Anti Timeshare Scheme Legislation Passes in Florida

Jeff Florio — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:14:27 +0000

As most timeshare owners who read the news already know scams involving timeshare resales have recently become the number one complaint among consumers over the last two years. The majority of these fraudulent businesses have been operating out of Florida, which also happens to be one of the biggest timeshare states. So it only makes sense that a legislation intended on preventing these scams would come out of Florida. However, a senate level legislation with the same goal should be put into action soon.

A representative from Orlando, Eric Eisnaugle, sponsored the new bill called “Timeshare Resale Accountability Act”. The senate version will be sponsored by Andy Gardiner. The legislations will try to provide required accountability for these resale schemes that attempt to “sell timeshares“. The new law will require them to provide a buyers name or address to any prospective sellers that they contact. This will hopefully prevent them from being able to convince timeshare owners that they have someone ready to buy their timeshare.

One problem with this bill is that it does not necessarily prevent the frauds from scamming timeshare owners. In regards to the unscrupulous crooks that are scamming people, this simply adds one small thing to the list of lies. Now they will be providing a false promise of sale along with a false name of the buyer. Hopefully this will cut down on resale schemes operating in Florida and then for the entire nation once country wide legislation is passed. However, speculation would suggest that people will still be in need of a guaranteed timeshare exit solution.

Denver DA Posts Timeshare Scam Warning

Jeff Florio — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:10:58 +0000

Another scam warning has popped up, this time from a district attorney. Mitch Morrissey, the DA in Denver has posted a scam warning on his Facebook page. This is basically the same scam warning that nearly all government officials have been posting. Morrisseys’ particular warning is pretty much the same regurgitated response that any consumer advisor would provide. Nearly all consumer advocates are advocating these same scam avoiding tactics whether they are government affiliated or not.

The precautions to take are simple enough. Do not pay upfront fees to anyone who is offering to sell your timeshare for you. Do not agree to anything over the phone or internet unless you have initiated the relationship. It is always best to get everything in writing and to make sure you know what your cancellation period is in case something goes awry.

With so many scams aimed at timeshare owners who want out of their timeshares it simply does not make sense to invest any time or effort in trying to sell your timeshare. That is why there are services such as Timeshare Exit Solution. They provide written guarantees that ensure you will be timeshare free and never see another maintenance fee again. So why not get rid of your burdensome financial timeshare obligations once and for all? Let Timeshare Exit Solution help you find relief today!

Australia Timeshare Operators in Trouble

TR360 admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:31:25 +0000

A new piece of legislation in Australia threatens to seriously damage any timeshare operators who do business down under. Under a new Australian law timeshare operators would be classified as financial advisers in an attempt to reform the financial advice sector. This unfortunately would prevent them from being able to accept any sort of commission for their timeshare sales. In any form whether it be bonuses or any other type of incentive timeshare sellers will be unable to implement a commission based system.

The Australian government is still considering whether or not any changes are necessary. However, with the many complaints received from the timeshare industry it is understandable to hold a magnifying glass over this vacation sector. Timeshares are almost exclusively sold during a high pressure sales seminar and they often provide free gifts and incentives to agree to attend these sales presentations.

If a ban on timeshare commissions were to be applied to all timeshare operators in Australia the industry could very well suffer a serious downturn. Just like in the late 80’s when the industry experiences a collapse due to the poor reputation that the high pressure sales presentations warranted. Timeshare resorts have already been forced to seriously downsize their sales staff as timeshares have become slightly more regulated and a lot more difficult to sell timeshares. If you own a timeshare in Australia it may be time for you to consider your timeshare exit solutions.

Can I Donate My Timeshare?

Learn more about the benefits of donating your timeshare!

This may seem like a simple question to answer on your own but the truth is that most timeshare owners are still unsure about the answer. There are just so many timeshare owners that are searching for a way to eliminate their financial timeshare obligations once and for all. While this may seem like an easy question to answer it is actually very difficult to find a solution that allows you to donate your timeshare. Up until recently it was well known that virtually all charitable organizations would not accept a donated timeshare due to the fact that it would become a serious financial liability should the charity be unable to quickly resell the unit. This created the common misconception that you simply cannot donate a timeshare because there are no charities that will take it.

Luckily there are now options that allow you to legitimately donate your timeshare to a qualified charity that will be able to put the timeshare to use. While you may not have been able to find any organization that would accept a donated timeshare in the past, now you can. There are services that allow you to qualify and donate your timeshare to a charity. This is a great solution because not only will you be getting rid of all of your financial timeshare obligations but you will also be able to help others in need.

If you are a timeshare owner that is looking to get rid of a timeshare then you should seriously consider using a donate timeshares solution. Once you have donated your timeshare you will not only have helped out those in need but you may also receive a tax deduction based on the value of your timeshare.

Is There A Timeshare Cure?

Jeff Florio — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 23:25:33 +0000

Are you one of the many timeshare owners who are looking for ways to get rid of your timeshare? For these types of owners, a timeshare has come to be something of a disease that feeds off their finances rather than a nice enjoyable escape to spend their vacations. They used to enjoy visiting their timeshare unit and spending a luxurious vacation filled with accommodations at their location. But for one reason or another they are finding that their timeshare ownership is really more of a burden and they simply cannot rationalize keeping it. The problem is when they try to get rid of it they find out just how difficult a timeshare can be to get out of and they end up searching for a timeshare cure.

While there are plenty of happy timeshare owners who would never refer to their ownership as a disease to their finances, there are also those who have experienced changes to their budget or lifestyle to the point where they can no longer justify the expense of a timeshare. In some cases it is not even changes to their budget or lifestyle but increased fees from the timeshare resort that has caused their timeshare to be just out of reach. If a timeshare resort increases your fees by as much as the travel costs that it takes to get to your resort it can cause serious problems for families who vacation on a budget.

So with so many timeshare owners in need of a timeshare cure doesn’t it make sense that they should be able to get rid of their timeshares? The sad fact is that there are very few ways to actually get out of your timeshare. And for most owners using the services of Timeshare Relief is their only hope to find a timeshare cure. Not just something to provide a possible exit solution but a real guaranteed timeshare exit solution. That is why services like Timeshare Relief exist, to provide a timeshare cure for owners who are in need of getting out, for whatever reason.

Timeshare Relief Reports On New Timeshare Sales Tactics

Jeff Florio — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 17:11:18 +0000

Timeshares have taken a turn for the better. In light of the current economic status timeshare companies have taken a new route to selling their properties. In the past it was done by providing free gifts just to get people to sit and listen to the timeshare sales presentation. The free gifts or hotel stays would provide the incentive to sit and listen for about an hour and a half to what the timeshare people had to offer. This would result in a high pressure sales pitch that for the most part was successful in providing timeshare sales.

However, this method of selling timeshares seems to have changed a bit. With the old strategy timeshare companies were providing a lot of free packages and gifts to people who may very well have had no intention whatsoever of purchasing a timeshare. Because of these inefficiencies in how timeshares were sold they decided to change up their methodology a bit.

Recently many timeshare companies have moved towards approaching vacations while they are out on vacations. The idea is that potential timeshare owners are already on vacation at these hotels or resorts. And they enjoy the location enough to plan out a trip and book hotels on their own. On top of this the timeshare companies would save a lot of money on their sales pitches, no more free tickets to expensive shows or gift baskets full of bath and bodyworks items. It’s sort of like setting up a lemonade stand on a sunny day by the beach rather than on a cold rainy day, it just makes more sense.

The big question that remains is whether or not this will have an effect on the satisfaction of timeshare owners. There will still be a large amount of timeshare owners who are looking for ways to cancel their timeshare fees and obligations. For those owners there will always be the services of Timeshare Relief to help them get out from under the barrage of maintenance fees and special assessments. However, hopefully this new method for selling timeshares will make it so that the people buying into a new timeshare know that they will enjoy it for many years to come.

Inc. Magazine Ranks Timeshare Relief 1,288 on Their 5000 List for 2010

Sarah Thorne — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:17:27 +0000

For the second year in a row, Timeshare Relief has been honored by Inc. Magazine. For the 2010 edition, Timeshare Relief ranked 1,288 on the Inc. 5000 list. In 2009, the company was ranked 318 on the Inc. 500 list.

The place on the Inc. 5000 is an honorable addition to Timeshare Relief’s achievements which include LA Business Journal Top 100 Award and the Number 1 Best in Business Award from Consumer’s First Choice. Timeshare Relief is now amidst the company of such remarkable industry leaders as McAfee and Vizio who also ranked on the list for exceptional percentage revenue growth over a four year pay period.

Timeshare Relief is considered the world’s foremost guaranteed timeshare exit solution. Timeshare Relief relieves their clients of burdensome timeshare contracts. Since Timeshare Relief was founded in 2004, they have helped close to 50,000 timeshare owners get out of approximately 60,000 timeshare contracts.

In 1999, David MacMillan and his wife, Cindy, realized that buying their Las Vegas timeshare had been a mistake. They tried selling it, but soon learned that there was no way out of their contract. After doing some research, they found out they weren’t alone in their desire to escape their timeshare contract. David and Cindy founded Timeshare Relief in 2004. For a fee, the company will help timeshare owners get out of their contracts. Timeshare Relief has established relationships with companies that deal with larger quantities of timeshares in order to conduct the timeshare transfers.

Timeshare Relief has seen tremendous growth in the past two years. With the economy in its current state, timeshare owners have been trying to find ways to eliminate their yearly maintenance fees and/or recoup part of their investment.

“There’s a lot of people in pain out there who see their life savings being wiped out, who we can help,” says David MacMillan. “We’re fortunate to have an industry that’s actually done well in this economy.”
