Just wanted to thank the community here ...

Have been a TS owner getting sucked in all the way back to our Ka'anapli Embassy Suites/Sunterra entry drug 20 years ago (seems a lot longer). The fact that 2 well educated, common sense embracing individuals could get snookered 2, almost 3, more times is mind boggling looking back ... huge kudos to their sales force.

Have entertained the thought of getting rid of it for quite a few years, going back to when we actually almost threw more money down the drain. There was no way in hell, though, I was going to spend another penny outside of what we had, and were, spending to get rid of it. Joined here earlier this year to see if there were ANY avenues that wouldn't require ANY out of pocket cost (we were at least smart enough to realize the TS exit companies were worse than the TS companies themselves).

Bottom line, while I was aware of the just defaulting last resort option, coming here and reading all the feedback about that was really enlightening and really appreciated. While that option is made easier at our stage in life where it would be highly doubtful that we would actually be needing a credit line in the future, it was informative to see that the odds are that it probably wouldn't be affected because our only moneys owed these days are MF ... which leads me to a huge THANK YOU to the members here and I'll probably keep my membership here a while longer just to help out financially.

FWIW though, my hat's off to those who have the time, patience and savvy to make this whole TS work for them.

Don't default on your DVC! I am happy to help you rid of it for free...

No worries there. It's just the HVC-HVGC-HVCG or whatever points we're finally dropping. Kind of weird but I hardly acknowledge DVC as a timeshare, probably because I've had it longer and the ease/value I've had for it is head and shoulders above the other place.
