Timeshare Relief is proud to announce that it is recognized as one of the top businesses in the US and ranked No. 318 on the The Inc. 500 List that was released today. Considering that over 80% of all small businesses simply fail within five years, to be rated as one of an entrepreneurial superstar among all businesses in the United States is a testament to the mission of the company — to help timeshare owners get out of unwanted timeshare contracts.
Through strong customer relationships and proper execution of the transfers, Timeshare Relief has quickly grown into this leadership position. Everyone at the company appreciates the trust and personal connection with all of our clients over these 5 amazing years of business. We understand that satisfying our customers with our service while providing respect, friendliness and care creates the goodwill of good business.
We thank and congratulate all of our dedicated employees and staff who have worked so hard for our customers, and done it with panache. The positive energy and dynamic atmosphere at the offices in Torrance, California is truly amazing. Only with great people can an organization be great. So, with the Inc 500 ranking, it’s nice to publicly recognize the contributions of everyone here at Timeshare Relief.
For a second year in a row, Timeshare Relief received the Best of Torrance Award sponsored by the US Commerce Association (USCA) and recognizes exceptional local businesses in the US. Every year the USCA identifies businesses that enhance the positive image of small business through their dedication to customer service and community support.
The Best of Torrance Award in 2010 was again a pleasant surprise especially since only a scant 1.4% (1 in 70) of small businesses nationwide qualify as repeat Awardees. It’s proof-positive that not only does company provide a great service, it does so with the customer in mind.
“We are honored to be chosen for the Best of Torrance Award,” said David MacMillan, Founder and President of Timeshare Relief. “We put together a small team dedicated to helping people. Today our business model has allowed us to grow and help tens of thousands of dissatisfied timeshare owners get out of timeshares.
The government in Alberta, Canada, is tightening down on the timeshare industry in order to provide more protection prospective timeshare owners.
As of November 1, those involved in timeshare sales will be required to obtain a $200 license issued by the government and clearly disclose their terms and conditions. They will also be required to post security. The parameters of the security have not been fully determined yet.
The current timeshare regulations are over 10 years old and the timeshare industry has endured many changes. The new regulations are up-to-date with the timeshare industry’s current practices and will ensure that consumers are well-informed of all the details before purchasing a timeshare.
“The past recession had a significant downward impact on both developers and buyers of vacation property, condo-hotels and timeshares, and I believe the government is trying to provide greater protection for the consumer,” says Chris Wein, president of Multifamily Operations at Calgary-based UBG.
He goes on to say that the government is simply updating its regulations to match the rest of the jurisdictions in North America.
In addition to the new license and security provisions, other stipulations include:
Requiring timeshare developers and sellers to fully disclose their terms and conditions, including a full description of the timeshare property, the time period the owner can use the property, the number of points provided under any applicable points programs and the total cost to the buyer including all fees.
Allowing buyers to cancel their contract within a year if the timeshare does not meet the new requirements.
Ensuring the timeshare owner has use of the property even if it is refinanced by the developer.
Preventing the timeshare businesses from misleading sales tactics, including misrepresenting the availability of prizes, gifts, discounts, etc.
Maryanne Younger enjoyed meeting with our team from Timeshare Relief. Not only did she give the company a 10 out of 10 for her overall satisfaction level, she remembered how kind and generous the people from Timeshare Relief were. If you hear from a majority of our clients, you’ll hear the same thing.
It’s the passion of the company from the co-founders through entry level representatives. It’s not just a job for us. We want to go the extra mile for people because we know of the issues timeshare owners are going through and want to help. It’s a higher purpose and a passion.
Interviewer: All right, for the record, if it’s okay, what is your name?
Maryanne Younger: My name is Maryanne Younger.
Interviewer: Are you satisfied with the service that Timeshare Relief has provided?
Maryanne Younger: Yes, absolutely.
Interviewer: Are you still paying for your timeshare?
Maryanne Younger: No, I am not.
Interviewer: Did you enjoy receiving the notification of final transfer?
Maryanne Younger: Well, we had several different kinds of ways of getting out of it. Not a timeshare relief, but just trying to sell it and having different companies calling us constantly to – trying to go with them, and, you know, having to pay, you know, upfront and things of that nature, where they were just not being upright as far as that kind of thing is concerned because they just wanted to advertise a period and use our money for their purposes more than my purposes. So, we were not satisfied, ever, until we met you.
Interviewer: On a scale of 1-10, what is your overall satisfaction level with our service?
Maryanne Younger: I would say a 10.
Interviewer: Is there anything else you would like to share about your experience with Timeshare Relief?
Maryanne Younger: Well, I thought it was a very interesting way of being introduced to you. We got something in the mail inviting us to a meeting, and you showed your overall company on the video and — it’s been a while – I’m trying to remember all the little things. All of your people were just so kind and generous and willing to listen. And working with us was a little bit of a chore because we were trying to do this I think on a day that the banks were closed, or some kind of, you know, interesting thing, and they were patient enough to wait so that we could be approved because my credit card would not allow for that much money to be taken out of account, which weren’t a lot of money, but we were very strict, so I’m sure you want to cut that part of it out. But overall, we were very happy with all the people that worked with us. They were very informative, very interesting, and loved the idea of possibly even having an opportunity to work with you. That’s how much we liked you.
Interviewer: Based on your experience, would you recommend our service?
Maryanne Younger: Absolutely.
Interviewer: Okay. It sounds like you were pleased with your experience with us. Thank you so much and have a nice day.
Maryanne Younger: Yes, same to you. Good luck to you.
Interviewer: Thank you. Bye.
Maryanne Younger: Bye-bye.

Now that timeshare are for sale in Walt Disney Company’s under-construction Hawaiian resort, marketing efforts have begun.
Disney Vacation Club, the timeshare leg of the Walt Disney Company, has added a Hawaiian plug to a television commercial airing in Orlando to promote the timeshare club. They are also having a special sales preview for Walt Disney World’s annual passholders that will include giveaways, a dance party and Disney character appearances.
The new 841-room hotel and timeshare is the first attempt to build a stand-alone resort and attractions in markets away from their theme parks. The company is hoping that the Hawaiian resort will grow Disney Vacation Club’s membership base, which presently is mainly on the U.S. East Coast.
It will be one of five properties that Disney is selling timeshare interests in. The others include The California Vilas, Bay Lake Tower, Animal Kingdom Villas and Treehouse Villas, all of which are at Disney World in Orlando.
The first big update is the new, quick-cut video on the home page. It shows some of the people that work hard to make sure that each one of our clients is taken care of and that all their timeshares are properly transferred. There’s an underlying passion to serve our clients and the timeshare industry. This passion fuels the company with purpose and some would say, joy. So, the atmosphere at the office is fun and enjoyable. We hope that comes through on the video.

On July 14, 2010, Florida state investigators raided a timeshare call center in Ormond Beach, Florida, after receiving dozens of complaints. The company, operating under the name Buy Owner Resort Marketing, has been promising to help customers sell their timeshares but is just one of the timeshare industry con artists that are taking money from timeshare owners and not delivering on their promises.
The company had already been shut down in March for being an unlicensed telemarketing company. When the state learned that it was still operating, agents served a warrant.
The State Attorney General’s Office has been receiving complaints from timeshare owners all over the country. The complaints were all the same story: the company promised to sell or rent out their timeshare but just took their money and they never heard from them again.
Timeshare owners said they’ve paid thousands of dollars in upfront fees, appraisals and closing costs. Representatives for the company refused interviews. Employees deny any wrongdoing.
The Better Business Bureau has given this company an “F” rating and there are over 20 unanswered complaints.
There are no records of any timeshares ever being rented or sold.
Once again, the state of Florida has shut down this company. There are still other companies operating just as this one did all over the country.
Getting out of your timeshare doesn’t have to be this burdensome. Contact Timeshare Relief to get rid of your timeshare without having to deal with rip-offs such as these companies.
