    I live in the suburban area of Chicagoand I too made an appointment with My Signature Club by…read moreAngwell Travel, LLC in April of 2014. They did take my timeshare and gave me their Travel Club which I really did not want to do. All I wanted to do is DUMP the timeshare which they did do through TimeShare Wholesalers of Pigeon Forge, TN. It went on sale April 30th. 2014 and the final paperwork getting rid of my Regency Daytona timeshare was finalized on April 21st. 2016. This was at a cost of $3,000.00 plus some minor fees for transferring titles and paperwork. When I joined I was told there was a monthly fee of $19.99 of which I only paid for one month since the plan went up for sale within a month of my joining. I had been to a previous appointment to sell my timeshare and they were about the same price. Now I have NO TIMESHARE, and I am glad. Since my timeshare was in Florida and they kept getting hit by hurricanes my yearly fee kept doubling. The owners of the timeshares all had to pay for the repairs.

    I wanted to provide some lessons learned for those who are being asked to sell / exchange their…read moretimeshare property. In January of 2014, my wife and I went to a restaurant in San Marcos, CA where representatives from Angwell Travel got us to exchange our timeshare to reduce our maintenance fees, and to gain more points for better vacations. Soon the sales people disappeared and where not reachable by any of the contact information they provided. We filled out paperwork which then involved Timeshare Wholesalers of Pigeon forge in TN. This company was supposed to exchange / sell our property in approximately one year. Everything was supposed to be settled in March of 2015. I was shocked when I still had to pay the maintenance fees for 2016 before I could exchange the property. After all, we signed escrow instructions where everything was supposed to be closed by March 31, 2015. Bottom line, I would never do this again. You know the old motto if it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't true.

    If 5 stars is the highest rating you can give a person, I give Jessica at Edgerton Travel 5 STARS!…read moreMy son wanted to travel to Japan for 21 days. Our first stop was a different travel agency and they were unable to book what he wanted. Not to mention, they made it sound unsafe for him to travel alone. So we went to Edgerton Travel and spoke to Jessica. OMG! She was planning on traveling to Japan the week before my son was. She was quick to put my mind at ease. She booked a non-stop flight from Chicago to Japan and back home and used a tour company with whom my son could contact if the need arose. She made sure he was booked in hotels with good ratings and included train passes for his travel around Japan. My son made some changes to the proposed travel itinerary and she was happy to oblige. When she was all finished, she presented him with a beautiful itinerary which had hotel information, tourist attractions and how to get to each area. She was even kind enough to give me a copy as well. I have to mention the 1st full day my son was in Japan, staying in Tokyo, a level 3 typhoon hit. He was fine, but it worried me. During my son's last few days, he wanted to stay a little longer in one area than was planned. Jessica helped him make the changes to his hotel stays. Upon his flight back, Jessica even sent me a personal message to let me know that his flight was coming in on time. What travel agent does all this? JESSICA AT EDGERTON TRAVEL DOES!!!! Thank you Jessica!

    0 Stars. Avoid renting from Rex Carroll and Vacation Pontoon Rental AT ALL COSTS! My family rented…read morea tritoon boat from them last week. The first red flag was that they charged me the full price of the rental immediately (about a month before my rental dates). This was not a pending charge on my credit card, but a posted charge in the amount of $2150 for weekly rental (ridiculously expensive, by the way). This is not a standard practice in the rental industry (e.g., rental cars), and is highly problematic. Another red flag is that they offer a discount if you pay with check, which thankfully I did not do. More on that later. We picked up the boat Saturday morning from Rex's assistant, Phil, at the lake's public access point. First, Phil stepped in duck poop and tracked it throughout the entire boat and didn't offer to clean it. I ended up cleaning the boat when we drove it to our pier. In the afternoon, we took the boat out on the lake for our first ride. Within 15 minutes, there was a loud double-pop sound from the engine that was so loud, people from the shore heard it. The engine promptly died and would not restart. We called Phil, who attempted to guide us through troubleshooting, but this failed. We had to get towed by bystanders back to our pier. Phil arrived at approx. 5PM, while we were at dinner. Phil asked for help with trying to test the boat, so my dad, brother, and I left our dinner early to go help. Phil concluded that he had no idea what was wrong with the boat and that he would have to take it out of the water and back to their mechanic. Phil didn't bring a tow-boat, so he decided the only option was to tow it out through our yard with his truck/trailer. We helped him by guiding his truck, moving the boat to our beach (my brother was in the water at multiple points, while Phil basically refused to get in the water despite it being his job). Due to the shape of the beach, Phil's truck couldn't completely lower the trailer into the water and so he was unable to tow the boat fully out of the water. Further, now the boat was stuck on his trailer because it wasn't submerged in the water and too heavy to push it off. So now his truck was stuck in the sand on the beach, the boat was stuck on the trailer, and the grass on the lawn was destroyed from Phil's truck. We had to ask our neighbors to come tow the rental boat off Phil's truck and into the water, so we could redock it and leave it until tomorrow when they could bring a boat to tow it away. At this point it was pitch black outside, so driving it to the public ramp was not possible. So not only did we lose an entire day with the boat, but we wasted almost three hours helping Phil, Phil's truck caused significant damage to the lawn, and we had to ask our neighbors to help us after Phil's stupid idea failed. However, I remained positive because Phil ensured me that Rex would refund us. The next morning, Rex called and told me he was coming to tow the boat, but may not have a replacement boat since another renter also needed their one spare boat. I tried to tell him that we had decided we didn't want to proceed with another rental, I just wanted him to come get his broken boat and refund us our money -- but he told me he couldn't talk further at that moment and literally hung up on me. Rex was over an hour late to tow the boat because the other boat he brought ALSO had mechanical issues (he told me this over the phone). When he arrived to tow our boat, I told him we didn't want his other boat. There was no way I was going to deal with more mechanical issues on our 4-day trip and the company had already proved themselves unreliable. Rex was visibly disappointed. He condescendingly said "This kind of things happen when you rent things, like when you rent a car." I told him I have never experienced any major mechanical issues with a rental car. I told him that I wanted to forget this ever happened and wanted our refund, at which point he sailed away and said we would "talk later". Later, Rex texts me saying he was not giving me a full refund because we didn't want the other "nice" boat he brought. Even though he had to bring the other boat anyways to tow the first boat. When I challenged this, Rex and his staff began ignoring my texts/calls. I never heard from Rex again. When I called his assistant, she said that Rex told her we had agreed to them keeping $400 (the entire security deposit plus $100). Rex never discussed that with me, and it is also arbitrary and unlawful. I calculated what we would owe him based on the contract, and it was less than $80. If you subtract the hours we spent helping Phil and the costs to fix the yard, they would owe US money. I had to contest the charges with my credit card (DON'T give these people a check). Thankfully I have recovered all of the money, but these people are corrupt morons. Don't ever rent from them.
