Giving up your timeshare after it has been paid in full (by James M.):
Ask if the TS will deed back the property so you can dump this never ending trap. Understand your friends and relatives osition. Who would want to assume a liability for the rest of their life especially if they cant get rid of the liability themselves down the road. The real criminals are the ones who lied to you about selling the TS, not telling you about high escalating maintenence fees and being able to exchange for desirable locations when they sold it to you. Even if it affects your credit what choice do you have?
