Thanks Tom.

I also hear several different ads on the radio for service to get you out of your timeshare. I am sure they charge a handsome fee and there seems to be a lot more of them since the natural disasters.

I did a quick search of several different "timeshare exit" companies and they all seemed to have one thing in common. FREE consultation but a "FEE that will vary based on individual circumstances and factors". In other words, they will talk to you for FREE but will get as much $$$ out of you as possible in the end.

A timeshare bought in and owned by a US based company will have different laws governing the purchase/exit than one bought and owned by a non-US company.
