How to seek to discharge ownership of a timeshare?

Cannot afford maintenance fees and unable to sell. Was told I could forfeit unit back to resort but now getting run-around. What can I do? Maintenance fee in collections. How can I prevent further billing and attachment of liens.

One way to eliminate your ownership of the timeshare that no one seems to want to buy and where the owner of the property where the timeshare is located is giving you the run around, you might consider donating the timeshare to a charitable organization.

You would get a tax write off and the entity could auction off the timeshare at an event to possibly raise funds. I suggest that you consult with a tax attorney with respect to how to donate the timeshare.
