It’s all over the news that Marriott is getting rid of the timeshare aspect of their business. The hotel and vacation mogul has decided that the timeshare aspect of their organization will become a standalone business dedicated solely to timeshares.
At Direct Transfers we aren’t surprised that Marriott is trying to cleanse their name of the timeshare industry. The more the truth about timeshares comes out, the more big businesses don’t want their names associated with the lying, robbery, and fraud of the timeshare industry. Read more...

Even to us at Direct Transfers, the appeal of timeshares when they first came out was obvious. A settled vacation for cheap, something to look forward to every single year, an easy vacation plan – what’s not to like? In fact, in theory, it sounds like a great idea. That’s how so many people have been pulled in to timeshare schemes – because theoretically, it’s a great idea. Read more...

Direct Transfers has stated countless times that timeshare companies are frauds. Unfortunately, they continue to go out and prove us right. A recent case inside Virginia shows just how correct we are, and just how dishonest they are.
Timeshare owners are banding together to sue Land’Or Williamsburg, a timeshare company operating on the East Coast. Residents claim that staff from the lowest level to the highest encouraged them to buy in to the timeshare based on a promised water park, called Cascade Cavern. Obviously a timeshare adjacent to a water park is of much higher value and interest, so owners bought. Read more...

Direct Transfers has noticed a rise in special assessment fees, and we’re sure you have, too. Especially if you’re a current timeshare owner, the threat of special assessment fees lingers close over your head. As consumers attempt to navigate the choppy waters of the economy, special assessment fees appear as sharks out of the depths to throw off all sense of stability. Read more...

If there’s anything we can learn from timeshare companies it’s caution. Direct Transfers has been encouraging consumers to escape timeshare nightmares for years, but as the economy gets worse, so do the conditions.
This time last year, stake holders at the Nottingham Village in Catskill were still pondering what to do with their timeshare, considering getting rid of it, selling it, or using it. With buy-in prices of $10,000 and hundreds in maintenance fees, it’s a strain on any family to own a piece of Nottingham Village – but the pristine beauty and enchanted feeling almost made it worth it.

Direct Transfers recognizes that timeshares are going down the hole these days. An entire industry circling the drain, they’re spending more and more time trying to convince consumers to buy in at the last minute than figuring out why they’re losing all their sales.
Take, for example, the pristine Kukui’ula. This development on the south shores of Maui is the perfect spot for a paradise. With some of the most coveted real estate in the world, Kukui’ula should be selling their cottages and vacation homes as quickly as they can make them. Read more...

At Direct Transfers, we’ve noticed that timeshare companies are getting trickier by the day. As customers realize they’re wasting their time and money, they flee the timeshare corruption system. Timeshare companies are left with no option but to raise the cost on the remaining customers, to add special assessment fees, and to make it more difficult for you to get rid of your timeshare.

The problem with the timeshare industry these days is that it’s all smoke and mirrors. Consumers have no way to know whether things are scams or corporations because they all look the same and, sadly, often act the same. As a result, millions of Americans are stuck struggling with timeshares and have no idea where to find relief. Read more...

It’s a well-known fact these days that timeshares a scam. Who isn’t aware of the mass exodus of timeshare owners desperate to get rid of the timeshare strapped to their back? Yet every day more people sign up for timeshares as if maintenance fees and special assessments just don’t exist.
In this turbulent economy, we know it’s not possible that thousands of Americans simply don’t care about what they spend. So we started asking questions. How is it possible that people are still falling for the tricks of timeshare salesmen? Read more...

We all know that timeshare companies insist they’re cost efficient. After all, you pay a one-time fee up front, and then a yearly fee, and you always have a vacation spot secured. If you keep your timeshare, the longer you use it, the less each vacation costs! And sure, special assessments may pop up – but it all evens out, right? Read more...
