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.
Paul Wright and his wife were disappointed in their timeshare purchase because of how it tied them down and prevented them from some other options financially. So, they were grateful when Timeshare Relief was able to permanently get rid of the timeshare.

Have you ever had that feeling of “Buyer’s Remorse”? On the surface you felt as if you had to have something you wanted, but deep down you knew you really didn’t want it or have to have it. Then you bought that item anyway. Later, you knew you paid too much for it, and when you really got down to it, it was something you didn’t want after all.
There is something like that in the timeshare industry. Buyers have a rescission period after they sign a timeshare contract that allows them to cancel the contract without paying penalties. Some companies only give you 3 days to think about your purchase, but many companies will give you about a week to rescind your purchase. A rare few offer up to 21 days. Check your contract for the number of days that you have for a rescission.
Cancellation of a timeshare contract normally requires that you make a written request to the timeshare resort (the party listed in the timeshare contract). If you come to the conclusion that you do not want the timeshare, prepare the written request right away.
It’s not enough to send the letter off and wait to hear something back. The most effective way to ensure the cancellation goes through is to personally deliver the cancellation request to the timeshare sales office. Take down names and as much contact information as possible. Write this information down.
A better idea is to bring two copies of the request and walk it through to get the required signatures. The signatures you will need to have are from the people in charge. Have that person(s) sign the copies as proof of acceptance and make sure you provide them with one of the copies.
Although hand delivering the letter is the best method, you can mail the cancellation letter. Don’t leave things to chance with standard mail. Use certified mail with return receipt. Keep the return receipt as proof of when you mailed the letter to the timeshare company. The receipt is also proof of when the letter was received. Get in the habit of using certified mail when communicating with any company officially, especially if you are dealing with cash. If you aren’t careful, the timeshare company can say that they never received your letter. Then you’ll have one of the worst cases of “Buyer’s Remorse” you ever had.
If you’ve followed all this advice and are still having problems, it may be time to contact an attorney.

With the number of fraudulent companies appearing in the timeshare resale industry, timeshare owners should take a close look at their options if they want to get rid of their timeshare.
First of all, there is not a “best way” to sell a timeshare. Timeshares are simply very difficult to sell. First, there are few buyers that want a timeshare on a day-to-day basis. Even though the timeshare industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, most buyers buy at the resorts where they can see, smell and experience the timeshare that they are buying. To buy a timeshare sight unseen is like buying a home without ever being in it.
The second part to this is that there are many people trying to sell timeshares. People’s lifestyles change. They no longer want to use their timeshare or cannot use it at all. For example, the kids go to college, or a loss of a job, or health issues arise. So, as the maintenance fee bills come in every year, it becomes more of a burden than a vacation getaway.
You’ll find people willing to give away their timeshares for free (minus the closing costs) or for very low costs just to eliminate these fees and the contractual obligation that timeshares place on owners. But, this leads to a flood of inventory on the market. Looking on some popular timeshare selling websites, there are easily tens of thousands for sale just on single websites alone. There are some estimates that millions of timeshares are either on sale or want to be put on sale. So, every timeshare starts to look the same and with buyers not wanting to buy something they’ve never seen or experienced, very few transactions get done.
The last point to think about when selling a timeshare is the amount of money that goes into the marketing and sales of timeshares by the timeshare resorts. For every timeshare that is sold at a resort, roughly 33% to 60% of that goes to marketing and sales of the timeshare. That’s an incredible amount! Some of the best salespeople in the world sell timeshares because of how lucrative it is. But, as a single owner who has little budget or time, is it even possible to compete with the resorts themselves?
Selling any type of real estate is especially difficult right now with the recession. Timeshare sales are down several billion dollars from their record highs in 2008. Typical timeshare owners do not gain any equity on their timeshare, so it makes for a harder deal than other forms of real estate.
Although it may seem self-serving, Timeshare Relief would prefer timeshare owners not go through some of the trials and tribulations of trying to sell a timeshare. It really pains us to see owners paying out so much money for so little in return. If you would like more information about how to avoid the timeshare resale industry entirely, give our friendly expert advisors a call at the special Timeshare Relief hotline: 1-866-797-0535. There is no obligation and we want to provide all the information you need to make a good decision for you.
The end of August typically ends the summer vacation for most children across the US. Now that all the family trips and travels are done, the kids are now heading back to school. (In California, some have been back for almost two weeks already!) It’s a return to a “normal” schedule – kids to school, parents to work, not much time to think.
That is until the bills come.
The one that many timeshare owners dislike the most is the hefty one called the timeshare maintenance fee bill, or worse the special assessment. Come to the end of the year, we advise timeshare owners to start setting aside money for these bills. The financial obligation is spelled out quite clearly in most timeshare contracts that they must be paid regardless whether the timeshare will be used or not.
Be honest with yourself, with the kids in school, the chances of exchanging your timeshare for another during the school year are slim to none. Also, with the scheduling rules of timeshares of advanced booking sometimes a year in advance, it’s not easy to get the place that you want.
If you’re thinking of ending the financial obligation for your timeshare, give Timeshare Relief a call. The special hotline is 1-866-797-0535. There’s no obligation to use our service and the information that you receive could save you thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in future timeshare fees. Take the worry off your mind, so that all you need to really worry about is what your kids are learning at school.
Peggy Peasnall had tried for years to sell her timeshare. Not only was she not successful, but she ended up paying thousands of dollars for timeshare resale services that never worked. Even with these experiences, she and her husband decided to use the Timeshare Relief timeshare transfer service. They no longer have a timeshare in their name and do not have to pay for something that they did not use. Check out the audio (turned into a video) below and hear Peggy in her own words…
Interviewer: All right, for the record, if it’s okay, what is your name?
Peggy Peasnall: Peggy Peasnall.
Interviewer: Are you satisfied with the service that Timeshare Relief has provided?
Peggy Peasnall: Yes.
Interviewer: Are you still paying for your timeshare?

Interviewer: Have you tried any other service besides Timeshare Relief to get you out of your timeshare?
Peggy Peasnall: Yes.
Interviewer: What did they do and how did they work for you?
Peggy Peasnall: They charged us $500 upfront for each of them and we probably did it on four of them and never heard a word from them after, and so I would call them once a year. And this has been like five or six years we’ve done this, and I never got any results at all; not even one call.
Interviewer: Why did you decide to go with Timeshare Relief?
Peggy Peasnall: Because we didn’t use the timeshare and we were tired of paying the fees and everything for something that we weren’t using.
