For years, Dave Ramsey touted, endorsed, and advertised Timeshare Exit Team’s services as a trusted company that his followers could turn to when they no longer wanted their vacation ownership.
In 2012, Brandon Reed and Trevor Hein, at the time rain gutter salesmen, formed Reed Hein and Associates, LLC. They began selling “expert” services to end vacation ownership contracts as Timeshare Exit Team despite never working in the industry.
“When we went from radio and local endorsements to Dave Ramsey, it’s like poof, the roof. We went from thousands to tens of thousands of customers,” Rein Hein said in court documents.
Timeshare owners felt comfortable handing over thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars to Timeshare Exit Team because they trusted Dave Ramsey’s recommendation.
