MESA, Ariz., January 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Have you ever wondered how to get out of a timeshare contract without falling victim to scams? Better Business Bureau of Western Michigan (BBB) decreased by Gordon Newtonfounder of the Newton Group and considered by many to be the country’s leading timeshare exit expert, to explore effective strategies to end ownership and avoid fraud. Interview titled “Exiting a Time Split”, provides critical insight into navigating the challenges of completing timeshare ownership while avoiding scams.
World of Timeshare Exit Exposure
With an increase in ads promoting “money-back guarantees,” “legal help,” “credit protection,” or even “resort refunds,” consumers often struggle to distinguish legitimate services from scams.
Newton warns of the pitfalls often associated with the marketing promises and money-back guarantees commonly featured in timed exit ads: “In the past few years, over 40 timeshare exit companies have closed or filed for bankruptcy, leaving thousands of owners with outstanding timeshare contracts and no refunds from the exit company that failed them—despite assurances of companies’ written refunds.”
Newton explained. “Many of these exit companies gain credibility by advertising written ‘money-back guarantees,’ but these guarantees often serve more as a distraction from the actual services—or lack thereof—that are offered.”
Newton advises consumers to critically evaluate the exit company’s services rather than be fooled by promises such as: “Don’t worry about how we’re going to get you out – because if we can’t, we’ll give you your money back.” This vague approach often leads to confusion and undesirable results.
The stakes are high for timeshare owners
Newton discovered a grim reality: “55% of timeshare owners fail in their exit attempts, and 1 in 4 of those failures occur due to hiring bad timeshare exit companies.” These failures cost consumers millions annually, underscoring the importance of careful consideration of exit companies.
Acquisition for exiting companies
Newton advises consumers not to be swayed by flashy marketing or low prices. “Focus on the actual services the exit company offers and make sure everything is in writing,” he stressed. “Not all dating services are created equal. Understand the service first — then compare prices.”
Legal Representation: An indispensable service
Newton emphasizes the critical importance of personal legal representation: “When you signed your timeshare contract, it became a legally binding document. Any eviction company you consider should include personal legal representation for the timeshare owner as part of their service. Be wary of eviction companies with lawyers on staff or third parties -Party Law Firms These lawyers usually represent the outgoing company, not you (the timeshare owner) and are legally bound to put the exiting company’s interests above anyone else To protect your exit from the timeshare, it is essential to secure a representation letter from a lawyer who explicitly represents you (the timeshare owner) which is exactly what Newton Group offers. for each customer.
