[Q=tanyad109] Unfortunately, we purchased a timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico over 20 years ago and paid it in full (after they served us several margaritas, of course). We do not use it but are paying the yearly maintenance fees. So, we called the resort office to let them know what would happen if we surrendered our time share and they told us that they would offer some sort of deed-back or surrender program but we need to send them $1000. We will proceed to do this with a contract...[/Q] It is certainly your prerogative to unnecessarily send $1,000 off to Mexico, but I respectfully submit that you could (and should) instead choose to send them [b]absolutely nothing[/b]. Just stop paying the fees and let your RTU "membership" lapse (with RTU contracts, there is no "deed", since you don't actually [b]own[/b] anything). It's your decision and your choice, but you would still achieve getting yourself "out" without sending even another penny off to Mexico.
