Hello all,I'm new to all this so please excuse any stupid questions I may have.
My mother purchased 2 weeks at Vistana resort many years ago. She hardly used it and can no longer do so due to ill health.
My mother wants to get rid of the timeshare but I don't want the burden of the annual maintenance and rarely go on holiday myself. She realises that she won't get anything for it despite paying over $15,000 for it initially so we asked Vistana to take it back. Their response was give it to a relative or gift it to a charity! Having searched online it seems charities won't accept them,or if they will they want a hefty donation with it and no relative wants to be burdened with the annual maintenance fees.
My mother is at her wits end with worry now is constantly being approached by scammers offering to buy it for $xxx in upfront fees.I am worried she will pay one of these companies in desperation.
Has anyone managed to give theirs back? What happens if she just refuses to pay the fees? Are there any genuine companies out there we can deal with to get rid of these weeks? Any help would be appreciated as I really don't know how to resolve thins.Thanks!
