Has anyone used this organization for selling a timeshare? Comments please.
There are timeshares that won't sell at any price and Timeshare Relief and its clones may be the answer for those who want out. It's a fee for a service.
Which service was helpful ?I am a Newbie and found the service very helpful.
It is unlikely that there is anyone here who has used them. The people who may have used them are people who want to get rid of their TS so badly that they pay a stranger $3000-$4000 with no assurance that that stranger will do anything. Anyone willing to do that doesn't hang around a site which main purpose is to talk about their TSs.Has anyone actually used them? What is your experience with them?
Thanks.
I'll see if I can find the thread, BUT YES!! there are reports of the PCC taking the money and not ever transferring the TS into either their own hands or the hands of a new owner. They just took the money from a bunch of people then declared bankruptcy and all the people who paid them were out of luck.does anybody have personal(not anecdotal) knowledge of Timeshare Relief or others having taken the money and not taking ownership of the TS?

TR-Timeshare relief is the Best of the Bunch, been in business longer than most though that is not a guarantee that they couldn't go bankrupt in these troubled times. This company has come a long way in the last few years, toned down their sales presentation quite a bit, and they do what they say they'll do. Ask for Sam.I'll see if I can find the thread, BUT YES!! there are reports of the PCC taking the money and not ever transferring the TS into either their own hands or the hands of a new owner.

I had one timeshare that I couldn't sell after multiple attempts and I did a Quitclaim Deed back to the resort. They took the deed and turned it over to a collection agency which reported it to the credit bureau.
In NO CASE should you give up $3000+/- to anyone unless they are taking the title - thus all future fee obligations - off your hands. ...
Beware and don't take hollow promises. Don't pay to "maybe" be done with your timeshare.
That's exactly what they do - take title off you and relieve you of all future obligations - that's the only reason it's worth it.
I don't know about others, and I'm pretty angry about buying my timeshare, but I was guaranteed that they would take title, and they did. I talked with a reputable closing company which I checked out (BBB A+ rated) immediately. The paperwork wasn't we'll maybe sell your timeshare, or we'll put ads out there for you, etc. etc. etc
I know some of you probably think I'm an idiot, but I tried listing my timeshare on eBay, I tried to use my timeshare, but just couldn't and with what I would be paying in January 2010 on my maintenance fee I'm here looking how to "rent" someone else's timeshare. I listed it on craigslist for $1,000, $100, and then finally $10...no one offered to buy it at all. The only responses to my ads were people trying to charge me $500+ to sell it for me.
In my opinion it is the best of a lot of evil options that you have when you want to get rid of your timeshare and can't even get anybody to take it.
Why couldn't you use your timeshare? What stopped you? Don't you get any vacation? Do you vacation in a different place than your timeshare is located? You could have exchanged your week. Even the lowest timeshare in RCI can see 80K+ weeks available for exchange.
