Best way to get out of a Timeshare?

ThrowawayInTheYear23@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 98 points –

My mom got roped into buying a Wyndham timeshare on a trip and procrastinated herself out of the grace period. Is there anything she can do to get out of it now?

Sell it for $0.01 or die with no heirs.

Great episode with John Oliver about this. My in-laws paid $1500 to sell it to someone else.

I regularly show this episode when anyone I know starts talking about timeshares. He does really good write ups and I highly suggest everyone watch this one, even if you already are on the Timeshare hate train, it’s a good watch.

Damn. It made a new industry of exiting timeshares but those were also a scam. That's brutal. Imagine getting duped twice.

I feel like you might get away with creating a corporation, selling it to that for 1 cent, then stop paying dues. Might give some protection? Idk
