I was wanting to know if you know anything about the Wesley financial group based out of Tennessee....If not them could hiring a lawyer get you out of this mess....We owe 11,000 and just started paying.

If you search in the Buying, Selling, and Renting forum, you will see a thread there about Wesley Financial Group. Also, there are a few threads about this company on Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG"; tugbbs.com). If you search for and read those threads, you will see some very unfavorable comments about Wesley.

Hiring a lawyer is not practical. No matter how good and knowledgeable a lawyer is, it does not have mystical powers that can make your timeshare, maintenance fees, or mortgage magically disappear.

This $11,000 that you owe, who is the lender? Is it a third party or is it Westgate directly? Realize that what you own (or are financing right now) is not worth anywhere near $11,000. Paying this off would be a bad financial investment although it might make you feel good and ethical knowing that you honestly paid your obligations. The better financial option would be to cut your losses and stop paying the mortgage (and maintenance fees) and let it go into foreclosure. You will lose what you've sunk into it so far and face a lot of collection calls and letters. They might also threaten to report you to credit agencies and ding your credit history. But it's either that or sink $11000 into a virtually worthless asset.
