Network Mortgage
Complaint 145553 Details

In May, Daniel Diaz called and inquired if we wanted to sell our Mayan Palace Resorts Timeshare. We said yes but we would not put any money upfront because we had been scammed before. He said that was okay that a buyer was interested in purchasing our timeshare "Mayan Palace Resorts" for $27,890.00. After signing the contract Mr. Diaz said we had to to pay a transfer fee of $2789.00 and that the buyer had reimbursed us already. Network Mortgage would get a 5% commission fee once we have received our final payout. This contract was dated May 10,2012. Daniel Diaz was the Purchasing Executive, License ID#01501436, (626) 310-3270. The adress for Network Mortgage is:
926 N. Citrus Ave. Suite #1505, Covina CA 91723. The transfer fee was to be put in the escrow account.
We then were told to pay a fee of $2,000 that was to be held with International Real Estate Services (acting escrow company) 3103 Garey Ave. Pamona CA 91767 ph 323-208-6022 Sonia Alvarez, Sr. Escrow Rep. and they will be responsible via Advance Premium Finance to help disperse funds. They then said that we had to pay a capital gains tax of $6135.80 to the Mexican Government via wire transfer and that will finalize the sale. I said that was incorrect since we paid $12,000 plus another timeshare.They came back and said it would be $3129.35 instead and would finalize the sale. We complied on July 20, 2012. The escrow company said the payment could not be made because the Mexican government wanted a Proof of Recognition Charge of $7,100. We said we did not have any more money (we are retired). Because we declined to pay for this fee, they cancelled the contract and told us "After speaking to Mexico your client will not be reimbursed for any of the payments He or She has made to Mexico." This came to us from Melissa Cooper, Director of International Transactions for Advance Premium Finance Inc., 1301 Dove Street, Suite 330, Newport Beach, CA 92660. The escrow said we were in default and were not getting any money back after cancellation. Then Keith Cox, head of the finance company, said that for another $2090.00 they would try to get our funds returned.
