How would you get out of a timeshare contract?
Here's the story:
A few months ago a salesman introduced my mother and father to an invitation to a resort for about only 50 bucks. They thought it was a good deal so they went with it. Turns out they had to attend a two hour seminar before enjoying their little vacation.
I stayed at home while they were on their vacation.
The two hour seminar was a high pressure timeshare sale. I'm not sure why, but they actually spent nine thousand dollars for the timeshare (and now they regret it). It turns out they can only use the condo for a certain time of the year and they also have to pay monthly maintenance fees!
My parents mostly speak Spanish so there was a communication barrier during the seminar. I wish I was there with them to convince them to not buy the timeshare...
To make matters worse, the next month my father got laid off. He was the one putting food on the table. Now my mother stuck in a second job to get the bills paid and I'm here trying to make sales in the internet marketing business.
So right now my mother is suffering from anxiety and my father is a bit depressed.
We've been thinking of selling the timeshare but we're not sure how, and we don't want to get scammed again. We just want to end this.
Please, if anyone has any experience with timeshares I would really appreciate the advice.
