Get answers to the most frequently asked questions in the timeshare cancellation industry.
How do timeshare contracts work?
Timeshares offer the appeal of resort-style vacations without full ownership—but it’s essential to understand what you’re actually committing to.
When you purchase a timeshare, you’re essentially buying the right to use a vacation property—such as a house, condo, or resort unit—for a set period of time each year. You may benefit from predictable vacation scheduling and potential cost savings if you return frequently.
However, it’s important to note: you don’t own the property itself. You only own a share of time, not the real estate. While you’re often called a “timeshare owner,” that ownership is limited to your specific usage window.
If you ever decide that your timeshare no longer fits your lifestyle, you have options. You might be able to:
Request cancellation through the developer or resort,
Sell or transfer it,
Donate it to a charity (if eligible), or
Rent out your usage time.

Why opt for timeshare cancellation?
Getting help from a timeshare cancellation company can be a smart move if you’re trying to get out of the financial strain of owning a timeshare.
Timeshare exit companies are really good at dealing with the complicated steps needed to cancel timeshare contracts, which usually involve legal details and very precise rules in the timeshare contract.
People might use these services to get expert help in talking to resorts, understanding complicated terms, and figuring out the best way to leave their timeshare.
A timeshare cancellation company offers knowledge and support, guiding clients through the confusing world of timeshare agreements. Their goal is to free clients from the financial and contractual pressures of their timeshare deals.
What are the two types of timeshare contracts?
SHARED DEEDED TIMESHARE CONTRACTS
A deeded timeshare contract grants you partial ownership of a vacation property through a shared deed. This means you—and other timeshare holders—collectively hold legal title to the property. It’s comparable to owning a slice of a condo or resort unit, typically for one specific week each year.
Unlike rental or lease-based agreements, deeded timeshares offer actual real estate ownership, which includes a property deed. This ownership is generally perpetual, with no defined end date, and can be sold, inherited, gifted, or rented—just like any other piece of real estate.
However, because it is legally considered property, it can also be subject to foreclosure if maintenance fees or other financial obligations go unpaid.
Points-Based Timeshare Contracts
Rather than owning part of a specific property, a points-based timeshare allows you to purchase vacation points that can be redeemed for stays at a variety of resorts within the developer’s network.
This system offers greater flexibility, letting you choose different locations, unit sizes, or travel dates—based on point availability. However, it does not provide legal property ownership, and the value of your points may decrease during high-demand seasons, limiting availability or requiring more points for the same stay.

Should I stop making my mortgage or maintenance fee payments?
Important Notice About Your Timeshare Payments
At Consumer Resolution Group, we strongly advise clients to continue honoring all contractual obligations to their resort until you are officially released from them.
We do not recommend stopping any mortgage or maintenance fee payments. Your resort contract is presumed valid under the law, and defaulting may actually reduce your options for a successful cancellation. In our experience, working with your resort from a position of good faith and mutual respect leads to more favorable outcomes.
If you’re already behind on payments, please inform your Intake Officer as soon as possible so we can factor that into your case strategy.
Before offering any guidance, we perform a thorough evaluation of your case. No one on our team—especially non-attorney staff—is authorized to instruct you to stop making payments. If someone has advised you otherwise, please notify your Case Manager immediately.
⚠️ Please note: Stopping payments may negatively affect your credit score, even if your timeshare is located outside the United States.
Your financial well-being is our priority, and we’re here to help you navigate this process responsibly and effectively.
Can I continue to use my timeshare during the cancellation process?
No, you should not use your timeshare while your cancellation case is active.
If you are currently using and enjoying your timeshare, pursuing a legal and permanent cancellation may not be the most appropriate option for you.
Our services are designed as a last resort, typically for owners who no longer find value in their timeshare and want a complete and final exit. If you still wish to use your timeshare, we recommend either continuing to enjoy it or exploring alternative solutions to improve your contract terms.
How Long Does the Timeshare Exit Process Take?
The timeline for a successful timeshare cancellation can vary widely, depending on several key factors. On average, the process takes between 6 to 18 months, but some cases may resolve sooner—or take longer—based on individual circumstances.
⏱️ Factors That Affect the Timeline:
Type of Timeshare Contract: Deeded vs. right-to-use or points-based systems may involve different legal steps.
Resort Cooperation: Some developers respond promptly to negotiations, while others may delay or resist cancellation efforts.
Delinquency Status: If you’re current on your payments, the process may move faster. If you’re behind, additional steps may be needed.
Documentation and Communication: Timely submission of requested documents and open communication can help prevent delays.
Legal Complexity: Some cases require attorney involvement or regulatory filings, which can extend the timeline.
