I was contacted by a Joe Barnes [protected]) and was told he would sell my Timeshare in Mexico. I actually have a contract from them, or I would never sent them money. I checkout their web site, plus the company in Texas, Transfer my TImeshare and it all look ligit! Phone numbers, web sites, everything. I was then transferred to Sean Strickland, in Accounting to get some information from me for depositing my check. I was then no longer able to contact Joe Barnes, he and wife was having a baby! I was then transferred to Mya Cruz [protected]) to complete the sale...to make a long story short...after needed closing costs, transfer costs, Mexico taxes, on and on...I finally couldn't get a hold of them anymore...phones were disconnected, gone, gone...both businesses...! I have documentation of every step. But where do I start? I tried to file a complaint with US BANK the credit card company, ...which drug on and on, and never heard from them until I was delinquent on my payments...?! and finally had to pay them, but credit damaged! They said I had to file the complaint within 60 days...well, these guys are good...because they strung me along for 90 days before I wised up! I have kept everything and also looking for a solution, and a way to bring them to justice!

Cost of donating was more than liquidating so I got suckered into that. Within a few weeks, I was out $1800 and the resort wound up with the ownership deed. Donate for a Cause hooked (they sure did!) me up with Resorts Closing. Somewhere along the line, I was bamboozled, but I'm just relieved to be through with all the lowlife SOB's. They will get theirs someday. We all do.
We've seen this many times. We are a charity that accepts title to any deeded timeshare as a donation regardless of location, value, condition, or terms of use so long as it can be transferred to our corporate name. However, we charge a $500 fee at the end to accept it. That's how we convert the timeshare to cash instead of trying to sell, rent, or use it. The important point is that we don't do any of the paperwork. The donor chooses their own title escrow company to handle the paperwork and any fees involved. As long as it's an experienced and LICENSED company that must answer to their state for inappropriate actions. This protects both the donor and charity.
after having a narrow escape with ETOO and its co criminals Club concerierge our Timeshare is now up for sale on site @ las brisas Lanzarote but I can see pink pigs flying first W

National, February 24, 2011—Unwanted timeshares can be so costly and hard to sell that owners are often better off just giving them away. Sound Crazy? A non-profit organization has made timeshare donation easy, safe—and profitable for owners.
Donateforacause.org takes unwanted timeshares; converts them to cash; and donates the dollars to other charities. The process takes just two to six weeks. Besides good karma, owners also get a hefty tax write off, often worth more than what the property would have sold for on the open market.
“The ugly truth is that the resale value of a timeshare is typically only 20 cents on the dollar, ” says attorney James Tarpey, founder of Donateforacause.org. “Listing agents won’t tell you that because they want your business.”
With about a million unwanted timeshares for sale, owners are being devastated by timeshare scams. In fact, the Better Business Bureau says timeshare scams now rank among the top 10 scams in the U.S. Besides losing money to bogus listing companies, desperate timeshare owners are now paying “rescue companies” thousands of dollars just to be rid of their properties and the associated costs.
“It’s awful that owners are paying these rescue companies when they could be getting a tax write off and helping needy charities at the same time, ” says Tarpey. “All they get from a rescue company is a needlessly expensive timeshare out, and nothing else.”
Donateforacause.org is the first and only nonprofit that takes timeshares—and all associated liability—on behalf of other nonprofits, buffering them from the problems. Charities don’t get any of the headaches, just the cash. Since its founding in 2004, Donateforacause.org has raised more than 3.5 million for such charities as The American Cancer Society and The American Kidney Fund.
“It’s a great feeling to help out these charities while solving your timeshare problems, ” Tarpey says of owners who donate. “When it comes to timeshares, it really is better to give than to receive.”
