  1. I've just heard from the timeshare company and they have sent me a screenshot and a copy of the quit claim deed - I NO LONGER OWN THE TIMESHARE - woooo - so happy - I just asked them to take it back
  2. Hi - just to update this and it may help other people in the same predicament - I emailed the resort and appealed to their better nature. They emailed back and advised that they are willing to take this back for a fee of $150 - which are the legal fees - they are emailing the legal docs over on Monday - so very very relieved and happy. So before you go paying exorbitant fees to these so called legal eagles ie EZE lawyers try writing to the resort first. I even contacted the so called Timeshare helpline in London - beware of these as they book you in with EZE lawyers and can cost a fortune - they wanted an upfront "deposit" of £150 to make an appointment - they are suppose to be independent - but when you google them they are linked. So just beware. Anyone thinking of buying a timeshare - please don't - there are so many scare stories out there -,I know I have had a lucky escape. Hope this is of some help to anyone. Thank you
  3. Thank you for your help - the contract is very complicated and has pages and pages a full book it say we cannot terminate and if we managed to sell it they (Star Islsnd) would have to agree who bought it - I would willingly give it back and pay the transfer of deed fee - they could either rent or sell it. Thank you again
  4. Hi hope someone can point me in the right direction - This huge problem is praying on my mind constantly. Normally I champion my own problems - but this one is bigger and badder than me. Well I will start at the beginning and not make it too boring for you; in 2005 my husband and I and own then 17 year old Son went to Florida, for my Sons 18th birthday and we got sucked into the timeshare talk, with false promises of being able to rent it off and sell getaways with Interval International, only £7,000 - so we signed and I had my doubts. Should have listened to my inner sense. But hey, lots do it, so it can't be that bad, can it? What we hadn't realised, we had signed up for life and beyond! So, I am told my Son and his decendents will be forced to take this noose around their necks too. I have contacted the company - Star Island in Florida to ask them to take it back - I don't even want paying for it. We paid the £7000 and every two years pay about £600 maintainance (which is OK) - we have got our use from it as we use Interval International to trade it in. Star Island won't just let me give it back. I have contacted The Time Share association in the UK who tell me just to send the deeds back, recorded delivery and ignore the threats and letters they send. I am a sensible person and have never been in trouble and always pay my way. I am so worried that with this company been in the U.S. they can cause all sorts of problems for my family. My Son is now 28 with his own family and I am so so freightened for the future - Inneed help the correct advice as to how to take this mill stone from round our necks. I cannot be the only person who is worried about this. As my husband says - just our signatures under pressure cannot ruin the lives of so many people. There has to be a way out. If at all possible, please help, if not, please point me in the best direction, to get my love back on track. I am in my late 50's now and would need to sort this before I burden anyone one else with this stupid mistake. I could put a clause in my Will which says not to pass it on, but I'm told these companies just take any monies owing from the Estate. How can I Rest in Peace knowing this. Thank you
