Timeshare Tricks

October 3, 2011

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.

They also make it more tempting to buy in to their company. What started as a week at a resort of your choice has now turned into points you can exchange for cars and boats, floating vacations around the world – anything to get you interested in their scam. It didn’t matter that the promises were misconstrued; once you buy, you’re stuck.

That’s why their presentations are so high pressure and stressful. Consumers who attend presentations but refuse to buy often find themselves being manipulated and even, in some cases, threatened if they don’t buy. From riches to nearly free vacations, customers are promised the world if they’ll simply sign the contract.

When they don’t, the pressure increases and the salesmen start the pitch all over again. There are horror stories of people not being able to leave hotel rooms until they buy, or lured by something like a free boat ride – which takes them to an island they aren’t able to leave until they hear the entire pitch.

It seems like a bad dream, but it’s happening all over the world. That’s why Direct Transfers is so passionate about helping people out of the timeshare trap.

If timeshare companies are dishonest about their pitch, and dishonest about their promises, they’re only going to get worse when it comes to actually owning part of their property. In fact, owners have little say over what timeshare companies do with the funds brought in by maintenance fees – or anything else that happens on their timeshare property.

The worst of the timeshare companies comes out when it comes to getting rid of their timeshare. Since they make their fortunes on maintenance fees and special assessment fees, it only makes sense that they would fight tooth and nail to keep their income. That’s why you shouldn’t try to get rid of your timeshare alone, and what Direct Transfers helps you with.

With any other company, you’re left at the mercy of the timeshare companies and the whims of consumers, whether it’s a listing agency or a reselling scam. But with Direct Transfers, we take the burden of your timeshare right away – meaning you don’t have to worry. When you work with Direct Transfers, you work with your escape from the timeshare trap.
