From the Forum: A tangled timeshare problem

The great thing about MPA's discussion forum is that originators can bring their tough cases to their colleagues for advice. And MPA reader a1jacmac just shared a tangled timeshare problem:


The timeshare we bought into has fallen into disrepair and is reputed to now be a center for drugs and prostitution. As a result our trading power has plummeted. Our once GOLD standard trade power used to be one week at our timeshare equalled TWO weeks trade. Now it's just the opposite…..we must bank two of our weeks to get not quite ONE week of trade.

We feel that our contract has been violated. We cannot stay at our "home" timeshare because of it's reputation…..yet we cannot sell it nor even use it for reasonable trade power.

We have had this timeshare for over 10 years but want nothing more than to be released from this worthless contract.

Do we have any legal recourse for this?
