Good to know!
We have had companies reach out to us stating they are able to help us get out of Bluegreen because of lies and deceptions told to us when we bought more points. We have a loan currently, and they are aware of this and yet still claiming to be able to help us.
They are liars, they just want your upfront money and will do nothing.

If you can find a way to pay off the loan you can sell it for $1 and at least it will take away the never ending payments.

That's just it, we don't want the debt of the loan either. I guess maybe the only option is to look into refinancing with a lower interest rate.

WHO would refinance a loan on an asset that has a value of one dollar?

That said, your best bet may be to take a 2nd mortgage on your home. The savings wouldn't be great, but it would be something and you can pay off the Timeshare loan.

Welcome to TUG and best of luck!

Thought I would share my experience with exiting Bluegreen timeshare to help anyone else who might be exploring this option. We purchased this timeshare 3 years ago, and almost immediately regretted it. Only used it one time and with the annual fees plus the restrictions on places due to number of points we had, it just seemed like a huge waste of money. We began seeking out information on how to get out of it, sell it, stop paying dues and maintenance fees, possibility of getting involved with a company that we could pay to get us out of it, etc...
Ultimately we found the best solution right here on this website and it was so simple and didn't take much time at all!
On November 28, 2023, I called 1-844-757-6932 which is the number listed on the Bluegreen website for the responsible exit program. The woman who answered was so helpful and very kind. She told me what we would owe to exit, which ended up being 18 months worth of maintenance fees. We agreed and paid right there with her on the phone. She told us to expect documents to sign via email within a couple of weeks. Took maybe a week to receive them. We signed electronically and sent them back. We received confirmation with the documents all signed and sealed via email 3 days later. I called back yesterday to confirm we are finished and "exited" from the timeshare and she assured me the process is complete and we are officially removed with no more obligations.
Looking back on it all, I wish we had not bought it in the first place - lesson learned, but the experience of exiting out of it was surprisingly a very positive one. We had talked to a company that offered to do it for us and didn't feel it was legit and would cost more money and trouble than anything. We talked to a couple that said they stopped paying their fees and dues, but we didn't want to take a hit to our credit and didn't want to deal with collection agencies. So in the end, we are glad we went straight to Bluegreen for the responsible exit program.

I am currently helping my mom with this process. My father passed in March and she no longer travels. They have been trying to get out of it for years, however. Talked with Blue Green about the responsible exit and they were very nice but I am just wary about paying $3000 before they send documents to sign.
Can you tell what the documents you signed entailed? I wish I could read them before paying them the money.

Good idea to post a separate thread
