Professional Timeshare Services, LLC....any experience

[ralfo]

Hi all...new to the forum.

I've tried various ways to get rid of my Sheraton Vistana Villages TS as I no longer have use for itand flexibility for travel.

I stumbled upon Professional Timeshare Services, LLC (http://www.professionaltimeshareservices.com/) that uses loopholes and legal action....so they claim to get you out of your contract.

I cant seem to find anything on them on the web. Are these guys credible? Initial research shows me that they are using an address out of a UPS store in AZ.

Are there similar credible companies out there to help exit a timeshare?

regards

If there were reliable ways to legally challenge the original sale beyond the rescind period you can be certain that more than one company would be all over it. There isn't and any money you give them to try can be kissed goodbye forever.

As for selling you may not be able to. The best that many can do now with far too many resorts, especially those with high fees, too much inventory and especially lingering special assessments, is to offer to practically give it away for the cost of the closing. In some cases you may even need to sweeten it and offer to pay some of those as well.

As you realize now the true cost of a timeshare are the ongoing fees. The illusion of a "prepaid vacation for life" was struck a fatal blow the fist time you got that annual billing which has most likely gone up every single year since. Hopefully you got your value out in use / trade over the years and now you just need to pass along the right to pay the fees and get the use to a new owner. Don't worry about getting much if anything back from your purchase cost and concentrate on finding a willing taker for your deeded rights and obligations. There are a number of areas to do that starting right here on TUG. Good luck and don't waste your time/money with that group or any other that wants money from you upfront.

I would not pay a cent to one of these companies, until I tried to give it away myself, for a fraction of the cost:

There are two places on TUG where you can give away your TS's for free (no charge for the Ads.)

TUG Marketplace - the only cost is your TUG membership - $15 (List it for $1 and it will automatically go in the Bargain Basement Ads.)

Bargain Deals - just write a simple post with all the pertinent info. - COMPLETELY FREE!

To make it more attractive I would:

1) Pay 2010 maintenance fees

2) Pay for the title transfer (you can get a simple professional transfer for about $75 + resort fee)
I've used this company and the owner is a Tugger. *Please note that this is my personal recommendation, and does not represent TUG.

3) Reserve a popular holiday week in 2010 for the new owner

Good luck!

You should be able to find a buyer for this timeshare. The key is pricing it correctly and not paying upfront fees to marketing companies that will do nothing once they have your $$. If you still owe any money you will need to pay if off first.

I used to own at this resort so I would be happy to help you out if you would like. You cannot post the details of your ownership here because it violates TUG's rules, but feel free to send me a PM.

:annoyed: Be Very Very Very careful. This looks to be just 1 of many new sites created by The Owners Advocate Founder David Humphrey.

It's also said that David Humphrey is also operating under the name TC Professionals aka Timeshare cancel!

gwilliams, do you charge an upfront fee and if so, how much?

 

[MikeMarriott]

G. Williams..........If I hire your company and my timeshare then goes into forclosure because you had me stop paying the resort........are you then going to say that is getting me out of my contract. This is exactly how you and your scam outfits are operating and it will catch up with you!
