No one will touch this if money is owed.

Also, because money is owed it is really not free.

Your best bet is to either use it or pay it off and then consider giving it away.

Best of luck!

And Westgate has serious restrictions for resale buyers. Westgate has purposely destroyed the resale market trying to protect their direct sales. As @TheTimeTraveler stated, if you have a mortgage then you are stuck with it. Sorry to inform you that you really only have three options:

1. Learn how to use it and take vacations.
2. Pay off the mortgage and give it away, which will be very difficult OR pay it off and request a deedback back to Westgate. If they do it, they will charge $1500+ to do so.
3. Stop paying and let them foreclose.

Sorry, this probably wasn’t what you were hoping for.
 
There is a Facebook group called Westgate Timeshare Hostages out there that you could join. Though the advice is much the same as @RX8 provided. Those are the options available.
