Steps On How To Cancel A Timeshare Contract

By Walter Butler


For those who do not know what a timeshare contract is, it is basically an interest bought in real estate. Basically, it allows one to invest in a piece of property by shares depending on the investment amount given. From there, one will earn interest over time. Now, if one would like to exit the deal, then there are a few ways on how to cancel a timeshare contract.

Now, do take note that these contracts are rather attractive because they are low priced and offer a nice return. They are low priced basically because they are shared among several buyers. Of course, the promised ROI or return of investment is going to be pretty high to attract more buyers into the pool. The problem would be when the financial costs are computed and may eat up the ROI of the buyers.

Now, a good thing about these contracts is that they are pretty easy to get out of because there are laws that allow it. If one would enter into this sort of deal one just needs to act quickly and early if he or she wants the law to help him or her. The key here is to first know whether it is worth it or not.

If one has already entered a deal and would want to back out, the first thing he or she should do is review the agreement. It is required by law that there is a termination clause with a cancellation period wherein the buyers can opt out of the deal should he or she opt out within the cancellation period. If there is none, then seek an attorney for help.

When looking for these clauses, one has to first look for the keywords cancellation or rescission. The next thing that one has to look out for would be the cancellation period wherein a specific number of days, weeks, or months is given wherein one can terminate the deal. If those two things are not found in the agreement, then either request the seller to put it there or do not take the deal.

Knowing that, one already has to decide within the grace period whether he or she still wants to continue or not. Should he or she wish to already back out, then he or she has to write a formal letter addressed to the seller that he or she wants to back out and is within the grace period or cancellation period of backing out. Some details to include in the letter are buyer name, address, telephone number, email, contract description, deal terms, date of purchase, and statement of cancellation.

Lastly, include the reason for the termination of agreement. While this is not really required, it holds more weight in case legal action is needed. From there, send over the letter to the seller and keep a copy.

Now, there might be some people who will ask whether it is still possible to terminate after the cancellation period. It is possible in some states, but more legal action is required from then on. That is why it is better to do it the proper way instead of go through the hassle of a court case.
