Re: We Collect Timeshares, LLC (by Michael B.):

I "sold" my timeshare to We Collect Timeshares in September 2006. Although they have paid the maintenance fees as promised, I was not able to deduct the loss on my income taxes as they said I could. The income tax deduction was what made it worthwhile to me. (I do not see other comments about this aspect of their sales pitch in this thread.) Otherwise, I would have given it away or sold it cheap, even though it may have taken some time. We gave away more weeks to family than we personally used, and that was better than paying money to these people. I have tried calling the number on my paperwork and on their website, but neither is accurate. I have now e-mailed the company this morning. The tax "advice" is not part of the signed paperwork, but it was a significant part of the sales pitch. I suspect they are no more licensed tax advisers than they are real estate agents (see Cease and Desist order above). I hope this helps others to avoid the trap we fell into.
