Beware of Timeshare industry

To any prospective timeshare/points investor be very very careful you sign on the dotted line. You may in for many surprises after you have concluded a Contract and you will witness as to how unscrupulous this industry is and can be, how very unaccommodating the environment is. Is sounds all very rosy in the beginning but as time progresses things change rapidly - especially the annual fees which is non negotiable. Ensure the contract that you sign is not open-ended - they should have a Cancellation clause which permits the purchaser to opt out without difficulty and being summoned with a huge bill. Ensure that the Contract is not in perpetuity. I am stuck with a company in which i bought points more than 15 years ago. They refuse to accept my voluntary exit in view that economically things are getting tough. This matter is dragging for close to a year. When you go for these meetings and promises of great prizes which you have won you somehow are made to feel obligated and pressured into entering into a Contract. You will propose all type of strategical payment plans - once you sign you are done. THAT'S IT!!!!!!!
