Re: Getting rid of a time share. (by John F.):

Jayjay,

You left out one important detail, the value of the Vistana was not an issue in that one. What was is that you always have at least three days to rescind any timeshare contract and the mother has sent a letter that qualified as such within the three day window.

Other than the fact that she exercised her recission rights via that letter, it could have been a Ritz-Carleton unit and the mother would be out of luck.

Any statements of value made were never the issue and good luck proving them. They are very careful in their choice of words. They say certain statements and you "hear" worthless. That's not exactly what is said however.

The main problem with companies like Timeshare Relief is they will tell the prospective client that their timeshare is 'worthless'. This in itself is an outright lie in the vast majority of cases.

I read on another forum where an older lady owned a timeshare at Vistana Resort in Orlando - definitely not worthless, but she was told it was worthless by Timeshare Relief. She signed a contract and paid them approximately $3000 to take it off her hands.

To make a long story short when she found out her Vistana week was not worthless, she and her daughter contacted an attorney. In the end she got most of her $3000 back. She had to pay the attorney $400+, but it was worth it to her.
