Re: unable to give away timeshare-need lawyer? (by Don P.):

I will stand by my statement even if I misspelled a word. Does anyone think for one minute an HOA is going to pay tens of thousands of dollars to fight an owner giving back one unit when it has a lot more on it's agenda . There are no timeshare owner detectives out there tracking down transfer papers. It's common sense and by the time they realize the time and expense involved it would be in their benefit to take it back and find a new owner and move on.

All you legal jargon and arguments is exactly why our court systems are so back up in this country. This is a simple act of one getting out of something that the industry should assist in helping out with and not fighting it . Once the owners have a way out then the industry will finally come to their senses and start working with owners .

I was wiling to go to any length to get my timeshares out of my name and I apparently conveyed that idea to two HOA's and they both took back the deeds . I convinced them that it was in their best interest to work with me. I gave them a stern warning and I meant it. It's a civil matter and I was going to use any and all resources at my disposal.

I'm for the common man and not the industry but I have to question anyone who argues for the industry about their motivations . I will continue to post my opinion and hopefully help others who are at their wits end dealing with a product that they were lied about and now stuck with .

Let's not forget that this is a civil matter and try not to blow out of proportion and use scare tactics . This is America and I have a perfectly legal right to transfer property to another person and I am under no obligation to guarantee the financial security of the new owner .
