Its interesting that I get the same negative comments from the same 3 people who probably are unaware of a lot of this sort of thing going on around them. You probably missed it but there was a settlement with the banks that will let a million homeowners reduce principle to avoid (hopefully) foreclosure. They agreed to pay a price for a home, now itll be less, walking away from an agreed price. Why? Market conditions are driving it. Institutions have to do this to stay solvent. If I were to stop paying my maintenance fee for whatever reason, a similar stress occurs on the resort. The prudent thing is just take it back and sell it to some other responsible person. That is after Ive tried exhaustively to sell it or give it away. Cant even do that as the product is worthless. So what part of this is gibberish, avoiding the issue or that you don’t understand? I see often in these forums first time postings from people that don’t have the insight you do, asking for help from knowledgeable people like you, on how to get rid of a TS after trying the obvious. Without fail, its advised to put it on the bulletin board to give away, offer to pay closing etc, as the last resort. The advisor pats themselves on the back and says to themselves ”looks like I helped another one” and that person never comes back. Now thats what I call avoiding the issue. Why is it that you don’t want to discuss or get real and truthful experience for donating a TS? Your integrity/ethics arguments are crumbling in an environment like this and the worst is yet to come. Is it because you’re personally owned by an industry that refuses to change?donp196 wrote:Could not agree more.....gibberish, OH YES!!!!!Sounds like a lot of gibberish to me to avoid the actual issue.
