Re: unable to give away timeshare-need lawyer? (by Gerard S.):

Yes, Ken & DonP , I was one of those " Fools who parted with his money" in 2008 by voluntarily purchasing a timeshare (a total of $16,000. spent over time) It wasn't worth it! I've discontinued all payments mortgage & maintenance 3 years ago. Ken, I agree the law is on their side. Well the law needs to be amended. No, I can not get rid of the timeshare by a $1.00 price tag, free or donating it to charity. You'd have to be an idiot to accept it and I would have to be a devious person to unload it on anyone. Yes DonP I put in a post a few years ago and foolishly mentioned one of those companies by name. After which you replied and accused me of being a "shill". No Sir' I am not." Never pay anyone money up front that claims they can get you out of your contract" is your battle cry. I GET IT! You've posted that many times. My only ray of hope to be free of this worthless garbage is that the Attorney General in my state has been conducting a fraud investigation into the resort (same state) for the last 3 years due to numerous complaints. For the last 3 years the resort has been unable to sell or foreclose or take back the timeshares by a court order until the investigation is over. The owner has a team of high-powered lawyers who along with the Attorney General keep post-phoning & delaying the court dates.The owner himself has avoided making any appearances at any of these proceedings and the lawyers on both sides along with the judge have changed over the course of the investigation. Stupid mistake on my part to make this purchase?? YES , I ACKNOWLEDGE IT!
