Wyndham Vacation Resorts Fairflield Resorts I desperately want to get rid of! Orlando, Florida

I am the owner of 1 million Wyndham Timeshare points.  They are selling the option of "guaranteeing" a repurchase of all your ownership at 20% of what you originally paid for them. This option is being offerd at the "owner update meetings". It is a strange investment that is worth Zero or 20%  shortly after it is purchased.    Also, they sell to people that cannot afford the commitment. I just met a lady who had invested $290,000 in 2 million annual points. The annual fee to keep current on that is about $10,000 per year. She is a retired school teacher and is mid 80s. Her children do not have the financial means to keep travel or aford to keep up the ownership as she ages further. She recently spent additional $ to get the "guarantee" of 20% back when she sells the ownership. This option is called "Parhways".

Wyndham timeshare presentations are hardcore and very long-lasting, people are usually pressured and bullied into buying a timeshare. The company has been sued in federal court several times by many wyndham timeshare owners for committing wrongs in their vacation credits, such as breach of contract, violation of California’s Timeshare Act and breach of fiduciary duty, among others. Another common complaint is that maintenance and assessment fees increase very constantly; to the point lots of timeshare owners are no longer able to keep paying them. Many of them decide to stop paying, which is a huge mistake, being that their debt is taken to a collection agency and it ends up affecting their credit score very badly.

 #1 - Stop Paying.  It will likely ding your credit, but there's not much else they can do. It might get shown as a repossession on a credit report.  Still, that is better than perpetual maintenance fees. 

#2 - Prepare a Cease & Desist letter to stop collection calls.  This will stop any hired collection agencies from calling you.  Make sure that you include notification that you will record any calls that you receive, and follow up on that.

#3 - Prepare a letter to the TS co. refusing to pay them anything more.  Insert it in their return envelope the next time a statement comes in the mail.

Also, donating to charity is not typically fruitful.  The TS company wants to collect the maintenance fees, which get pretty high.  Charities don't want that burden, either.  Changing the name on the TS deed is not the same as quit claiming a house.

Don't fall for the reseller's tactics.  Most of them are scams as well.  Think about it:  When selling a house, the commission is around 7% in most places.  That includes listing, visits, and accompanying you to the closing.  Timeshares have little more than the listing.  They subject prospects to the same high pressure sales system that the TS company did, and success rate is low.  Their fees are much higher than 7% when considering that TS resells for cents on the dollar.  It would be naive to think that a TS owner will get out of it what is already spent.
