Some thoughts... (by Lance C.):

I went ahead with to working with DFC. As I suspected my timeshare is like the millions of others out there- its not really desirable- I had already figured this out. They are going to take it, but it is going to cost me over $3000, but I hope I am goin to be rid of the d.. thing. I let my wife talk me into getting into this and just didn't think about the end. She passed away in April and I have no desire to spend time at a timeshare. I believe this is a reputable company and I'll let you know if everything goes as planned. Let's all get the word out the people that most of these timeshares are not worth anything. They can rent them for 1/2 of what the maintenance fees are and they don't have to worry about sheduling, etc.

Why are you going to pay them $3000? Isn't that like bait-and-switch? They told you originally that they would do it for $599. Then it was $1000. Now it's up to $3000?!

$3000 is about 3-4 years' maintenance fees. Why not pay those maintenance fees over the 3-4 years instead of everything right now? In the meantime, try giving it away, renting it out, or letting your children use them as an anniversary present?

Charging $3000 to take it off your hands is what the Post Card Companies (companies that, by the way, are not well thought of) do. DFAC just seems to be imitating these PCCs.
