Timeshare Relief Hears Another Story of Timeshare Dissatisfaction

Tracy & Richard met with Timeshare Relief in Ontario, California.  They had purchased their timeshare about ten years ago in 1999.  During that time their maintenance fees had more than doubled, and the timeshare experience was not what they expected.

When they tried to exchange their timeshare, their desired destinations were usually unavailable to them.

And when they had some financial issues, they thought that they could simply drop the timeshare by not paying for it.  They had heard from others that owning a timeshare was like a lease…that  they really didn’t own it.  Also, the timeshare was located in another country.  So, Tracy & Richard tried not paying.  A month later they received a nasty letter about collecting their payment and sending attorneys after them.

The last straw came when Tracy’s cousin was getting married.  They wanted to give her use of an exchanged timeshare in Las Vegas for the honeymoon.  But instead of exchanging their timeshare, Tracy found a timeshare for rent for $250 for a week.  Tracy found that the timeshare rental had been bought for $45,000.  So instead of exchanging their own timeshare for $1000 ($835 in maintenance fees and $165 in exchange fees), they went with the $250 rental.

Tracy and Richard were glad to get rid of their timeshare using Timeshare Relief.

Timeshare Relief Testimonial – Ron & Joyce Did Not Want to Pass On Debt To Their Heirs

Ron & Joyce had seen the Timeshare Relief presentation one time before.  Although they were somewhat taken aback at their first presentation that they would have to pay to get rid of their timeshare, they recognized that over time they would save much more money over the years by not having to pay the annual maintenance fees.

Their maintenance fees had nearly doubled within the last 5 years!  In 2009, they had maintenance fees of over $5000!  Imagine if that happened over the next 5 years again.  Ron & Joyce certainly did not want to have to continue these payments.

Being unable to find another way out of their timeshare, Ron & Joyce had another concern that others have as well.  That is the fact that their timeshare would pass onto their heirs, who would then be responsible for the payments from that point forward.  Ron & Joyce did not want that to happen.  This was just another reason for them to work with Timeshare Relief.

Timeshare Relief Video Testimonial – Donald and Debbie Ogden

Timeshare Relief met with Donald and Debbie Ogden in California.  They had 3 properties that they parted with.  The overall savings that they’ll achieve are the monthly maintenance fees of $109/month, which is $1308 a year.  Donald stated that the fees would continuously increase presumably over the years.

So, they decided to work with Timeshare Relief to get rid of their timeshares, not so much for them, but for their son.  They did not want to burden him with the payments if he were to inherit the timeshares.

Although they remain a little worried because they understand the transaction will take some time to complete, they seemed very happy that they made the decision with Timeshare Relief.

Timeshare Relief Interview with Charlie Part II

In the last video, now a former timeshare owner, Charlie explained how happy he was that he no longer owned his timeshare.

In Part II of our interview, we asked Charlie to explain his arithmetic in how he figured out the solution with Timeshare Relief was the right one for him.

He paid a monthly maintenance fee which totaled $900 a year when added up.  On occasion, his timeshare would charge him a $500 special assessment.  He spent $17,000 on the timeshare upfront.  Had he used the timeshare, each 7 day vacation would have ended up costing somewhere in the neighborhood of $2000-$3000, hardly a bargain.

On camera he does not speak to the fact that over time, had he not worked with Timeshare Relief, he would be charged about a $1000 a year for a timeshare that it seemed he seldom used.  Over just 5 years, that would be $5,000 out of his pocket for nothing.  Over ten years, $10,000 lost.

The final question to Charlie was “How do you feel being done with the timeshare now?”  Charlie’s reponse, “Very good,” with a content laugh.  Timeshare Relief has another very satisfied customer.

Timeshare Relief Mends Hole in Pocketbook of Timeshare Owner

After meeting with Timeshare Relief, timeshare owner, Charlie was very happy to eliminate his annual timeshare maintenance fees that were burning a hole in his pocketbook.

Approximately 4 years ago, Charlie took $17,000 and “invested” in a timeshare that ended up being a money guzzler.  In fact, he compares how much cheaper it would have been if he had just paid $200 a night for a luxury hotel room rather than have a timeshare.

It is no wonder then that after his meeting with Timeshare Relief, Charlie had a big smile on his face.  He had managed to stop the financial losses that were a result of being a timeshare owner.  He had no problem paying to get rid of his timeshare.  He simply added it onto the cost of the timeshare, but saw it as a net gain in the long-term.
