Was interviewed for this story, pretty happy with the message it provides for anyone looking to get out of their timeshare!

There are scores, if not hundreds, of posts on TUG dealing with this very question.

"You cannot hire anyone to do anything you can't do yourself. That's just the bottom line out there," Rogers said. "Every company out there exploits one of these three options that are available to every single owner." AWESOME
There was another article, I suspect the investigation from it prompted this one: https://6abc.com/post/south-jersey-...omplaints-action-news-investigation/19625269/

I have not had a timeshare since 2020, but I am still on some lists someplace. I got an interesting color brochure last week. What was interesting to me was that it did not name the organization. At all. They wanted you to come and dine at Red Lobster and listen to a presentation but wouldn't tell you who they were.

Trying to prevent the recipient from Googling their name? Or trying to print something that could be re-used with different Viking ships?

this is becoming more common, the entities sending the letters and answering the phone are simply like resort concierge desks in validating and verifying your info before passing it on to an exit company. they appear to simply just get paid for qualified leads/bodies they pass on to exit/cancellation scammers.
