Timeshare Successfully Dumped (by Jerry L.):

I just dumped my worthless timeshare that I've owned since it was "gifted" to me from my parents in 2004. There are too many of these wonky companies out there that promise one thing and don't deliver, or they do deliver and clean your wallet out.

I got an attorney involved. He went through the deed and find a very minor problem in the wording that in the end resulted in a technicality, so after $150 for him to write a letter to the management company, their attorney got involved. We weren't really expecting them to do that, but in the end they let me deed the property back to them. I only had to pay 2 years of maintenance fees. Mine are only around $330 a year which is on the low side. So, after attorney fees and $670 I'm out!

I wanted to post this in an effort to educate folks who are at a dead end on getting rid of theirs. Call a real estate attorney in the state that your property is in. If it worked for me, it can work for others too.
