  My wife and I was invited to a timeshare elimination luncheon. After completion of the presentation and after a lengthy discussion we agreed to enter an contract for the elimination of of my interest in two time shares, ****** and one on the cape of MA for $6,000. The asked us to provide a letter for each timeshare documenting pressure from the seller and deeds and other information. They indicated that it would take them 3 to 12 months to complete this effort or a refund of all our money. This was about 4 months ago. The first 2 months, i had no trouble with regular communications with the company. Last month, i called several times and was told that a one of their local law firms had been trying to get in touch with me. After no law firm contact, called them a second time with same promise that a local law firm would be contacting me. For the last few times i called, got a recording stating that their number was temporarily out of order.

  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
  

  We can confirm that all parties, including our legal partners, are actively working on the client's case. The process can vary in duration depending on the cooperation of the resorts involved, but we remain committed to the resolution.
  

  In regard to the phone line issue: our customer service number ************** is fully operational. If the client received a temporarily out of order message, that must have been an isolated technical error. We encourage them to reach out again, and a representative will be available to assist.
  

  We are also reviewing this case internally to ensure timely follow-up and continued progress.
  

  Sincerely,
  Client Protection Group

  I had been speaking with ***** ******** of Client Protection Group. I was skeptical about using a timeshare exit group, especially one with upfront fees, but am feeling desperate to get out of out Wyndham timeshare that is draining out source if funds.After speaking with *****, who stated there was no obligation to use their service, Against his better judgment, my husband signed the contract with ********************************** because I explained that they could get us out of our timeshare. I immediately sent a text to ***** to have her cancel or rescind the contract as my husband was working with Wyndham to exit our timeshare. I received a text that stated, the contract could not be canceled because it had been signed by Client Protection Group. She initially said we were not obligated to stay with them or use their service UCFS. I was told there were no upfront fees. We have no documentation that states our Wyndham timeshare is canceled now that we have a contract to pay ****. Therefore, these are upfront fees. Furthermore, ****** with CPG constantly texted. He explained the cost that we would spend with Wyndham over time and that there is no market or resale value for the timeshare. In the same string of texts I was asked, what if CPG could try to recoup some of our money from Wyndham, would that possibly get my husband to speak with them. I advised possibly his purpose for working with Wyndham Exit Program. I was texted that there was a slight chance to recoup some of the money we have spent. Then, in the very next text I was informed as quoted..Unfortunately, the only options at this point for you and your husband are : pay Wyndham $170,900 in the next 10 years , which would all be a loss because there is no value , and there is no way to sell it for a profit in the future. Or pay $13,000 to cancel it, and have a chance at getting back a small amount from Wyndham through our recovery departmentAt least Wyndham has a cancellation period!

  This company keeps calling me no matter how many times I ask them to stop. Companies that do this work aren't hard to find and most of them are some form of scam. I am not aware whether this company is also a scam, but the fact that I have on multiple occasions asked them to remove my number shows a lack of respect for prospective clients.

  Client Protection Group made a contract with me to rid me of my timeshare within what they said would be 18 months. They said they would take care of all of the maintenance fees during this time. Presently they have not taken care of it and I have 2 years of maintenance fees. I have gotten three letters about Hilton Grand Vacations taking a lien out on my property. They claim it is just a "threat" and is not real. They have also said that the lien is out on the timeshare property and not my home. I have called at least 6 times, and the manager has not returned my call, and they have giving me not resolution to this issue.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 07/10/2025

  We appreciate the opportunity to respond.
  

  Regarding the lien notices, resorts like Hilton Grand Vacations often use these types of letters to intimidate owners into continued payments. In most cases, these liens apply only to the timeshare interestnot the clients personal property.

  Lastly, our records don't show any calls. Please make sure you are using the correct Customer Support phone number, which is **************.

  STAY FAR AWAY! DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!I am extremely frustrated with Client Protection Group (********. In November 2023, I was contacted by *** with the promise of getting me out of my Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV) timeshare (which, for the record, I also do NOT recommend). I dont know how they got my contact information, but they had information about my purchasing of an HGV timeshare earlier that year. I initially thought it was a scam, but I looked at their rating on the BBB website and decided to go with them. Things seemed to be progressing as expected early on in the process. I also understood that this would not be a quick or simple process. However, it is now March 2025, and I have not received a single meaningful update since September 2024six months of silence after nearly a year of supposed progress. The last communication I received was an email in September 2024 stating that *** had 45 days to respond to paperwork that *** allegedly sent out. Yet, I have not been provided with any proof of this paperwork, any details on what was sent, or any updates on the response. I have called and emailed numerous times since September, only to be ignored or brushed off. My emails have gone unanswered, and when I call, I get the same runaround: "We have to look into your file."It is blatantly clear that this company lacks internal communication and accountability or is just simply a downright scam. No one seems to know anything about my case, and I have received zero substantive information for half a year. After reviewing the BBB complaints (which I regret not doing before signing with them), I see a disturbing pattern: this company takes your money and runs!At this point, my only interest is to demand a full refund of the money I paid ($5,850) for services that *** has completely failed to deliver. If I do not receive a response in a timely manner, I will pursue further action to hold CPG accountable for their deceptive business practices.

  I was called by Client Protection LLC on 10/2/2024, they asked me if I was interested in exiting my Wyndham Timeshare and I told them I was already with a company that was helping me, they asked me the name of the company and then told me that they were scamming me and that the company that I had hired to help me had been shut down, and went into a long list of bad things about the company and unfortunately I believed them. So that made me think I needed help immediately. I told Client Protection that I have cancer for the second time and am in the middle of cancer treatments and that I am not in a very strong minded place. They took advantage of my weakness and convinced me to sign with them that day. $12,500 I paid them. I called on 10/7/ 24 and had sent an email prior to calling to cancel and they told me I was passed my 3 day rescission cancelation time which is nowhere in the documents. Come to find out on 10/25 the company that I hired to help originally is in business and diligently working on my case like they said they would. Client Protection flat out lied to me about EVERYTHING! We called again to cancel and I was told they would not do a chargeback on my CC for various reasons, and they would send me a check for $7,500 because they had already done work, it doesn't matter because they lied to me to me to get my business. I paid them $12,500! I absolutely do not trust this company and neither should anyone else. ****** *****, and *** are who we spoke with and are very unethical people trying to get my business with scare tactics and elderly abuse. I want every ***** of my money they took from me back on my CC that is the only reconciliation I will agree to. I should have known when I got a fraud alert on my phone when they ran my CC, ***** told me to ignore it. So whoever reads this beware!

  I am requesting this case be reopened. The business has not responded to my satisfaction. I have received an email from them requesting if I remove the bbb complaint, they will reimburse the full amount of 12,500$ they also did not respond to the bbb till 12/27, requesting that I contact their customer services ***** I have the email as well as a legal dispute letter that was sent to them in December. Unfortunately I do not know how to forward the email or the dispute letter which is in pdf format. This will only be resolved if full reimbursement is obtained. Which is also in dispute via c.c. This dispute has been going on since October 2024. If there is any way a technically can forward the email and pdf letter, please let me know

  CLIENT PROTECTION GROUP SOLICITED ME BY TELEPHONE TO SELL ME A CONTRACT TO HAVE CPG CANCEL A TIME SHARE I OWN AND FORWARDED ME BY EMAIL, A CONTRACT, WHICH I SIGNED. HOWEVER, ***'S CONTRACT VIOLATED BOTH Californias Home Solicitation Sales Act Law CC ******, ( WHERE CPG IS LOCATED) AND New York Personal Property Law 443 ( WHERE I RESIDE). I AM ENTITILED TO RESCIND THE CONTRACT WITH *** BECAUSE ***'S CONTRACT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE SPECIFIC LENGTHY CANCELLATION LANGUAGE REQUIRED BY NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA LAWS . Further, ***'S CONTRACT VIOLATED .CA Civ Code ****** (a)(1) which requires that the vendor provide a five-day recession period when the buyer is a senior citizen. The statute defines a senior citizen , as an individual who is older 65 years of age or older; I was seventy-five when COG solicited me.

  I am writing in response to the complaint from [Client's Name], who enrolled in our services on May 21, 2024. After enrolling, this client did not respond to our repeated attempts to reach him by phone and email to gather the necessary documents needed to cancel his timeshare. Our agreement clearly outlines a 3-day window for cancellation, during which he could have easily contacted us to cancel if he had chosen to.

  
  On July 12, 2024, we received a letter from the client's attorney, claiming we had violated a law by not providing a way for him to cancel. However, this claim is inaccurate, as the contract he signed fully detailed the process and time frame for cancellation.

  
  Nearly two months have passed since his enrollment, and despite the client failing to provide the necessary documents, we have made several good-faith attempts to resolve the situation. We have even offered a significant refund and a heavily discounted rate to complete the timeshare cancellation as originally agreed. Unfortunately, the client has not responded, and his attorney continues to demand a full refund, which is not reasonable given the terms of our agreement and the fact that he has not fulfilled his obligations.

  
  We are confident that we have acted both fairly and in accordance with the law. We are still open to working with the client to resolve the matter under the terms of our agreement, should he decide to engage with us.

  
  Thank you for your attention to this issue. Please let us know if any further information or documentation is required.

  Over a year and a half ago i contacted Client Protection to get my time share cancelled, as they had a good BBB rating. At that time I talked to ****, and he said they would have it resolved within the year, or I would get my money returned. At the start, I never got called from them to give me an update on the process, but when I called them they would return my calls. I was also told to stop making the monthly maintenance fee, so I did. My credit has been very much affected by this, and I don't have the funds to bring it up to date. I have called them several times, always get the recorder, leave messages with my phone number, but no return calls I would like to know ehere the process is now.

   I was contacted by **** ****** with Client Protection telling me he could get me out of my 

  timeshare, that I wanted to get out of.  He said it would be guaranteed and it would only cost me $3,500.00. I paid that amount reluctantly, as I had already had this promise made to me by 2 other scammers. I have filed against them also, but no results. I trusted **** and thought he could gat the job done. This was a year and a half ago. I have worked all my life, could never do this to anyone, and would like to see scammers shut  down.  I have not had my calls answered as to the progress they are making, so I am sure they have just taken the money and left me out again.  please see if there is anything that can be done to help me and others. Thank you

  On August 2nd 2022 I contracted with Client Protection Group for their timeshare elimination services. I would contact them every several months to see where the process was and they told me it was still in process and may *********** months. At that time the process still was not completed so I waited the *********************************************************** that the timeshare had been eliminated but would not give me any written documentation of such and to this date still have not received any to indicate that the timeshare company actually agreed to eliminate my responsibility. I feel that the job will be completed only when they give me written documentation from the time share company

  In early 2022 we entered into a contract with this company. For our $2300 they guaranteed within 18 months they would get us out of our timeshare and during the process my credit would NOT be affected. It is over two years now and along with no resolution to our timeshare, my credit has 24 missed payments on it and is barely above 600. It has dropped over 100 points because of this. Everytime I contact the company I am told to send all this to their company that supposedly takes care of this. I had done it at least 5 or 6 times before realizing that not only is the company not doing anything about my credit, but they are not doing anything about the timeshare. They have never reached out since they took our money. They guaranteed a service and did nothing toward that guarantee. I send in correspondence from the timeshare company as they told me to do, I send in updated credit reports as they told me to do, I sent a letter to the Florida district attorney, as they told me to do.They have done nothing. Not even a phone call to pretend they care.

  Our contract explicitly states that halting timeshare payments may result in credit repercussions. Nonetheless, we are committed to assisting clients until their credit is restored to the pre-engagement state. Transparency is crucial, and we highlight that rectifying credit in these cases may take an extended period. Our guarantee is communicated clearly and openly. Furthermore, we have maintained communication with this client, underscoring the difficulties associated with this specific timeshare.

  We are fully dedicated to seeing this process through to the end. While it has taken some time, we are making sure that the final result meets our intended resolution. We thank you for your understanding and patience as we continue to work diligently towards achieving a successful outcome.
