I have owned ************************************ as a timeshare holder for over 30 years. I went to an update in February of 2024 with my son ******* ******. Unknown to me and without authorization they transferred my account into his name. He received the bill for the annual dues in October of 2024 and called and notified them. They stated they would take care of it and send me the bill which they did not. I called in January 2025 and again complained and was told it would be transferred back to me as the deed is in my name and they don't know how this happened. As of today this still has not been done. I attempted twice to contact the title services for the company to be placed on a waiting hold and after 30 minutes hung up on "due to high call volume" making it impossible to contact them. I have attached the tax bill from the state of California showing that I am the owner. I would like them to properly correct the paperwork and allow me access to my account.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: As you can see from the email correspondence with the company their response is to do what I have tried to do several times. They want me to call their title company. I have spoken with them twice and no change has been made. As my email and original complaint stated, I tried calling and after being on hold for 28 minute the call was disconnected with a message that due to high call volume they cannot take my call. This happened twice. I have asked for an email address to correspond with the title company with no response. They should have someone from their title company look into the complaint and resolve it. I appreciate your help in this matter as it has been ongoing for 6 and a half months.

On July 1st 2024, I purchased a promotional Hilton vacation package (Confirmation # **********) online for $111.38. My purchase was made while residing in ******, **********. Subsequently, my circumstances required me to cancel the package, and on Apr 2nd 2025, I contacted Hilton Grand Vacations to request a cancellation and a full refund. My request was denied, with HGV stating the package was non-refundable according to their policy. Upon carefully reviewing the confirmation email again after the denial, I was able to locate the non-refundable clause within a separate 'Terms and Conditions' document, which was only accessible via a hyperlink embedded in the email. However, this critical, non-refundable condition was not made clear or conspicuous prior to my completing the purchase. The main body of the email and promotional materials focused entirely on the package's benefits and discounted price, with no upfront mention of this significant restriction. The hyperlink to the full terms was in small print at the bottom of the email among several unrelated links, named "click here". I believe this failure to prominently display such a material term constitutes an unclear and misleading sales practice. Relying on the information presented clearly, I made the purchase without adequate awareness of this key restriction. Therefore, due to the lack of clear and conspicuous disclosure of the non-refundable policy prior to purchase, I request a full refund of $111.38Business Response

In April 2024, My husband and I attended a Hilton Grand Vacation Presentation in *********. On 09/23/24, we received a collections notice indicating we owed $1908.69 which included a $25.00 late fee and $27.73 in interest. At no time did we ever receive mail and/or e-mail notification of a bill due. I contacted the company on 09/23/2024, to receive an explanation. The customer service *** had no idea how to read our contract to explain the fees. She indicated the billing department would get back to us. Several days later, the billing department sent us the same bill with no explanation. In October 2024, we attended which we were told would be an orientation (which we paid for) on how to utilize the system in *********. That was not the intent, it was intended to upsell. We asked the above questions to our *** that day - ****** **** - and he indicated we should have been contacted for orientation which we never received. ****** indicated that we would have to pay the annual assessments each year although we only get points every other year. We confirmed that because we had paid $1908.00 that we would not pay again until 2026 which he stated yes, but stated our first year should have been adjusted to reflect April - December which it was not. Today 03/29/25, I logged into our account to look for upcoming vacations and checked the financial statements. Again, they have a collections notice with late fees and interest, and again, we never received a statement via mail and/or e-mail. There is an additional $309.00 Late Fee regarding points that we have no idea what it is. We paid rollover amount for points when w/******. We have been with ****** Vacation Club for over 15 years and never experienced anything such as this.Initial Complaint

I am filing this complaint regarding Hilton Grand Vacations in relation to two timeshare contractsone for a property in *******, ** (Contract #**-535253), and a newer one for ****************** (Contract #**-516982). I legally canceled the Las Vegas contract on March 24, 2025, within the 5-day rescission window under Nevada Revised Statute 119A.410. H3**2353132373**13037H acknowledged that cancellation and is processing a refund of my $2,490.** down payment.However, they are refusing to return the $6,765.15 in trade-in equity from my prior ******* contract. That equity was applied toward the now-canceled Las Vegas purchase, and I was clearly informed by H3**2353132373**13037H representativesincluding a licensed real estate agent listed on my contractthat I would no longer be responsible for the ******* ownership. H3**2353132373**13037H appears to be relying on a clause that states ownership may revert to a prior contract if the new one is not completed. However, this clause refers to failed closings due to financing or escrownot cancellations made under legal rescission. My cancellation was lawful and acknowledged by H3**2353132373**13037H, which voids the new contract entirely. Therefore, reactivating the old contract and retaining the trade-in equity contradicts both the intent of the transaction and consumer protections under Nevada law.I have made several attempts to resolve this by email, requesting clarification and full cancellation of both contracts. While H3**2353132373**13037H responded to the Las Vegas cancellation, they have completely ignored all questions and documentation related to the ******* contract. Desired Resolution:Written confirmation that I am fully released from Contract #**-535253 (*******)Full refund of the $6,765.15 in trade-in equity Confirmation that no negative credit reporting will occur on either contract I am asking H3**2353132373**13037H to honor the written and verbal representations made by their own staff and close this matter fairly and in accordance with state law.Customer Answer

Thank you for your continued support in my open complaint with Hilton Grand Vacations.
I want to share that I recently received a follow-up message from Hilton representative ******, who stated she is working on the latest email I sent regarding my request for a more reasonable and sustainable deed option. I appreciate her willingness to respond, and Im hopeful we may still find a resolution.
However, at this time, I would like to respectfully request that this complaint remain open until a final and fair resolution has been reached. While communication is continuing, my original concerns regarding misrepresentation, lack of flexibility, and the reversion of my deed remain unresolved.
I have made every effort to work with Hilton in good faithincluding offering alternative options, trying to compromise, and clearly explaining my financial limitationsbut I have not yet been met in the middle. I am still hopeful that can change, and I will be sure to provide an update once progress is made.
Thank you again for your support and for allowing this issue to remain active while discussions continue.

I purchased a "VIP" package from HGV but after trying over a dozen times they never have availability for me to use the points in the locations allowed. I called today and was told my package expired and now I basically lose the money I've already spent without being able to take a single vacation due to their lack of availability. Very shady practices and the customer service makes these claims, but they have rooms available on the website every time I was denied a room. It is a scam, and I would like to be able to use the service I paid for or have my money refunded. I found hundreds of complaints online that mention the same issues.Business Response

We are requesting the cancellation of our timeshare contract with Hilton Grand Vacations due to the ongoing confusion, financial burden, and lack of practical use. Since purchasing the timeshare, we have struggled with the complicated and restrictive booking system, unclear point allocations, and constant difficulty in finding availability that meets our familys needs. Despite upgrading our contract in hopes of resolving these issues, the process remains frustrating and financially drainingespecially with the escalating annual maintenance fees, which have risen significantly and unpredictably. Most concerning is the realization that this increasing financial obligation would eventually be passed on to our children, something we never intended. For these reasons, we urgently request cancellation of this contract.Business Response

Our ********* ownership has created severe financial and personal hardships that we can no longer sustain, and we want to get rid of all of our contracts with Hilton. Below are the key reasons for our decision:1. Severe Financial Hardship:Due to a significant loss of income, we can no longer meet our financial obligations for daily living. Our monthly timeshare expenses now exceed our monthly income, making it impossible for us to continue without risking further financial instability.2. Misleading Sales Practices:Throughout our ownership, we encountered multiple instances of misleading information about the true costs and resale value of our timeshare. Specifically, we were told that we paid $1,356,275 for ******* points over 30 years and that the Diamond point value for ******* points was priced at $1,973,500. We were repeatedly assured we could resell our ownership for as much or more than we originally paid, only to later learn that there is no viable market for selling it.Additionally, the timeshare presentations we attended were marketed as brief 90-minute sessions to update us on our ownership, yet these sessions often lasted over four hours. We felt pressured to stay, contrary to the promised timeframe. We were also misled about the costs associated with maintenance fees. One salesperson claimed that purchasing additional points would elevate our ownership level and reduce these fees; however, our fees have only continued to rise.3. Medical Conditions:Due to worsening health issues, we are no longer physically able to travel and make use of the timeshare. This inability to utilize the timeshare only increases the financial burden we are already facing.We struggle with eating, sleeping, and maintaining our mental health due to the stress caused by this timeshare. It has strained our marriage, and we cannot continue in this situation.Business Response
