Sometimes, a name pretty much says it all. Help Me Exit is a timeshare exit company that is intended to help existing owners of timeshares find their way out and move on. But is Help Me Exit really going to be able to help you, and are they the right company to pick when so many are available to serve your needs? That is yet to be determined.
In the content below, we’ll take a closer look at what Help Me Exit has to offer so you can decide if you want to spend any time exploring them further. We’ll also talk about what a good exit company looks like, so you have some points in mind to weigh as you try to get closer to your goal of becoming a former timeshare owner.
What is Help Me Exit?
A San Diego business, Help Me Exit is an operation that is dedicated specifically to aiding clients with the timeshare exit process. Where some companies offer timeshare exits along with many other services – law firms, for example – Help Me Exit is designed to help people who are stuck in a timeshare contract that they would like to leave.
One of the best ways to start to get to know a business is simply to spend a few minutes reading the content on its website. As you look around, things look pretty good – although much of the content is rather thin and uses a lot of words to not say very much in the end.
There is, however, one specific part of the website that is interesting to examine. They call it the “Skin in the Game” guarantee. The basic idea of this guarantee is that if the company isn’t able to get you out of the timeshare, they will transfer it into their own name and take ownership from you. Basically, this means you would be assured of getting out of the timeshare, since they’ll either find another way out or take it from you.
This might not necessarily be as good of a deal as it sounds, however. It’s hard to say how this guarantee would be enforced, and it is only offered for “qualifying timeshare ownerships”.
One thing I do like about what they state on their site is that they only collect payment from clients after the service has been delivered and the timeshare is successfully transferred. That’s the way it should be, and that approach will help you avoid getting scammed out of your hard-earned money.
Have They Delivered Good Results?
Using reviews is a helpful way to evaluate any business, including timeshare exit companies. With Help Me Exit, however, there is a big problem on this front – a lack of reviews. I have added one review below to present the positive perspective of one individual, but that’s just about all there is to be found about the work that this company provides.
A lack of reviews doesn’t mean the business can’t give you results, but it is a little concerning. If this company was strong in the area of getting clients out of timeshares, you would think at least a few more people would have taken to the web to sing their praises and tell others about the success. The lack of complaining reviews means that there at least isn’t a long line of unhappy people out there who have been disappointed with the service they received, but it’s likely that Help Me Exit simply hasn’t done much work in this space.
So, should you trust a company that has some good offers but doesn’t seem to have much of a track record in timeshare exits? That’s for you to decide. With other, more experienced alternatives in the market, it seems likely that you’ll at least want to explore some of the alternatives before you make your choice and start to move forward in the process.
I Don’t Want You to Make This Mistake
When I talk to people about timeshares – specifically, about leaving timeshares – I am always careful to make the point that I don’t want them to waste any more of their money on this whole process than is absolutely necessary. The timeshare has certainly taken enough of your money over the years, and that should end as soon as possible.
Too many timeshare exit companies are lined up to access some of your money that you might spend out of desperation to leave the timeshare. This is why handing over your money at the start before they have delivered any results is a bad idea. What if the exit company doesn’t get the job done, or simply walks away with your cash? I don’t want that to happen.
The best way to avoid this risk is to use a timeshare exit company that will work with you on an escrow basis. That means the money you pay to the company is going to be held in escrow at the start of your working agreement, and they won’t be able to access the funds until they get the job done. That provides them with motivation to actually work hard on the matter, and it gives you some valuable peace of mind. When you discuss potentially working together with an exit company, one of the first things you ask about should be escrow services. If they aren’t willing to operate this way, find someone who will.
The Best Ways to Pick an Exit Company
It helps to have some criteria in mind when looking for an exit company, whether you are trying to decide whether or not to work with Help Me Exit, or any of the other options on the market. Of course, as you would guess by now, one of those criteria should be using escrow to manage the payment that you send to the exit company for their services.
But just having escrow services isn’t enough to be sure that you’ve found the right partner. Another element of this puzzle is experience. Like anything else, a company with experience is likely to perform better than one without much of a history in this industry. Given the lack of reviews and minimal social activity of Help Me Exit, it’s fair to wonder how much experience this team has to its credit.
Another factor that you will want to think about is how the timeshare exit company is going to go about this process. You always want to have a partner who is going to respect your credit, not do anything to put you at risk, and pursue many different options to make sure a successful conclusion is reached. It’s entirely possible that the first tactic tried by your exit company isn’t going to work out, so they should have more tricks up their sleeve in order to get the job done and leave you with the result you’ve been dreaming of for months or years.
