"Cancelling" timeshare... (by KC):

...that was the initial consultation and the writing of the cancellation letter. A little less than 2 months payments. It gave me some piece of mind, allowed me to ask questions and he will be there in the future should I need advice. I think it also helps when the cancellation letter is written with a lawyer on the letterhead. I don't think Royal Holiday likes it when lawyers are involved.

I respectfully submit that your story is a bit difficult to comprehend or believe as presented. NO ONE (including the very best attorneys) can just unilaterally "cancel" a timeshare, which is a legally binding contractual obligation. Accordingly, your reference to a "cancellation letter" frankly has me just scratching my head in puzzlement. Contractual obligations can't just be "cancelled", like one might "cancel" home delivery of a newspaper, or "cancel" a premium channel subscription on cable TV service. Contracts are (usually) carefully crafted legally binding instruments. It takes TWO cooperating parties to voluntarily execute a lawful contract and it takes TWO cooperating parties to void a lawfully executed contract. It isn't just a "one way street" to be driven at the whim of just one party , so the very phrase "timeshare cancellation" quite simply makes no legal (or logical) sense.

Are you perhaps actually referring to rescission, which is a contract cancellation right provided to EVERYONE under applicable state law, with cancellation (rescission) time periods varying between 3-10 days (depending entirely upon the individual state)? If so, then you never actually needed a lawyer AT ALL to submit a letter of rescission; you could have done that for yourself in two brief sentences and the cost of USPS certified mail postage.
