Widow Struggles To Keep Up With Her Timeshare Finances

Written by: Chuck McDowell Updated: Dec 01, 2022 Published: Jun 14, 2021 3 minute read

Audrey W. had not used her timeshare in over a decade. She and her husband purchased it back in the 90s and had struggled paying for it ever since. Things only got worse for Audrey when her husband passed away and she had to take on full financial responsibility for the timeshare. 

Her husband had been trying to get rid of the timeshare for years before his passing but never had any luck. They were always stressed about the annual bill coming, and now she was living in this nightmare alone. She, too, realized how difficult it was to get out of a timeshare agreement and struggled by herself for some time. 

Luckily, with the help of Wesley Financial Group, LLC, Audrey was finally able to see her timeshare cancellation come to fruition. Read more of her story below with a first-hand account from Audrey herself. Please note the names of companies and people may have been changed or omitted due to privacy concerns.

“I knew that my husband had been trying to get rid of our timeshare for many years. We were always worrying about how we were going to be able to pay the annual maintenance fee when it came. Once my husband got sick, we really started falling behind on payments and I could tell that just stressed him out more.”

Did you know that your timeshare maintenance fees will increase every single year? That’s why so many families struggle to keep up with them. To make matters worse, the timeshare representatives never once mentioned this annual increase to Audrey or her husband prior to them purchasing the property.  

“With the annual fees going up every year, I could never financially catch up ever since we began to fall behind on payments. After my husband’s passing, it only got harder and harder each year. I was already on a small income and paying the resort, I wasn’t left with much. ”

Audrey and her husband had fallen behind on their payments, and with higher fees coming annually, she was never able to get it back on track. Throughout this whole period, she was not even using the timeshare and had not visited the property in years. She finally realized something needed to be done.

“I did not want to leave the timeshare and all of its debt to my children one day, and just the thought of that being possible scared me. I remember years ago when we first made the purchase, the representatives boasted about our children being able to inherit it. But they never mentioned how expensive it would become and that they would inherit that also.”

Determined not to let this burden fall onto the shoulders of her children, Audrey began looking for a way out of her timeshare agreement. After researching with her kids, they all decided that Wesley Financial Group, LLC was the best option. They were right! After calling us and qualifying for our services, Audrey saw her timeshare agreement completely terminated!*

“It was a huge relief for me not having to worry about those annual maintenance fees anymore. My children and I never have to think about that timeshare again. We are so grateful!”
