You might've just purchased a timeshare in Mexico when reading this article. If you are not sure if you want to "own" a piece of paradise in Mexico, you can cancel your timeshare contract and recover your money if you purchase it within five days.
If you have purchased a timeshare in Mexico but have cold feet, it is possible to cancel your contract and recover the money you have paid so far. The cancellation of a timeshare is divided based on how long ago you purchased your membership; if you purchased within 5 business days, you should be entitled to the cancellation of the contract as well as a full refund of your deposit; if your purchase was more than 5 business days ago, do not despair, there is also help you can receive to stop paying for your timeshare.
Timeshare cancellation Letter Sample within five business days
If you purchased the timeshare within five business days from today (Saturday and Sunday don't count as business days), you can cancel your purchase by requesting it from the timeshare resort. First, you must submit a document requesting the cancellation of the contract and the refund of your money, specifying that you will expect to receive the amount paid 15 days after receiving the document. This document must include (you can find a timeshare cancellation letter sample below):
Address
Phone number
Email
Contract number
Full name
Contact information
Body of the letter where you will be requesting the cancellation
Date of the purchase
Your signature
It is important to send it during the time frame established by law and save the receipt, which endorses that the document was received within the time limit; it can be the receipt from the mailing company provided to you or a copy of a sent email.
The shipping methods that are NOT useful as evidence of your cancellation request are:
• When you hand-deliver the letter and the seller signs you a document accepting it (salesman or manager might claim the signature is not theirs).
• By fax, because the date that appears in the document can be modified.
• By phone, because everything was verbal and written evidence isn't evident of your cancellation request.
It is very important to keep all copies to show that the document was sent during the period established by the timeshare law.
Another aspect to keep in mind is that many timeshare resorts will not respond to your cancellation request, and you will, most likely, have to use the services of a lawyer or a company like Mexican Timeshare Solutions to assist you in recovering your down payment and also canceling your contract. If you submitted your cancellation request more than 15 days ago and the resort is not answering back or denying the cancellation of the contract, contact us now to explain to you how MTS can recover your deposit.
Timeshare cancellation after five business days
If your purchase was made more than five business days ago, the cancellation becomes more complicated but not impossible. The resorts will put obstacles and traps in place to avoid cancellation, but the cancellation of a timeshare contract is achievable with the assistance of MTS
Another drawback for contracts that have passed the 5-days to cancel prescribed by law is that if you don't cancel your contract property, you might be facing:
- Being sent to collections
- Having your credit rating affected
- Calls from debt collectors requesting money
- Lost any chance of recupe any money given to the resort
If you are still convinced that you no longer want to continue with your timeshare, we recommend you to use the legal path and not only stop making payments; failing to so, will definitively affect your credit score and ruin your plans prepared for the future.
The following is a sample timeshare cancellation letter that can serve as a guide to sending your letter requesting the cancellation of the contract:

Necesitamos cancelar 2 tiempos compartidos. ¿a cuanto ascienden sus honorarios?
My wife and I were also scammed with a Royal Elite timeshare in Playa del Carmen last August. They promise you everything and deliver NOTHING! We were sucked in by their promise to get us a balcony for an inside cabin rate. We do alot of cruising and thought-Wow this is really a great deal. However, it turned out to be more of a great rip off since everything they told us was a lie. Fortunately we only joined the club and NOT buy the Royal Elite timeshare membership. That was enough though. $2,000 down t he drain. They gave us 4 of those worthless vouchers for Sandos resorts which are also worthless. That HSI exchange is suppose to sell the vouchers for you at at least $500 is also abunch of bull. Please don't fall for anything that has Royal Elite's name on it. I'm in the process of calling the BBB and seeing what they can do. Possibly the attorney General also!!!!!!!!

Really nice article, I am one of the few lucky ones that ran away before they talked me into it. Sharing your experience talks very good of you. I will share your information with my friends and family in need of your services. Cheers!
Fui a Cabo San lucas en el mes de mayo de este año y compre un tiempo compartido en Villa del Palmar al 3 dia regrese porque no queria seguir con la compra y ellos me dijieron que no podia cancelar mi contrato que la unica manera era que tenia que pagar todo el down payment y que entonces podia terminar mi contrato pero ellos se iban a quedar con todo ese dinero que serian como 2,500.- dlls. y entonces me dieron mejor precio y no quiero tener problemas con mi credito porque estoy tratando de mejorarlo y por ese motivo me tube que quedar con mi contrato. Me senti muy confundida porque me trataron de una forma muy agresiva y al fin se salieron con la suya. Que puedo hacer?
