May Newsletter Q&A: Second Market Timeshare Owners 'Caught' By RCI (by Steve W.):
I think a timeshare is a valuable asset and you should be freely able to sell it, give it away, do whatever you want to do. The idea that the developer or RCI or anyone else would be able to restrict that is ridiculous.
Call your congressman and see if you can get some legislation stating that you have property rights to a timeshare. If you have none or they are greatly degraded in any way you have been defrauded. Your property is being made worthless by the actions of others and this is a tort. They are stealing from you.
Think valuable asset. Like any other valuable asset. The timeshare business has always been filled with blue suede shoe operators and crooks, but you should not buy anything from anything that can have the value that you paid for depleted by the actions of others. That's just ridiculous.
