Timeshare Cancellation Services
Timeshare Consulting & Services Inc. has canceled over 5,000 timeshare contracts across all major resort developers since 2010. Our attorney-guided cancellation process terminates your contract, ends maintenance fee obligations, and protects your credit score. Zero upfront fees.
The Financial Case for Canceling Your Timeshare
The average timeshare owner pays $1,120 per year in maintenance fees alone, according to the American Resort Development Association's 2024 State of the Industry report. Over a 20-year ownership period, that totals $22,400 in maintenance fees before accounting for special assessments, exchange fees, and the 8-12% annual fee increases most developers impose.

The 4-Step Cancellation Process
Free Case Review
A timeshare exit specialist reviews your contract, purchase history, and financial obligations. We assess the strength of your case and provide a realistic timeline and cost estimate. This consultation is free and carries no obligation.
Contract Analysis
Our legal team examines your purchase agreement for misrepresentations made during the sales presentation, violations of state consumer protection laws, undisclosed fee escalation clauses, and contractual provisions that support cancellation. Every state has different rescission periods and consumer protection statutes we leverage.
Developer Negotiation
We communicate directly with the resort developer's legal and compliance departments. Our attorneys file formal cancellation demands citing specific contract violations, consumer protection complaints with state attorneys general, and escalation to the developer's corporate office. We handle all correspondence so you never have to speak with the developer.
Written Confirmation
You receive written confirmation from the resort developer that your contract has been terminated. This letter confirms that all future maintenance fee obligations, special assessments, and mortgage balances have been resolved. Your name is removed from the deed or points ownership record.
State Rescission Periods for Timeshare Cancellation
Every state with timeshare resorts has a mandatory rescission period (also called a cooling-off period) during which buyers can cancel a timeshare purchase with a full refund and no penalty. If you purchased your timeshare recently, you may still be within this window.
| State | Rescission Period | Governing Statute |
|---|---|---|
| Florida | 10 calendar days | FL Stat. §721.10 |
| Nevada | 5 calendar days | NRS 119A.410 |
| South Carolina | 5 calendar days | SC Code §27-32-40 |
| Arizona | 7 calendar days | ARS §32-2197.17 |
| California | 7 calendar days | CA Bus. & Prof. Code §11024 |
| Colorado | 5 calendar days | CRS §12-61-1004 |
| Hawaii | 7 calendar days | HRS §514E-11 |
| Missouri | 5 business days | MRS §407.625 |
| Tennessee | 15 calendar days | TCA §66-32-115 |
| Texas | 6 calendar days | TX Prop. Code §221.041 |
| Virginia | 7 calendar days | VA Code §55.1-2217 |
This table covers the most common timeshare purchase states. Other states have rescission periods ranging from 3 to 15 days. Even if your rescission period has passed, legal cancellation remains possible through other consumer protection channels.

Request Free ConsultationCommon Questions About Canceling a Timeshare
Most cancellations take 6 to 18 months. Wyndham and Bluegreen cases tend to resolve in 6-12 months. Marriott and Hilton cases may take 12-18 months due to more aggressive legal departments. We provide a realistic timeline during your free consultation based on your specific developer and contract type.
Yes. Timeshare cancellation is legal in all 50 states. Every state has consumer protection laws, rescission periods, and contract remedies that allow owners to exit timeshare agreements. The FTC's Cooling-Off Rule also provides federal protections. Our attorneys use these legal frameworks to negotiate cancellations directly with resort developers.
Cancellation permanently terminates the contract and all future obligations. Transfer moves ownership to another party, which may not relieve you of all financial responsibility. Cancellation is the cleaner exit for most owners because it eliminates the maintenance fee obligation entirely rather than passing it to someone else.
Yes. Inherited timeshares are often easier to cancel because the new owner never agreed to the original terms and never attended a sales presentation. Many states have specific protections for successors who inherit contractual obligations they did not voluntarily assume.
Not when handled through a professional cancellation firm. We negotiate directly with the developer while your account remains in good standing. Owners who stop paying without professional help risk collections, foreclosure, and credit score damage of 100+ points.
TCS charges zero upfront fees. Our fee depends on case complexity: the developer, contract type, outstanding mortgage, and state of purchase. During your free consultation, we provide a transparent quote. Compare that to the $58,000+ in maintenance fees you would pay over the next 20 years if you keep the timeshare.
