Testimonials
Fortunately, my resort allows owners to deed the timeshare back to the association. I didn’t get anything for it, but I didn’t have to keep paying maintenance. I was only out $4,000 because we bought it from my wife’s mother years ago. We figured we got the value back over the years.

In 2014 my husband and I went through one of these so-called exit companies and ended up paying $6300! And we were dumb enough to fall for it, but we wanted out so badly!
Judy L.
Too many scammers out there. Call the timeshare company yourself.

Last year, Wyndham took mine back after 18 years – no cost to me.

We were contacted to attend a dinner to learn how to exit our timeshare contract. I immediately checked the internet where I found your letter with instructions to contact ARDA. Thank you for protecting timeshare owners.

Happy ending! Because of your website saying that one of the first places I should contact is the resort itself, I finally did. The minute I did, I found out that the Marriott does indeed have a sales and buy back program. So, it was the best possible outcome for me, thanks to ARDA-ROC. I was also able to reverse the Transfer company’s charge to my card because I found out the information in time. Not only did I save $3195, I will actually make money and save thousands of dollars in the future in yearly maintenance fees.

A fraudulent reseller did contact my mom, said they have a buyer for her timeshare, then emailed a contract to her. There was ARDA printed on the top left corner of the contract. So that’s why I looked up your company. They are asking her to pay $1,704.00 in fees. I can’t thank you enough for the info you shared!
Kristel R.
I will be contacting the Attorney General’s office for the State of California. Thank you for your assistance.

It is a shame that a consumer has to go through all these bells and whistles to protect their assets. I’m extremely glad that there are organizations like yours that are there for the innocent consumer, we need more.
Pamela H.
These companies really make me angry so I am trying to gather as much information as possible and then get the information out on the Internet so that more people are not scammed. Thanks again for your time and knowledge as it is very much appreciated.

I have been deleted off the Timeshare Exit Companies because I warn people about the latest timeshare scam. Never pay any monies upfront and always check the companies out with the BBB and read carefully what they state. Have them put in writing how and who they were successful in getting them out of that timeshare….. NOT JUST HELPED.

No, you can’t cancel my timeshare. It’s been paid for since 1987 and I love it. My family and I have been all over the world as a result. Don’t you even dare try and cancel it.
David D.
Sorry, we LOVE our timeshare!! I wouldn’t sell it to anyone.
Penny D.
I love my beachfront timeshare! Been using it for almost 30 years.

If you are in good standing with your timeshare and paid in full, most of them will let you out just by paying the legal cost. Call them and talk to them. Do it yourself and save thousands.
Daniel G.
I went with Wesley Financial. It’s cost me a bit and I’m still not off the hook. Been with them a little over a year.
Carol M.
With persistence, you can do it yourself.
Kathy W.
We love ours and would never get rid of it. Learn to use it.
Ellen K.
We love our timeshare and also have used it all over the world! If you know how to use your timeshare they are the best way to do vacation! Just did Sedona Arizona for 10 days for [a] $100 cleaning and exchange fee. We asked how much it normally costs they said $4,500!

We own 2 on Kaanapali. It was cheaper to buy 2 separate companies for opposite years. We have never had a problem getting a reservation or trading to another location – including Europe. Maintenance fees for both do go up every year, but so does the price of the resort vacation if you booked your own trip.
Kelly K.
I just called my timeshare company and told them I couldn’t use it anymore, couldn’t sell it or rent it, and couldn’t pay the maintenance fees. They sent me a cancelation letter to sign. Didn’t cost me a penny. I’m DONE with paying maintenance fees!
Debbie W.
Deal with the timeshare [developer] itself. I just exited two of mine because we are older and do not use them. Did not cost me anything to deed back one of them and 250 dollars to deed back the second one.
Carol S.
The only way is to work with your timeshare resort on your own unless there’s no other option. They will usually charge two years maintenance and contract release fees. They can take back the timeshare in most cases. Now, these timeshare exit companies charge for their service, plus YOU have to pay to be released from your contract.
Edward S.
I used Timeshare Exit Team A.K.A. Reed Hein. That was 4 years ago. They are still advertised AND promoted on the Dave Ramsey show. Well, nothing has happened. I have to initiate any contact. Finally, I was totally fed up and sent a certified return receipt letter demanding my money back. No response. I gave them 6 weeks, then called them AND wrote to Dave Ramsey. I am still getting the runaround. I would love to get an attorney to put together a class action suit and take them all to court!!!!!
