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

It's so odd to me that people will spend thousands of dollars on something (a luxury product .... a timeshare at a resort) that they know absolutely nothing about. Even though we didn't research timesharing backwards and forwards and inside and out before buying our first timeshare from the developer (we were bowled over by the resort) and later finding out that timeshare ownership includes rising yearly maintenance fees and possible special assessments, we don't blame the developer or the salesperson. It was OUR fault for not researching beforehand what financial obligations are involved.
It's not like the salesperson kidnapped us and forced us to buy .... WE signed on the bottom line of our own free will, but you seem to think the resort owes some sort of obligation to owners who would just like to give the damn thing back. It's not the resort's fault that many owners were foreclosed on leaving other owners responsible for those deadbeats (which is exactly what the socalled charity you are defending is doing all the while pocketing himself $500).
Let's put the blame where the blame belongs ... to the owners for buying in the first place without performing proper research pertaining to financial obligations, so you'll merely look for any scam in order to (supposedly) rid yourself of your timeshare leaving other owners financially responsible.
It's not the resort's fault that the country fell into recession and the housing market along with the timesharing market imploded BUT we must blame somebody/something else besides ourselves.
