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.

What Consumers Need to Know about the TRACED Act

TRACED Act

*Update* On December 19, 2019, Congress voted YES to turn the tide on illegal robocalls! Now the bills to the President for signature.

Tired of those annoying robocalls that look like their coming from your next door neighbor? Or the calls that have no identifying information at all? They are selling everything from timeshares to alarm systems and everything in between. Well, help could be on the way for millions of consumers plagued by these robocalls.

In 2018, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) received 232,000 consumer complaints of unwanted calls, a nearly 35 percent increase since 2015.

The TRACED Act, also known as the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act, has recently been re-introduced into the United States Congress and could be gaining steam. The main provision of the bill will require voice service providers — telecom companies — to use call authentication technology. So those robocalls you’ve been receiving with no ID — would essentially be outlawed. If the bill passes, telecom companies will have approximately 18 months to adopt the necessary technology and comply with the requirements of the TRACED Act.

Other provisions of the TRACED Act would allow for expanded civil penalties — up to $10,000 per call – that could be levied by the Federal Communications Commission. It will also extend the time period to catch and take civil enforcement action against intentional violations from one year to three years. In addition, it will require a long list of federal and state government entities, including the Department of Justice, FCC and Federal Trade Commission to identify ways and report on improving deterrence and criminal prosecution of robocall scams.

Despite the fact that the FCC has been able to levy fines in the past as a deterrent to telemarketing companies — including levying one of the largest fines in its history last year — $120 million against one telemarketing agency — robocalls dramatically increased last year. This fact only highlights the need for the new TRACED Act to become law to protect consumers from receiving unwanted and deceptive calls and texts.

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.
