You're very lucky if foreclosure is "painless" ...

[Q=janm250] If one does NOT have a deeded interest or were the member of a "vacation club" so that a judicial foreclosure would NOT be necessary, what would the appropriate action be to remove oneself from a timeshare ownership? Thank you.[/Q] Your question seems a little confusing. Anyway, to "remove oneself from a timeshare ownership", you must sell it or give it away to a willing taker. You can ask the resort's Home Owners Association (HOA) if it will accept your timeshare back instead of foreclosure (which is a very costly and laborious process for the HOA). Some will accept them back. You can advertise here on RedWeek that you want to sell your timeshare even for only $1. Timeshare Users Group (aka: TUG; tugbbs.com) has a Bargain Deals section where, you can post ads that you want to give away your timeshare. Just follow the instructions at the top of that page. But never pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or "cancel" your timeshare.
