Incidentally, I can provide full documentation. I have facts on my side.

Are you by any chance a lobbyist for the timeshare industry working for Wyndham (RCI) or Marriott (II), seems like it to me.

You claim that you can provide facts --- but you don't actually do so. Color me dubious --- very dubious. No one has ever received money back from any "exit / relief / escape" entity. No one.

I don't know where your amusing but erroneous "lobbyist" conclusion comes from, but I have never had (and do not have now) any affiliation of any kind with the timeshare industry, except as an owner of a few weeks at several different independent (i.e., no "chain" association) resorts. Not that it's any of your business, but I am actually a retired prosecutor who just happens to have owned and used timeshares for over 35 years now. I still own five weeks, two of which I will be using beginning March 02, 2019. All weeks were purchased in the resale market, none directly from any developer. My objective in providing occasional input in these discussion forums is to attempt to educate people with less experience than I have gained over the past three decades and to also (hopefully) help gullible and / or desperate people to avoid falling for a line of BS and unnecessarily and unwisely lining the pockets of any of the many scammers, opportunists and parasites in and surrounding the timeshare industry.

I have certainly seen my share of scammers, fraudsters and deceitful weasels operating in and around the timeshare industry over the years during which I have been a timeshare owner. The parasitic "exit / escape" operation model is actually quite smooth, appealing to people who are desperate to get "out", but who have no idea how to do so. Most of the "exit" outfits actually do absolutely nothing (a few may write a useless "bluster / bluff" letter or two, which resort HOA's just laugh at before discarding such correspondence without any response). More often than not, the"exit" parasites simply wait for (inevitable) foreclosure to occur. At that point they can accurately state to their (sucker) client; "See --- you're out now, isn't that what you wanted?" What's sad about that is the fact that it would have ultimately been exactly the same result if the owner had simply stopped paying and just walked away from the ownership --- without paying a penny to any useless "exit / escape" parasite operation.

As stated previously, people reading these forums are free to believe whomever they choose to believe. As also previously stated, "A fool and his money are soon parted". Both observations are entirely true.
