Re: How to get rid of a timeshare you no longer want .... (by Cheryl D.):
I was a timeshare owner for many years and spent a few years looking into all sorts of ways to get rid of my timeshare. We owned in Minnesota and a very large percentage of the owners were trying to sell and it was totally impossible to sell them. When I finally came across "Community Health Training, Inc." and spoke personally with them, it was a huge weight lifted from my shoulders. I recently received an email from red week.com and that is the only reason I am looking at this conversation. I donated my timeshare and wrote a couple of messages on these boards two years ago, but I have moved on and have not looked at them until today. I will try to relieve other timeshare owners of their pain and frustration by posting this one more time; now that I am FREE of my timeshare I've got better things to do then read these postings. If there is anyway you can reach me outside of this forum, I would be glad to talk to you because I have seen some really ridiculous people on these boards before and I have no doubt someone will call out "schill" about my posting. I handled the transferring of my title to them myself (saved myself a lot of money) and paid CHT $500.00 to take my timeshare off my hands. And they did. The deed is in their name and I have not heard from my owner's association or anyone else in two years. I am free and clear of my timeshare and it is such a huge relief to be done with that mess. That is the only reason I am writing this post. Because I am a Canadian I could not take advantage of the donation receipt at all, but that didn't matter to me. The main thing was I was FREE of the timeshare. CHT is totally legitimate and has been set up to provide monies to an important charity BUT to also specifically help people unload their timeshares.
