Finally got rid of my timeshare!

So I heard all the horror stories about people getting robbed with timeshare scams that they will find a buyer, etc... I got a postcard from a company in NY called Financial Defense Group. For a fee of $1250 they finally got rid of my headache once and for all. They didnt "sell it" or "find a buyer". They actually took ownership of it and I no longer own it. I can finally breathe a little easier knowing the timeshare company cant hound me anymore for my fees!

If anyone is looking for a way out once and for good call them at XXX-XXX-XXXX.

Are you 100% sure that the timesahre is out of your name ? Do tyou have proof that they transfered it out of your name ? If not you may find yourself responsible for maintenance fees in anaother couple of months. I hope it did go through for you.

DUH !!!!

I have noticed a few posts on your site with user names that are the same as the poster. Then you call them a SHILL. It seems odd these people would do that. The only common factor is your site. Maybe these posts are posted by you so you can discredit them. Are you just trying to keep your bosses at the timeshare companies happy? The only reason I doubt you so much is I took your word on this site for over a year and you wete wrong, meaning I got to keep making payments when there really was a way out. Just tell the truth...it will set you free.

I do not have the time to play childish games with you.

I had a timeshare at Law Cranberry in Ontario and when you say the time share must be worth nothing you are correct. It now rents out condo's for cheaper then what I have paid. Now trying to get a condo when you want it is a whole new story

We used Berkshire Concepts to get rid of our timeshare in fla they actually did get rid of it....we mailed a copy of our deed they then sent back a quick claim deed, we signed it sent it back with a small fee and were rid of our maint. fee's forever yea ..... we now use their program instead of the timeshare and so far so good

Sounds like another scam to me. They have an " F " rating with the BBB and have been banned from TUG. Anyone that gets involved with them should be prepared to lose their money.

I found a very skillful lawyer who got rid of my timeshare (The Manhattan Club in New York -- a difficult group to work with).

John, I'd appreciate it if you'd pass along the name of the attorney you used to get out of Manhattan Club. Think it's time to move on. Thanks, Charlie chasdowney@verizon.net

Now that you've posted your e-mail address in a public timeshare forum like this openly stating your desire to get out of your timeshare agreement, watch out for a flood of unwanted e-mails from questionable or scam outfits that claim they can "cancel" your timeshare.

There are ethical attorneys who will get you out of your timeshare.

I did it myself using an attorney who understands the industry well, and its many scams.

The fact it, timeshares have been oversold, resulting in tremendous difficulty in getting the time you bought. Even worse, the value of timeshares in many locations has dropped to almost nothing. I would rather stay in a hotel.

If anyone wants to know the name of my attorney, feel free to e-mail me at jockwood@hotmail.com

What was the fraud involved in the attorney getting you out of your timeshare ownership? Unless fraud can be proven then no attorney on earth can get anyone out of a legally binding and signed by you contract.

Sounds like a scammer trolling for victims to me Jayjay

So did he sell it for you or negotiate with the resort to take the deed back?

My lawyer negotiated a sale back. Don't try to do it yourself. I tried and got nowhere. But they respond to attorneys. I'd be happy to share my attorney's name if you want to use her. E-mail me at jockwood@hotmail.com

She asked me not to post her name here as she will be flooded with requests.
