A Help Button Should Go Where You Go!
To be truly independent, your personal emergency device needs to work on the go.
MobileHelp® allows you to summon emergency help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by simply pressing your personal help button. Unlike traditional systems that only work inside your home, a MobileHelp medical alert system extends help beyond the home. Now you can participate in all your favorite activities such as gardening, taking walks, shopping and traveling all with the peace of mind of having a personal alert system with you. MobileHelp, the “on-the-go” help button, is powered by one of the nation’s largest cellular networks, so there’s virtually no limit to your help button’s range.
No landline? No problem! While traditional alert systems require a landline, with the MobileHelp system, a landline is not necessary. Whether you are home or away from home, a simple press of your help button activates your system, providing the central station with your information and location. Our trained emergency operators will know who you are and where you are located. If you’re one of the millions of people that have waited for an alert service because it didn’t t your lifestyle, or settled for a traditional system even though it only worked in the home, then we welcome you to try MobileHelp. Experience peace of mind in the home or on the go.

WE CANCEL TIMESHARES
Many people believe their timeshares cannot be cancelled, but they often can be. Our founder and CEO, Chuck McDowell, has successfully helped over 30,000 families get rid of their timeshare and he can likely help you too. If you were misled, lied to, or pressured, you may have an easy exit with a 100% money back guarantee.
How Does the Cancellation Process Work?
• Start with a FREE consultation to tell your story.
• If we see that the circumstances of your situation qualify you to exit the timeshare, you’ll be assigned a specialist to walk you through the process.
• Our Resolution Department works quickly to have your timeshare and all related fees permanently terminated.
We’ve been able to help many timeshare owners that contact us. You could be one phone call away from complete peace of mind.
We have a dedicated team waiting for your call.
Don’t think for another minute that you are stuck with this. What we do is help you cancel your timeshare along with all of the debt and fees associated with it. Guaranteed.
“Wesley Financial was awesome to work with. They were professional and very understanding of the situation we were in.
Thank you all so much. This has been a huge burden and you all helped relieve that burden. Thank you.”
