Re: Wyndham's new "Ovation" program offers exit solutions for their owners... interested? (by Lynn W.):
Updating what’s up with our exit. I’m helping my elderly parents get out of their Wyndham Timeshare which has the names of three of their four children on it, including mine. Their timeshare was paid in full long ago and they were up to date on their monthly maintenance which was $360 a month! We went through Timeshare Exit Team and foolishly paid the $5,000 up front (almost two years ago). Then I heard about the Ovation program a little too late. This forum helped me tremendously and I’m so thankful this exists. I stayed on Timeshare Exit team, writing emails, calling and telling the urgency of this b/c of my parents health and we wanted them out of it ASAP. My 87 year old feeble mom has been stressed about getting out of this. I emailed Dave Ramsey’s office to let them know how long it was taking TET and people were already discussing on forums why he would risk his good reputation on promoting TET who are not getting people out of their Timeshare in a timely manner as their commercial claims. I just couldn’t accept that TET was another scam but it sure has felt like it. After many rounds of that, TET called me encouraging me not to waste my mom’s money and give them a chance to get her out of it. I had actually written TET asking for a refund and they refused. That’s when I called Ramsey’s office and I was told they would be contacting TET and apparently they did....asking them what was up. That call got the ball rolling. You would not believe the paperwork TET sent me???!! We had to sign over 120 pages of documents...the sum of all the owners on the Timeshare is why (5 owners). We got it sent off a month ago and they contacted me yesterday to give me a heads up that we have to pay a fee for all this as well? Lesson learned....don’t go through one of these exit companies! You can go through a title company for goodness sakes. :)
