Timeshare Ownership has consistently been known for three things: beautiful properties, incredible destinations and FRIGHTENING sales practices. Nevertheless, the reason for owning a timeshare has never changed – people simply want to spend quality time with their family and friends. Unfortunately, after being deceived by their developer, the majority of timeshare and vacation ownership owners have forgotten why they purchased a timeshare in the first place. They find themselves scratching their heads trying to figure out how they wound up deep in debt and angry over the process that landed them there.

There is a lot of misinformation flying around about timeshare ownership that can get you into a lot of financial trouble if you believe it. Most of it comes from timeshare salespeople overstating the truth that get repeated when people explain why they purchased a timeshare. But just because something has been repeated many times doesn’t make it the truth. The following timeshare myths may help you avoid running into timeshare trouble in the future. Consider each one carefully before putting your hard earned money down to purchase a vacation property

I had a similar experience with Blue Green...a high pressure situation ending in a timeshare I did not want and could not afford. I could get nowhere when I tried to deal with them on my own. The constant run around with a company where it seems employees are all temporary. I enlisted the help of an consumer advocacy organization called The Owners Advocate and they got me out of the contract. Be careful they will hit your credit. Get out of that contract ASAP!

I understand your frustration. I used to work in the contract office at Bluegreen until I was laid off. If you are able to actually able to speak to anyone at Bluegreen, they will tell you the following: You could have left at any time during the presentation. You would have been given your promised gifts whether you purchased or not if you completed your 90 minute obligation. The maintenance fee is disclosed on the purchase proposal that you filled out before you went to the contract office to sign the rest of your paperwork. On the second page of the Owner Beneficiary Agreement it stated in big bold letters that you have 10 days to mail a cancel letter to the corporate office. They will refer you to the mortgage department to see if they can set up a payment plan.
