I was taken for a scam before, it wasn't so long ago maybe like 6months or so, the usual way, they called me and told me they had a buyer who'd pay $2400 for my week. Of course I didn't know anything about this and payed and needed the money to help pay for my timeshare so I paid them a little bit over $500. Never heard from them again, I called and called with no success. So I've been wanting/trying to sell my timeshare since then with no success and scared or paying someone else so they walk out again with my money. It's gotten to the point that I cannot paying for it anymore but still owe plenty on it....any suggestions? dont' know what to do because is already posted on this site with no bites, I've put so much money into it and the $2K I put for down payment that I hate to loose, but at this point I just really need to sell for the remaining balance. Today I heard of www.timesharedoctor.info and how they can help you recover your money and sell your property the right way. Have any of you heard of them before? I was also considering going with www.timesharesonly.com because I've seen their commercials on TV and they fully finance the new buyer...any suggestions on them?
If the timeshare doctor is legitimate why don't they take a percentage of the money they recover. Pay timesharesonly upfront and then you will pay GMAC a commission when it sells. If you owe more than the timeshare is worth you will never get your downpayment back. That is gone so don't throw more money away with anyone. Talk to the resort and see if they will take it back. They probably won't but it doesn't hurt to ask. If that does not work the only thing you can do is pay for it, stop paying and let it go on your credit. Sometimes it doesn't go on your credit and sometimes it doesn't affect your credit. You can als advertise it as a take over your payments. You will still lose your down payment and you will still be responsible for the payments if the new Buyer does not make them. The rule is never pay anyone upfront to sell your imteshare no matter how many tv ads they run or how good they sound over the phone. The reason they can afford to do the tv ads is from lying to Sellers about the value of their timeshare.
