Many timeshares want out of their contracts. They are tired of paying the maintenance fees, or personal circumstances do not allow them to go on vacation, or merely because they don’t like the timeshare model. While canceling the contract yourself, the first idea that comes to mind is there are several legal aspects of timeshare you need to understand.

First, you have to prove which law the timeshare contract breaches. While this seems easy on the surface, it’s quite hard to prove, especially if several laws govern your contract. For instance, if you’re from the U.S and you took your contact in Spain, then you have to invoke the Spanish Civil Code in any attempt to free yourself from the timeshare contract. In the U.S, things get more complicated because each state has its laws on timeshare. Any attempts to free yourself from the contract without legal assistance are mostly futile and the cause of many headaches.

The only way to free yourself from the torture, without the associated headaches, is if you’re ill and unable to vacation, or if you are above 75 years. Companies that claim to offer Timeshare Relief, that is transfer timeshare, don’t fare well either according to Timeshare Relief BBB reviews. The Bureau of Better Business notes that there are numerous complaints of customers not having their timeshare transferred. Some customers complain that there was no action from the company even after a year of signing up with the enterprise.

What’s worse is that consumers are often billed regularly even though the company does nothing to ease their timeshare burden. When the customers try to contact the company for updates, they are often stonewalled, which is another major complaint against the company with the Bureau of Better Business website.

When the Business of Better Bureau contacted the company about the complaints, the company advised that the clients failed to turn in their timeshare documentation in the required period which occasioned the delay and the extra maintenance fee. The company also noted that in some cases where the clients did turn up the ownership documents, the resorts failed to acknowledge the documentation, leaving the business with no course of action. The company is currently working with the resorts to resolve the issue.

It seems that timeshare never worked out for anyone. The question now is, can people find a better alternative to timeshare? Of course, there is. The no more Timeshare is a movement of former timeshare resorts that want to offer a better way to vacation. Their freestyle vacation model is not hindered by laws like timeshare, meaning it’s straightforward to get out of the contract. In fact, if you don’t like the vacationing model, you get your money back, as simple as that.
