Lawyers are attorneys --- NOT magicians...
<snip>...where I think I respectfully disagree with you is the concept that there is no legal help available.. That is, I believe lawyers can help and there are ways out.
I realize and appreciate that "hope springs eternal". I also readily acknowledge that you are entitled to believe whatever you choose to believe.
However, I respectfully submit that your statement above, while admirably optimistic and flattering of the legal profession, is just
wishful thinking.
The indisputable fact is that a valid contract is legally binding and timeshare ownership is indeed just such a contract. No attorney on Planet Earth can somehow magically alter that fact with pixie dust, grandiose proclamations, erudition, argument, advertising, incantations --- or any legal filing(s) of any kind, anywhere. Period, amen.
When you state that "there are ways out", you are correct. When you state that "lawyers can help" however --- well, not so much.
Legitimate "ways out" include sale, gift and transfer to (real) persons, resort acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (a.k.a. "deedback", but only if voluntarily
accepted by a resort). As a last resort (...sorry, no pun was intended there), although I neither recommend nor endorse this last avenue, one can even pay a (non-Viking Ship) outfit to place the ownership into
their legitimate name for subsequent
legitimate sale or other distribution to a
real person (e.g., Donate for a Cause, for which I personally have
no use or regard, but YMMV).
In short, if the Timeshare Exit Team (...ahem) "legal firm" is anything but a (...hefty upfront fee required) LLC Viking Ship operation, I hereby volunteer to eat my New England Patriots ball cap on YouTube. I'll keep the salt and pepper handy, but I certainly don't anticipate ever having to actually use it as a result of losing this bet.
