Paying to get rid of timeshare (by R P.):

If it does not say in your contract that it is in Perpetuity, (forever) or say's this must be handed down to your children, or a relative, then you could as far as I would think, just hand it back to them, and stop paying your maintenance fees.

They might threaten you with court action, but if you stand your ground, they might back off.

Get in touch with your local/national papers, and whoever represents you in the government, companies do not like bad press.

The other way you could do it is by going with a group of like minded owners from the same timeshare who wish to hand theirs back also.

Put together a fund to cover lawyer fees, then he will look at all the issues, miss selling, sky high fees, Perpetuity, etc,etc.

Read through everything you received from them when you bought your week/s, Deed Of Trust, Constitution, etc.

See if they have broken any agreement, written in any of the above, if so you could sue them for " Breach Of Contract "

I live in Scotland, so Courts Of Law in U.S. might be different there from here.

Hopefully you will win.

Any contract you sign is forever or until it's transferred to a new buyer. You can't just give it back to the resort unless the resort will take it back = most won't as they depend on maintenance fees to stay open. The best thing to do is never attend a presentation or update meeting in the first place as timeshare salespeople are very good at what they do .... riding you around in a golf cart and showing all the amenities, luxury, condos and beauty of the resort.
