We have a timeshare that is completely paid for, and maintenance fees current. We do not want this timeshare. Biggest ripoff ever. Tried approaching timeshare to request deedback - they refused. Can anyone tell me what happens, legally, if we just walk away from it? What actions can/will a timeshare company take to come after you? [Q=lancec13] "I would like to know how you approached the resorts directly to get them to buy back your timeshare. Could you provide more details so I can try it as well." Let's clarify one thing. The resort will not buy it back from you. It might take your unit back. It will probably charge you closing costs and perhaps even the next maintenance fee. Make sure that you are up to date on your maintenance fees and mortgage. But you best bet would be to try to contact the resort's Homeowners' Association (HOA) and ask to speak to someone in charge. Explain your situation and perhaps even tell them, in no uncertain terms, that you are not paying another dime in maintenance fees (other than the next year's fee in exchange for the HOA to take the unit back) and that it would be in the best interests of all involved if the resort would amicably take it back.[/Q]
