We had a timeshare through Exploria that we tried to get rid of for over a year using ******* *** Trosi. She told us she could help us. Within 2 days of my call, ******* called and said that she could get us out of the timeshare for $7500. On 1/22/2024 I paid $7500 to AMS Management. ******* said that we would get a full refund. We made several calls to ******* and she never called us back. After no contact with *******, we went to another company named Resort ************** and they were able to get us released from this timeshare. We have attempted to get our $7500 back and we are getting no where.Business Response

On 4-12-2023 - I signed contract with *** to permanently cancel my timeshare within 12 months. *** guaranteed to do so-if not completed within that period, they would refund my fee of $7500 (paid on 4-12-2023). Per contract, I forwarded all timeshare documents to their processing affiliate *************-confirmed they received all necessary documentation from me as of 6-21-2023. I kept a log of all communication with AMS and RPC staff-currently over 35 pages of dates, time, phone #, person called or message left, and content of call. On 5-21-2024, I confirmed with RPC legal assistant that they had not had any contact with Diamond Resorts. I immediately sent a letter (certified mail, return receipt requested) with supporting documentation to *** requesting a refund of my fee of $7500. I have a signed return receipt showing delivery of the letter by *** on 5-30-2024. On 6-17-2024, I called AMS to follow up progress on refund. I spoke with ********, who was unable to locate the letter and said she would get back to me. Since that date, I have sent requests to AMS customer ********************** and made 52 calls requesting the refund. On 9-5-2024, my Account Specialist ******* *** informed me that a refund check had been issued and that she would get back to me re: tracer number. When I called to follow up on 9-25, she said I was scheduled for a refund-check to be issued 10-1-24. When I called her on 11-1 to follow up-no refund has been received-she said she would have the information that day and would call me. It is 11-3. I have not heard from anyone and have not received my refund!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:1.) My last name was misspelled in the response from the company.
2.) The *** documents I submitted were not acknowledged by the company, I want to ensure that they were received. I submitted them on time and they include proof of lack of performance in relation to the original contract and guarantee issued by the company.
3.) The companys response indicated that they would be contacting me, as of today (11-23-24), they have not contacted me in any way.

I contracted with *** to dissolve my account with *******. After conducting the intake and moving to their legal team, I was advised that *** contracted with an attorney to remove the contract. The attorney advised he was there to push for a financial hardship in court. The attorney told me that I would have to stop paying on the loan and let it go to collections for ***** months. That ******* would foreclose on the loan leaving me with ***** months of nonpayments, foreclosure and that would hinder me from purchasing a home for years to come, affecting my military security clearance and ruin my financial life. I have called the company all their numbers and even the outside *** and his phone multiple times. They are dodging my calls and will not return anything. I did not contract with them for a forclosure and it was not in my contract that it would happen. I want this resolved.Business Response

Nov ******, we have AMS ******** to get rod of a timeshare. Their attorneys only talk with me once. I had called about a court hearing, and was told they could not help me with it. Finally in May of 2024 I got a letter from the timeshare saying we dodgy have a contract on a timeshare since May of 2023, since we never playoffs anything on it. This letter was sent caddis AMS attorneys finally asked the timeshare for the info on the timeshare. They did nothing up to this point. Ask they did in our case was send a letter to the timeshare for the contract of the timeshare and found our there was no timeshare to get food of. I do not feel one letter and one call which resulted in them having to do nothing to get rid of the timeshare should cost ******** dollars I asked for a refund per their contract and was told the work they did on our case resulted in no refund. The contract with *** was for my 82 year old mother, which I was the one they felt with though.Business Response

Complaint: 22230220
I am rejecting this response because: They have a copy of the letter sent from the resort already. The calls were made by me to ask for updates on the case. Which all I ever got was an answer of they are working on it, and one saying they don't handle the lawsuit court case we had to go to from *******. I want even notified they had gotten the last letter except the resorts letter stated they had. Which closed the needed for this companies help. So to my knowledge the letter to the resort and the resorts respond is the only work done on my account.

On May 22, 2024 my wife and I attended an informative event regarding Timeshares. (We had received the brochure in the mail. It did not state the name of the Company and the event was held at a local restaurant.) One topic of interest to us was "Ensure your children and heirs do not inherit your timeshare." The person (***** ******** phone # ************) presenting this information informed us that there is a bill pending right now before ******** that if signed, we and our heirs will never be able to get out of our Timeshare obligation. We have owned our ********* since 2005 and do not owe anything on it. They informed us that the State of Florida has a 10 day right of recission and we can change our mind and get our money back. We just have to inform them within 10 days. We did sign up and paid them $5,500.00 on our credit card. The company was AMS Management Service Corp. They assist people with cancellation of contracts or deeds regarding timeshares.We went home and did further research and contacted our ***************** and they have their own resale **** and could assist us. On May 28, 2024 we mailed a letter to *** rescinding our agreement for their services. Our **** tracking shows they received the letter on May 30th 12:20 pm We have called them numerous times inquiring when we will get our refund, (phone # ************). When we do get a hold of someone, they take our phone number and state someone will get back to us. However, no one returns our calls.This has been going on for almost three months and we feel we should have received our refund by now. We have also contacted our credit card company and filed a dispute.Business Response

I received a call from AMS Management Service on 4/5/2023 asking about Westgate. I told them we had paid another company that went bankrupt several yrs back and got no results from them and that I wasn't interested. She then had told me they could get the money back from my credit cards that I had paid with. She stated that AMS could get us 3 things, 1.exited 2.get $25,500. to $30,000. in recovery money and 3.get us released from Travel Wizard $4788. It would only cost $7500. to get this done and she could take the payment today. If I wasn't happy I could get a full refund within the first 10 days or anytime she would give a full refund. This could take 30 to 90 days or upto 1yr to resolve it. I spoke with ***** weekly at first then almost daily after awhile. I was always told just a few more days and this will be wrapped up and if not I could get a full refund. 1/15/24 I was asked to get both contract numbers for WG because they are coming up with more money for the recovery. When I finally spoke with ***** again she offered $130,000 in recovery if I could pay another $4000. to AMS this could be wrapped up by the end of the week. I told her I was going to give any more money I just want a refund of $7500. She said she would talk with them to see what she could do and would get back with me in a few days. She never did call back I had to call & text her to get returned calls. Its now beyond the 1yr contract that we signed with them and still nothing. I'm tired of getting the run around with ***** saying just give me a couple more days that they just about have it done. On 7/9/24 ***** spoke with Corp. about giving me a refund and they said in the next 48hrs my acct. would be completed, so they don't want to do a refund until after the 48hrs passes. They can let me know what they can do for the exit & recovery altogether. I told her that they never did the exit that it was done ages ago and I have proof of it from WG. Credits are done on Fri, it wasn't credited to meBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: I'm not sure what they are going to do with the ** timeshare that has already been closed by ** themselves. The information that I was giving at the time we signed with them was inaccurate according to **'s letter that I was emailed. They gave me false information and has taken our money to do nothing for us. As for as ** we haven't had an account with them for awhile.

On January 10, 2023, we signed a contract with AMS Management Service Corp to get us dismissed from our Timeshare contract in *****************. We signed the contract on 1/10/2023 and made half of the payment up front on a credit card. And we agreed to have them charge the same credit card for the remaining balance in 4 monthly payments. After the hit the credit card for the fourth and final payment we had not heard anything from AMS or its representatives. They promised in their contract and on the phone that they would keep us up to date on any and all communications sent to or received from the timeshare. We never got anything from anybody. Then after checking up on them on the Florida BBB we found out they had many complaints on them for keeping peoples money and not doing anything. So we attempted to file a dispute with our credit card. When all was said and done the credit card company sided with them and let AMS keep our $4495.00 and the bank charged us interest on all of it. After all of this was done we had to wait for the 1 year date of the contract to come to pass before we could make an attempt to get a full refund as its worded in the contract. We have made many many attempts to call the number on the contract and no one answers. We leave voicemail after voicemail and get no response. All we want is to get our money back for services that they warrantied and did not deliver.Business Response

Thank you for reaching out and bringing your concerns to our attention. We regret the distress and inconvenience you have experienced regarding your timeshare resolution process with AMS Management Service Corp.
Upon reviewing your case, we would like to clarify the following points to provide a comprehensive understanding of the situation:
1.**Legal Documentation Sent**: Our records indicate that the necessary legal documentation was sent to you in March 2023, which is three months after you initially signed the contract in January. This documentation was crucial for proceeding with your case, but we did not receive it back from you.
2.**Attempts to Contact**: Our legal team made multiple attempts to reach out to you via email regarding the required documentation. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response.
3.**Fraud Claim**: Three months later, you initiated a fraud claim with your credit card company, stating that we did not have permission to charge your card. This claim was easily disproven as we had the necessary authorizations for the transactions.
4.**Company Reputation**: While there have been some complaints, AMS Management Service Corp. maintains an almost five-star rating, reflecting numerous positive reviews and satisfied customers.
We value your business and would like to offer you the opportunity to resume the cancellation process from where it was left off. If you are willing to continue, we will happily assist you in completing the timeshare cancellation.
Please let us know how you would like to proceed. You can contact our customer ********************** department at [contact information] to discuss the next steps.

Complaint: 21972379
I am rejecting this response because: We never received any sort of communication from AMS Management Service Corp anytime in 2023.No emails, no phone calls, nothing. Yes, we did file a fraud complaint with our credit card company due to not receiving any form of communication from AMS Management for the first three months after we signed the contract. We assumed they stole our money, and we would not have any way to get it back, so we reached out to our credit card company and when their security people took one look at the company name on the internet and their bad BBB rating, they advised us to file a fraud complaint. Ultimately the credit card company sided with AMS Management because AMS Management presented the first page of the contract that we signed to the credit card company. Saying we did not fulfill our contractual obligation of giving them a year to attempt to get us out of our timeshare contract. And we have not heard anything from AMS Management since the dealings with the credit card company. No communication of any kind. And as you can clearly see our phone number and email address is in the contract I attached to my complaint.

I am rejecting this response because: Your explanation does not explain why you didn't communicate with us from January 2023 after we signed the contract, until March 2023. As I said in my last statement, this is why we filed the fraud complaint. Due to your companies lack of communication with not answering phone calls or emails from us. As we see it and our legal advisor see it, you're in violation of the contract as you have not done anything for over a year to resolve what you were hired and paid for. Therefore, you're in violation of the contract and it has been over a year since we signed. And since it has been over a year, and nothing is resolved by your company and as per your contract you owe us a Full Refund of all money's paid.

I have attached all your historical interactions you've had with RPC. It clearly states there were numerous before March. You also had a 1 hour consultation call as well with your case manager on March 10th. You were in correspondence throughout that duration with the intake director, the paralegal, and your case manager. You initiated a erroneous dispute 6 months after your signup date, which stopped all work on your case. We would love to still work with you and complete your cancellation as your contract indicates.Customer Answer

Like I have already stated in my previous note. The last communication we had from RPG was in *******. Nothing after that. And those communications were via email about gathering all of the information needed to start the case. ******* was also the last time any phone calls were received from RPG. Any other communication that is on the vague list of dates that you submitted is totally fictious. And as you terminated your service on your end due to the Credit Card dispute but yet you never reached out to us about anything. So right there you chose to terminate your part of the contract. Which tells me you don't want to do business with us, and this is a scam like is stated all over the internet. A full refund is all we need to talk about. As stated by the contract if this is not resolved within a year of the signing date of the contract then a full refund is owed to the client. Here we are July 25, 2024, and we are expecting a full refund.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I can understand your frustration, and I appreciate the opportunity to address your points.
It's important to note that the terms of our agreement stipulate that any disputes must be initiated within a specified time frame following the execution of the contract. Unfortunately, by initiating a dispute three months after the consummation of the agreement, it is considered a breach of the terms we both agreed upon.
We value our clients and want to ensure their cases are handled with care and efficiency. If you are still interested in pursuing your case, we would be more than happy to reactivate your account and work with you to see it through to completion. Our commitment is to support you and provide the necessary resources to achieve a resolution.
Please let us know how you would like to proceed, and we will do our best to assist youCustomer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:Your company was in Breech of the contract before we initiated the dispute with our credit card company. By your company not giving us feedback and communication of how our case was proceeding, once we sent you a copy of the contract and filled out everything your teams sent us via email. We never heard from anyone ever again for three months. But yet when we signed the contract we were informed we would get at minimum one phone call a month. That never happened, and the list of dates you sent during our last correspondence was made up. Just a bunch of dates and times on a piece of paper. Any fraudster can do that. Since we never received any form of communication from anyone from your legal team or anyone else from AMS. We thought just like anyone else in today's society that you were scamming us out of the $4995.00 we paid you. And after looking up your reputation on line about constantly doing this to hard working people around the country. We started the fraud case and the dispute case with our credit card company to try and get back our Hard Earned money that you ripped off. Even after the cases were filed and the credit card company decided in your favor your company still didn't reach out to us with any form of communication. So we felt your company ripped us off again and the only recourse we had was to wait until the contract date ended. So if this is your final decision on this matter we will pursue other ways of getting our hard earned money back. I will be contacting the Florida *********************** and see what they have to say about this case. And or look into other legal matters to get our Hard Earned Money Refunded.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration and take these concerns seriously.
We want to clarify that, according to our agreement, there is no stipulation for monthly phone calls. Our records, directly from our legal team's CRM HubSpot, show the communication attempts made. If you would like, we can provide additional details from this system to offer more transparency.
Our offer to complete your timeshare cancellation remains unchanged. It appears there may have been some misunderstanding regarding our communication policy and your role as a participating partner. As outlined in the contract, active participation is required, and we have not received the necessary engagement from you to proceed with the cancellation process.
We stand by our commitment to resolving this matter and would like to discuss how we can move forward. Please let us know if you would like us to provide the detailed documentation or if there are other ways we can assist you.
Thank you for your patience as we work to address your concerns.

I am rejecting this response because: We have attempted many times to contact your offices at the phone number on the contract. And either we get put on hold forever and forgotten or no one answers the phone at all. Voicemails have been left every time. and NO ONE from your office has attempted to return our phone calls. So again, we feel this was a SCAM from the time we signed the contract. Your sales guy who made the cold call to us is the one who told us we would have constant feedback during the process. Also, the female representative from your legal team repeated the same thing to us on the few times we did talk with them during the exchange of information about our timeshare. Once the legal team had all of the paperwork that was needed. The communication went silent. Like I have said in the past few correspondences, we were told and guaranteed one thing on the front end. Then deceived and lied to and scammed out of our money on the back end. Again, all one has to do is ****** your company and you don't have the best track record out there. And your company seems to have a reputation of Ripping People OFF and or not delivering what you guarantee in your contract. Like we have stated in the past few correspondences, a FULL REFUND is all we need to talk about. If anyone would like to call us to talk about this. Our phone number is on the contract, and unlike your company, this phone will be answered. We will gladly talk with anyone about a full refund. A FULL REFUND of everything we paid is what we are expecting according to the wording in the contract. Your company is in breech as it's been longer than a year and nothing has been resolved. Therefore, we are due a FULL REFUND.

On 10/25/23, I attended a meeting presented by AMS **** in **********, **. at ******************. During this meeting I informed the representative that I could not let my account with the timeshare company go into default because of my clearance and employment with the government so I would need to continue making payments during the process. Instead of signing a contract on 10/25, the representative told me he wanted to speak with the corporate office first and he'd call me before we proceeded. On 10/26/23 I paid AMS **** $10,500, which I was told was a discount because I'd be paying during the process. On 1/30/24 I had a consultation with RPC group (AMS legal team), who informed me that they wouldn't be able to help me exit my timeshare if I continued to pay and that they would contact AMS and notify them. On 2/6/24, I emailed AMS **** & informed them of the conversation with RPC *roup & requested a refund. After no response, I then called on 2/15, Moment's after talking to someone, I received a call from Mr. * who stated that he thinks there was a misunderstanding and RPC didn't understand me. He asked me to allow him a chance to make it right and if not he'd refund my money. He called me back and asked me if I could provide a statement from my employer stating that my credit couldn't be impacted and when I asked him what it needed to state, he said he'd have corporate send me an example. We exchanged texts and phone calls for several months. There were times when he had a virus and couldn't talk or he was in a meeting. I never got any emails from corporate and he repeatedly promised to have this template sent to me. I have not heard anything from Mr. * since 5/15/24. I have called and emailed every contact I have for AMS **** including the representative I signed the contract with whom stated that he wasn't currently working with the company, but would reach out to them. My last attempt to contact AMS **** was 6/18/24. I still haven't been contacted.Business Response

In May of 2023 we paid AMS Management $13,000 to rid us of our 2 timeshares. We were contacted by ******* *** of *** in May of 2024 stating they have come to a payout and resolution of our 2 timeshares, but they were requesting an additional $15,000 to complete, then she came back to say it would be an additional $6,500 totaling $34,500 paid to AMS Management. They are not returning my calls and I am getting nowhere with getting my money refunded. I feel so totally duped and scammed and ashamed for falling for such a fraudulent scam. I have attached information of all that has taken place.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: ******** was hired to rid us of our Timeshares, and we had a contract stating that if they are unable to do so in 1 year our money would be refunded. Not only did they get our initial payment of $13,000 they also were given an $15,000 and $6,500 with promises of payouts. I am embarrassed to have fallen prey to their scam. What I am willing to accept would be at least half of what we paid which would be $17,250.00. I feel this would be in good faith to end this situation. I am extremely disappointed there are companies that pry on people that want help. I hope this solution will be acceptable.

First of all, I believe the full amount of $34,500 should be returned as per the attached but in good faith we will consider accepting a partial refund of half of what we have paid you totaling $17,500. I would like conformation that this is agreeable to them and want to know when to expect payment. Their response was in good faith they would be willing to return partial without stating an amount or a time to receive it. The contract states that if in 1 year they are unable to get us out of our time shares, we would be refunded. Also, then to say they have come to a payout from the timeshare companies but would need additional monies which we paid them. Nothing they said or did was truthful and again I am ashamed to be in this position. I have attached again all the information. Thank you. *******Business Response

These are payments that she had us send you (AMS) because it was needed to receive our payout. She indicated that *** had come to agreement with the timeshare companies and that money was needed to complete. This never happened. This is beyond the initial $13,000 when we started the process.
