I used to work for this company, or rather thier DBA Pacific Transfer. Here are some things you should know. You sign up with Timeshare Relief and pay them a couple thousand. They give your file to another office in their building called Pacific Transfer (they also own this company) and the agents there send you the paperwork (LPOA) which is a power of attorney only for the purpose of transferring your timeshare (Limited). You sign and get notarized. They either record a deed in the county where the resort is located (can be time consuming) or work with the resort to transfer your membership/points. It has to be transferred to someone so they use another company, not owned by them. This is where the sketchy stuff happens. This company is based out of another state but doing business in the same building. They put it on ebay. If it doesnt sell, they put it in someones name who, does in fact exist, but may or may not ever pay the fees. In fact, they change this persons name once the resorts start refusing to transfer because that person now has ten timeshares they are not paying fees on. Timeshare Relief does want to help (of course they want a lot of money for something you could work out with the resort yourself) but they ignore the less than ethical means by which they are helping you and turn a blind eye so they have plausable deniability. Most resorts, if you call them and let them know you are about to sign with these companies, will help you out, just to avoid the potential problems. Always try to work with your resort first. They charge a fraction of the cost. You can also contact the county recorder in that area for assistance with deeds and recordings. Its much cheaper and less time consuming.
