Over 26 1/2 years ago while my wife was on our honeymoon, a young man approached us wheile we were celebrating. He told us about a deal that sounded extremely good, but we had to decide 'that hour' to sign a paper as it was a one -time offer.

He said that the timeshare would rent the property if we weren't able to go. He also said that the Resort would sell the property anytime we requested.
After 3 years of asking them to rent the week (they didn't), we asked them to sell it. This was around 1987. They never sold it.
Life events forced us to move to Central America for a few years. When we returned, we received a bill for over $900 saying if we paid it, we would be clear with them. I understood the letter to mean that we would be completely out from under the Timeshare. I paid. A couple years ago, I received a bill from them claiming that we owed them $6000. Each letter shows we owe more.
I have written them saying that we never received a deed, and I saw no reason to pay for something we've never used and nothing to show for all the thousands that we'd paid in the past.
I cannot believe that such an evil scam can be legal.
I have told the credit companies that call that I'd rather go to prison than pay them another cent.
This seems to be an everlasting noose around my neck with no escape.
I'm Very disillusioned in my fellow man now.
