I personally only would purchase a timeshare out of the US, and on the resale market and only if paid for and no financing. Then at purchase you do not give your SS#, there is no need for it and if you decide to walk away you pretty much can and you avoid the scenario of companies like this. I have purchased 8 time shares not using my SS#, sold one, walked away from one, one closed and still have 5. We like to travel.

Like buying a car, you do your research and make the decision of if it makes sense knowing that it is pretty unlikely that your vehicle will increase or even hold its value. You could instead lease, rent, walk, ride a bus or bicycle or you find the value and enjoyment of the car you purchase. Sometimes you get a lemon, sometimes you get an enjoyable ride but the more you research the better odds you have of it being a positive experience.

I have no complaints about any of the time shares I have purchased, I do however regret a couple of my car purchases.
