My TS will not take it back. Are there any success stories of getting out of one's TS with RedWeek or with the site www.ltrba.com? Other suggestions?

RedWeek is merely a listing site where owners can list their units for sale or rent. You can "[get] out of [your] TS with RedWeek" by listing it for sale (or giveaway) and hope that someone will buy (or take) it from you. If someone does buy it from you, then like many others who have listed on RedWeek, you will have had a success story "getting out of [your] TS with RedWeek".

As for ltrba.com, it's a site with licensed real estate brokers. They are a full-service sale service that appropriately take their commission out of the proceeds of the sale and don't ask for any upfront fees. Keep in mind, however, that their commission is minimum $1000 or 15% (maybe even 20%), whichever is greater. And most units are not worth that much so, as was said in the previous post, you're probably better off trying to sell or give it away yourself.

The other thing you mentioned is that the resort won't take it back. Whom did you contact about that? You should contact the Homeowners' Association and not some desk clerk. Mention that you will be getting rid of your unit one way or another so it would be in the resort's best interests to take your unit back. The HOA might require that you pay closing costs and maybe even the next maintenance fee but it will work out cheaper than using a "cancel your timeshare" law firm.
