Timeshare buyers are scammed, but file charges against timeshare company under Nevada Elder Abuse Laws.

Timeshare buyers, Robert and Ellen Gooden have filed a claim against Summer Bay Resorts saying they were victimized by dishonest timeshare sales practices. The charges, filed last month, include two separate lawsuits over timeshare sales deals involving Consolidated Resorts Inc and Summer Bay Resorts.

The lawsuit against Summer Bay timeshare sales company alleges, “While in the process of signing the necessary paperwork to effectuate the sale of plaintiffs’ interest in the subject condominium project, an employee of the … defendants slipped in papers unbeknownst to the plaintiffs which consisted of a purchase agreement for the acquisition of additional property.” In other words, when the Goodens thought they were signing paperwork to help them sell timeshare they already owned, they contend they actually were tricked into buying timeshare at another project.

The Las Vegas Sun reported that the Goodens did not know they had agreed to buy timeshare at the other timeshare resort until they received a credit card receipt in the mail that indicated a timeshare sales transaction. They also say they had the opportunity to buy timeshare at this resort as much as a year previously, at a lower price, and had declined to purchase it then.

Baby Boomers and Senior Citizens Fight Back Against Timeshare Sales Fraud

The Goodens are in their sixties and to many readers of The Timeshare Authority blog, that doesn’t make them sound all that elderly, nor is there anything to indicate that they have mental or physical challenges that cause them to be uniquely vulnerable because of their age. Nevertheless, when the laws work in your favor, why not use them?

And if in fact, the timeshare sales agent did slip extra documents into the stack of papers these Baby Boomers were signing then, good for the Goodens for using every angle of the legal system available to them in seeking justice. In a case like this, it doesn’t matter if you are 27, 47, or 67. When a sales person says one thing and does another, without your knowledge or consent, he or she and the company he works for should be made to pay.

We will try to keep tabs on this one as it develops.
