Getting Rid of a Westgate Timeshare

First, let me thank all of those who have been so helpful in posting information on this site.

I HAD a timeshare at Westgate Vacation Villas. It was a 1 bedroom. My daughter and I no longer could afford it so I started the resale process. After several calls to Westgate and speaking with everyone there, I found a person who was willing to present our offer of turning over the interval to Westgate for nothing as we were ready to use your site to give it away. Now this took nearly a year but as of June 2 Westgate is now the proud owner of the interval at NO cost to us. At the beginning of this time consuming process all fees were current.

I do not know if other developers are as helpful but Westgate Vacation Villas were actively selling intervals so this in fact just got returned to their inventory. All I can suggest is persistence in contacting the company and throwing yourself on their mercy.

Good Luck!!!
 
Hi, your post is very encouraging! We have a Westgate timeshare that we can’t afford - Park City- any more due to divorce and I’d love to give it freely. Did you contact your specific resort to buy back? I called their buy back program- Legacy and they said they have the right of first refusal

rofr would have no impact on your surrender of the ownership.
 
Why does my Kona coast resort free listing show up under Hawaii Kona COAST 11 and doesn’t show up under free time shares in this catagory
 
Are you asking about the TUG Marketplace?
