How do think a resort operates? Maintenance fees are fully disclosed at time of purchase and yes, these fees go up as expenses increase. I am sure in your world, goods and services have not gone up in 20 years. How ignorant!donp196 wrote:We were in the same postion trying to donate our timeshare with no success. We belong to the NTOA ( National Timeshare Owners Association ) and I read an article about getting rid of your timeshare. They suggested just calling the timeshare and see if they would take it back, We called and the two timeshares took them back with just a quit claim deed and a very minimal fee. We are now free.That seems too easy.......Why would they want to just "take it back"? they have you on the hook for $600+ a year in fees, why would they not want to keep that going? I love the idea, but it just seems too easy. With all the thousands of people trying to get out of their timeshares, and making one call would get them off the hook, one would think if that worked these boards would be empty.
