Peter Greenberg: Hotel Refunds

Why won't the Holiday Inn in Boardman, Ohio, let me cancel a reservation? I made it on April 7, 2008 for a date at the end of May 2008, and I was told that I agreed to pay the rate when I thought that all I was doing was confirming the reservation. I need some help for this. Thank you. –William, Summerville, Tenn.

Peter Greenberg: I Want to Get Rid of my Timeshare!

Q: I foolishly purchased two time-share weeks many years ago and want to get rid of them. I've lost a lot of money trying to get them listed but have never heard back after they cashed my checks. I know there must be others in this situation who keep paying yearly maintenance fees to avoid legal trouble. If I just stop paying the maintenance fees, what is the worst that can happen to me? Please help! -Marion, Richmond, Va.
