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

Sometimes you have to be your own advocate. I got rid of two timeshares through deed backs a few years ago. I contacted both resorts and told them in plain simple English that I was going to get rid of the timeshares with or without their assistance. I gave them the option of taking them back and they both agreed. It was in everyone's best interest to do it through deed backs. It was quick and inexpensive.

I was current in my maintenance fees and assessments. I just paid the following years taxes and filing fees and it was completed in just a few weeks. If they had not agreed I would have transferred the titles to another party and then they would be out of luck if the other party defaulted.

Take the bull by the horns and don't be intimidated. An educated timeshare owner has options.
