[Q=rosemarieg20]We really want to sell it or donate it or something but need legal help negotiating this since DR is not at all helpful. We bought in 2011 and have had nothing but problems and always winding up settling to use the points somewhere we don't want. They greatly misrepresented the ease of use and the variety of locations and the value of the entire product.[/Q] Those sales people always tend to embellish, exaggerate, or flat-out lie about the product they are selling. Now to address your predicament. The first rule of thumb is to never, ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or "cancel" your timeshare because that is always a scam. There are some companies out there that claim they specialize in getting owners' contracts cancelled but they will charge you thousands of dollars and even then, won't do what you paid them to do. Secondly, watch out for companies and charities that say they accept "donations". If they do, they will charge you thousands of dollars to do so. No bona fide charity is accepting timeshares as donations. If you are dead serious about getting rid of your unit, first of all, make sure that the mortgage is paid off and that all your maintenance fees (and special assessments if there are any) are all up-to-date. No one is going to want to take on a unit with these owing on them. Then advertise on reputable web sites such as here on RedWeek, E-Bay, Craigslist, Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG"), or My Resort Network. Mention that you simply want to give your unit away and perhaps even offer as an incentive to the new taker that you will pay the transfer costs (about $200) plus the next maintenance fee. And again, this can't be overemphasized, do not pay any company, law firm, charity, etc. a large fee to "cancel" your timeshare.
