[PRWeb press release] -- Timeshare Insights, an American consulting company that provides independent information about timeshare and serves millions of timeshare consumers, warns of an alarming rise in the number and veracity of organizations claiming to help timeshare owners. Consumers who own timeshare or are interested in vacation ownership can benefit from awareness of these illegitimate advocates.

“Consumers need to be educated and use more common sense when dealing with these so-called consumer advocacy groups, which more often than not, end up causing more serious problems,” said Lisa Ann Schreier, the director and founder of Timeshare Insights (http://www.timeshareinsights.com). Schreier, who is known as “The Timeshare Crusader,” is also the author of two best-selling books that help consumers who are troubled by the timeshare industry’s lack of readily available information. She also maintains her own Q&A Forum which consumers can access at no cost at RedWeek.com.

Schreier cautions consumers to not enter into any agreement in haste or out of fear noting that many timeshare owners originally purchased their timeshare without asking the necessary questions which lead to their current situation. “Timeshare provides incredible vacation experiences for millions of people, but it shouldn’t be purchased on a whim."
