<prompt> Human: Hello folks! Backstory: my dad bought multiple timeshares, two of which he gave me that I ended up never using. Got really pissed off when on vacation, I overheard timeshare points salespeople at a different table same restaurant saying how screwed people were if they bought weeks, and how much better points are both are weeks. Apparently I didnt know this, if the resort incurrs damage, or wants to improve its rooms, the costs are the burden of the timeshare owners. So, I tried to get rid of darn weeks. I looked at selling them, but theres so many iffy salespeople out there that I couldnt find someone to trust. And frankly, I really didnt want a 6 month minimum headache for the possibility of getting some cash out of it 500-1000 if lucky. Didnt help that I saw most timeshares selling for 0, or the owner giving money to the buyer to purchase the unit. I spoke to a few companies who sent me letters in the mail, but the webinars had a sales pitch at the end, usually from 2k-5K per timeshare upfront. I almost went with those, but luckily I googled one more time and found a gem on reddit. A user posted something about a deedback. Googled the term, contacted both resorts, and asked to do a deedback. One was running a limited time only deedback program psh, limited my bum where I paid one year maintenance attorney fees for title work recording costs with the county. I took it. The other only charged attorney fees and recording fees, but wanted a hardship letter for the board to approve or deny. I sent in my letter, and was told I have to also pay 1 year of maintenance sad, but Ill take one year over multiple lifetimes, aka myself and my kids. Thus, Im now waiting on the county to record the first timeshare, and waiting on the paperwork to sign on the second. It feels so great to no longer shell out cash for vacations not taken, which would have been MORE EXPENSIVE than if I booked through ExpediaTravelocity anyway.  <response>: Just goes to show you what a trap these things are that you literally have to buy your way out of them! A few years back, a timeshare my wife owned with her ex back in her pre-PF days finally caught up with her after he did a Chapter 7. He had been awarded the timeshare in the divorce but of course that did nothing to relieve her from their joint obligation to the timeshare company.After much negotiation, she was able to settle with the company for 3K which was pretty good, considering twice that amount was still owed on it, let alone the thousands in past-due maintenance fees and then reopened their divorce case and sued him to recover the 3k. Let that be a lesson to anyone who thinks that bankruptcy will buy you out of a support obligation. Its funny because he gloated that it wasnt his problem. ;
