THE TIMESHARE INDUSTRY – A STUDY IN DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES

I. The Culture of the Timeshare Industry           In a perfect, Platonian realm, the archetypical timeshare is not a bad thing. Not by a long shot. For example, you can vacation there only as often as you want. You share the cost of it with others, so it’s surely less expensive to maintain than say, a condo that you own outright.

Timeshares-Target-Elderly-and-Disabled

Learn how Timeshare Sales Target Elderly and Disabled Of the many abuses of unscrupulous timeshare companies, preying on elderly consumers is one of the most loathsome. We learn of these traumatic circumstances far too often, when clients seek our assistance to cancel their timeshares.

Timeshares defined.  That’s clear advice from none other than the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and unfortunately “The Sunshine State” features plenty of shady timeshare characters with plenty of promises. That is especially true in the burgeoning vacation timeshare resale market. With the devastating real-estate melt down of 2007, many timeshare owners wanted to reduce their financial liabilities and sell their timeshares. Tied into a seemingly perpetual obligation with rising maintenance and exchange fees and little ownership value, sellers found this a...
