Re: Is Getting Rid of Timeshares a Problem? (by Don P.):

Finally I get what you are talking about. The thing you have to understand is that the developers run the industry. They prey upon people who are in a euphoric state during a vacation to sell their product. Usually by the time they realize what they purchased may not be best for them the rescission period has expired. Then down the road when they see that the maintenance fees and assessments are going through the ceiling they decide they want out. That's when they find out there is no market for their timeshare or points.

The timeshare industry spends million to lobby for rules that favor them. The owners have no lobby. This forum allows us to communicate and to help each other come up with solutions. I have offered advice that I have personally used and some suggestions others might consider using. I know that my hypothetical solution is extreme but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Like I said in a earlier post if a large corporation uses loopholes and tactics to pick your pocket they receive accolades from their colleagues, If a consumer uses loopholes and tactics to free himself from their web of deceit he gets condemned by them.

Looks like we are on the same page now that I know what you are saying. Let's all work together to help others achieve and exit strategy and hope that the industry wakes up someday and works with us to correct the problem.
