Disclaimer
Last updated August 7, 2026
ExitHonest is an independent publisher of self-help information. We are not a law firm, exit company, or debt-settlement service; we do not contact your resort, developer, or anyone else on your behalf, and we never advise you to stop making payments you owe. Timeshare laws, rescission periods, and resort programs vary and change; confirm your state's current rules and consider consulting a licensed attorney. We make no promises that any approach will end your ownership.
Not legal advice
The information on ExitHonest is provided for general educational purposes only. It is not legal, financial, tax, or other professional advice, and reading it does not create any attorney-client or advisory relationship. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. For advice about your specific contract and situation, consult a licensed attorney in your state.
Rescission periods and rules vary and change
Timeshare laws, rescission (cancellation) periods, and resort deed-back programs differ by state and by developer, and they change over time. We do not compute or assert a specific cancellation deadline for you anywhere on this site. Your cancellation window is set by the law of the state where you signed and disclosed in your contract, so confirm it there. Before you rely on anything here, read your purchase contract and your state's timeshare statute for the rule that governs your situation.
No guarantee of any outcome
ExitHonest makes no promise that any approach will end your ownership. No resort is required to accept a deed-back or surrender, and rescission is available only inside a short, state-set window. Anyone who promises a guaranteed exit is showing you a scam red-flag, not a real outcome. We give you honest self-help steps to pursue yourself; we do not and cannot guarantee a result.
We never tell you to stop paying
ExitHonest never advises you to stop making payments you owe. Unpaid maintenance fees or loan payments can be sent to collections, reported to the credit bureaus, and lead a resort to pursue foreclosure. Any approach that depends on withholding payments carries real financial and credit risk, and stop-paying advice is exactly the pattern regulators have prosecuted. Decisions about your payments are yours to make, ideally with a licensed professional.
Self-help, not representation
The letters, worksheets, and checklists on this site are self-help tools you complete and send yourself. Using them does not make ExitHonest your representative or your agent. We never call, write, or negotiate with your resort, developer, lender, or anyone else on your behalf. Every cancellation letter, deed-back request, and hardship letter is sent by you, in your own name.
We are an independent publisher
ExitHonest is an independent self-help publisher. We are not a law firm, a timeshare exit company, or a debt-settlement service, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorized to act on behalf of any resort, developer, or government body. We describe exit-company scam patterns generally; we do not name, endorse, or disparage any specific exit company.
External links
Where we link to state statutes, attorney general and FTC pages, or resort program information, we do so to point you to the authority behind a step. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or availability. A link is not an endorsement, and an outside page may change after we reference it.
How to confirm your options
When a guide names an authority, treat it as the final word. Find your cancellation clause in your contract and your state's timeshare statute, ask your own resort about any deed-back or surrender program, and consider consulting a licensed attorney before you act. If a guide and your contract or state law ever disagree, your contract and the law are correct.
