My 85 year old widowed mother is trying to unload her 3 bedroom, week 5 Southwind Villa timeshare. I called Spinniker to inquire about a deed buyback and was told that they have an exit program for qualified individuals. To get information, my mother would need to call or write. I prepared an information request letter for her signature and mailed to the address they provided. Today my mother received a phone call from Spinniker. Based on age, she qualifies for the exit program. The Spinniker representative indicated that she needs to send $1500 and they will process a a quick deed form (??) for her completion. She will also eventually get billed for legal fees in the amount of about $120.
I am hesitant to advise her to send a check or provide credit card information based on this limited information. Has anyone heard of, or participated in, such an exit program? Does anyone have any suggestions on protecting the financial payment to ensure we have some legal recourse if all is not what it seems.
