Re: Getting rid of your timeshare (by Don P.):

I wish all owners would spend a small amount of money and join the National Timeshare Owners Association. Their website is nationaltimeshareownersassoc.com. The president is Ed Hastry. He can be contacted at hastry@aol.com. It's a non profit organization of time share owners for the benefit of timeshare owners. With your membership you also get a subscription to Time Sharing Today. They share information about all aspects of timeshare ownership. This is where I got the information I needed to get rid of two timeshares this year. It's the second week of December and I didn't receive any notices to pay my yearly maintenace fees for next year. I can't tell you how good that feels. I never have to deal with RCI or any other exchange companies. If I want to use a timeshare I can go to this site or others and rent one someone else can't get rid of. The membership was the best investment I ever made. I will remain a member forever. I still own one timeshare in Las Vegas that I will never part with. I will be attending the NTOA meeting in The Villages in Florida in February and look foward to seeing Ed Hastry again. The meetings are filled with so much information it's hard to fit it all in one meeting. Don't give into the scammers. Do your homework and find a safe way to rid yourselves of the burden of rising maintenance fees and special assessments.
