We, mistakenly, bought a FF timeshare a few years ago. In the past few years, we have only used it once! Everytime we call, everything we want is 'sold out,' or not available. They refuse to even waitlist an area like RCI does. We tried to transfer over our points to RCI and it was like pulling teeth with a mule! Bascially, we have paid for nothing! We have been trying to sell it, even at a loss, but unsuccessful. How does one go about giving back a timeshare to the developer? Does this effect one's credit? It's such a rip off and we plan on complaining to the AG in NM, but we are not hopeful of ever seeing a dime back on this! It seems as if the lawyers for the RCI lawsuit should get involved with FF, too!

It is sad to hear these stories and we hear many! Some of the problem is the people hear these sales people talk and halfway through all they can think about is next years vacation!

If most people new what they probably know now there credit card or check book would never come out!

The resort would not think twice of turning you in and ruining your credit! The simple answer is YES!

This is like buying your car then parking it at the dealer and not making payments!

I have heard some people being honest and explaining they can not afford the unit and about to file Bank R and a resort would let you deed it back to them. They don't do this to help you but if it is a good seller they would make quick profit on the unit!

You could just take a week they offer you and book it with your trading company each year and this way you can have your vacation!

Maybe during this time of trading you can learn the resorts game and start getting your weeks! Sounds to me that you might just be waiting to long to request your weeks you would like each year!

I know at my resort I can request my three choices 23 months before the date, now 24 since we just bought second unit! The resort then waits 30 days before assigning your week and then you are confirmed for your vacation!
