Re: Getting rid of your timeshare (by Beverly C L.):

Have been following this topic of trying to "unload" a timeshare and am I reading all the information correctly. THERE IS REALLY NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO GET RID OF YOUR TIMESHARE? I am ashamed to admit but I have been "taken" by a couple of scam companies because first I simply wanted to get rid of a couple of my timeshares, but with the sudden passing of my husband, it is no longer a choice, but necessary to unload these timeshares. Have tried rental as well as selling...and in all cases, just threw my money away, regretfully. I live in Canada and although not having investigated the idea of given to charity, feel certain none here in Eastern Canada where I live would be interested. Also, in Canada we do not have an income tax deductions for contributions such as this to a charity. I am at the stage that I know my purchases were a very expensive decision, having been told by all the slick salespersons that they respective companies would buy back (what a laugh), I must forget about the money now gone. But it is the Maintenance Fees I have to get rid of having to pay. How??? Although I have a perfect credit rating and wanted to go to the grave with same intact, have come to the conclusion that to default with these several companies is the only thing I can do. Don't want to, but have no choice. Do you think I would be still be hounded here in Canada?? Any suggestions for a desperate widow would be much appreciated. Please.....
