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.Business Response

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.

My name is ******************************* *****, and I have ***** of ******** to act for my sister in the matter because she has advanced cognitive impairment. My sister, *******************************, entered in contractual agreement with Client Protection Group, LLC (CPG) in March of 2021. The contract specified an 18-month period of time in which CPG would facilitate an exit from her timeshare contract with Wyndham Vacation Resorts. CPG violated a number of contractual obligations: They did not keep her informed regarding progress on the process, actually refusing to supply answers to direct questions. They did not refund the fee, $7,900.00, when the exit was not accomplished after 18 months. Instead they insisted they needed another 12 months to work on the exit, saying they didn't know there was a mortgage, information they should have had over 18 months earlier if they had been working on the exit. The last communication with CPG occurred in February of 2024 when ***************************, **************** Manager, said she would refer my email to management. I exchanged numerous phone calls, first with a person named ****** who informed me that the exit was in its final stages, which was a lie. I finally had to call from a different number in order to speak to ****** because he would not answer if I called from my phone. ****** referred me to ******* with whom I have communicated mainly by emails, which I have retained. In one email, ******* said management recommended that I file a complaint with the California ******** General's office, which I have done. It is apparent CPG has nor had any intention to secure the exit or refund the fee. They have been deceptive, uncooperative, and dismissive throughout this process. My sister needs the funds requested to help with soon-to-be-incurred expenses related to her condition. In Stipulation 11 of the Contract she signed with CPG, she agreed to "...accept [CPG's] 100% Money-Back Guarantee Policy."Business Response

We contracted with this company in early 2022 to get us out of our timeshare. We were promised that nothing would hit our credit. We have asked for a resolution several times and even asked for our money back. As of 2/13/2024 there is still no resolution and my credit score has been impacted negatively, preventing me from getting an apartment.Business Response

We recognize that navigating this process can be challenging and frustrating for everyone involved. All of our clients are informed that if they choose to cease payments on their timeshare obligations, there's a possibility of non-payment being reported to credit bureaus. However, in such cases, we are committed to rectifying any negative impacts on their credit history. While this may take some time, the eventual outcome will be a restoration of their credit standing, along with a successful exit from their timeshare commitment.
For any further inquiries or concerns, we encourage the client to reach out to our ************************Initial Complaint

On 07/23/2020, I entered into an agreement ($1950) with Client Protection Group LLC (herein further referred to as CPG), located at ********************************************************************************************** (*************************************) to speak on my behalf related to my interest in ************************* ownership for the purpose of eliminating my ownership in a timeshare within 12 months of entering into said agreement. Following the time period outlined in the agreement with CPG, the services requested were not performed, the timeshare association declared bankruptcy, and I am seeking refund for services not rendered.Business Response

In July 2020, this client enlisted our services amidst the challenges presented by the ******19 pandemic, resulting in initial procedural delays. Despite these obstacles, we persevered in addressing her situation, and upon the conclusion of the 12-month period, she was presented with the option to either terminate the contract and receive a full refund or continue our services without incurring additional fees.
Our steadfast commitment to her case remained resolute as we adhered to our established protocols, consistent with our approach to handling each client's situation. It was only in October 2022 that we were apprised of the imminent foreclosure of her timeshare.
Our primary focus is to assist individuals in liberating themselves from timeshare obligations while concurrently safeguarding their credit. In the event of any adverse reporting, our systematic intervention is designed to expedite the removal of such records.
In this specific instance, we effectively preempted the reporting of any late payments throughout the entire process. Subsequent to the closure of the account, we conducted a meticulous follow-up to ensure the absence of any unfavorable reporting.
Our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions underscores our dedication to resolving our clients' concerns with the utmost professionalism and efficacy.

May 27, 2022, Client Protection Group POC ********************* called me by phone to provide assistance in exiting my newly bought Time Share. They promised an exit with a 1-time pymt of $3500 and an 18 month time frame with full refund if unable to exit the timeshare. I agreed. Over these past ***************************************************************************************** status from Client Protection Group. In October 2023 I discussed with ***************************** my request for a full refund as it was evident after many of my phone calls that they were unable to assist my husband and I to exit our Time Share. I ask for assistance with obtaining a full refund, as I have found them to be an unreliable source of Time Share Elimination and unable to fulfill their promises to customers without ruining once's credit, which ***** would willfully do such a thing if they had a choice and come to find out one can legally exit a Time Share with **************** Vacations legally & without ruining one's good credit score. ****** said I could write a letter requesting my refund but she could not guarentee our refund would be granted and returned to us. I am contacting you to request assistance in obtaining our $3500 promised refund after 18 months time as of NOV 2023.Business Response

We acknowledge that navigating this process can be both frustrating and time-consuming. As a ******************************* we often find ourselves engaged in a dynamic process akin to a 'Cat & Mouse' game with timeshare developers, necessitating frequent adaptations to new procedures.
The case notes indicate that our Case Manager Team is presently in the final stages of addressing this specific case. Moreover, it's noted that the client has been in contact with our Customer Support Team.
Please be assured that we remain steadfast in our commitment to see this process through to completion. Despite the elapsed time frame, the ultimate outcome will align with the intended resolution. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work diligently toward a successful resolution.

Entered into a contract for Termination of timeshare ownership on 8/4/2020 with Client protection Group. Cost was $2,495.00. I followed all the requirements and completed all the needed paperwork. It has now been almost 3 years and this company has not been able to succeed with Holiday Inn Vacations to cancel my timeshare and protect my credit.I have correspondence with the ***************** dating back to April 13,2021 and most recently May 17,2023. In both letters they state they will not negotiate with third party companies like Client Protection Company. Client protection company has and still maintains they are still working on my case. That is why I have not filed with the BBB till now and the **************** Attorney General fraud division. Repeated phone calls and emails have result in one phone call from clerical personnel stating case is active and will be referred to case managers.I have asked for their advertised 100% moneyback guarantee.Business Response
