Too good to be true.
Living together 4 years, joint accounts, a great business together, joint business loans, baby plans laid out, the words “I am ready to propose” have already been spoken. A wonderful life all laid out. A great vacation ending in the purchase of a timeshare. A life time of vacations around the world for less than $20,000. Free hotels in resorts around the world? My dream to travel becoming reality. My dream of taking my kids to see places many never get to on the horizon. Too good to be true, life is never this good.
He ends it, two days later goes on a date, 3 weeks later is officially in a new relationship. I am left with my parents, a few dollars in my pocket and no job. He takes the timeshare, he wants it and is the only one who can afford it. After all he was the one with the final say so about buying it. After splitting up assets he owes me about $11,000. This was typed out and signed by both parties. Hey, I may have been screwed over, but I am not dumb.
Fast forward 10 months. He is now fighting the amount he owes again. All this prompted we think, by the new SO/fiance. He has money issues. He no longer wants the timeshare and plans to let it default. It is already one payment late. My great credit is at risk. =( He said that he will take my name off the timeshare in return he no longer has to pay me money. Not cool. I wish I had a great job that paid enough that I could keep it. I want the timeshare so badly, it was an amazing deal and I really dont want this effecting the next 7 (prime/critical) years of my life. I am looking for someone who will help. My aunt or my brother maybe? I hope. Split the payment and use the timeshare. I would still like to keep it for my kids. So from there the situation depends on the person who helps. I pay you back, you use it or rent it until I you are paid in full. From there I will resume full control and you will always have a week long timeshare to use if you like. I don’t know just ideas bouncing around in my head. I will probably just let default. It is pretty impossible to sell. I am out of options and I just want to cry.
Sorry for the rant.

Wow. He keeps the timeshare and then uses it to blackmail your own credit. What an a**hole! He can’t get out of $11,000 he owes since he signed and wanted the timeshare.
I wish lawyers were less expensive, ’cause you’ve totally got a case. I hope you get the timeshare thing figured out and the 11k.
@darkgreenwriter - That is why I made sure we signed an agreement before I left with my stuff. I was nice and said if you don’t have much money you only have to pay a minimum of $50 a month. Of course if that was all he sent it would take 18+ years to pay off. I wish the total was a bit less so that we could just take it to small claims court.
Either way thanks, I hope it gets figured out too.
