why do singaporeans think lawyers can make miracles happen?

a contract [any contract, timeshare or otherwise] needs an offer by 1 party and acceptance by the other party

similarly, if u want to terminate the contract, u normally will need both parties consent

what a lawyer can do, is to tell the party that maybe the timeshare company has made a false representation, and that if they don't allow termination, they will be sued in court...

the lawyer cannot just transfer away your liability, even if there is a sucker willing to take it from u

besides CASE, u can approach the free legal clinics conducted at many CCs in singapore for advice

the forum is a nice place to talk, but for actual assistance, u need to let the experts [CASE or lawyers] see the contract signed

not all timeshare contracts are the same...

I had went thru a meeting with Orions. It seem wad they offer is u pay a certain fee to them so they will help you to cancel your timeshare. Its about $5,000 or more.

There is a certain cashback program too. But that means u have to fork out additional money and I think the cashback is also not guaranteered one lor. So might as well skip it.

On top of it, u are suppose to join a vacation "package" where u pay think $75 annually or use their service. Sounds weird to me, why u have to do that.

Btw, read somewhere in this forum that U dun have to pay your maintenance fee if u write in to your timeshare company and terminate your membership and give up your week. Not sure if its true. If it is, then.. why waste money getting lawyers to settle your timeshare?

Anyway, I was there for 6 hours. Initially was a guy, then his boss, then the company lawyer, then his Managing director.

Erh .. felt intimidating leh. Went to LGM before, also sthg like that, a lady, then her boss, then a lawyer (who is suppose to tell u the terms) then when I really want to leave, their Managing director personally come and see me.

So, in the end, I just walked out. Too tired to even think and I had learnt enuff from my timeshare experience never to make any decision when I am tired.
