Re: Not paying maintenance

[b]DO NOT PAY ONE CENT [/b]to [b]ANY[/b] parasitic, deceitful so-called "Exit Company". All they will do (if they do anything at all) will be to string you along until the resort forecloses anyhow. Those parasites will then just say "You're out now, just like we promised you, so what's your beef?" You obviously don't need to PAY good money to some thieving bunch of parasites only to ultimately experience foreclosure anyhow. The truth of the matter is that NO ONE can magically extract you from the legal obligations associated with a valid and lawful contract into which you once entered of your own free will. Period, Amen. By acquiring a timeshare, whether purchased in the resale market or from a developer (or even if obtained for free from someone else), by agreeing to assume ownership you essentially agree to accept all of the associated legal obligations of ownership. Have you contacted the resort directly to see if you can negotiate a "deedback"? You won't know unless you ask. Have you attempted to just give the timeshare away for free (by offering it as a "Bargain Deal" on the Timeshare Users Group web site or here on RedWeek)? If you have no success with the above (no cost) efforts, you can choose to just stop paying the maintenance fees and let the resort ultimately foreclose, but please don't flush your hard earned money down the toilet by paying a single penny to [b]ANY[/b] (so-called) "exit company". That singularly unwise decision would just be a complete waste of money. There is an old saying that "A fool and his money are soon parted". Don't become someone who proves that saying to be true, putting money into the pockets of any thieving so-called "exit company", as they laugh all the way to the bank.
