Beware of time shares and unethical sales people

Do you own a time-share unit?

See of GalileeWe bought ours back in the early 80's when we still had some money and the price of a week at a fancy holiday resort on the Sea of Galilee was really cheap. We then waited a couple of years for it to be built and then we started using our investment. And we enjoyed it.

Over the years we found a quiet nook at the pool where the noise level of the children was low and where few guests feared to tread. We went armed with a stack of the latest books which we bought with Quick Payday Loans the day before we travelled. We kept our shirts, hats and sunglasses on in the strong sunshine and we simply rested. No phones, no radios, no newspapers (except the crossword page) and no TV news. It's called pigging out.

We lunched up in our apartment, and took an hour's nap. Then we would walk, explore the different surroundings, do a little shopping and then look for afternoon tea or coffee. A rest before dinner and then the search was on for a good restaurant. What a rough day. And we did it year in and year out.

We aged

After 25 years of this once a year enforced holiday that we loved we decided that maybe it was time to sell the time-share and then we discovered that all is not as we thought. Perhaps it is possible to sell a time share but it is probably very complicated and the only evidence of "sales" that we ever saw were "for sale" notices in the papers. We never met anyone who had sold their timeshare. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Beware of time shares and unethical sales people"
