There's a company called TimeShare Relief that will, for a fee, take it off your hands for you once and for all. Most of the TS industry hates this company because they offer people a way out where there isn't usually one. Going to TSR is infinitely better than paying fees indefinitely while hoping for some miraculous way out of the trap.
Hey uh "Sigmund",
How would you know so much about the Timeshare Relief company???? Are you a satisfied customer? Or more likely an owner of the TSR company or a slick salesman from this outfit? We have run enough of them off the Timeshare Users Group bulletin boards and forums. Far more potential customers were lost than lured.
If you are an owner or employee of TSR and think you can come here and con people, you are sadly mistaken. A ruse like this is sure to back-fire because there are too many really experienced timeshare owners here who can see through deception and inform readers about the truth.
Glad you brought up the topic, though. It gives us an opportunity to warn newbies of the realities of dealing with companies such as TSR, and offer them better options.
And why would you expect anyone to believe your ridiculous statement that: " Most of the TS industry hates this company because they offer people a way out where there isn't usually one." Developers would be glad to see an unhappy owner "just go away" and not constantly gripe to family, co-workers, and friends about the agony of owning a timeshare week they hate and can't get rid of. And the resort where the unit is owned is just interested in seeing the maintenance fees paid. They could really care less how or why the owner disposed of the unwanted unit.
