How to Avoid Timeshare Scams

Unfortunately, when timeshare owners try to sell or exit their timeshares, it’s all too common for them to lose money to fraudulent businesses and individuals pretending to offer help. Victims of these timeshare exit schemes have found themselves out thousands of dollars.

ARDA-ROC encourages all owners to take the following steps to avoid timeshare exit scams:

Reach Out to Your Resort Developer

Many timeshare developers have programs specifically designed to take back unwanted inventory. ARDA’s Responsible Exit program is an excellent resource to find accurate information and guidance on how to exit your timeshare safely and effectively.

Use the Resources Available to You

If your developer doesn’t have a program to help, visit The Coalition for Responsible Exit online resource center to find step-by-step advice about how best to approach exiting your timeshare.

If You Choose to Work with a Third Party, Do Your Homework

Always make sure you are working with a qualified, trusted company to avoid timeshare exit scams. The Resale Provider Directory on ResponsibleExit.com has a list of vetted third-party companies to choose from.
