Who’s There For Timeshare Owners? Almost No One

It seems that there’s a new self-appointed ‘advocate’ for timeshare owners nearly every week. 

That’s right...nearly every week, some new organization pops up on social media either claiming to help timeshare owners, advocate for change, protect timeshare owners, yadda, yadda, yadda. 

Some of these don’t fall into the dangerous category, meaning they just spout a lot of hot air. However, many of these organizations/companies/individuals are dangerous. Dangerous because they’re raising money from hapless owners under some promise of lobbying for change. Others are dangerous because they’re nothing more than fronts promising an easy or quick ‘exit’ from your timeshare. 

I’ve yet to see any industry that has spun off so many of these organizations. It’s clear that the timeshare owner and the prospective timeshare owner do need help, do need a true advocate and do need someone on their side. 

Sadly, those advocates are few and far between. You’ve been warned. Choose wisely.

You Have The Power...Use It

Saw this on another page...I’ve redacted the name of the developer:

“Is there ever going to be a lawsuit against XXX here in the United States or do we need to get our Congress people involved?”

While I certainly understand consumers’ anger and frustration, these rants accomplish nothing. What exactly would the lawsuit be about?  What laws do you feel have been broken?

The ultimate power has always been with the consumer. Stop taking the bribes. Stop going to the sales pitches. Stop buying when you don’t have an inkling of what you’re buying or how it works.
