This is accomplished by writing a **timeshare cancellation letter**, or **timeshare rescission letter**, as described in your purchase agreement. But how to write a **timeshare cancellation letter** is not always as simple as it sounds. If you don’t manage the **cancellation process** properly, the consequences can be grave. An improper **timeshare cancellation request** means you may be stuck with your timeshare, paying annual **maintenance fees**, special assessments, and other costs forever. (There’s still a glimmer of hope though. If you don’t do it right, [Centerstone Group](https://centerstonegroup.com/) may be able to get you out.) In this article, we’ll explain how to write a **timeshare cancellation letter**, what you need to include, how to send it, and where to turn for help navigating the process.

While there is usually a [cancellation term in the timeshare purchase agreement](https://centerstonegroup.com/timeshare-exit-team-blog/can-you-legally-get-out-of-a-timeshare-contract), it can be buried dozens of pages inside the contract. And because it spells out in black-and-white what you need to do to cancel, you have to follow those instructions exactly to make a successful timeshare exit. ### **Is There a Specific Format to Follow for a Cancellation Letter?** While there is not a one-size-fits-all template for a cancellation letter, there is an answer that will apply in every situation: Follow the exact words of your timeshare agreement. For example, let’s say in your contract that Paragraph 22 is entitled “Rescission of Contract.” That paragraph should contain all of the elements that you need to include in your letter: 1. Whom to send the letter to 2. How long you have to send it 3. Exactly what the letter needs to say You may have a form or draft cancellation letter you downloaded from the Internet. That is fine to use as a way to get started, but it is critical that you still follow every word of the cancellation provision in your contract. If you don’t, you run the risk of an unsuccessful cancellation letter. ### **So, What Key Elements Should Be Included in a Timeshare Cancellation Letter?** While following the requirements of the contract, you should keep in mind that there are a few things every cancellation letter should have. Many of these will likely be mentioned by the contract. Even if they aren’t, it is still a good idea to include them: - Your name - The name of your timeshare company (the company that signed your sales contract) - The name and address of the company to which you must send your cancellation letter – this is in your contract and it may be different from the name of the timeshare company that signed the contract - The date of the contract you are seeking to cancel - Your contract number, if you have one - The timeshare rescission period for your contract, along with the date that you are writing the letter - All amounts that you have paid and must be refunded Keep in mind that this list is not exclusive. Your contract may require more. If you’re unsure about what your contract requires, contract a professional with experience in timeshare contracts, like the team at Centerstone Group.

Plus, we’ll provide free rescission resources and guidance. ## Should I Include Supporting Documentation With My Cancellation Letter? With the exception of any documentation that your timeshare purchase agreement requires you to send, you don’t need to include supporting documentation with your cancellation letter. That means that enclosing a copy of the contract or other papers generally isn’t needed. It might be a smart idea, though, to include a list of the amounts that you have paid the timeshare developer. The reason for this is that [when you rescind a contract](https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3833&context=wlulr), you should be refunded all amounts that you have already paid. Making sure that those amounts are in writing helps create a record of the outstanding amounts as well as the fact that you requested a full refund. You might have documents showing payments that you made, like [canceled checks](https://www.sfcu.org/faqs/how-can-i-get-a-copy-of-a-canceled-cleared-check/) or receipts. Generally, you don’t need to send these with a cancellation letter. If you decide to do so, do not send the originals. Send only copies, and keep the originals for your files or later use — if, for example, you don’t get a timely refund. ## How Should I Deliver My Timeshare Cancellation Letter? ![entrepreneur-opening-an-envelope-1024x683.jpeg](https://centerstonegroup.com/hubfs/entrepreneur-opening-an-envelope-1024x683.jpeg.webp) The best way to deliver a timeshare cancellation letter is with a method that gives you evidence to prove the delivery was made. For example, certified mail with return receipt requested can tell you both when a letter is sent, when the recipient got it, and the name of the person who signed for it. You could also achieve the same effect with a courier service, like FedEx. Though these methods won’t likely be required by your timeshare contract, it is a good idea to use them. Timeshare developers can be disorganized and might miss — or even pretend they didn’t receive — your letter. In that case, they may act as though you had never even tried to cancel. That action could then force you into litigating the receipt of the letter, which could be expensive, or simply accepting that you now have to pay for a timeshare. In short, choosing a method that gives you evidence of delivery is an excellent investment when sending your cancellation letter. ## Let Centerstone Group Help You With the Tricky Timeshare Cancellation Letter Process If all of this sounds stressful, it’s because timeshare companies have made it that way.
