Timeshare Owner Dilemma – To Pass Along a Timeshare to Heirs Or Not

Timeshare Advice, Timeshare Relief Testimonial No Comments »

One common theme of some Timeshare Relief clients is a timeshare dilemma of whether to pass their timeshares and the associated fees and debt onto their children and heirs. What they don’t understand is that a majority of the children do not want the timeshares, especially if they come with fees and debt. Inherited timeshares are normally older, require more maintenance and upkeep and may have fallen out of favor in terms of modern amenities and location.

Ron & Joyce faced the timeshare dilemma recently. They had seen a Timeshare Relief presentation before, yet came again to analyze the Timeshare Relief option once more. They were not sure about paying to get rid of their timeshare. They wanted something back for a timeshare after spending too much money on the timeshare in the first place. But, they did not want to pay any more and certainly did not want their children to pay for the timeshare.

As they spent more time consulting with Timeshare Relief representatives, they realized that over time they would save a lot more money over the years by not paying the annual maintenance fees on their timeshares. The maintenance fees were a point of contention for the couple, having doubled within the last five years. In 2009 alone, the maintenance fees were over $5000. They worried that the fee hike constituted a trend. It was hard to imagine the impact on their finances if that happened again over the next five years, or worse what it meant should the timeshares be inherited by their children. Ron & Joyce felt that they really needed to get out of making those payments if they could.

The couple worried about passing the debt on to their heirs. They wanted to work with Timeshare Relief to prevent this from happening. This is a valid concern for many timeshare owners. Many couples, such as Ron & Joyce search for answers to help them with this problem. They come to Timeshare Relief with the question: if our timeshare is passed on to our heirs, who is responsible for the payments from then on? After other stops with people that couldn’t answer that question, couples such as Ron & Joyce, go to Timeshare Relief to see if they can get help to keep this from happening. Ron & Joyce felt better about having a chance to work with Timeshare Relief to consider their options for this problem.

Timeshare Relief Testimonial with Donald and Debbie Ogden [Video]

Timeshare Relief Testimonial No Comments »

Donald and Debbie Ogden met with Timeshare Relief in Ontario, California for a consultation concerning issues with their timeshare properties. The couple wanted advice on what they could do to get rid of three timeshare properties they owned. The timeshares were costing them maintenance fees of $109 per month. The couple calculated that to be about $1308 annually.

Donald and Debbie are like many timeshare owners that find that timeshares have some unforeseen consequences. Donald noted that $1308 a year was becoming a burden, and he predicted that the maintenance fees would probably go up over the years. The couple worried about passing the burden on to their son if he inherited the properties. Donald felt that he wanted to part with the timeshares mainly for this reason.

Through working with Timeshare Relief, the Ogdens were able to come to a solution to part with the three timeshare properties. Donald and Debbie were a little concerned about how long the transaction would take to complete, but overall they were satisfied with the outcome. Donald even joked during an interview when he was asked if he felt relief. He said that he didn’t feel relief yet, but should soon. The couple seemed very happy that they had worked out the problem with Timeshare Relief.

The Attorney General of Maryland Gives Timeshare Advice

Timeshare News No Comments »

We know that readers of this blog understand that it’s coming from the perspective of Timeshare Relief. So, that’s the reason why we want to also provide 3rd-party documents and news so that our readers can be informed on what is going on in the timeshare industry today.

Maryland’s Attorney General, Douglas F. Gansler, has recently focused the newest edition of The Consumer’s Edge on advice for those looking to buy a timeshare. The article is titled, “Timeshares: a Break from Reality” and lists things to consider before deciding to become a timeshare owner.

Here are some of the points made in the article.

1. Do your homework. Research as much as you can so that you know what you know exactly what you’re getting into if you decide to purchase a timeshare.

2. Take a close look at the numbers. Consider the mortgage payments, travel costs, maintenance fees (that typically increase over time), finance costs and taxes.

3. Make sure you visit the resort before you buy.

4. Learn what the difference is between timeshare intervals and a deeded timeshare. Educate yourself on fixed or floating timeshare, timeshare points, vacation clubs, biennial timeshare, fractionals and lock offs.

5. And most importantly, do not expect your timeshare value to appreciate. Timeshares are like used cares – they depreciate quickly. “Timeshares are an expensive purchase and should not be considered an investment. Consumers need to do their homework before signing any contract,” explains the attorney general.

The report is extremely informative and should be helpful to anyone considering purchasing a timeshare, and even to current timeshare owners who don’t fully understand what they have gotten themselves in to.

Should you want a more personal consultation, please call Timeshare Relief at 1-866-797-0535 and set up a time with one of our friendly timeshare experts.

Charlie’s Math and Timeshare Relief Make Him a Happy Man

Timeshare Relief Testimonial No Comments »

Charlie is a former timeshare owner who worked with Timeshare Relief to come up with a solution to his timeshare problem. Charlie had worked with Timeshare Relief in the past to give a brief testimonial about how happy he was to rid himself of his timeshare and its related hidden costs.

Timeshare relief followed up with part II of the interview with Charlie. In it, Charlie was asked to explain the arithmetic behind the cost issue of his timeshare ownership and to elaborate a little bit about the decision that led him to seek out Timeshare Relief for a solution.

Charlie’s joy at getting rid of the timeshare genuinely shows in the interview. He talks jokingly about the “reasonable arithmetic” behind the reason for disposing of his timeshare. Although the interview has funny undertones, the sum he has been paying is sobering. Charlie talked about his monthly maintenance fees totaling $900 and went on to explain that the company would pull a “sneaker” on him every once in a while by charging him $500 as a special assessment.

He also said that he had spent $17,000 on the timeshare upfront. He said that when you divide that by 7 that wound up being $1000. Charlie realized after doing the math that if he used the timeshare his 7 day vacation would wind up costing him roughly $2000-$3000. No matter how you add that up, that’s not a good deal by a long shot.

Charlie didn’t allude to it in the video, but there are other reasons why he can’t justify the money he is spending on the timeshare. Timeshare Relief found out that he hardly used his timeshare. He was spending a lot of money out of pocket for, well, basically nothing. He paid $1000 a year for the timeshare and over the next five years he would be out $5000. Over ten years that figure would double. Surely, Charlie could put his money to a better use.

At the end of the interview, Charlie was asked, “How do you feel being done with the timeshare now?” Charlie said, “Very good”. Timeshare Relief made Charlie a very happy and satisfied customer.

Timeshare Relief Testimonial – What Many Are Experiencing in Timeshare Resales

Timeshare Relief Testimonial No Comments »

Nancy Stewart became a Timeshare Relief client after coming to a presentation with our Travel team in Springfield, MO. She and her husband had a very difficult time trying to get rid of their timeshare. They had originally seen another company that had offered a similar service to Timeshare Relief (perhaps even seeing our company years before). They were at first shocked to find out that the service had to be paid for.

But after a long battle of trying to get out of the timeshare contract, they received an invitation to come see us. They did and decided that Timeshare Relief was their best option. They were very happy that they did. And as you can see and hear, Timeshare Relief followed through and the Stewarts no longer have a timeshare to worry about these days.

Interviewer: All right, for the record, if it’s okay, what is your name?

Nancy Stewart: Nancy Stewart.

Interviewer: Are you satisfied with the service that Timeshare Relief has provided?

Nancy Stewart: Absolutely.

Interviewer: Are you still paying for your timeshare?

Nancy Stewart: No.

Interviewer: Did you enjoy receiving the notification of final transfer?

Nancy Stewart: Yes.

Interviewer: Have you tried any other service besides Timeshare Relief to get you out of your timeshare?

Nancy Stewart: Oh, yes.

Interviewer: What did they do and how did they work for you?

Nancy Stewart: They took our money and didn’t do anything.

Interviewer: Why did you –

Nancy Stewart: Nothing.

Interviewer: Why did you decide to go with Timeshare Relief?

Nancy Stewart: Well, because we just kept paying and paying and paying the maintenance fee every year and we went to St. Louis a couple years before you folks helped us, and we were so shocked when the man said if we would pay him a certain amount of money, he would take our timeshare. We didn’t dream we’d have to pay to have someone take it off our hands. So, we didn’t do anything that time, but when we got the notice that you would be in Springfield, I told my husband we have to do this.

Interviewer: On a scale of 1-10, what is your overall satisfaction level with our service?

Nancy Stewart: 10; if 10 is the best.

Interviewer: Yes. Is there anything else you would like to share about your experience with Timeshare Relief?

Nancy Stewart: No. I just think anyone, whenever they have paid and paid and paid and people have promised they would help them and they just take their money and they don’t do anything, and they get a chance like we had with you, they need to go ahead and have them take it of their hands because they’re never going to be able to sell it any other way. They’ll never get rid of it unless they do what we did.

Interviewer: Based on your experience, would you recommend our services?

Nancy Stewart: Absolutely.

Interviewer: It sounds like you were pleased with your experience with us.

Nancy Stewart: Very pleased.

Interviewer: Thank you so much and have a nice day.

Nancy Stewart: You’re welcome. Thank you for calling. Bye-bye.
