I made the biggest mistake of my life a year or so ago by buying in to a Trend West or now called Windham Resorts timeshare. Not only do they pressure you to buy as if you're being attacked by the mob, but then after you're an owner you start discovering all the lies and hidden fees involved in owning a timeshare. Besides the $200.00 per month you have to pay for the basic credit package of 6000 there are monthly association dues of nearly $50.00 and housekeeping charges that cost as much as a nice hotel room at the Best Western! Now for the best part, you can't get into any of the resorts because Winham has oversold timeshares and continues to sell more which is like selling a product they don't have. If you ar lucky enough to get into a resort it won't be the one you wanted and you have to reserve it a year or more ahead of time. As if all this isn't bad enough you'll get tons of harassing phone calls trying to get you to buy more credits (as if you could use the ones you have) and because you are an owner and under contract I might add adding them to the do not call list doesn't work. I still owe about 9k on my time share and in todays market it's worth about 1k if I tried to sell it. Better do some serious thinking and research before you let the mobster behind the curtain threaten you with owning their timeshare!
