An Encounter With Transfer America

I just met someone this weekend who coincidentally went through a similar situation as I did in regards to timeshares. This man, who I will call Steve, was a victim of timeshare resale fraud. He trusted a company who took his money and did not provide any results. I experienced the same thing before I ended up using Transfer America’s guarantee to provide results which were given to me in writing but let’s get back to Steve. Steve was paying a semi-annual maintenance fee of approximately $600. After owning his timeshare for ten years, his family grew tired and bored of visiting the same resort. I’m sure they also became bored of traveling to a family friendly resort since they were no longer twelve years old, but 22 years old instead. It was at this time that Steve wanted to purchase a new car, so he began to look at his budget and expenses. He saw the maintenance fee glaring at him from his expense list.

After realizing he was throwing money away by continuing to pay a maintenance fee for a timeshare he no longer used, Steve looked into canceling his timeshare, reselling his timeshare, and even donating his timeshare. He was unable to do any of these successfully because the resort didn’t allow canceling contracts (just as many resorts don’t.) He was also unable to donate his timeshare because no one wanted to accept the maintenance fees and special assessments that accompanied the timeshare. I already mentioned that when he went to a timeshare resale company, they turned out to be a scam where he lost a good amount of money. After Steve read an article about Transfer America, he decided to contact them. He spoke to a representative, but was still hesitant because of his last experience. Transfer America was recommended to him by a friend a few weeks later. Steve then trusted his friend’s opinion and went ahead with Transfer America.

Using Transfer America was the best decision Steve made since Transfer America was able to take the timeshare out of his hands. Transfer America took care of Steve’s obligation to maintenance fees and special assessments. In addition, Transfer America provided Steve with the opportunity to travel to different resorts where all his family could enjoy the adult amenities, even including his 22 year old. Transfer America has helped dissatisfied timeshare owners across the country get rid of 58,000 timeshares, and Steve’s timeshare is one of them. Transfer America helped Steve stopped paying any maintenance fees, which enabled him to purchase the car he wanted. Let Transfer America make the difference for you.

Timeshare owners looking for a way to get rid of their timeshares can rest easy knowing that a real business providing actual help does exists. Transfer America is a company that can provide high quality timeshare relief to any timeshare owner who is searching for a timeshare exit solution. There is a large amount of timeshare owners who have reached the point where owning a timeshare is no longer a good fit for their life any longer. These people are in a desperate situation and at risk of falling victim to a timeshare resale scam. These owners need to contact Transfer America and discuss the options that are available to them.

Transfer America was brought to my attention when my parents were searching for a way to get out of their timeshare situation. My parents came to the point in their lives where they didn’t use their timeshare any longer and they just wanted to get rid of it instead of paying for something that went unused. Luckily, they had a friend who was a former timeshare owner and used Transfer America to help get himself out of his timeshare. He told my parents about all the things Transfer America could do for them and highly recommended them.

My parents knew that they didn’t want to be stuck with their timeshare the next time maintenance fees were due. This is when they contacted Transfer America and found out how easy it would be for them to get out of their timeshare. They agreed to the company’s policies and were out of their timeshare in no time. Transfer America did everything that they promised my parents and it was so relieving to see them get rid of their unused timeshare. Transfer America was so helpful to my parents and they can provide the same help to any timeshare owner in a similar position.

The first thing that got my parents attention was that Transfer America had already helped 43,000 timeshare owners out of their timeshares. My parents knew the company was legitimate because of their friend and this number really stood out. Transfer America also gave my parents a 100% guarantee in writing that stated everything the company would do for my parents and promise them results. This made them feel immediately confident in their decision to work with Transfer America. My parents were so impressed with the company that they couldn’t help telling their friends who are timeshare owners about the company. If they are ever looking to get rid of their timeshare, I am sure my parents already talked them into using Transfer America.

BlueGreen Refunds for False Promises

In a settlement reached between BlueGreen Corp and the Pennsylvania Attorney General. BlueGreen has said they are satisfied with the settlement as it ended a two-year legal dispute. The case was over seriously misleading offers and incentives. These consumers were promised free gifts and timeshare incentives from BlueGreen Corp. that are often used to market for the sale of timeshares. However, these promises were extremely misleading and in many cases the “valuable prize” that these consumers received required pre purchases or included serious “fine print” statements that prevented them from using the free gift.

Timeshares are often sold solely because they offer so many free gifts just for attending a sales presentation. Often vacationers will get roped into a presentation and end up purchasing a timeshare when they otherwise wouldn’t. These new timeshare owners realize sooner or later what a mistake they made when they purchased the timeshare. For one reason or another timeshare ownership does not make sense for their specific budget or lifestyle. This is when they look for ways to get out of their timeshares.

Many timeshare owners will try to sell their timeshare when they realize what an expense it can be. But when they try to sell they will find out how difficult and costly trying to sell can be. This is when they come to the timeshare relief companies such as Transfer America. These are services that are necessary for the timeshare industry to function. People need a legitimate and secure way to get out of their timeshare contracts when it no longer suites their budget or lifestyle, this is what companies like Transfer America are for.
