Re: I need help (by Lance C.):

First and foremost, do not pay anyone or company a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or cancel your timeshare or contract.. Those are scams!

Secondly, we have to know what you have. Since it's Monarch Grand Vacations, I'm assuming it's in Mexico. If so, do you have deeded property, a Right-to-use (RTU), or a travel/vacation membership? It's important to know exactly. Check you contract carefully to determine this.

Another important thing to know is what its resale value is. The majority of these things in Mexico, believe it or not, have a resale value of about zero. Understanding this will help you avoid falling victim to scams and will help you determine your best course of action.

I will assume at this moment that it is either an RTU or a club membership. If that is the case and your unit or membership is worth about zero, what most people in this situation do is simply stop paying maintenance fees. The resort or club will probably send you collection letters and phone calls. They might sound threatening. It might also affect your credit rating. Or the other thing you can try is to contact the resort or membership club and explain your situation saying that you wish to discontinue your contract and that you will be paying no more money into this.
