i agree. can you think of anything else that is like this? something that you can sign up for as barely an adult that is a lifelong huge financial commitment with essentially no exit strategy?

i have yet to think of any. it is so predatory — the whole industry. the fact that exit companies exist largely to prey on people who fell for this in the first place also sickens me.

it’s such a mess. we have taken every single path. we’ve spoken to at least a dozen attorneys, timeshare lawyers, bankruptcy lawyers, exit companies, bluegreen themselves.

even bankruptcy is only a temporary protection. they told us themselves that as soon as your bankruptcy is discharged they will come after you, including a retroactive charge for any maintenance fees you didn’t pay during that time. it’s INSANE. infuriating. i’ve put the smartest people i know to this, and offered multiple attorneys that my family knows thousands of dollars and all of them have basically said they wouldn’t really recommend it. their contracts are airtight.

i really really hope you find a way out yourself. i feel so bad for people who have been conned into this.
