    Can you tell me anything about RTX Voyager. I think they are more like a pyramid scheme where you give family and friends invites and then you receive points for their vacations.

    The company is poorly operated and someone advised contacting the Attorney General. Not sure which one to contact, the state where it was purchased, the state I live in or the federal level?

    We were scammed into buying Vidanta Mayan Palace in MX over a year ago when they lied to us about literally everything. Now it seems MTS Mexican Timeshare Solutions may be scamming us to pay them 1700 for getting rid of it when I’ve already stopped paying and told Vidante we are letting go of our membership entirely. Do we really need MTS and are they just another scammer?

    Couple things to add is that Redweek does have skin the game in that they do try and rent or sell timeshare. However, you can go to e-bay look at Timeshares for sale and filter less than a 2 bucks and see plenty. Sorry to say the value of timeshare are no longer what they were in the past simply because of the internet. Just like Redweek and many others trying to sell or rent. What I have found are that most timeshare owners whom have looked to rent to sell have ended up spending hundreds and if not thousands trying without success plus time and frustration. This is more the case than not. Now as Jeff indicated if you have a very desirable location and week. Then you might and say might have a chance. Also, its very rare to see or know of anyone that does not have a perpetuity agreement in there Deed. This does go on forever and since you have a deed if something happens to the owners then it gets attached to the estate and someone has to take it. Usually the person handling the estate. Either way just understand your options as I received a timeshare that 5 years ago from my grandparents death and I had to take it in the estate. There was no other option in court due to the perpetuity. Then I listed it for sale and not even a chance of it selling. Then hired a Timeshare Cancellation company and yes, it cost me about 3K, but in 6 months poof gone! For the time, headache and money I had already spent in Maint. Fee's this was well worth it and a set amount! Worked great! Just think you have to have to look them up and make sure good BBB ratings on them.

    Cali C.: Just to clarify, RedWeek is not affiliated and does not work for any timeshare resorts. We are a marketplace to buy, sell or rent a timeshare. Many people use our website to rent a timeshare from an owner so they can experience all the amenities of a timeshare resort without the commitment of timeshare ownership.

    Lol .this article is so funny!!my 74 year old mother was scammed over and over trying to sell her timeshare.Resorts do not buy back timeshares except maybe Marriot.Timeshares are worthless pieces of air that drain hard working people of money but I do disagree with this article after losing thousands of dollars trying to sell the timeshare we did find a exit company we paid a little over 3,000 and after all the scams we were finally done with this nightmare!!!and by the way remember redweek works with the resorts not the person who forks over thousands in useless fees and taxes!!!!

    I recently spoke with a company purporting to help folks escape their onerous timeshare obligations and was quoted an upfront fee of $8,750, which I cannot afford. The only guarantee they would make was to secure a “give back” and “attempt” at recovering some of the monies originally paid for the timeshare (in our case $34,000). If unsuccessful after 36 months at securing the termination by “give back,” our $8,750 would be refunded (if they are still in business!). I am wondering if this is typical practice by all these so called timeshare exit companies?

    So glad I found and read this site. Thank you for saving me from paying $$$ to Exit Legally to get a refund for the cost and maintenance fees of my Wyndham timeshare. I almost fell for this scam.

    My options are completely open in regards to where to vacation. I would like to see what is available for particular dates. Is there any way to search by date?

    I am not sure what to do next regarding my Manhattan Club membership. I have been an owner over 20 yrs. When my husband died in 2012 I simply could not reserve a room and I gave up, plus have not paid my fees. I got threatening letters from them which I ignored. I own a studio every other year. I am now 3 fees in the rears. I have health issues and would like to get out without costing me anything, help. JoanM

    Responding to clarec11: Many have tried to get out of Pueblo Bonito. It is likely a Right-to-use or membership rather than deeded property. It can usually be done by simply stopping payments since you do not own anything. The resort might start hounding you with collection calls and letters but those can usually be ignored.

    The other option is to list your unit for sale or giveaway here on RedWeek or other legitimate timeshare resale web sites. Just be realistic in what your asking price is. Most units in Mexico have a zero resale value.

    Responding to eva51: To the best of our knowledge, according to lawyers who handle exit issues, heirs are in no way obligated to assume responsibility for their parents' timeshare contracts. That's always an individual choice. Best to check with your timeshare company, or resort HOA, on this issue. Also check with your accountant or personal attorney.
