Re: Re: Trying to get rid of a timeshare already paid in full.

[Q=laurab1171] We want to get rid of ours too. It’s paid off and the fees are crazy !!! We have ours in Las Vegas. I’m willing to give it away just take it over and pay the yearly fees. We don’t care to make money of it[/Q] Well, you have a few options. You can ask the resort's Homeowners' Association if it will take your unit back. Sometimes the HOA will do so if you pay the closing costs and possibly the next maintenance fee. You can list it for sale or giveaway here on RedWeek. Other reputable sites for selling or giving away timeshares are E-Bay and Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG"; tugbbs.com). It has a Free Timeshares section where you can list for free that you want to give your unit away. If all that fails, you can just stop paying your maintenance fees and let it go into foreclosure. The downsides of that is that you will probably face a bunch of harassing collection calls and letters and possibly a hit to your credit score or rating. The last piece of advice (and most important) is to not go seeking the "help" of these exit companies that claim they can get you out of your contract. Many are scams.
