Re: My timeshare is paid in full, but I just don't want it anymore (by Lance C.):
I don't think they can sue you. If you choose to default, the worst that can happen is that you will face a barrage of annoying collection calls and letters. Hits and dings to your credit score or rating are rare in these instances.
If you do contact the resort's Homeowners' Association (not the resort's switchboard or front desk), be firm and say that you are not going to pay any more money in maintenance fees and that it would be in everybody's best interests for the resort to take the unit back otherwise the resort can go through all the pains and expenses of foreclosure.
