I was in the same position and then I found a company that I could Donate my Timeshare to. It cost me no money and I received a $4900.00 tax credit to boot. The Charity is a Wildlife Refuge and the Company that handled everything was www.trejesto.com. They were great and everything was done in a couple of weeks. I would highly recommend them.

I had previously listed a complaint about Fairfield Resorts and had thought the matter had been "settled" but just found out today that it was a complete lie from one of their representatives.

I had previously tried to warn all about dealing with Fairfield Resorts from the fact that, I was lied to during the sales presentation and that any payments you owe will be automatically deducted from your bank account.

I was set up with automatic payments from Faifleld and was told there was insufficient funds in my account, and that 2 months payment were not payed.
I immediately checked my account online and found out that was not true.
I also called my bank and verified that it was not true.
I then sent them bank statements to show the payments were made and they still did not believe it!
The original balance of 30 dollars mushroomed into over $ 280.00 (collection fee after collection fee).
I wrote a letter to The Squeaky Wheel in July and they got over 100 e-mails from people on the internet who had viewed my complaint.

They called me the end of July and said they would settle for $ 15 dollars if I would remove the letter.
After a year of hell with these people, I decided it was worth it even though I didn't owe $ 15 dollars.
Well I just found out it was all a lie they still claim I owe $ 280 dollars and my payment was to mortgage services and not the maintenance department. Don't believe anything, anyone, from Fairfield Resorts says, or a Cedent Company (their parent company)for that fact. If you have a similar problem with them don't accept any settlement without a settlement agreement and verification from an attorney.
These are the most dishonest people on the planet, just go to one of their high pressure sales pitches and you'll see. I have never been through hell like I have been with these people. Try any other reputable timeshare company, RCI for instance, but don't buy from Fairfield!
