Understanding the Fine Print

The timeshare contract often contains considerable “legalese” that is written in the fine print. The key to cancelling your timeshare is understanding this fine print2. Without a legal background, this can be difficult. However, you can enlist the help of an attorney to analyze your contract and determine the best means of escape. Normally, there is something called a “rescission window” during which you can exit your timeshare without too much hassle. Things become more problematic if your rescission window has passed – but an attorney can still help with a variety of exit strategies. 

Writing a Timeshare Cancellation Letter

One of the most important parts of your timeshare cancellation is the cancellation letter. In this letter, you will clearly communicate your desire to end your timeshare agreement. It’s important to choose your words carefully in this scenario, and you will need to be as detailed as possible. That being said, you should also avoid being too wordy or overly emotional. Your attorney can certainly help you draft an effective timeshare cancellation letter. 

When is it Time to Sue?

If all else fails, you can actually sue the timeshare company for preventing you from leaving your timeshare agreement. While this is typically a last resort, it is possible – and sometimes it is the only real option that remains. Obviously, you will need assistance from a qualified attorney to file a lawsuit against the timeshare company, and you can expect a lengthy trial process if the company is intent on not backing down.
