Wonders why mandatory info not part of timeshares
Placeholder Image
RESPONSE FROM A READER: I have given some thought to the timeshare thing – and yes we had one and paid money to get rid of it. Many things amaze me about timeshares particularly why there isn’t more mandatory information before you buy one, your signature required, for example under the sentence that says words to the effect, the fees associated with this timeshare will be due and payable forever and ever, either by me or my heirs, even if I don’t want it anymore or can’t use it.It’s the same thing as taxes due on regular real estate, like my house, say; someone will always be required to pay the taxes on it, either me, my estate or the next buyer - the important difference being you can eventually SELL a house.I wonder if anyone has ever successfully sold a timeshare?
