Owning A Timeshare Was A Hardship Like No Other For Joel & Elsa

When Joel and Elsa E. first attended a timeshare presentation, they did not think too much about buying one. Thinking it was all over with, they began to gather their things to leave but were then rushed to meet for another two hours with a couple of salespeople. What started with a bad impression did not get any better for Joel and Elsa, and before too long, they were looking into canceling their timeshare agreement. 

They eventually came across us at Wesley Financial Group, LLC and we were happy to assist them with the matter. They have shared with us below a firsthand account of their experiences as timeshare owners and what others can learn from their mistakes. The names of people and places have been changed and/or redacted for privacy reasons. 

“So the presentation lasted for about an hour and we thought everything was over with after that, but then we were bombarded with sales pitches from all the timeshare agents. We were in there for several hours probably, as salespeople just kept coming in and out of the room. We tried to leave on two separate occasions, but both times the price was dropped dramatically and we were pushed to stay.”

Timeshare salespeople have no regard for other people’s time. They will keep you stuck in a room all day when you’re supposed to be on vacation. 

“We had to leave our child in daycare several hours while we were trapped with those salespeople. Their shtick worked on us eventually as we grew more impatient. They made it sound like as owners we would be highly regarded at the resort and taken care of, but after buying it, we realized they just wanted to squeeze all the money they could out of us.”

Joel and Elsa became familiar with all the downsides of a timeshare rather quickly. Limited availability, poor customer service, and a high increase of costs over time.  

“The financial burden of the timeshare was greatly impacting my ability to provide for my family. For the price we were paying the resort, we could’ve been taking five times as many trips to other resorts or hotels. My military discount got me deals elsewhere that were better than my timeshare could ever provide.”

Enough was enough for this couple and they were ready to get out of their timeshare agreement after coming in contact with us. Along with canceling their agreement, Joel and Elsa were also relieved of $6,500 in timeshare mortgage and maintenance debt.*

If you know anyone with a similar timeshare experience, please feel free to pass our phone number along to them. We’d love to see if they qualify for our timeshare termination services.
