There is quite a bit of pressure that comes with picking a timeshare exit company to help you get out of the situation that you are currently facing. If you’ve been trying for a while to get away from your timeshare and you just can’t make it happen, getting the right partner could make all the difference.
So, how do you know that you are making the right pick? It starts by reading reviews like this one and doing your homework. On this page, we are going to zoom in on Consumer Consulting Group to see what they have to offer. You’ll have to decide if this is an option worth exploring further, but it can’t help to keep educating yourself on the choices.
What is Consumer Consulting Group?
This is a timeshare exit company based in California. To learn more about what Leave Timeshare might have to offer, I spent some time exploring their website to see what the business is all about.
I like to take some time to read through the content on timeshare exit company websites to get a feel for what they offer and how they claim to be able to get the job done. They state that they have been in business since 2018, and much of the tone of their content is based around the idea of righting a wrong and giving their clients a degree of justice for how they may have been taken advantage of by a timeshare developer.
They also make a point of highlighting their free consultation, which is a good offer but is something that is available from virtually every timeshare exit company. One interesting point that I noticed when browsing the website is that the writing is a bit messy and there are plenty of errors in the copy. That’s not necessarily something that should reflect poorly on the business as a whole, but it could make you wonder about the effort and attention that will be put into your case if the content on their website hasn’t been carefully reviewed and improved.
Do Customers Have Good Things to Say?
It’s no secret that you can learn a lot by reading reviews online about any business that you might work with in your life. All companies are going to say great things about themselves, of course, but past customers can be trusted to be a little more open and honest about the experiences they’ve had.
But here’s the thing – even within reviews, you can’t always take what you read at face value. Maybe the reviewer was just in a bad mood and isn’t treating the company fairly. Maybe the review isn’t even real. Whatever the case, you want to approach reviews by seeing them in the big picture, rather than putting too much weight or stock in just one specific piece of feedback.
Above, you’ll see a positive review that was left for Consumer Consulting Group. This customer appears to be quite happy with the experience they were provided in getting their contract terminated.
On the flip side, the review above left by Alan expresses the opposite sentiment. He highlights how he paid a significant sum only to not get the service that he expected, and how he is fighting to get his money back out of the agreement. This is the nightmare outcome for any timeshare owner who is trying to get out, and we’ll talk more below about how you can avoid such an outcome. For what it’s worth, the company does respond to this review and state that the payment was reversed.
Knowing How to Leave a Timeshare is Helpful
In virtually every part of life, education goes a long way toward success. The same is true when trying to get out of a timeshare. Yes, you can work with a timeshare exit company to help you move through this process, but it’s still important to understand the basics of how things work and what methods are likely to be able to get you out of a timeshare in the end.
There are more ways to leave a timeshare than you might think at first. For one thing, using the legal recission period is an excellent option if you have purchased this timeshare within the last week or two. Assuming that is not the case, you’ll have to look at other options, such as giving the timeshare deed back to the developer and walking away. That approach won’t allow you to get any money out of the timeshare, but you will at least be off the hook for future costs.
Perhaps the dream scenario is to find a buyer for your timeshare who is willing to pay at least a little something for the deed. That doesn’t happen particularly often, to be honest, but it can’t be ruled out, either. If you manage to find a willing buyer who will take over the legal responsibilities that come with owning the timeshare, count yourself lucky and do what you need to do to get the job done.
Please Don’t Make This Costly Error
I hate to see people lose money to timeshares that they no longer want to own. That’s a disappointing outcome for something that started with visions of taking fun vacations and making memories with family and friends.
What do I hate even more than seeing people waste money on a timeshare they don’t want to own? Seeing those same people waste money on timeshare exit services that don’t deliver in the end. Too many people have fallen victim to exit companies that are more than happy to take their money upfront without having the intention of actually following through and getting the job done in the end. That’s not to say that you would have that kind of experience with Consumer Consulting Group, but it does happen with some companies, and it is frustrating to see when it occurs.
To make it far less likely that you suffer such a fate, one of the best ways to approach this situation is to work with an exit company that offers escrow service. By putting money in escrow, there is much less risk of being left without results at the end of the day. The exit company will have the necessary motivation to work on your case because they will want to get to the point where the money is released from escrow and they get paid. Be sure to give yourself this kind of protection and avoid being the victim of an exit company that could leave you out in the cold.
Frequently Asked Questions
The timeshare industry is intentionally confusing – the harder it is for people to understand the truth that surrounds their timeshares, the less likely they will be to actually take action and get away. I’d like to help clear up some of that confusion by offering some FAQs below.
Q: Does it hurt my credit score to leave a timeshare?
A: Not necessarily. Leaving your timeshare without damaging your credit is entirely possible, but it’s all about how you manage to leave and what happens along the way. For example, if you fall behind on maintenance fee payments – and certainly if you go through foreclosure – your credit will suffer. If you manage to work with the developer to leave on good terms, or sell the timeshare to someone else, everything will be fine.
Q: Is renting out a timeshare a good alternative to exiting completely?
A: While renting out your timeshare is a viable way to make back some money as an owner, it’s not really accomplishing the same thing as leaving. You’ll still be legally responsible for everything that comes with timeshare ownership. It may be possible to rent the timeshare in the short term while you work on executing an exit strategy.
Q: Could I use bankruptcy to get out of my timeshare?
A: Filing for bankruptcy would likely get you out of your timeshare ownership experience, but at great cost to your credit in the long run. Bankruptcy is never an easy path and it is something that should always be avoided if at all possible.
