Subject: [WSBARP] Timeshare woes

 

I have a long-time client who is in her 70s, her husband died about 3
years ago. She is on very limited income and has only a little savings.
Unfortunately she also has a timeshare that is basically worthless but
comes with the usual annual dues obligation. She's being sued in small
claims for about $1300 now, because she hasn't paid the dues since her
husband died. (They never used the timeshare and were never able to rent
it to anybody either.)

 

How in h*ll does one get rid of a timeshare? I'm representing her pro
bono to try to help deal with this, and asked for a waiver or compromise
by the HOA Board, and they just said No and are proceeding with the
small claims. It's not the current amount that's really the
concern--though she really hasn't $1300 to spare--so much as the ongoing
obligation.

 

I know it's been talked about recently on the listserve, but I'm
venting, and also hoping I missed something in the previous conversation
about a solution.

 

This is really ridiculous. There oughta be a law!

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric
