My mom got roped into buying a Wyndham timeshare on a trip and procrastinated herself out of the grace period. Is there anything she can do to get out of it now?

    I just stopped paying everything. The balance and the dues/fees. They threatened lawsuits and never did anything. They put debt on our credit report, waited 10 years for it to go away.

      My father did the same with a timeshare in Mexico. Every time he called to book a room they were full, even booking 8 months out. So he just stopped paying for it. They got mad and called him several times over the years.

      Finally he said ‘Fine, I want a room in 3 months time for 2 weeks. I’ll even be pay all the owed fees.’ “sorry we’re full then” ‘Ok, well then I’m never paying you a dime, stop calling me.’ that was that.

      As far as I know his credit was never hurt, but he’s also got amazing credit so maybe it was enough to offset that hit.
