booking and availability. I have spent nearly 20 grand on have only received 2 hotel stays through them. I feel they misrepresented themselves, lied about self back, and I have not been able to use this product but have spent a lot of money not using this product. I would like release from my contract and reimbursement for funds paid.

      Marriott ************************ has completely let us down after being loyal customers for several years now. Our experience with our timeshare has been far from what we were initially promised, and we find ourselves in a desperate situation that we can no longer bear. We feel that we have been taken advantage of by Marriott, a company we once held in high regard. The pressure exerted on us by the sales team was relentless, intentionally mentally exhausting us to the point where we felt we had no choice but to accept the timeshare. It was a decision made under duress, without fully understanding the implications and financial obligations we were committing to. The financial strain has only intensified with the discovery of multiple maintenance fees, one for the vacation club and one for the timeshare. We were told that by switching to Marriott ************** our maintenance fees would decrease, not triple in amount. THIS YEAR ALONE, THEY INCREASED THESE FEES BY $1,000! The misinformation has only added to our confusion and financial burden. We were also told that this membership would increase in value over time and would be easily sold when we no longer wanted it or could use it. These are not true and have put us on a very uneven financial footing. As retired Navy servicemembers who dedicated 30 years of our lives to serving *****************, my wife and I have begun to show the wear and tear of our service. Our limited and fixed incomes, coupled with mounting medical expenses, have made it increasingly difficult to afford the financial burden of the timeshare. We are hoping that the plea we made for sympathy, with dignity, will be heard and they will terminate our contract, as requested.

      We are deeply sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and the challenges you've faced with your timeshare. Your feedback is important to us, and we take it seriously.

We appreciate your loyalty over the years and want to ensure we address your needs appropriately.
