Who do you believe?Most of those have never worked in the timeshare industry. How much could they possibly know?Some timeshare forums charge membership fees and include frivolous discussions on what people "think" they know what goes on behind the scenes, and everybody has his or her own opinions. Who do you believe?Moreover, timeshare attorneys within the U.S. know very little, if anything, about timeshares in another state or in foreign countries. In fact, if one is a licensed attorney for one state, he or she cannot legally represent you in all states, or in other countries.BUTTHEY WILL GUARANTEE THAT THEY CAN GET YOU OUT OF A TIMESHARE NO MATTER WHERE IT IS.WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?Just because one has the title of attorney and an attractive website, do you think that this prevents them from lying to get your money? Oh that's right. Attorneys don't lie.Many will use a sales tactic called a "take away," and tell you up front that they are not sure whether they can assist you. Then, later, they will tell you that they can - FOR A FEE. Hmmm.Did you know that if you are a foreigner and you own a timeshare in Mexico or any other foreign country, at any time, you can just walk away without any legal issues or affecting your credit?Why? Because your timeshare contract only applies in that country, and if there is any litigation, it can only be applied to that country. A RIGHT TO USE PURCHASE DOES NOT FOLLOW YOU IN YOUR HOME TURF.Some foreign timeshares are not legal in the countries in which you purchased, for the following reasons: The contract states the any legal issues must be taken up in Panama or some other offshore tax havenThe timeshare company doesn't own the resorts they are selling in, even if they are included in the RCI or I.I. resort directoriesThe timeshare company that sold you the timeshare is operating illegally behind the skirts of the resort, a completely separate entity, and in many cases, do not own inventory at any of the resorts, which is why members are frustrated that they cannot get in.This is the only source that you will ever need to know everything about the timeshare industry, and how you can get rid of your timeshare for free. No more spending hours on forums, speaking to attorneys and surfing the Internet.

Download or read book Heelcatcher written by Steve Foster and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If God can love Jacob, then He can love anyone.Surprisingly, God associates Himself with Jacob more than any other person in the Bible. God calls Himself the God of Jacob on twenty-four occasions. And He calls Himself the God of Israel (the new God-given name of Jacob) over two hundred times.Jacob is not the biblical "hero" that we talk about. There are no children's songs about Jacob. No one sings "Dare to Be a Jacob." His story is more embarrassing than impressive. Yet God ties His name for all eternity to Jacob.Why? Because all of us are like Jacob in some regard. We are all "heelcatchers," struggling to make life work, wrestling with God, fighting to figure out who we are.Jacob's story is our own.In my own struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, perfectionism, past abuse, and the meaning of masculinity, I discovered the beauty and power of God's grace in Jacob's life. The God who loves Jacob loves us all...and is a refuge to all who cling to Him alone."Be still, and know that I am God;I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!The Lord of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our refuge."-Psalm 46:10-1
