Re: WALK AWAY FROM TIMESHARE (by NoOneYouKnow):

Sure, if people walk away from their fees, fees might go up for those who still use their timeshare.

That's as good a reason as any for those who want to keep their timeshares to lobby their Boards to get their heads out of (wherever) and face the real world.

I posted it on another thread, somewhere, but even RCI finally admits timeshares sold "into perpetuity" was a mistake, and resorts need to deal with it.

Some of us former LOTs (Lovers of Timeshare) who have been taking flak from current LOTs because we have been encouraging the industry to correct the "No Exit Strategy" mistake are gratified to see that some headway is being made.

Some LOTs are so into themselves and their timeshares, that you don't even dare talk about this issue on their little private forums. So, like I said, it's gratifying to see the industry waking up a bit.

We have switched from vacations to staycations, so I started trying to get rid of ours in 2008, and have only managed to give away two weeks. Still have four. One of our resorts has led us on about taking ours back, for free, but they have stopped answering emails. We've been paying fees there since 1992, so it's not like we are irresponsible deadbeats shirking our responsibilities.
