Why Timeshares Are Complete SCAMS!

[@JJ-yi1ch]

I went to a timeshare presentation in Miami many years ago. My boss at the time talked glowingly of timeshares so I did not know they were complete garbage. Unfortunately for the timeshare company, I understood basic math. "So, you are saying I can pay $10,000 for the opportunity to pay in maintenance fees and usage fees about the same as what it would cost to just book a hotel room for the same number of days?" Hard pass.

[@djmazz1100]

An like most of these uneducated people, why compare Motel 6 with a resort? 2 or 3 bedroom, 2 or 3 bathroom, kitchen, living room, balcony, oceanfront?

[@angelwishes3213]

Didn't even really pay attention, because wasn't interested and only signed after hearing about the 10 day grace period to get out of there; but ended up not cancelling in time. Things change & hoping in favor of being able to get rid of it.

[@emmanelsdotter823]

Wow! I’m so used to the in-person questions being shallow…but Danielle’s question in the second hour was such an important thing to talk about. I loved that discussion!

[@brucefredrickson9677]

But you can't force adult children to do the program. Keep the relationship positive and give it time.

[@ssheaff]

Need to setup a way to donate to exit team to help fight these scumbags. I sat through presentation and got out only because my credit was horrible and I had nothing. I was in Mexico. And after getting out with my promised vouchers for excursions I signed up for 2 more presentations and got a spa day package for my wife and a 1 day jet ski/snorkeling tour. The one time I was glad to be poor and to them “worthless”. The last 2 presentations only lasted 60 min because I knew to tell them early that we had already been denied elsewhere. It was fun to waste their time, eat their food, and drink their tequila.

Congrats on winning but you won against vipers. Most people get bit because it is so dangerous

[@blitzkrueg07]

My aunt was diagnosed with cancer and my uncle signed the time share over to her 100% and someone joked maybe we all should. So 3 other relatives did that. When she passed the deeds went back to the time share. Seems to be the only loophole to get rid of them.

[@CinderellaMakes]

Get em Dave!

[@DeAnn_Davies_1227]

I am a friend of Allison’s and I supported her throughout her Ramsey journey. I am telling you, she struggled. I have been a Ramsey fan for many many years and have worked the program. Allison truly is a super hero. You, Dave Ramsey, are correct! Btw, she lives in northeastern Arizona, not Phoenix.

[@AcousticHills]

Man, I really appreciate what you do Dave and Ramsey team! Almost got caught up in a time share but remembered you saying they were huge scams. I came here to verify and wow, am I glad I remembered what you said years ago. God bless you sir!

[@lalaluv786]

So happy my husband is firm on his decision and had no emotions towards those bad salesmen

[@meditatewithnae5182]

My timeshare was with west gate. I was smart enough to cancel before the 10 days. They literally held us in the room until we sign, we kept saying not interested and the kept lowering the amount. This was a total nightmare.

[@angelwishes3213]

Same here except didn't cancel in time so trying to figure out how to get rid of it

[@brianrote9146]

Well why did you let them hold you in the room against your will? Dont let people take advanage of you

[@Rony-azad]

they did the same but ı havent sighn nothıng,bıt they were lowerıng and lowerıng the prıce try to convınce me the and ı saıd big NO!

I sat through 2 and almost laughed when they offered to lend me 30k at 18%. I asked sarcastically, you'd do that for me? 😆 I can't believe anyone buys that crap.

[@jimfrushour2814]

Diamond resorts require a person to not say anything bad about them in order to exit.

[@addisontow3856]

Other scams include: fractional reserve banking, income taxes, social security...

[@tiffanyfeldman2791]

I laughed as my boss bragged up here time share so she can travel 3-5 x a year. I get same or better resorts no debt no fees no stress getting vacations only when we travel! Timeshsres you gotta pay even when not traveling and hard get out . They say you can will to kids I say will them wealth being debt free

This "email" seemed just a bit too contrived for me. I think someone on the Ramsey team wrote it. Dr. John's responses were priceless, but just a little 😉 over the top. Great "email" and responses for entertainment purposes and delivering the Ramsey message. I was highly entertained and could spout the correct response along with the hosts.

It is condescending to call a grown woman "Little Girl" over whatever dispute you two are engaged in on the air. That is unprofessional and certainly not up to the standards of loving others as we are taught by the Messiah.

[@mpayne8206]

Dave can be rude at times but I don't think unprofessional is the right word in this scenario. I think being that this is an entertainment based podcast on KZbin the standards for what is considered unprofessional is different. I think Dave is pretty clear about his sometimes in your face tactics and is actually a characteristic of the channel
