How do you cancel a timeshare contract?

Canceling a timeshare contract typically requires reviewing your agreement, confirming whether you are still within the legal rescission (cooling-off) period, and taking immediate written action. If the rescission window has passed, you may still be able to cancel through consumer-protection laws, misrepresentation claims, or a formal legal exit process. The timeshare cancellation attorneys at Finn Law Group can identify leverage points and guide you through a legitimate cancellation strategy.

How do I get out of a timeshare without ruining my credit?

To exit without damaging your credit, avoid stopping payments without a plan or using risky transfer companies. Working with the licensed timeshare attorney at Finn Law Group can help ensure the contract is canceled legally, protecting your credit from foreclosure or collections.

How much does it cost to get out of a timeshare?

Costs vary based on resort, loan status, and legal needs. Finn Law Group uses transparent flat-fee structures based on the facts of your situation. A free case evaluation will provide a more accurate review of your unique case and potential costs.

Can lawyers get you out of a timeshare?

Yes. The licensed attorneys at Finn Law Group can negotiate, identify violations, and take legal action when needed. We provide enforceable cancellation outcomes that non-lawyer companies cannot.

How do I get out of my timeshare legally?

Getting out of a timeshare legally requires using approved, enforceable methods that comply with state contract laws and consumer-protection regulations. If you are still within your statutory rescission period, you can cancel immediately by sending a written notice as required by your contract. If that window has closed, legal exit is still possible through claims of misrepresentation, contract violations, or unfair sales practices. The licensed timeshare attorneys at Finn Law Group will review your documents, identify legal grounds for cancellation, negotiate directly with the developer, and take formal action if necessary. Legal cancellation ensures your exit is permanent, documented, and protective of your credit and financial interests.

Can You Refuse to Inherit a Timeshare?

Yes, in some situations, you can refuse or disclaim a timeshare inheritance. When a timeshare is passed down, the inheritor may also inherit ongoing maintenance fees, special assessments, and contractual obligations that continue indefinitely. Whether you can legally decline depends on the structure of the ownership, the language of the will, and state inheritance laws. An attorney can review your situation and help you avoid taking on unwanted financial liabilities.

What Is a Timeshare Exit Company?

A timeshare exit company is a private business that claims to help consumers cancel their timeshare contracts. However, they are not law firms, they cannot provide legal representation, they cannot defend consumers if the resort takes action, and many rely on template letters that carry little legal weight. While some exit companies offer administrative assistance, only a licensed attorney can provide legal advice, negotiate directly with resorts, or represent you in a dispute.

Are Timeshare Cancellation Guarantees Legitimate?

Many timeshare exit companies advertise 100% money-back guarantees, but these promises are often misleading, unenforceable, or filled with loopholes. Most cancellation guarantees are not backed by licensed attorneys, contain contract language allowing the company to avoid refunds, do not protect consumers from timeshare developer actions, and do not ensure a legally valid cancellation. For a true legal cancellation or dispute resolution, consumers typically need licensed legal counsel, not third-party guarantees.

Can a Timeshare Company Legally Enforce a Contract?

Yes. Timeshare developers can enforce the terms of your timeshare contract and may take legal action if you stop paying maintenance fees, rent, sell, or transfer the interest without approval, or violate the terms of the ownership agreement. Developers rely heavily on long-term fee revenue, so they have a strong financial incentive to keep owners bound to their contracts. Legal representation can help protect your rights during any dispute or cancellation effort.

Timeshare & Consumer Protection News from around the Globe.

Take a look at the latest articles we are reading about robocalls and the timeshare industry.

Robocalls: Why they must be stopped!

Adding your number to the federal Do Not Call registry is moderately effective for avoiding traditional telemarketers but useless for escaping fraudulent robocalls.

Don’t fall for the common scams.

Many Americans have been called by a fake Social Security Administration representative, who claims that the recipient’s Social Security number is compromised, asks for the number, and then uses it to commit identity theft. (In reality, the IRS and SSA don’t make unrequested telephone calls.) Other scams offer 0 percent interest rates or predatory health-care deals, timing these calls for tax season and ObamaCare sign-up periods.

We contacted Finn Law Group about getting out of our timeshare and were so happy with the advice they gave us. Instead of charging us, they told us exactly what steps to take with our timeshare company, and it worked! In the end, we were able to get released from our contract for a fraction of what we thought it would cost. We really appreciate their honesty and guidance and would definitely recommend them.
