If it seems to easy, is it?!? (by R P.):

We were thinking of using one of the post card people for disposing of our timeshare. But found a phone number for the resort owners "loss mitigation" department. We just made a call and were told that we could deed back our week of timeshare by sending the signed and notarized warranty deed that they would send us tomorrow along with $89. We need to send back certified and we would therefore be giving them back our timeshare and are no longer responsible. This is with the resort company that owns our timeshare. We bought it outright in 1996 and all MF are current. We told them we no longer use the timeshare and were going to approach one of the post card companies even though they would ask for money.

Does this sound legit? We don't mind sending a check for $89....its worth a try, don't you think?

I do think this resort has an HOA and perhaps they are wanting weeks so they can convert them to points and resell. We have never fallen for their scare tactics that the week would be worth nothing.

There are some resorts that will take deeds back, just depends on the popularity of the resort, management/HOA and time owned.

Sounds legit to me, and you did the right thing by asking the resort before handing over $3000+ fees to a postcard company not knowing if the deed would ever actually be transferred out of your name (some are not, some are).
