Terminate US Timeshare Contract

Why Owners Wish To Cancel

There are many reasons that owners wish to offload the burden of their timeshare contract. 

Below you will find some reasons why consumers of timeshare products want to terminate their ownerships.

• Ever increasing maintenance fees making the ownership either unaffordable or not financially viable.
• Lack of availability.
• Mis-selling.
• Inability to travel, maybe due to health or lack of funds.

If you can no longer afford your timeshare due to specific changes to your financial situation then you may be able to exit your timeshare contract. For example, if you have been made redundant, have been declared bankrupt or your financial situation has dramatically changed, then you may have grounds for termination. However, your resort or developer will not make this a walk in the park, therefore we would always advise you to employ the services of a specialist.

Should your timeshare have been mis-sold and this can be proven then most certainly there will be a way to legally exit your timeshare contract. There are many instances of mis-selling and the majority of resorts tick each and every box. 

Examples of mis-selling & consumer mis-representation

• Irresponsible selling of financial packages
• Sold as an investment
• Deposit taken on the day or during mandatory cooling off period
