Re: WALK AWAY FROM TIMESHARE (by Dano333):

Hello. I walked away from my timeshare in Mexico 7 years ago. I was paid up, just had to keep paying the maint. fees every year, which kept going up & up. I couldn't get the weeks I wanted, even when trying to book 6 months out. I sold my weeks online, but that was becoming a headache. I went to see our family attorney, explained the situation, and he said he could help. Since I couldn't get the weeks I wanted (floating weeks) he said that the contract was null and void. He also demanded the money I spent buying the weeks (about $ 15,000) just for kicks. He explained to me that I most likely wouldn't get that money back, but it would give them something to think about. I said I didn't care about that, I just wanted to stop paying those maint. fees and put the whole sorry mess behind me. We sent those demands on his firms letterhead, and sure enough, about 5 days later I got a call from the resort. "Why sir...what's the matter?" I explained that I wanted out of the contract. She said since you don't owe anything other than the yearly fees, it would not be a problem. Holy!! After blowing money on 2 companies who said they could help me, and didn't, I realized I should have talked to my guy in the first place. I was sent some PDF files, filled them out, mailed them back to Mexico...DONE! I haven't heard from them since. BUT...I still exist on the internet. I get calls every so often asking about my timeshare. I can live with that little annoyance. Good Luck!

How do I walk away? I owe nothing on the time share, but every years annual fee. I just want to be rid of it. I paid two companies to sell the timeshare, once they took my money I never heard from them again. I am done. Can’t they just take it back?
