First and most important: never, ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or "cancel" your timeshare. That is always a scam. Secondly, try to find out what your unit is worth on the resale market. It's likely that it is worth close to zero dollars. If that is the case, you can do one of two things. Try asking the resort if it will take your unit back. You might have to present an ultimatum basically stating that if it does not take your unit back, you will just default on the payments and let it go into foreclosure. The other thing to try is to advertise if here on RedWeek in the Bargain Basement section. Advertise that you are willing to give it away to a new owner and maybe even offer to pay closing costs and the next maintenance fee. Whatever you do, do not fall for any of the scams out there that promise to get you out of your timeshare but then do nothing after they take your money.
