Re: Remembering why you bought your timeshare! (by Charles S.):

I have written several posts on this site stating just your point, Phill12. There are many on this site that accept no responsibility for their purchase and blame everyone under the sun for their purchase. Some have no real excuse because they have never even used their timeshare not even knowing how to use it. They blame the salesman, but don't take advantage of of the rescission period. Exit strategies should have been discussed with the salesmen before signing or during the review of the contract. When you buy a car, a home, or anything else you need to ask key questions prior to signing or during the rescission period.

Perhaps more disturbing to me is the continuous flow of misinformation that permeates the threads that are created here. I have seen so many ridiculous accusations that it makes my skin crawl. I read that people are forced to buy their timeshares, that they are forced to turn their deeded weeks to points or their weeks were turned to points without their signing or knowledge. These folks have neglected to do one thing from the very beginning. They have neglected to read their contracts and that's their fault. It's not the salesman's fault they did not read it. It's not the developer's fault they did not read it. It's not the bank's fault they did not read it. The responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders of the buyer. We have a hard time in our country accepting responsibility for our actions, example the bailout of all of the people who bought homes that could never afford the homes in first place. It's a sad commentary on our society right now.
