Timeshare Mortgage Cancellation
Over 40% of timeshare owners still have an outstanding mortgage when they decide to exit. Timeshare Consulting & Services Inc. negotiates with the developer and their financing arm to cancel both the contract and the mortgage, freeing you from the loan balance, maintenance fees, and all future obligations.
Why Timeshare Mortgages Trap Owners
Timeshare sales presentations use high-pressure financing to close deals on the spot. The salesperson frames a $25,000-$50,000 purchase as "only $200 per month" without adequately disclosing the full cost: 15-18% interest rates (compared to 7% for a traditional mortgage), 7-10 year loan terms, plus $1,000+ per year in maintenance fees on top of the loan payment.
The result: owners pay double the purchase price in interest while simultaneously paying escalating maintenance fees for a product that has zero resale value. The timeshare cannot be sold on the secondary market because supply vastly exceeds demand, and the developer's Right of First Refusal prevents most transfers.
Stopping payments triggers credit damage, collections, and in some states, deficiency judgments. Walking away is not a viable option. Professional mortgage cancellation is the only path that eliminates both obligations while protecting your credit.

How Timeshare Mortgage Cancellation Works
Mortgage Assessment
We review your loan documents to identify the lender (developer-financed vs. third-party), interest rate, remaining balance, and loan terms. Developer-financed mortgages (Wyndham Financial, MVW Financial, HGV Lending) give us significantly more leverage because the developer controls both the contract and the loan.
Contract Analysis
Our attorneys examine the purchase agreement and financing disclosures for Truth in Lending Act (TILA) violations, misrepresented interest rates, undisclosed fees, and state-specific lending law violations. TILA violations alone can void the financing agreement in many cases.
Dual Negotiation
We negotiate simultaneously with the developer and the lending entity. The goal is a complete release: the contract is canceled, the mortgage is forgiven or settled, and you receive written confirmation that all obligations have been resolved. We handle all correspondence and legal filings.
Written Release
You receive written confirmation that both the timeshare contract and the mortgage have been terminated. The lender confirms the loan balance is satisfied and will not be reported as a default. Your name is removed from the deed or points ownership record.
Timeshare Developer Lending Arms
Most timeshare mortgages are held by the developer's own financing subsidiary, not a traditional bank. This matters because it means the same company that sold you the timeshare also holds your loan, giving us a single point of negotiation for both the contract and the mortgage.
| Resort Developer | Financing Entity | Typical APR |
|---|---|---|
| Wyndham | Wyndham Consumer Finance | 15.9% - 17.9% |
| Marriott Vacations | MVW Financial Services | 13.5% - 16.9% |
| Hilton Grand Vacations | HGV Lending | 14.9% - 17.9% |
| Bluegreen Vacations | Bluegreen Vacations Finance | 16.5% - 18.5% |
| Westgate Resorts | Westgate Financial | 15.9% - 18.9% |
APR ranges are based on typical consumer-reported rates. Actual rates depend on credit score at time of purchase and promotional terms. Compare these to the average 30-year mortgage rate of 6-7% or average credit card rate of 21-24%.

Yes. Over 40% of the cases we handle involve an outstanding mortgage. Our attorneys negotiate with both the developer and their financing arm to resolve the total obligation, including the remaining loan balance, accumulated interest, and maintenance fee obligations.
Forgiven debt over $600 may be reported as taxable income via IRS Form 1099-C. However, the insolvency exception often applies: if your total debts exceed your total assets at the time of forgiveness, the forgiven amount may not be taxable. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation. Any tax liability is typically far less than continuing to pay the mortgage plus maintenance fees.
Stopping payments triggers credit bureau reporting (100+ point drop), collections, potential foreclosure, and in some states, deficiency judgments for the remaining balance. Professional mortgage cancellation negotiates the resolution before any default is reported, protecting your credit score.
Typically 9-18 months because it requires dual negotiation with the developer and lender. Developer-financed mortgages resolve faster (9-12 months) than third-party loans (12-18 months).
