Colonial Crossings of Williamsburg Complaint - Timeshare! Colonial Crossings Of Williamsburg - Beware! - Timeshare Ownership/Visit/Total Fraud

Timeshare Ownership/Visit/Total Fraud - Complaint
Review by angelina1 on 2009-02-17
WILLLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA -- I own one timeshare in Williamsburg w/RCI reservation, have many weeks, can go hundreds of places in US & overseas (but usually can't get "the good places" even after years on a list. BUT a new timeshare came to Williamsburg, VA in 2005, Colonial Crossings, PUSHING AN INDOOR WATERPARK, outside LAZYRIVER, HORSEBACK RIDING, etc. WE COULD NOT GO THERE WITH OUR OTHER TIMESHARE BECAUSE THIS COMPANY ONLY USED INTERVAL RESERVATION SYSTEM, NOT RCI. So we bought because my precious grandson was only 1 and wanted it FOR HIM. (Otherwise, we had gone to Williamsburg our whole life, and would never have visited our timeshare there).

GUESS WHAT, THEY VERY CAREFULLY DID NOT MENTION ANYWHERE IN OUR CONTRACT ANYTHING ABOUT THE ABOVE AMENITIES. It's 2009 and STILL NOTHING! I did get one letter about "water problems". I've been told I can't file a suit because it's past the statute of limitation! I still owe thousands and this will ruin my credit because I REFUSE TO PAY ANY LONGER! What's there now? the original old buildings, which smell musty and something is wrong with the air/heat/ventilation and a small new section with NO FURNITURE YET.

My friends visited and LEFT AFTER ONE HOUR~! I need help?

Thanks,
Linda

Why are you complaining about Colonial Crossing when your timeshare is with a different company?
Posted by angelina1 on 2009-02-17:
did you get my reply? sorry if I confused anyone. I have 2 timeshares-colonial crossings of Williamsburg promised 4 yrs ago when just opening, HUGE indoorwater park in 1-2 years. NOTHING. lazy river on the outside around the place, horsebackriding, et.c NOTHING. yet i'm paying a fortune and 1 yr old grandson BIG NOW. Massnutten ski resort promised "sleeps 8" yes, it does, 4 a year "every other year". wow.

Ok, you have 2 different timeshares with 2 different companies... i see. I am trying to find any old newspapers from about that time to see if they made any official announcements regarding a water park.

Please see my post from 1/16/2011. I am very interested in investigating what avenues are available for us to pursue.
I made my complaints known to the folks at Colonial Crossings...at least they stopped calling me for referrals!!

I am totally in. We were lied to about the waterpark....and the ability to exchange for the Bahamas. We have tried to exchange it several times and no luck even year out. I found throught thw waybacktimemachine that they used to mention the waterpark on their website, but no longer do. Hmmmm. I tried to get them to take it back since its paid for, they refused. They just want to stick me with the maintenance fees for the rest of my life because no one else wants this place. I could just stop paying the maintenane fees but I dont want to take the credit hit right now. I can afford to pay them but I dont WANT to because they lied to me and this place is a dump. Help. I'm filing with BBB next week. I noticed they lost their accredidation Jan 5th of this year.

I was a colonial crossings owner and tried to give my timeshare back as well, it was paid off as well,and I also did not want to take a credit hit either. I contacted a company in Williamsburg to sell the timeshare for me, instead of selling my timeshare I did a deed assumption. I paid the legal fees closing costs and I was out of that timeshare now it is someone elses problem not mine. the # to the place is 757-258-5863 if you want out..
