Re: WHERE CAN WE GO TO GET FREE LEGAL ADVICE ON DUMPING TIMESHARES? (by R P.):
Your question is quite common among timeshare owners, however failing to pay your maintenance fees can induce foreclosure proceedings if your resort chooses to do so. Foreclosure will definitely affect your credit rating, however at your age you may not care about your credit rating.
You must understand that paying yearly maintenance fees is part of the deal when you signed on the dotted line to buy your timeshare, the same as signing a contract to buy anything such as a house, boat, auto etc., timeshare is no different.
You might try calling the resort to see if they will take your deed back commenting to them your age and life circumstances, however most resorts refuse to take deeds back, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
