The Timeline of a Typical Timeshare Cancellation Case

Maybe it started with a weekend in Hilton Head. Or a free dinner. Or a high-pressure pitch while you were on vacation in Myrtle Beach. Now you’re stuck with a timeshare from Marriott, Wyndham, Hilton, Hyatt, or Spinnaker, and you want out.

If you’re wondering how long it takes to cancel a timeshare and what the process looks like, here’s a clear step-by-step breakdown from the team at Connor Law, PC in Mount Pleasant, SC. We’ve helped many clients walk away from these contracts for good and we’re ready to help you, too.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Case Review

We start with a conversation. You tell us what happened: where you bought, what you were told, and what’s happened since. We’ll review your situation and let you know if you’ve got a case worth pursuing. What You’ll Need:

• A copy of your timeshare contract
• Any emails, letters, or call logs from the timeshare company
• A basic timeline: When did you buy? What were you promised? When did things start going sideways?

We’ll use this to assess whether there were deceptive sales practices or contract terms that give us legal leverage. If we can help, we’ll tell you exactly how we’ll do it—and what it will cost.

Step 2: Case Strategy and Legal Prep

Once you hire us, we get to work building your case. That includes:

• Digging into your contract to spot misrepresentations, hidden terms, or violations
• Drafting a demand letter that puts the timeshare company on notice
• Shielding you from collection: The moment we step in, all collection company communication has to go through us—not you

If you’re behind on payments or getting collection calls, that pressure stops here.

Step 3: Negotiation Phase

Most of the time, we can negotiate a resolution directly with the timeshare company. Why? Because they know they don’t want this to go to court, and they know we’re not bluffing. This part of the process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on:

• The company involved (some are slower than others)
• How aggressive their reps are
• Whether your timeshare is paid off, or you still owe money

We handle all of this on your behalf. You don’t have to talk to another timeshare salesperson again.

Step 4: Resolution and Exit

Once the cancellation is confirmed, we make sure all loose ends are tied up:

• You get written confirmation from the timeshare company
• We verify that you’re released from any mortgage or maintenance obligations
• We make sure no further collection activity takes place

We’ll walk you through what to expect and what to keep for your records so you’re fully in the clear.

So, How Long Does it Take to Get Out of a Timeshare?

Every case is different, but most cancellations resolve within 12 to 18 months. Some take longer, especially if the timeshare has a large balance owed or the company refuses to cooperate. Either way, we’ll keep you updated at every step.

Don’t Wait. The Clock Isn’t on Your Side.

If you’re stuck in a timeshare contract with Marriott, Wyndham, Hilton, Hyatt, Spinnaker—or any other developer—it’s not going to fix itself. Fees will keep rising. Point values will keep changing. And the pressure to “upgrade” or “buy more” won’t stop.

Call Connor Law, PC today. We’ll give you a clear answer about your options, a flat fee with no hidden costs, and a plan to get you out for good.

You’re not the only one who got talked into a bad deal. But you don’t have to stay in it.
