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
