Timeshare Watch

Timeshare is no stranger to scams. Despite the numerous numbers of cases filed against timeshare companies and agents and in spite of the popularity of timeshare frauds, many still fall to these agents and companies. The primary reason often pointed out is the fact that most timeshare owners want to get rid of their unit immediately that they bite right away to whatever offering available. Of course, the fault lies in both sides. Yes, the blame is on these scammers but as a consumer, timeshare owners should also be able to protect themselves .

There are a lot companies and agents who offer timeshare exit solution but timeshare owners should be able to determine the real from the not. Many owners are carrying the burden of skyrocketing maintenance fees so they would do anything to get out of their timeshare. At these days, this task is seemingly insurmountable. If you want to sell your timeshare, you have yourself a lot of competition over a very small market. So you need an extra hand for your timeshare exit solution.

The good news is there are still people who genuinely want to help you get rid of your timeshare. But how can you determine the real from the not? Here are simple guidelines to follow:

1. Do not say yes immediately. Before choosing the one to offer you timeshare exit solution, choose among at least three companies to help you out.

2. Check on the credibility of a person or a company you will deal with. As a start, be sure you know where the specific location of their office is. Make sure that they are licensed to run their business. See the Better Business Bureau (BBB), check if the company is accredited and have no past cases of frauds. It is always best if you seek help from a BBB Accredited Business.

3. Never make any deal on a phone or by simply verbal communication. Have all the terms and conditions written on a contract. Make sure you read the contract thoroughly before signing it.

4. Beware of sweet offerings. Many scammers will lure you to make business with them because they offer the fastest and most convenient timeshare exit solution. But when you encounter such, better back away for this is a typical strategy of a timeshare resale company that engaged in fraud.

These are only a few friendly reminders for timeshare owners. You have the power to have a timeshare exit solution that is effective, all you have to is do your research.

Timeshare Exit Solutions


Listing timeshares online is one idea to get rid of timeshares. But it isn’t a bright idea either. Letting someone rent your timeshare is another way. But still you get stuck up with maintenance fees once your unit is vacant. Reselling perhaps is the most popular yet news has spread about the ongoing resale scams and so most likely people don’t buy it.

What do you think is the problem of many timeshare owners who only wanted to be out of timeshare fee obligations for life?

Their first problem is about themselves who bought that unit right from the start. Why invest into a vacation plan that asks for thousands of dollars. Even so it somehow saves a family’s vacation overnight stays, still, timeshare ownership, should be the least choice for vacation. But since you already bought that unit, then, we’ll discuss about how to get away from it later.

Second, because they wanted to hide themselves from fees immediately, they think reselling could be the right one for them. What timeshares owner resort to are outside agencies that only ask for additional initial charges. Resale companies promise to reimburse these fees once the unit is sold. But in the end, they dishonor their promises and leave owners empty-handed. Despite the negative news about unscrupulous resale companies, owners still cling on to them.

The secondary market also didn’t go well in these changing times. A lot of resale units aren’t seen because of the increasing number of timeshare resales. And so, there are lesser chances for you to be bought. Most of the time, owners compromise too much their unit’s price just so they can do away with it for life.

Renting doesn’t even seem to be a brilliant idea since developers compete with them. Developers as we all know have more edge than them in terms of span and scope of advertising. In addition to that, they all have to means to reach the farthest potential buyer.

When all hopes are gone, there is only but one timeshare exit solution to this. Don’t dwell anymore on secondary procedures. Go for the sure way and that is the timeshare transfer title. Learn about this and you’ll be timeshare free.

Title Transfer Companies offer Timeshare Relief


Timeshare relief has been offered by a lot of timeshare-related companies nowadays. The most effective and legitimate companies which offer this kind of service are timeshare title transfer companies. For a certain fee, these companies provide timeshare owners freedom from their timeshare properties or units. Since the number of timeshare owners who are getting tired and are fed up with their timeshare vacation packages are rapidly increasing, the presence of these companies emerged in order to offer and give these people help. Timeshare title transfer companies dedicate their services to those timeshare owners who would really want to get rid of their unwanted and unbeneficial timeshares. They can do this job perfectly because these companies are legitimate business organizations and could legally transfer your timeshare contract away from you to a different party who wants it.

The conveyance of the timeshare possession from the timeshare owner to a private corporation or to another person who wants to have a timeshare is the business models of title transfer companies’ basic concept. Same as any individual person, lawful corporate organizations can also have the right to own a property, like a timeshare for example. This is because corporate entities are granted and given juridical personalities by corporate statuses in many territories. This kind of ownership is being shared at by the board of directors, officers, important staff, and stakeholders/shareholders of that certain corporation or organization.

Timeshare title transfer is done by the title transfer companies wherein they make sure that they could and would transfer your timeshare possession from you to a private corporation as created for that purpose specially. With that fact given, all the responsibilities specifically the financial ones of the timeshare owned by a person with also be transferred from the owner of the timeshare to that corporate organization. If this process is successfully achieved by the title transfer company, the timeshare owner is then guaranteed with total freedom from those financial burdens and liabilities that his or her timeshare property caused him or her.

It is also important that timeshare owners should still be on guard before they proceed into engaging with such transactions with title transfer companies. The reason for this caution is to make timeshare owners aware of some companies who offer these services but just appear as scams and fraudulent ones who deceive timeshare owners in availing for their services and make money out of it. To avoid transacting and doing business with a less than legitimate company, you should apply discretion and even proper zeal before committing with a transfer company. Finally, just make sure that you deal with a lawful title transfer company who could guarantee you timeshare relief forever.

The Timeshare Industry in a Global Scope


The Timeshare industry holds a strong market potential worldwide. This obvious manifestation supports the fact that the US Timeshare industry is still on a growth curve in spite of the fact that the US economy is experiencing a decline in the housing market or real estate and fuel prices increase. This served as an indication that the timeshare industry did not fall to the economic woes and is still doing well amidst the economic downfalls nowadays. Since change is inevitable, the trend for vacation do vary from time to time especially today that possible consumers are opting for alternative vacations that would only demand them less spending for travelling.

There’s also a great potential that might emerge today on the vacation ownership markets in Asian countries. Examples of these countries would be India, Singapore, China, Malaysia and Indonesia.

This is a report that shows the study on the dynamics of the timeshare industry internationally. It further reveals their analyzation on the expected regions that would experience a higher growth in the industry and the European region also that is struggling with some regulations that they need to establish and the likes to help further the vacation ownership there. It also gave a brief knowledge about the US timeshare industry’s high growth amidst an economic slowdown.

There are four major vacation ownership industries that are of competitive intensity- Wyndham Vacation Ownership (Wyndham Worldwide), Marriott Vacation Club Ownership (Marriott International), Hilton Grand Vacations Company (Hilton Hotels) and Starwood Vacation Ownership (Starwood Hotels & Resorts).

Reality Bites: Timeshares


Vacation time is coming. Unlike others who rush for bookings and accommodations, you are calm and ready for everything is all set. That is the beauty of having a timeshare. However, don’t you think it would be better to stop worrying about ever-increasing timeshare maintenance fees and special assessments? Time for you to get practical, time to get rid of your timeshare unit.

The economy is not just friendly to everyone and you are not exemption. Even the king of timeshare industry like Marriott International is greatly affected by the financial crisis.

Every commodity seems to be increasing in price. To cope up with this, you should prioritize necessities and drop luxuries like owning a timeshare unit.

Timeshares are coated with such a glamorous image that makes you feel like royalties having your own unit in a high-class hotel, resort or condominium. But just when you can get away from all the troubles of life, reality sinks in. You are now bombarded with too many fees that aren’t exactly compensated by the experience you had in spending time in your unit.

Owning a timeshare unit during these times is not practical. Picture this you are paying thousands of dollars for something that you only use for a very short period, and sometimes you don’t actually have the chance to use it. There is a specific period of time for you to enjoy your timeshare but it cannot be avoided that it might coincide with your work. Yes, you can book on other weeks but that would take a lot of money.

This is the time to be practical. Unload your timeshare unit. But be careful with timeshare resellers. Make sure you check with Better Business Bureau before transacting with a timeshare resale company. You would not want to end up among victims of scammers who will drain your money and at the end you still have your timeshare with you.

Getting out of your timeshare contract is not an easy thing to do. Selling your unit would take some time, especially these times when there are many owners who are also putting their units on sale. The image of timeshares has also suffered tremendously that people would hesitate to buy one.

More News on Timeshare Scams

Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ investigators recently raided an Ormond Beach-based timeshare sales office. The said investigators issued a search warrant to Buy Owner Resort Marketing. According to the agency’s spokesperson, Liz Compton, the investigation details are not yet available as of this time since it is still ongoing.

It was in March 2010 that the regulators told the said company to stop its telemarketing arm for the reason that it is not registered. But the said reason is not yet confirmed whether it is related to the warrant issued to them.

The above incident is just one of the consequences of many timeshare resale companies who have been doing unsound business practices.

Their hard selling tactics include calling up the timeshare owners and present to them the enticing offers. The usual circumstance at the end of the conversation is to ask for mailing payments through credit card. Desperate timeshare owners then grab the opportunity thinking that this is a one shot blessing to finally get away from the hassles of owning a timeshare. In effect, it did even create a financial disaster on them since a huge amount of money was busted by some merciless outsiders.

The truth of the matter is buyers and sellers are having a hard time looking for that legitimate timeshare resale company that will give the optimum results. With the ongoing influx of timeshare resale companies it is hard to choose which ones are just right for them.

There are so many things that a consumer has to be aware of when reselling timeshares. But let me give you some tips.

One, you have to be knowledgeable of what you are selling. Research is important for you to get the most out of your timeshare. Awareness on the total value of your timeshare will let you resell it much faster and easier though there are no guarantees of these. But at least you don’t wave out those potential buyers. The price of a resale unit usually falls between 30%-50% of its original price.

Real timeshare resale companies do not ask for initial charges. Most scammers reason out that these fees are intended for the advertising costs and/or mailing payments when in fact they are not.

To further validate whether the resale company is good or not, inquire at the Better Business Bureau. They have an online site where you can access and immediately determine whether a company is good or not.

Be smart enough to transfer that timeshare of yours.

Some Facts About Timeshares

When it comes to exclusive ownerships, timeshares are the best vacation to choose from. Travelers enjoy the benefits of luxurious facilities and amenities without the hassles of booking. It has been patronized by so many for years since the price is justifiable to the services it renders.

But like any other industry, it was also affected by the financial crisis that urged top major hotel chains to take actions that will sustain and help survive their business and the industry as well. Alongside with the significant sales drop that amounted to loss of billions of dollars, is the ongoing entrapment of scammers towards timeshare owners. Unscrupulous companies have been persistent in doing unsound business practices. Timeshare owners continued to file complaints at their respective Attorney Generals. Better Business Bureau kept on listing and hunting those illegitimate and deceitful companies.
As a consumer, you must know your rights. A well-informed consumer can avoid common mistakes in buying and selling timeshares.

Well, it is risky not to have seen a property that you intend to purchase. But most of the potential buyers do purchase timeshares this way. You may horribly see your vacation place most likely when you arrive.

Most people think that owning a timeshare entails them to do good business in the future. Potential buyers must remember that timeshares are not like any other investments that increase in value. In fact the value depreciates through time. Most resellers sell their timeshares between 30%-50% of its original price.

Some believe that timeshares are easy to trade which in reality is not. Even if there is such a thing as timeshare exchange program, it doesn’t guarantee that you get your preferred unit. Or you may end up with a unit that you would not enjoy.

Disney, Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton have a uniform standard with their timeshares. If you chose to buy a unit directly from the companies mentioned, the cost may reach up to 60% more than what you purchase from the resale market. It is because the payment includes the company’s marketing costs which includes a 3-day free timeshare experience, vacation activities, and meals for potential buyers.
Consumers must be very careful on companies that force you to sign a contract. Refuse and avoid the “Buy-it-NOW-one-time-only-offers!!!” as this is one of the hard-sell tactics.

If you happen to have that timeshare and you want to dispatch it because for some reason you don’t like it anymore. Call Transfer Smart. Transfer Smart offers timeshare clients a reliable way of getting rid of timeshares forever.

An Escape From Timeshare Units

Buying a vacation home was once a good way to spend a wonderful vacation with the family. With timeshares, it not only offers you the first class facilities, amenities, and services but also allows you to save more than staying in an ordinary vacation package.

But when recession hit the world economy, finances were hard to manage. Goods and commodities’ prices kept increasing as well as the services rates. Companies have run out of gains and received a big chunk of losses. In effect, jobs were cut down, thus making it more difficult for an individual to survive.

And with this, an ordinary citizen needs to cut down his expenses too. The tables have been turned due to economic recession. Not so long ago, you can still afford to pay the annual maintenance fees. But now, it has been very difficult to pay it up to date. You tried selling it, yet you feel it doesn’t make sense. Someone offers it at a very low price—a very insulting price in exchange of the timeshare you well loved.

But I’m sure it did cross your mind to just abandon it. Anyway, you are not using it anymore. With this, I can say, you’re wrong. Once you neglect your responsibilities, you might be charged more. The timeshare company might hand the case to the court and sue you. That’s another additional fees and penalties. And if you still refuse to pay then you might end up in jail.
So, why do you think timeshare companies wouldn’t want you to get out of your timeshares when in fact you don’t use it anymore?

If companies will just allow people to escape from their financial responsibilities, then there would be more vacant timeshares. And this will be a burden on the part of the company. In short, no company would want you to just evaporate without settling your fees. As long as you are tied up with it for whatever valid reasons you have, then there’s no way you can escape from it.

My advice is to go back to your timeshare company and negotiate it with them. Tell them that you no longer can sustain the finances and that you are not using it anymore. Be ready for some cash settlements. Or you can auction your unit in eBay, Craigslist, etc.

Timeshare Relief Vermont

I am way above a minimum-wage earner. That is one of the reasons why I bought a timeshare in Vermont where I could enjoy skiing and snowboarding. And sometimes, I get to enjoy cycling around its cities where I shop for some stuff I could bring back home. It was one of the most wonderful experiences I had in Vermont. But not when the global recession started in 2008.
I asked myself? What should I be afraid of? I still can afford my timeshare maintenance fees. But then, goods and services were escalating. Month after month it became hard for me to budget my dough. So, I had to take some other business to compensate for my needs—like my timeshare.

Since when did a timeshare consider a need? Here it goes. So, the problem is your timeshare. And it’s making it hard for you both financially and emotionally. The timeshare organization has decided to increase timeshare’s maintenance fees. Maintenance fees are compulsory fees that are paid annually for the maintenance of your unit. Even if you are away for work, your vacation place will always be in good conditioned. You will not have to worry about water, electric and utility bills such as phone, cable, and the likes. But you just can’t get away with it. You have signed on a timeshare contract that you thought was a need. Then you’ll eventually feel that there’s no turning back.

Or maybe you can sell your timeshare Vermont. But here you are again faced with the dilemma that there’s no market who considers it as a need. Timeshare has no value at all. It’s not an investment. So why on earth would they buy it? There are only a few noted cases wherein a timeshare was successfully sold in a short span of time. But that short of time was not that short anyway.

Good thing there is Timeshare Relief Vermont. It was founded by Cindy Martin and David Macmillan who were also victims of timeshare promises. The said organization helps timeshare owners to get out of their unwanted timeshares. The organization values good relationship with the customers and the proper execution of all timeshare transfers made its way to be ranked no.318 in The Inc. 500. In a span of 5 years, it they were able to help many timeshare owners.

Despite all the timeshare problems that you have encountered, thank God, there is Timeshare Relief.

Regulations that can Boost Timeshare Sales

Nassau Guardian recently published a write up on how to improve the regulations in Timeshare Bahamas and Caribbean that should help in boosting the sales of timeshare in the region. There seems to be a potential for high bulk of sales for timeshare since the Caribbean is just close in the US.

David Gilbert, the Interval International Executive Vice President of Resort Sakes and Marketing said in an interview that the one thing that the companies who are in the business for a very long time will be investing or have invested interest in the industry. In return they would like to see some results and progress in their developed projects which has a positive regulatory environment that the people believe in and respect. He also added that their company as well as other companies would like to see laws in a place where consumers are protected and it can be a very good step for the Caribbean countries to carry out a constructive and statute law that can not restrict the developers in building their establishment but instead, it would protect the avid and future consumers as well.

Mr. Gilbert also mentioned that the larger players in the timeshare industry, for one, look for a good regulatory environment since they don’t want to develop and put up a project next door that might eventually go bankrupt or close down which would result in losing all the money of the consumers. This kind of negative publicity, he added, is going to strike their project, so new comers which are interested in the industry are really looking for a place or an area that has put up standard laws so that their projects will be guarded as well as their future consumers.

This kind of idea is both beneficial for the consumers and developers since they believe that the people that have confidence in the system will good for the business. This way, the consumers will feel that their long term vacation accommodations are safely guarded. In addition, the developers would also be saved against some financial failure because without these regularizations, the worst situation would come out and negative publicity would arise which might result for a timeshare project in the area to become financially unworkable.

Taking precautions in putting up a business in the timeshare industry is a big must since a lot of people might get affected if something unfortunate comes up. A lot of timeshare businesses have already experienced major loss in their company due to the economic turndown and these regulations that timeshare is planning to have will probably help gain the consumer’s trust back and once again patronize the industry.

Asking Questions Concerning a Timeshare Sale

Multi-ownership, space share, vacation ownership or vacation ownership are synonymous names for a timeshare.

When buying any real estate, asking important questions is relevant by knowing understanding the whole process involved in the purchase and getting as much information as possible.

First, you should know what type of timeshare agreement you're getting yourself into. One of these agreements is called "fixed weeks" where one can use and enjoy the property during a specific amount of time during the year. This is also the most often deeded ownerships. Another one is called "condo hotels" where rental profits are offered as well as the enjoyment days for the buyer of the timeshare. "Fractional ownership" refers to the type of agreement which lasts between five to 26 weeks.

Next, you should also know what you are paying for when you are buying a timeshare because this is your place for a vacation that you can use for a specific amount of time per year and days or weeks to use. This includes the maintenance on the property and the one-time purchasing fees, and some would include other vacation bonuses such as food, airfair and car rentals.

Now, determine how much your timeshare is worth since resale values on timeshares are not high. Researching the type of protection the buyer has where the timeshare is purchased and getting from the seller a plan that describes the specifics of the timeshare plan is very important. Before making the final purchase, research also on the company you are purchasing from. Also, keep in mind that timeshares are not to be purchased with the idea that it will make a high profit.

After that, you should know other costs that you are responsible for. As a timeshare owner, you are obligated to pay for the fees for maintenance and upkeep on the timeshare aside from the cost of the timeshare building.

Lastly, know what the due diligence period is. You are always free to terminate the contract if you feel that you no longer want to purchase.

St. Frances Timeshare Fraud

Barclays and GE Money were sued by a group of 300 people due to an alleged fraudulent timeshare investment scheme that costs £6 million of loans that they refused to cancel.

The money the group members borrowed were between £10,000 and £20,000 each to invest on timeshare points that they were promised they could exchange to luxury holidays on all the different places around the world. The timeshare investor responsible for this fraudulent scheme, which has since gone bust, that left about 2,500 people with promises and sizeable debts, is the St. Frances Marketing formally known as Easysave Finance Ltd.

St. Frances Marketing had made the sophisticated scheme that allowed customers to obtain loans from Barclay and GE Money during the sign-up process. St. Frances has been now placed in liquidation by the Trading Standards and other five former staff because of trading standards offenses and the two banks insisted on timeshare investors to pay their debts in full. The lawsuit that is filed in the High Court in London suggests that banks should cancel the loans made by the group members because it was taken out in concurrence with a fraudulent scheme. The group claims that the two banks acted as agents for St. Frances and should reimburse them as well as cancel the loans.

On a statement made by Barclays, they said that they are aware of the proceedings and will prove false of the claims of the group. GE Money also said that they will defend its position on the said lawsuit. The group demanded that the two banks should not give them negative credit ratings to other banks.

According to the scheme that St. Frances is offering, clients have the chance to travel to all the luxury resorts in the world by buying timeshare points. These include the places like Australia, Dominican Republic and other Mediterranean hotspots. The company guaranteed their buyers that they will buy back unused points and that the scheme is risk-free.

In a case study that was conducted, Sarah Barnes discovered St. Frances Marketing when she received a phone call from the company stating that she had won a holiday package. They were then introduced to a timeshare scheme that gave them luxury holidays and bought 60 timeshare points that costs £10,495. They signed a credit agreement with GE Money but as time passed by they had realized that they were duped. The interest was never paid and it amounted to about £14,000.

The timesharing system gained much popularity when it started out in the French Alps almost 50 years ago. However, because some of the timeshare owners are seeking for timeshare relief, the industry’s image is now tainted. But in the Emirates, timeshare is gaining popularity because of the financial crunch.

In the Emirates, people are finding the timesharing system beneficial. Timeshare companies are these countries are gaining clients because it provides luxury – lovers the opportunity to go on enjoying a luxurious lifestyle even during the financial crisis.

The deputy general manager of Arabian Falcon, Wael Hussein Amer, recognized that the people in the Emirates are attracted to timeshares because of the cost- sharing it provides the people. It enables luxurious goods buyers to enjoy luxury items at a fraction of the cost of these properties. These people get to share the costs and still enjoy the properties at times that they would want to do so, which usually lasts for a week.

It is an opportune time for timeshare companies to further their business in the Emirates. People are considering buying timeshares. These companies are priming up their business by adding up luxury items like private planes and yacht from the timeshare units and resorts they are already maintaining. The 4Yacht Arabia will be offering three to four timeshare yachts in the coming months.

Timeshares are actually beneficial. Prospective buyers in these countries will surely benefit from it. However, they may later on see the negative side of timesharing and end up getting rid of their timeshares.

Timeshare Relief Come in Write Downs for Timeshare Companies

A number of timeshare companies already announced the write downs on their timeshare engagement. This is mainly because of the financial crisis that the whole world experienced this past months. Timeshare owners seeking for timeshare relief may not even be a big factor to this dilemma. So without much improvement in the economy, these write downs will continue to occur for the relief of the industry.

For one, the decision of the Marriott International, Inc. around five months ago to write down $760 million was a big surprise to the industry. And just days before, the Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc also announced a write down. They did so in time of their announcement of the fourth quarter earnings. It amounted to $362 million, including the amount of the raw land that they planned to use for timeshare complexes. The plan will be discontinued as well as other timeshare constructions that were in the pipeline.

Such decrease in development in the timeshare industry will cause some problem to the industry. There will be a decrease in new timeshares to offer and other timeshares may remain underdeveloped. This may not concern other timeshare companies but as long as the economy behaves this way, the timeshare industry will have to wait for its recovery.

Timeshare owners who are getting rid of their timeshares can then say that their decision is truly rational. Timeshare companies are even trying to support their operations through these write downs because of the financial crisis. So all the more should these timeshare owners make the same decision.

Timeshare Industry Requires Relief from the Recession

The recession affected all industries including timeshare. Timeshare industry then faced not only their problem with timeshare owners seeking for timeshare relief but also the decline of sales of the timeshare companies.

The accommodation industry suffered much because of the recession. A number of vacationers cancelled their vacation because they are pressed financially and going on a vacation was a luxury. Other vacationers opted to vacation on shorter period so they can save on their expenses. These decisions made hotels, fractional ownerships and timeshares lose some sales.

Timeshare was all the more affected when the financial institutions released more stringent criteria for financing approvals. Some timeshare prospective buyers found it difficult to get personal financing preventing them from purchasing a timeshare.

These difficulties became an industry – wide problem resulting to a decrease in sales. Because of the decrease in profitability, some timeshare companies had to close down other sales offices. Some also dismissed other employees to be able to decrease their operational expenses. The freebies that they used to offer were also removed. Those efforts are aside from the basic operational savings that they had to do.

The recession caused this much difficulty for the timeshare industry. Without their efforts to save on expenses, they will surely be forced to close down their whole companies. Timeshare owners, on the other hand, especially those who want to get rid of their timeshares will continue to increase in number. Only the freedom from recession will revive the whole industry as the case continues to worsen.

South Africa will be receiving tourists and so timeshares can be marketed for their use.

Timeshare owners should prime up their marketing strategies to be able to get rid of their timeshares in locations of big events like the World Cup. Reselling timeshares or renting them out is very possible with the increase of demands.

Sharing of Maintenance Fees is Relief Solely for the Timeshare Company

Timeshare owners who are seeking for timeshare relief may not be aware but their decision to get rid of their packages affects not only the timeshare companies but also the rest of the timeshare owners. Not much is known about this matter but it is a good thing to be heard by timeshare owners.

Timeshare owners who are trying to be free from their timeshare contracts are doing so because of the responsibilities associated with their timeshares. Aside from the acquisition fee that owners pay for their timeshares, they are also regularly billed for the maintenance of the units as well as other special assessments that timeshare companies deem necessary for them to pay. And these charges continue to increase.

This financial burden makes these owners decide to get rid of their timeshares. However, this move will not only endanger the timeshare company but also the rest of the owners who will continue on keeping their timeshares. The maintenance fees that they will be leaving behind will now have to be handled by those keeping their packages.

The owners association will have to divide the amount to all owners to be able to continue on with the upkeep of the units. If the necessary payments will not be collected, the daily operations of the timeshare resort will be affected. If the operation of the resort will not be maintained and more owners will be dissatisfied with the service of the resort, they might end up getting rid of their timeshares themselves and the cycle will continue.

This is not to discourage you from getting rid of the package it’s just that other owners should know about this as well.

Timeshare Brings Vacation Goers to Croatia for Relief

A research group working for Travel Weekly found out that UK and Europe are the vacation locations mostly favored for the year 2010. Timeshare owners seeking for timeshare relief may perhaps draw on to that information to get rid of their timeshares. However, the responses from various vacation goers are not yet precise and may still vary.

More people are likely to travel Croatia among other countries in Europe and UK as it offers variety of views and activities. And since the country is composed of 1,000 islands, vacation goers have a great chance hoping to more than one island during their travel. They will surely enjoy the trip because each island has their own offering of unique vacation landscape to brag of.

Croatia can be one of the best timeshare locations for vacation this 2010. If you are a timeshare owner with property located in the country, you have all the reason to fully enjoy the benefits of your stay. You have all the time to explore different islands if you prefer not to stay to only one place, depending on your capability to spend all throughout your vacation.

As a vacation package owner, you have the freedom to rent out your timeshare to those who are looking for vacation rentals if ever you are not available for that package this year. You will be able to earn money and may use it to pay for a portion of the year’s bill. The amount may not be sufficient but at least you can get something from that unused package without totally getting rid of the timeshare.

What Approach Suits You Best to Obtain Timeshare Relief?

A year may have its own ending but obtaining timeshare relief still never finds its way to the end. Timeshare owners have different reasons why they want to get rid of their timeshares and they also have different options to obtain relief from their timeshares.

Various approaches were tried by timeshare owners who want to be free of the contract that timeshare brought them. However, whatever scheme they might have applied, the result remains almost the same – they are still bound to it.

This might be possible that the strategy they have chosen in finding timeshare relief is not the one that suits best to their necessity.

Try to evaluate which among these means can probably get your way off your already unwanted timeshare.

1. Sell your timeshare – though it is a very common strategy it is also the hardest action to carry out. This involves a lot of competition, not only with other vacation options but also with other timeshare owners. Not only vacation goers do the reselling of their vacation packages, but as well as timeshare companies themselves. However, trying this plan could also work out.

2. Rent your timeshare - if you want to earn from your timeshare and plan to use it in the future, you can always count on this approach. It may involve much competition but you can get the assurance that you’ll benefit from it without totally losing ownership of the property.

3. Donating a timeshare – there are some charitable organizations that will appreciate the act and may receive the offer. But some may also refuse it, though you have the intention to help, still it doesn’t work most of the time.

4. Giving the vacation package as a gift – your friends or relatives will absolutely appreciate it. Those who are willing and are capable of maintaining a timeshare will love to receive it as a gift.

5. Hiring a timeshare title transfer company – acquiring assistance from a reliable company can really be a great help to obtain timeshare relief. They have the service that can address your burden and can immediately free you from your timeshare contract.
