Timeshare Cancellation: How Did I Get Myself Into This Mess

Now what! Look what I've done and what a TimeShare Scam it is.

Before we talk about doing a timeshare cancellation, let’s start at the end and work our way forwards. You’ve done something that you don’t know how to get out of.

You’ve purchase a timeshare! Ho boy, now you need to figure out how to do a timeshare cancellation. You wonder how you got yourself into this mess, but more importantly you keep telling yourself, I need to learn how to cancel my timeshare.

You thought you were smarter than this. How did it happen? At this point, you also begin to wonder if you’re involved in one of these timeshare scams you have heard about.

No, Is Never A Good Answer, At A Timeshare Presentation

Fact is, when anyone goes to a timeshare presentation, they putting themselves into the ring with well-trained, hard-core salespeople who are paid very well not to take “NO” for an answer.

Okay now let’s go back to the beginning shall we?

It all started off when you and your family were thinking about taking a wonderful vacation. You planned it out for months excited by the details and finally the day has arrived when you’re finally on your way.

It’s been a lot of hard work, you’ve and your family have had to scrap and save, pinched pennies whenever possible, gone without when you could, in an effort that you and your loved ones could have the most exciting of vacation. You’ve done your best. You’re tired. You could really use a vacation.

It’s a proven fact, that the tired people are always more venerable. How many people do you know that start their vacation well rested? Not many, huh?

You are unaware that when you arrive at your great vacation destination that there are people there that prey on vacationers just like you, and they are on the lookout for someone just like you. You and your family have vacationers written all over you.

You look tired and maybe a little lost trying to get to your hotel; or maybe you’ve already gotten to your hotel, unpacked and you and the family have decided to go have a look around just to check things out.

Welcome, How About A Free Gift - What a Timeshare Scam

As your passing by an information booth, someone calls you over. They are very friendly and want to welcome you to the vacation destination and perhaps give you a map of all the attractions. Their booth also has brochures of exciting places you may want to visit. Seems harmless right?

While you are standing at the booth looking over things and places you and your family would like to go, the nice person in the booth strikes up a casual conversation.

They start asking you where you’re from, how long are you going to be in town, and who doesn’t ask what do you do for a living? You get the picture. Unbeknownst to you, you are being asked timeshare qualifying questions that the nice person in the booth has been very well trained to ask.

They are separating the non-prospects from the prospects. Then - BINGO - you’ve answered the questions correctly. You’re just what they are looking for. The gleam in their eyes that was there when you walked over, just got a little brighter.

It’s Free Now – But A Big Price Later - Turns into a Timeshare Scam

Now they have something “FREE” to give you. Could be attraction tickets, free dinners, or so on. And they are absolutely “free” all you have to do is attend a little 90 minute presentation (Promise! No more than 90 minutes) and hear about how you and your family can have a wonderful vacation every year at beautiful resort locations around the world for just pennies on the dollar.

And so you take the bait. After all it’s just 90 minutes and what could it really hurt. Besides you get something “free” out of the deal.

You know there is going be a sales pitch involved but you’re not going to buy anything. Besides you really can’t afford it. But that stuff they are giving away ‘free’ looks really tempting. So you agree.

90 Minutes Turns Into 4 Hours

That 90 minute presentation ended up turning into 4 hours of intense sales pitches. Every time you gave a reason why you couldn’t buy, the salesperson had a counter reason why you could. And they could and would make it possible for you to buy.

Even to the point of opening you up a line of credit on a brand new credit card so that you didn’t have to come up with any out of pocket money, you can charge your down payment.

And by the end of it all, you and your family walk away with a signed timeshare contract in hand. And for many people who own a timeshare, that’s where the nightmare begins.

Months pass and you now begin to realize that many things they told you are in fact not true. Some were even straight out lies, so now, you find yourself asking what many call the timeshare nightmare. It’s at this point that you begin to ask yourself over and over again, how you got yourself into this mess.

Timeshare Scams - Con Artists Running Wild

The timeshare market is over flooded with units for sale. Many people who are struggling to make ends meet are desperate to sell their timeshare. Selling a timeshare vacation property has always been a very big challenge. But these days, it is all but impossible. 

Many State Attorney General are now saying; selling a timeshare vacation property it's a major problem that's affecting consumers across the U.S. "

The attorney general office of Florida has had almost 10,000 complaints just this year. All the State Attorney General are saying they get lots of complaints about timeshares sales and timeshare re-selling. It's a big, big issue today.

Millions Of Dollars Going To Con Artists

Timeshare scams and con artists are cashing in on that desperation. Fraudulent telemarketers across the country are taking in millions of dollars by making many promises they can't keep. 

These timeshare scams are smooth, they have scripts. They do this thousands and thousands of times a week. They know what they're doing, but the key is not to fall for their scams.

Appraisal For A Timeshare

There is not enough data compiled to produce a bona fide appraisal. If you need an appraisal for a divorce or the IRS, you should make sure you are using a licensed appraiser who is risking his license to give you that appraisal.

The only time you should pay a fee for an appraisal for a timeshare is NEVER. At this time it is almost impossible to appraise a timeshare that is sold on the resale market.

Timeshare Scammers Call You

"One of the big warning signs of timeshare resell is they'll “call you”, not the other way around. They'll call and ask you out of the blue, 'Can we help you sell your timeshare? They’ll say they have buyers just waiting for weeks like yours.

They’ll say they work and deal with real estate brokers that will also help in selling your timeshare weeks. They’ll say a great many things, with a great deal of high pressure on you to commit to what they are selling right then and there, but what they’re actually offering is overpriced advertising that, due to the over-inflated sales price they used to lure you in, has very little chance of selling your timeshare.

They Tell You Anything

There are many stories that go with this timeshare scams. They’ll tell you they have open houses at the resorts. They’ll tell you they have sold your type of unit for large dollar amounts. The only thing that winds up being sold is a bill of goods, and that was to you.

The telemarketer that “calls you” to sell you this advertising scam is most likely sitting in a big call center, surrounded by other people doing the exact same thing, probably on a sells quota/bonus system.

Timeshare - the purchase should come with a warning label. Beware buyer!

Timeshare Scams . . . Timeshare Sales Should Come With A WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!

The warning should read something like this:

WARNING! - Timeshare Scams

Before The Timesharing Resort Is Done With You,

This Is Going To Cost You And Your Family A Lot Of Money!

We sometimes wonder if anyone before they signed on the preverbal dotted line, ever STOP to think for a moment and add up the cost of what this nice timeshare person is talking them into buying - When they were being brainwashed into buying the timeshare vacation.

What it was going to cost them before their life was at its end. Because that’s when the maintenance fees stop for you. AT DEATH!

But That Cost Just Stops For You…

It is not the end of the maintenance fees for your children and or loved ones. Upon your death your children get the shaft (I mean baton) pasted on to them.

Now they are responsible for the timeshare maintenance fees. Whether they want that nice bill or not, they are stuck with it. They don’t have a choice. And the children are scrambling to figure out what to do with the timeshare and how to get that bill off their backs.

What beside the National Debt, would be pass on like that to the innocent next generation? Who would really want to do that to their children? Especially in this economy and there are not any predictions that I know of that say it is going to get in better.

Times Are Ever Changing

The security of job and income, the idea of being with a company and someday retiring from that company, in times gone by, is something we could bank on for our future.

That way of ideal thinking no longer exists. Those were the Leave-It-To-Beaver days. Job security is not something that can be counted on any longer. And the gold watch of retirement is now quickly becoming a pink slip.

That is one reasons so many elderly people are begging for help to do a timeshare cancellation.

They never thought when they purchased that timeshare years ago, that the burden of maintaining that debt would go on and on and on!

Couples never thought that as they aged, their children would have their own way of thinking and their own way of wanting to take a vacation. What started out as a good thing, slowly is becoming a nightmare.

Elderly people are now starting to realize what they have truly gotten themselves into when they signed that timeshare contract years ago.

The Debt Never Stops

In this day and age, what beside timeshare can you buy and the debt never stops? Your timeshare is never really paid for and that continual cost is in the form of maintenance fees and as you age the resorts ages right along with you, there are more and greater amounts in assessment charges.

The resort you bought into will also have to be maintained and your hard earned money is what will be doing it.

You certainly don’t think the resorts owners are going to do that do you? No. The upkeep for the resort is on your back and the backs of your fellow vacation owners. The resort owner(s) made sure that WAS in the contract you signed.

And because so many people believed the lie that owning timeshare was like owning real estate (because that is one of the lies that sold them in the first place) they believe that they are passing along something of value to their children.

And if your children don’t want the timeshare after you are gone, they can sell it and make a nice profit. WRONG! This is one of the big lies told by most timeshare sell people. It’s one big reason so many people call buying timeshare the big timeshare scam.

No Resell Value

There is absolutely no and I mean NO, value in owning a timeshare. If you don’t believe me, just to one of the websites like EBay and look at the listings for all the people who are trying to resell their timeshare.

The people who still believe that they have something of value (because it was preached so strongly at the sales presentation) are still trying to sell it for different amounts of money.

But those who have finally realized that their timeshare is worthless-- well they are practically begging for someone to just take the darn thing off of their hands.

Since it is considered a legal transaction some minimal amount must change hands, they are charging a few dollars for something they purchased for thousands of dollars and even then, they can’t get rid of it.

No One Wants Your Debt

It’s like trying to sell your debt to someone else. Believe me no one wants your debt. If you don’t want it—why should they.

The best thing to do is to stay away from getting talked in to going to a timeshare presentation in the first place.

The free tickets, boat ride, and anything else the off-site people are throwing at you, please remember when and if you do go to the presentation you are going up against hard-core sells people who are highly trained in getting you to agree to buying a timeshare.

They will do and say almost anything they can get away with to getting you to sign a contract before you get out of there.

I doubt seriously that before you and your family go on vacation, you all gather around the kitchen table and have hours of training sessions about how to say NO during a timeshare sales pitch, if you did happen to end up in a timeshare presentation.

The Exchange Anywhere, Timeshare Scam

Creates Timeshare Cancellation

Today, let’s talk about, how timeshare scams are creating a lot of timeshare cancellation. Each week, many people call us and ask how to write a timeshare cancellation letter, because they got into some kind of timeshare scam.

Let’s start with saying, to get the most benefit from timeshare ownership, an owner must learn the rules for successful timeshare exchanging. Unfortunately, many timeshare owners learn the rules only after they try and make an exchange and this leads to a lot of unsuccessful exchange attempts and after that many timeshare owners have soured on timesharing and this creates a lot of people who want to get a timeshare cancellation.

Of course, what the timeshare sales people tell the buyers is, one of the most attractive features of timesharing is the capacity to exchange a timeshare week for a week at a different timeshare at different times and locations throughout the world.

What the timeshare sales people don’t tell the buyers is that many timeshare owners can’t get the timeshare exchange they want. This usually happens when the timeshare owner either doesn’t understand how the exchange system works, because the timeshare sales people didn’t tell the buyers really how the timeshare exchanging system works.

In the end, when the timeshare owner is unsuccessful in making an exchange, they become very disillusioned and most often, upset about buying timesharing and this is where the words timeshare scams start to get used. That is one of the reasons that so many people ask us how to write a timeshare cancellation letter.

Ways To Exchange Your Timeshare Scam

Some of the ways to make a timeshare exchange are: Direct exchanges with other timeshare owners; this means exchanges within a resort owners group that provides the timeshare exchanges as part of the timeshare membership; and then there is the exchanges completed through companies that arrange exchanges.

Owner To Owner - Direct Timeshare Exchanges

Direct exchanges occur when two timeshare owners agree to trade the usage of their week(s) with each other. This almost never works out good and again, this is where we start to hear the words timeshare scam.

The real disadvantage of direct timeshare exchanging is the difficulty in finding and contacting other owners to make these kind of exchanges.

A second approach timeshare owners use is to exchange is to contact the resorts into which they would like to exchange to and find out if there is a way to contact owners about making a direct exchange however be warned this again, almost never works like many timeshare sales people say it does. After a few times of this not working many timeshare owners start to think about how to cancel my timeshare.

Exchanges - Timeshare Clubs

Today, any timeshare companies own multiple resorts in different locations. Often, these programs have been structured specifically to make it easier for timeshare owners to exchange timeshare week(s) at different resorts.  

In many vacation timeshare clubs this is the only way you can obtain a week(s) to use. In some cases, these exchanges are free; in other cases the resort charge an exchange fee, which by the way, are going up and up in price.

We hear so often from timeshare owners that, “the timeshare sales people who sold us the timeshare told us that the fees would not go up so now, we want to cancel timeshare”.

The Timeshare Sizes

When talking about timeshare exchanges of course, some timeshare weeks at some resorts will for sure, be a higher demand than other weeks. Also, the timeshare unit sizes and amenities will vary and again, be a higher demand than others.

For the exchange program to be successful, the owner of a high value timeshare week, will expect to have that value recognized in some way in the timeshare exchange program.  

We have talked about timeshare points before in this blog but I want to say here, that exchange programs that do not use points often limit the ability of owners of less desirable units to trade up by limiting exchanges to units of like value.  

Because the details of timeshare exchange will vary greatly among resort groups, you should always contact the resort to find out the full details about that exchange program.  

One thing to remember is that, if the exchange program operates using points, you will know exactly how many points you are entitled to receive based on your ownership, and also always, find out how many points are needed to complete certain types of timeshare exchanges.

If you own a timeshare and would like know how to cancel timeshare, to learn more about a timeshare cancellation see our frequently asked questions or give us a call.
