I returned my timeshare. I had contacted an attorney who claimed (on the phone) to have a 100% success rate (but declined to guarantee success in writing). He offered to return my timeshare for $3,000. I decided to try to work it out myself. I wrote the timeshare management company, explained why I could not use it, and offered $1600 (owing around $800 in fees). The HOA was supposed to consider it at their next Board meeting, but the rep went on maternity leave. They changed hands and lost my offer (a few times). I asked how to contact the President of the new company. Someone got back to me the next day, and after awhile they countered with around $2000. You may need to have an attorney review the document to be sure everything is binding. (There are some attorneys who will do a consultation for a reasonable fee, and it is worth it to be sure everything is covered.) They left out a couple of points that had to be added.
