I owned a unit at a resort and then purchased another unit at the same resort. The second unit I purchased had a flaw with the deed. (I wrote about this last summer because I was having problems with Resort Closings, Inc.) I signed the deed back to resort closings and STUPIDLY I think I did not keep all the paperwork because I had received my money back and figured that since the money was returned and I didn't own the unit, it didn't make sense to store more papers. **###*_*(*##@@ARGH!

Today I phoned the resort to make an extra reservation outside of my use week. I was told they didn't have me on record as an owner. When they looked up my week, they said it had been sold to MROP. EEEEEEEKKKK! Either my timeshare company or resort closings somehow transferred MY week, rather than the week I had purchased and returned, to MROP. Or there is just some major mix-up going on. I have to phone Monday to find out why my unit is now listed as MROP.

What a mess.

Has anyone ever had their owned week mysteriously get sold??

Thanks for any ideas. I'll write again Monday after talking with my timeshare management company.

I have been having some problems with Resort closing too they transfered one of the units I purchased into gotimeshares name and now the resort wont allow it to be transfered again, they had to refund my money (hopefully I will get it back soon).

Were you able to fix your problem?

Grand Pacific has two resort transfer options.
$150 for a straight transfer
$300 for Grand Pacific to basically do a ownership and title search.

Resort closings charges $425, which is supposed to include the "search" , but when closing on a Grand Pacific week, they charge $425, plus $300 and it's not negotiable.

I can call Grand Pacific and get the info myself. I could use Timeshare transfer for a total of $250.00 + $150 resort transfer , compared to $425 + $300.. That's where the reseller that owns both companies makes all their money off the donated timeshares they get.

After saying all that, they did close my timeshare timely and also helped me get back a banked week that was promised.

I figure in all the extra costs when bidding on ebay

I don't know how this relates, but as a MROP owner, I saw a while back that ORE took over the management of a troubled resort and rather than keep the original deeded weeks in place, they offered to give each TS owner a week in MROP floating program in exchange for their deed. (I believe there was a cash-out option too).

Don't know if that happened at your resort?

It turns out that when I was trying to purchase the second unit, VRI (the management company for my resort) never recorded the new unit in my name. So when the unit was sold to MROP, VRI told Resort Closings that the APN (Assessor's Processing Number) was incorrect and VRI actually gave them the APN for my original unit. So Resort Closings changed the APN on the deed for the second unit to the APN for the deed from my first unit. Resort Closings has assured me that this will all be cleared up.

I am really shocked by the whole thing. It's amazing that VRI could just give them the APN for my original unit. And then they told me that since I had signed a deed I had no recourse. It wasn't until I spoke with Resort Closings that the whole thing started to make any sense. But they have been very helpful with trying to straighten out this whole thing. I'm just hoping it all does get straightened out.

I'll update when I hear back from Resort Closings

Now VRI is saying they cannot transfer my unit back to me until Resort Closings files a corrective deed. This will likely take more than a month to get recorded, so I'll probably not be able to make a reservation for July 4 week, 2006.

Does anyone know if I have any recourse? I should be able to still reserve a week for my unit because I never signed papers selling my original unit. The deed I signed clearly shows the unit number for the second unit I attempted to purchase, with the APN for that unit on it.

I've considered contacting the County, to say that VRI management has shown negligence in this transaction by giving the APN for my first unit to Resort Closings to file a corrective deed on the second unit.

Any ideas on how to try to fix this? It seems to me that the recorded deed should be considered defective because the unit number on the deed and APN do not match on the corrective deed. I mentioned this to VRI, and they said that they go by APN and not unit number. Then I asked them how it is that they could just give Resort Closings the APN for my original unit if that is the case! (Particulary since the original deed transferring the unit from me to MROP had the APN for the actual unit that was supposed to be transferred and a description of the unit number on the deed.)

ARGH!

Thanks for any advice.
