Re: My timeshare is paid in full, but I just don't want it anymore (by Don P.):
Here's the deal . Just asking about it doesn't get the job done . I got rid of two timeshares in 2011 through deed backs . I contacted the two resorts . First I made sure I got to the person who handles the deeds . I informed them that I was going to get the properties out of my name with or without their cooperation . Apparently they believed me and both worked out an exit through a quit claim deed . It was fast and inexpensive . After all paperwork was completed and I had a certified copy of the deeds I sent a gift card to each person that worked on it with me . Ten years later my bank account is very healthy for not having to travel so much .
I still own one timeshare on the Las Vegas strip that I love. I usually go there every November for my week . I have never had any trouble booking my week and they treat owners like royalty there .
My advice is to make it your priority to get out of your contract . Pick up the phone and start making calls . Let them know that it's in their best interest to work with you because you will not be responsible for the next owner if they fail to pay their maintenance fees and assessment .
