The LAST Straw for a timeshare owner is Timeshare Cancellation.

The last chance for a timeshare owner is Timeshare Cancellation. This process works when you have the qualifications of misrepresentation and have been victimized by deceptive sales practices on the so called “90 minute timeshare sells tour”, which often turned into 3 hours. This is your first qualification under the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act. How many times did you say NO on the tour 3? 4? 6? I bet you can’t even remember. The result of high pressure sales tactics is that now you are left with a deed that you do not use or want anymore! What also goes along with this deed are FEES – something that you are sick of paying.

Do the words “Taxes” and “Maintenance fees” make you sick? I’m sure they do, and as a former timeshare owner I am relieved to never have to pay them again and so can YOU!

We were stuck with maintenance fees and taxes equating to well over $4,500 a year! We can easily travel and stay for a week for much less than that, so getting out of our unfair contact with the help of TimeshareCancellation.org was the best thing we could have done. Thank goodness, we did not fall prey to one of the timeshare sales, cancellation, or scam companies. We paid about $50 to get the “instant access” to the valuable info and resources we needed to cancel it ourselves!

Timeshares are a “crummy investment”!

This is just one of the thousands of stories of Timeshare Transfer Fraud. Does this story sound familiar?

A snap shot of the Timeshare rental/resell market.

Since the inception of Cancellation to the timeshare industry in 2007 there have been many companies that have come to surface to “help” you cancel your Timeshare. If you are a Timeshare owner I’m sure you have been called a few times by these same exact businesses trying to take your hard earned money. These Timeshare call centers can charge you in excess of $2,500 per deed and you do not need representation (attorneys) for this! You will be amazed at how easy it is to cancel a Timeshare yourself. It is simply about knowing the simple steps. These steps are guarded by timeshare companies, but it’s really simple as 1 2 3!

Timeshare cancellation.org is here to reveal the so called SECRET process on how to cancel your timeshare. Timeshare Cancellation is not rocket science it’s really on the Level of High School work. The process is only secret because so much money is on the line for these timeshare companies. They don’t want you to know that you can get yourself out! Just read this excerpt from Financial Samurai;

Timeshare contracts are written to be very iron-clad and can be extremely difficult to get out of, it is often joked about that even death will not get rid of your timeshare as it will pass on to your heirs. On top of very long term contracts timeshares also involve something called maintenance fees and special assessments. Every timeshare has received some sort of maintenance fee and it is basically the cost of ownership once the initial purchase price is paid off. It may seem very difficult to get out of these contracts, but…THERE ARE SOLUTIONS!

So let’s get started.

Do you feel like this about your Timeshare? Get OUT now!

If you are still reading this then you might be a timeshare owner that has either tried to sell or rent your Timeshare through the so called resell and rental companies. You may be a victim of losing a few hundred dollars or a few thousand dollars with no luck on the selling or renting your Timeshare. Now your burden is costing you even more money! Our eBook and resources will help you get yourself out in a few easy steps and it is available instantly for one low flat fee of $49.95.

After the Attorney Generals started to monitor the Timeshare resale and rental industry they caught many fraudulent corporations and shut down about 50 of these businesses. They were asking for timeshare owners’ money up front, saying it was a marketing and listing fee, to get away with the fraudulent lies they often used. They NEVER offered refunds.

Taking it a step further, some of the resell and rental companies were now saying that they had a buyer for the Timeshare owner and that they had the money in an escrow account and now they need to pay a certain amount to receive the buyers money out of the escrow account. Does this sound familiar? These companies would take anywhere from $750 to $3,500 per transaction and the Timeshare owner got nothing.

After articles (like this one) were published about this fraud, investigators subpoenaed some of these companies and found they were making from $100,000 to $500,000 a month stealing from the victims of timeshares. There are literally dozens of YouTube videos about this!

Here is a quote from Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi about timeshare resale “predators”;

The telemarketers typically set up shop in boiler rooms, warehouse spaces filled with hundreds of phone lines and desks where employees spend all day cold calling potential victims.

Bondi’s primary advice for avoiding timeshare fraud?

“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”

So save yourself the money and risk and do not deal with these telemarketers. TimeshareCancellation.org has the resources you need to cancel your contract yourself. Get the eBook now, and get on the road to freedom. TimeshareCancellation.org is the smartest and most efficient way to get out of your timeshare.

Timeshare 101

The Basics…

There are two basic ways Timeshare are sold. The first way is by weeks, each owner will own a set week or floating week. The second way is to own points. Points can be a little tricky at times but for the most part remember points = weeks. The initial purchase price maybe made all at once or over time; periodic maintenance fees are likely to increase every year.

Timeshares as Investments or Not

Most people become convinced that timeshares are an investment much like houses. However, timeshares are far from being a good investment. Think of timeshare as being similar to a company stock. If this company sells off millions of shares of stock, it dilutes the market making the price per stock to go down. It is the same with timeshares…you are a fractional owner of a room at a resort. If a resort has to 1000 units available and 50 owners per unit…that generates $50,000. Now, say 5% decide to sell their timeshare that means there are 2500 timeshares for sale on the resale] market. Now, you have to realize that the 2499 timeshares for sale are your completion but unlike the real estate market where every house is different or has different features you are selling the same thing.

Deeded vs. Leased

There are two different types of ownership in timeshares and the first is deeded. This is very similar to owning a house. You are the owner of a fractional resort. Your deed will state that you own a specific week and a specific unit number; however, if you have a floating week allocated to you it will say a week number/float and floating unit. This is a physical ownership stating that you own a specific unit number or floating unit during that specific week number or floating week. Deeds can be passed down to children. There is also no time limit of how long you own this deed.

Leased on the other hand will be set for a specific amount of years typically thirty. Just like a deed you would own a fraction of a resort and would be able to use it as the lease states however, you would not be the owner after the leased years are up.

“Right to Use” Vacation Interval Option

In this option, a developer owns the resort, which is made up of condominiums or units. Each condo or unit is divided into “intervals”-either by weeks or the equivalent in points. You purchase the right to use an interval at the resort for a specific number of years-typically between 10-50 years. The interest you own is legally considered personal property. The specific unit use at the resort may not be the same each year. In addition to the price for the right to use an interval, you pay an annual maintenance fee that is likely to increases each year.

Within the “rights to use” option several plans can affect your ability to use a unit:

Fixed or Floating

Different resorts offer different packages. When it comes to the week you own it (could be a fixed week or floating week) in some cases it could be both. If you own a fixed week that means you have it that week every year. If you have a floating week that means you need to contact the resort to reserve the week that you want. Now, some resorts will assign you a fixed week but also allow you to call and reserve a different week while giving up the fixed week you already have. The one that would suite anyone best would really depend on your schedule and how you schedule your vacation. If you know you will have vacation time every year on a set week then a fixed week would be perfect. If you have no idea when you can go on a vacation then you are better off looking for a resort that has floating weeks.

Fractional Ownership

Rather than an annual week, you buy a large share of vacation ownership time, usually up to 26 weeks.

Bi annual Ownership

You use the resort every other year.

Lock off or Lockout

You occupy a portion of the unit and offer the remaining space for rental or exchange. These units typically have two to three bedrooms and baths.

Points-Based Vacation Plans

You purchase a certain number of points, and exchange them for the right to use an interval at one or more resorts. In a points-based vacation plan (sometimes referred to as a Vacation Club), the number of points you need to use an interval varies according to the length of the stay, size of the unit, location of the resort and when you want to use it.

How Exchange Programs Work

Exchange programs such as RCI (Resorts Condominium International) and II (Interval International) are paid memberships. These memberships allow you to bank your timeshare week with their company. This will give you one banked week that you can use at a later date. When you decide you want to go on vacation you would call the exchange company and ask to use your banked week for the resort you want to go to. These programs were designed for someone who can’t use their week that year. Another alternative to banking your week would be renting your week out to someone that wants to use it. This could be a friend, family, coworker, etc…If you can’t find someone personally to rent out your week there are many of services that can help out to do so.

Timeshare History

Psychology of a Timeshare Sale…

One of the original timeshare developers saw the concept over in Europe and thought it would be a great way to make a tremendous amount of money and rewrite how people actually travel. Upon returning to the US with this concept in mind they decided that instead of actually charging people money on the front side to purchase the timeshare they just wanted people to sign a contract for the maintenance fees that virtually go on forever with the right to be ‘assessed” and changed at anytime. Well sales didn’t go so well because most people were so focused on those maintenance fees and all the money paid over a long period of time.

Soon after poor sales they contacted a marketing specialist in NY and they were told this is what you do…charge $25,000-$35,000 on the front side of the timeshare so that people are distracted and they focus on that to divert their attention to the $600-$700 maintenance fees and right to assess. Now, they discount their original offer so much (maybe $35,000 to $15,000) it generally would result in extending their credit card to purchase. Now they were to take a large portion of the money generated from that sale and put it into marketing to drive people to a sales room giving out free gifts, hotels, cash, etc… to entice potential other potential buyers.

So, it all boils down to the ability to generate emotions. By raising ones emotions “giving” you, “today only” a “great deal” generally making people feel vulnerable and they go ahead and purchase not fully aware of all the fine print or all documents for that matter which was never fully disclosed. It’s their job to do whatever it takes to sell you something…and if it’s not the original tour guide it will be another, if not them, then another. 20/20, CNN, ABC and NBC have all documented televised specials unveiling these sales tactics via hidden camera exposing the industries trickery. So, why do people continue to buy? Well, that’s what a good sales person does, SELL, and they are very good.
