Verified ReviewerThis company is a scam
We met and signed with Easy Timeshare Relief (ETR), Steve Cuccia, in an effort to exit our timeshare. We were charged $1400 at the start of the working relationship, with another $1345 due at the time of the completion of the exit.
At that time, we were instructed to not pay any additional money to our timeshare. We notified Steve that we had an offer from our timeshares exit department. We were told that we needed to bring our maintenance fees current, which they were at that time, and then pay $1200 fee. Steve stressed that we should not take the offer, as the timeshare can take our money and still not let us out.
Steve even reduced our fees for us to continue to work with his company to exit our timeshare, rather than accept the timeshares offer. By the way, Steve will only talk on the phone, he will not email for correspondence . . .
no record . . . hmmm
In the contractual paperwork from ETR, they state that the exit process can take up to and over a year.
We followed their instructions. A year passed, and we again owed our maintenance fees.
About 7 months into our contractual relationship, Steve instructed us to take the above offer, which specifically contradicted his previous instructions. If I had taken the offer the previous year, I would not have had to pay another $1100 in maintenance fees, not to mention the additional $350 for non-payment charges. We were informed that paying the timeshare more money encourages them to not let you out, as they are still receiving money from you.
Now I am out an additional $1450, due to ETR direction and instruction.
We called Steve and expressed our dissatisfaction and shock at being directed to take the previous offer. We told Steve that if we are taking the previous offer, then his company has done nothing for us but cost us an additional $1450 plus his fees. I informed Steve that I had lost faith in his company and requested a refund for services not received. He talked in circles trying to get me to not stop using his services.
When I told him I would simply dispute with our credit card, he told me we never lose with credit card disputes. Unfortunately he is right, his process takes so long, that at 6 months you lose the ability to dispute through your credit card.
I would NEVER recommend this company.
Easy Timeshare Relief is a waste of your time and money. They got $1400 from me, with nothing achieved but incurring more maintenance fees, late charges and their own high fees.
- Take your money and do nothing but give you bad advice
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Just transfer your timeshare to someone else for free.

Verified Reviewer |These ***
They're scammers they contacted me through text trying to get to go to some lousy meeting for a timeshare. How did they even get my phone number?
I sincerely want to not ever contact me again. I found a bunch of bad reviews on bbb for them.
They have only positive reviews on trust pilot which makes me think they're fake. These are scammers trying to avoid bad reviews.
Short Review on May&nbs-04:00;09,&nbs-04:00;2016
I used Timeshare Relief a few years ago for my property in Myrtle Beach. I had no issues with the transfer, other than the cost. I never tried to use their resort services.
Will not honor agreement
I gave them $3,000 to transfer my timeshare out of my name and in returned they promise I would be able to book time through their Vacation Smart program with my resort with no problems. Vacation Smart has substandard timeshares and my resort is not available.
Because I gave them extra time to fulfill their agreement I went past the 3 days to cancel. When I request a refund I was threaten with a law suit and was told I would never see my money. No one will return your calls . DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
They have terrible customer services and in they have NO customer service. I have been ripped off.
Timeshare Relief Fails to provide Relief!
I contracted with Timeshare Relief one and half years ago and they still have not been able to properly transfer my four properties. The transfer companies they use are not capapble on doing the job properly.
In fact, they are so bad that in one case they actually transferred one of my properties back to myself!!!! There is absolutely nobody in customer service that can do anything other that type your complaint into a computer and tell you that someone will get back to you. Then they do not return your phone calls.
Furthermore the sales reps will do nothing to help you once you sign the dotted line. There is absolutely no accountability.
Timeshare Relief versus Relief
TimeshareRelief.com (and it's spinoffs and franchises) charge you $5,000 to give them your timeshare. They will tell you to write it off as a bad investment (illegal).
The IRS will tell you it's just a fool's financial decision loss and pay your full taxes. CommunityHealthTraining.org is a charity that does the same thing for $500 and you get a legal IRS $5,000 income deduction for it.
The IRS will give you a refund for $5,000 x your income tax bracket percentage.. If you're in a 25% tax bracket you'll get $5,000 x 25% = $1,250 back as a tax refund for the donation.
Hotel Chain Melia, club Melia timeshare scam
I was sucked into buying a timeshare with hotel melia "club melia" tropical. My 1st visit took place in July with family.
1st thing we realized was poor service, room we were given had broken A/C regulator, busted sofa bed. Unable to fix, they moved us to another non-club meila room. It had nothing of what I had contracted in timeshare. 2 days in that room and fighting with staff to move us.
Finally day 3 they said they would move us, but not until 6PM that afternoon. 3 days down the crapper on a 7 day vacation. Needless to say, we demanded a refund of the money paid for the 7 days and cut our vactation short. I am now fighting constantly with the A*&hole that sold me this crapshare.
I've demanded a cancelation of the contract and full refund since they breached their part by not providing me with the contracted services and room.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. den.chav@***.com

Timeshare industry is known for being very susceptible to scams; however, timeshare properties are still a successful business for most resorts. In these times of rough economy, it is important to take care of our money, and timeshares are not in the way to achieve the financial security that we are all looking for.

saw your complaint and I know it has been some time. Unfortunately, I was a sales rep in the industry.
After being ripped off myself from the developer, I began helping people terminate their contracts. It is possible to legally stop all fees and ownership. you can call anytime. This is NOT A SCAM!
I am an individual who has researched and decided to go another way. godsman73@***.com

Timeshare Relief is a company based on Torrance, California. They claim to have successfully helped over 85,000 timeshare scam victims, and to provide their clients a 100% guaranteed solution.
They help their clients, by removing their names from the contract and by transferring the title to someone else. Timeshare relief is, per se, a timeshare transfer company. According to the BBB, there is an alert the business and a total of 17 complaints since March 10, 2013. The company is NOT BBB accredited.
Due to the infraction of several laws, in 2012, Timeshare Relief had to pay a penalty of $13,950 USD. http://www.timesharescam.com/blog/174-timeshare-relief/
They are a scam and use the Vacation clubs to *** out of money. They will do ANYTHING and everything they can to extend you pass your 3 day right to cancel.
That's the game with these people. As long as they can buy 3 days of time telling you whatever they need to then they have you by contract.
Total scam company with *** running it. Shut this place down immediately.
