If Club Med has turned into Club Dread, then you\u2019re in good company. A whopping 85% of people who purchase a timeshare regret their decision.1<\/sup> But getting out of a timeshare agreement isn\u2019t easy. Smooth-talking salespeople are trained to keep you in your contract, or worse, upsell you or renegotiate your contract when you try to cancel.\n <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the bad news: Canceling a timeshare is an Olympic-level endurance sport. It\u2019s going to take time. But the good news is, it can be done. You can get out of a timeshare and kick all those nasty fees and rigid schedules to the curb. And once you\u2019re free from your timeshare, you can go where you want, when you want.\n <\/p>\n

But first things first. Start your timeshare cancellation process with a letter to your timeshare company. Let\u2019s take a look at the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts for how to write a timeshare cancellation letter.\n <\/p>\n

The Do\u2019s: How to Write a Timeshare Cancellation Letter<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve reached your boiling point when it comes to your timeshare, it\u2019s time to take action. But before you send off a 10-page letter, stop. Take a deep breath, collect your thoughts and then when you\u2019re feeling calm, draft your letter. Here\u2019s how to do it.\n <\/p>\n

1. Get your cancellation request in writing.<\/h3>\n

You cannot skip this step. (In fact, go ahead and buy yourself a folder where you can keep all your timeshare cancellation-related records. You\u2019re going to need it.) Your cancellation request isn\u2019t an email. It needs to be a typed letter, printed out and mailed to your timeshare provider. Keep a copy for your records.\n <\/p>\n

2. Include a clear request to cancel your timeshare.<\/h3>\n

You must be very, very clear that you are writing to cancel your timeshare. You don\u2019t have to be a jerk, but you do need to be firm. Your subject line (yes, printed letters can have subject lines too) should say something like, \u201cRequest to Cancel Timeshare,\u201d or \u201cTimeshare Cancellation Request.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

In the body of your letter, you need to state your request as early as possible. Do it in the first one or two sentences. Remember, this process is going to take some time, so do yourself as many favors as you can along the way. Get to the point and don\u2019t beat around the bush. You can open by saying, \u201cI am writing to request immediate cancellation of my timeshare contract,\u201d or \u201cThis letter is a formal request to immediately terminate my timeshare contract.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

3. List all the important details.<\/h3>\n

The job of the person receiving your timeshare cancellation letter is to prevent you from canceling your timeshare. Plain and simple. Your job is to include all the details they need in order to keep your request moving. They\u2019ll love nothing more than if you forget to include key information. That just buys them more time to ignore you or convince you to stay. Don\u2019t give them that opportunity!\n <\/p>\n

In your timeshare cancellation letter, make sure you include the following details:\n <\/p>\n
