- Timeshare maintenance fees and annual fees are too high and increase every year. Besides, the most of time the timeshare companies charge special assessment fees, which are not cheap either.
- Timeshare properties are not flexible; you are subject to many restrictions. In fact, it is very difficult to make a reservation in the timeshare resort.
- Timeshare weeks are very difficult to sell or rent; this is because the timeshare resale market is very poor, and you, can find timeshares listed for sale even for pennies. The same happens with the timeshare rentals.
- Timeshares don’t deliver what the timeshare salesmen promise. Some verbal promises made at the timeshare presentation are not in the timeshare contract.

Is there an answer to getting rid of a timeshare? Mine is paid for but I am still paying maintenance fees. I have never used it. What happens if I just stop paying the fees?
Always beware of someone offering something for nothing. It doesnt mean that you arent intelligent enough to know the difference is just means that these people are very savvy. We engaged in conversation with one of these people even though we knew who they were. It so ridiculous. But we told them right out we were not interested. After a brief visit, probably 15 min, he saw he was getting nowhere and we left. I love engaging these people just to frustrate the hell out of them but I dont make a habit of it. I even told them that in a few short years we would retire to Mexico. I saw very unfortunate people who agreed to talk with these people every morning at breakfast having to listen to the speal they gave them. Believe it or not it was the worse.
Need advice on giving away timeshare? My wife bought one years ago under the name of "Vacation Club", it's paid off but we have never used it and would like to get rid of it. It is in Cozumel.
