Re: TRYING TO GET OUT OF MEXICO TIMESHARE (by Lance C.):

The first thing to warn you about is to not use any of these companies or law firms that claim they can get you out of your predicament. They might have fancy-sounding words in their names such as cancel, exit, or relief, etc. These are usually scams.

You said that you already paid $1200 into this. You have to decide for yourself whether you want to, or if it's worth it for you, to pay this off and keep it or just let it go along with the $1200.

If you decide to "let it go", then the worst you will probably face in the USA is a bunch of annoying collection calls and letters. Chances are slim that this will affect your credit rating or score. Many have come on boards like this (see also Timeshare Users Group, aka "TUG"; tugbbs.com) with similar situations like yours and have stopped paying. Most have said that they just faced collection calls and letters but no serious mark on their credit score.
