Q. My son maybe subject to have a timeshare willed to him. Can he decline acceptance and avoid expences of a timeshare?
A: Yes, your son is not required to take ownership of the timeshare. I recommend speaking with a local attorney on how to do this.
Q. Can timeshare put a lien on my house ,what can we do Thx
A: It depends on the contract, but they almost never will even if it is an option for them. Rather, they'll foreclose and take the timeshare back into their inventory should you fall behind on maintenance fees. I recommend reaching out to the timeshare company and offering to deed or return the property back to them at no cost.
Q. Hello, I need help with a timeshare co. that has ruined my credit, falsely reporting late payments and wont let me out!
A: I've helped with a few of these. Here are some ideas to discuss with your attorney. First, your attorney should speak with their legal department. They can usually take care of these things fairly quickly. Second, if the timeshare company continues to drag their feet with this, you can dispute the credit reporting with the credit bureaus directly. Good luck and please let me know if you have more questions.
