      Upon receipt of your correspondence advising of ****************** concerns, and in accordance with Bluegreens desire to provide each owner with education,resolution, and ongoing service, our ************* ********************** Specialist reached out by telephone and email August 15,2022, resulting in leaving messages that we wish to speak with her regarding her Better Business Bureau correspondence and providing direct contact information.Our Specialist reached out again by telephone on August 16 and August 17,2022, resulting in leaving voice messages and providing direct contact information.

      ****************** primary concern is with the status of their ownership with Bluegreen. Bluegreen is pleased to provide further clarification regarding the status of ************ and ****************** ownership.

      This message is in response to the Better Business Bureaus electronic mail correspondence received by Bluegreen Vacations on August 11, 2022, regarding the consumer correspondence of **************************** (****), and her rebuttal correspondence received on August 23, 2022. Thank you for reaching out to us on her behalf to apprise us of her continuing inquiry.

      Upon receipt of your correspondence advising of ****************** rebuttal,our ************* ********************** Specialist reached out by telephone and email August 23 and August 24, 2022, resulting in leaving messages that we wish to speak with her regarding her rebuttal correspondence,requesting her availability to speak by telephone, and providing direct contact information.

      Bluegreen desires to be responsive to ****************** concerns and resolve this matter. However, ****************** rebuttal correspondence does not identify any new issues to which Bluegreen has not already responded.

      Again, ****************** concern is wanting to be released from their ownership. Bluegreens ************* ********************** team has reviewed ************ and ****************** ownership closely.

      Bluegreen Explanation I have been the victim of an underhanded attack tactic by Bluegreen Vacation Club of **********, ******* that has jeopardized my investment of over $40,000 in the last seventeen years. Without any notice my access to the Bluegreen Reservation Website was terminated on June 16, 2022. Thinking it was a computer glitch I did not contact Bluegreen by phone till June 20th, and was told by a customer service representative that I had been placed in customer compliance and a letter had been mailed to explain the situation. * June 22nd I called again wanting to know when the letter had been mailed * Informed it was sent on June 20th, if I had any questions to email *****************************. * June 28th I emailed ************************ asking for information of the circumstances,* No response. *I received a phone call from ***** in the ************ office on July 14th concerning the poor on line survey I completed about my dissatisfaction with the phone conversation of June 22nd, ***** instructed me to send another email to ************************, and to call ************************. I told ************ had already sent an email with no response and that there was no reason to send another email and it was Bluegreens responsibility to contact me. In order to make our travel plans for 2023 I had to call Bluegreen and talk to a reservation specialist.After a lengthy conversation concerning my options for travel in 2023 I was able to make two reservations. She was unable to discuss why my account had been placed in customer compliance and the only way was to email *****************************. Placing our account in customer compliance without any explanation we are unable to take full advantages of all the customer benefits available. After being a loyal customer and paying maintenance fees plus our original investment, it leaves me to believe this organization is not ethical. Whatever help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

      You are correct there are no new issues.  I continue to be suspended.  Bluegreen continues to disregard my statement of non-commercial use.  They continue to accuse me of Commercial Use which is false.  They state my situation is unique and must be evaluated on its own circumstances, but they continually failed to evaluate.   They continue to refer me to their Customer Specialist ************************  He refers me to ***************************** who hasn't rectified the situation and is the only person I can contact.

      I dont know whats going on with our account with Bluegreen and our paperwork through Pinnacle but this is unacceptable! Pinnacle Vacations offered to cancel our Bluegreen timeshares and they gave us paperwork to sign for both contracts we had. One of the contracts was just points and the other was a fixed week kind of timeshare. We signed and returned all the necessary paperwork within the guidelines that they gave us. This all took place more than a year ago, almost 2 years. The updates theyve given to us during the past year over and over are just to tell us that paperwork is still being processed but have NEVER been able to give us a real confirmation that theyve closed our account. As if the whole thing didnt already make us anxious, we actually got a call a few months ago from the resort our timeshare was deeded to (Mountain Loft) saying that we needed to use our upcoming week. Why would we still be considered owners at this point and WHY would they be contacting us numerous times about this?!?! Weve been given no clarity whatsoever and the woman that helped us at Pinnacle, *****, has completed disappeared or just ignores us when we reach out. We need answers immediately. Bluegreen needs to confirm that were done with the timeshare, FOR GOOD.

      Bluegreen Vacation Club is the ultimate company when it comes to "Bait and Switch" tactics. They have completely locked me out of my account for a time before allowing me to call in to customer service to make reservations, which is little more than useless. They continue to severely restrict my account for "Suspicion of Unauthorized Commercial Activity", They have requested information from me that they already have and are playing games.

      We have been using Blue Green Resorts since 2007. For health reasons we needed to sell our deeded property so we listed the property with Pinnacle Vacations, a subsidiary of Blue Green. We sold the property in April, 2022, and were directed by the selling agent to submit all necessary paperwork, which was done by May 9, 2022. We have been told, after numerous phone calls to Pinnacle, and Sterling Title Properties, that Blue Green must submit Estoppel (proof of ownership) papers to Sterling. To date (August 4) this has not been done. Sterling Title now tells me that even if they receive the Estoppel by tomorrow it will take five or six more weeks before we can receive the money from the sale. In the meantime, I fear that Blue Green will send me an invoice for maintenance fees, due in September. These fees are quite substantial, and I am not in a position to pay them.In the meantime, my husband passed away on April 23, so I am trying to resolve this problem by myself (a copy of his death certificate was sent to Pinnacle along with our final papers by May 9, 2022.)Many calls to Blue Green and "chats" to their customer service department have yielded no information. I would deeply appreciate your help in resolving this dilemma.Yours truly,*******************

      Im reaching out because Im a bit concerned about whether or not Bluegreen is playing games with me as an owner. They actually sent me release paperwork to get out my timeshare at the end of last year so I signed those documents and sent them back. As far as I know that only cancelled ONE of the contracts. Theres another one that I still owed money on that Id made clear to ********************** I also wanted to cancel because I cant afford it and I dont want it. They wouldnt send me paperwork to cancel this one, instead they just sent late notices and stuff telling me Im delinquent and trying to get me to pay. Ive told them more than enough times the REASONS Im ready to be done with their company and I really hoped they would do something about the other contract too. It doesnt do me much good to have one of the contracts terminated if theyre just going to keep chasing me down for the other one and threatening my credit.

      Dear ********************:

      This message is in response to the Better Business Bureaus electronic mail correspondence received by Bluegreen Vacations on August 3, 2022, regarding the consumer correspondence of *****************************. Thank you for reaching out to us on her behalf to apprise us of her inquiry.

      Bluegreen is committed to providing excellence in customer service and to ensuring our owners and guests are satisfied with their overall experience. It is Bluegreens goal to provide a comprehensive and responsive support network so that owners and guests can focus on enjoyable and memorable vacations.

      Bluegreens records indicate that ************************************* and ****************************** first purchased a timeshare interest with the Bluegreen Vacation Club on January 24,2009. ************************************* and ************ increased their Points interest by purchasing additional contracts on July 3, 2017, and January 25, 2020. ********************* and ************ timeshare interest confers ownership of ***** Biennial Vacation **** Points.

      Upon receipt of your correspondence advising of ************ concern, and in accordance with Bluegreens desire to provide each owner with education,resolution, and ongoing service, our ************* ********************** Specialist reached out to ************ by telephone and email on August 5, 2022, resulting in leaving messages that we wish to speak with ************ regarding her Better Business Bureau correspondence and providing direct contact information. Our Specialist spoke with ********************** on August 10, 2022, listening to his concerns, reviewing the status of their account, and advising that a Pinnacle transfer had begun, which has requirements both owners would have to meet. Our Specialist informed ********************* that she would continue to reach out to ************ to provide the same information. Our Specialist also reached out to ************ by telephone on August 11 and August 12, 2022 again leaving voice messages that we are trying to reach her and providing direct contact information. Although we have been unable to speak with ************ directly, Bluegreen wishes to respond to ************ concern through the Better Business Bureau.

      ************ primary concern is regarding the status of the cancellation of their timeshare purchased on January 24, 2009. During their conversation on August 11, 2022, our Specialist advised ********************** the status of his and Ms. ************ and while they were offered relief in October of 2021, that ********************* and ************ did not move forward at that time. Our Specialist informed ********************** that he and ************ will need to agree what they wish to do with their ownership. Bluegreen would advise that ********************** and *********** would need to be current on maintenance fees to be eligible for the relief offered by Pinnacle Vacations. Additionally, Bluegreen would highly recommend that ************ schedule a time to speak with our Specialist, to receive further information.

      Bluegreens ************* ********************** team has reviewed ********************** and *********** ownership closely. After reviewing their ownership, Bluegreen finds that we will not provide the cancellation and refund requested for ********************** and ************. At this time, however, Bluegreen would advise that ******************** and ************ mortgage loan for their timeshare purchase on January 25, 2020, has been charged off due to nonpayment on November 3, 2021. Additionally, ******************** and ************ received a relief from Pinnacle Vacations for their purchase on July 3, 2017, in which ******************** and ************ were released from and their account was removed from our systems on January 18, 2022. Our Specialist would be happy to provide further information for ********************** and ************ if they wish to speak by telephone. Should ********************** and ************ have further questions or concerns, they have the direct contact information for our ***************************************************************************** **** Services

      After evaluating the lack of responses from Bluegreen Vacation Club, we would like to take this time to request that Bluegreen Vacation Club either confirms or denies the cancellation for contract # ******. We have been sending documents that require a response to Bluegreen Vacation Club. To this date we have not received a single response. Due to lack of response, we are assuming we have been cancelled out of our timeshare ownership from Bluegreen Vacation Club and are now relieved from this timeshare ownership. If this is not the case, please respond accordingly in relation to the continued matter of our request to form a mutual agreement from our timeshare referenced under contract # ******.
