There are a couple different routes to take here. They can have wildly different results depending on how long you have owned your timeshare and who at Wyndham is supposedly helping you.

1. Timeshare Cancellation
The vast majority of states have consumer protection laws that allow you to cancel or rescind a timeshare purchase agreement soon after signing it. Assuming that you live in a state with favorable laws (check your state laws here), this can be one of the easier ways of getting out of a timeshare contract. Keep in mind, though, that the gulf between theory and execution can be wide.

In plain terms, don’t expect Wyndham to make a timeshare cancellation easy on you. If you can find the right phone number to call (no small feat itself), they will likely only let you go after repeated attempts to get you to stay or buy something else. And even then, if you don’t follow the terms of the law exactly, the cancellation won’t be successful, and you’ll be stuck.

Canceling a timeshare contract is a good option for people in the legal rescission period, but it is important to know what you are doing and have an experienced person at your side to make sure that it is done right. Otherwise, it might not work.

2. Wyndham Cares, or How to Get Out of Wyndham Timeshares If It Decides to Let You
If you are past the date set down by your state’s law for cancellation, you are going to have a rougher time. Wyndham does have its own in-house program, called Wyndham Cares (formerly known as Ovation), that ostensibly allows unhappy Wyndham timeshare owners to exit.

The Wyndham Cares program has a lot of caveats and exceptions that make it much less valuable than advertised. In many cases, it can make your vacation ownership problems worse.

First and foremost, Wyndham has to approve you for its exit program, and the requirement can be tough. The company usually only lets owners exit if they are up-to-date on all their payments. That means all annual maintenance fees must be paid in full. If you have a mortgage or purchase loan, it will also have to be completely repaid before Wyndham will even consider letting you out.

Unfortunately, many people are trying to exit timeshares because they can’t pay those amounts. So from the get-go, the best part of this program is barred from the people who are going to need it most.

If you have a balance on your loan, Wyndham Cares might help you find a real estate agent or timeshare resale company. But selling a timeshare is very difficult and probably won’t make you any money, even if you do manage to find a buyer. Some owners can only find buyers on sites like eBay and virtually give their units away. That’s not an acceptable option.

Even assuming you can get past all of those barriers, Wyndham doesn’t like to let its owners go without playing to keep them. Get ready to sit through another sales pitch (or three) where Wyndham reps try to convince you that leaving is a bad decision.

Or worse, they might try to entice you to purchase more Wyndham points. Owners have reported being told that buying into a new membership tier or getting more points will solve all their problems, but that’s never really true. When you find yourself in a hole, you should stop digging. When Wyndham sells you more points, it’s just helping you dig faster.

So, you can certainly try to use Wyndham Cares. If you succeed, then great. But don’t hold your breath, and be ready to pay even more money.

Dropping Everything and Running: Foreclosure
How to get out of Wyndham timeshare: keys and a Foreclosure Notice
Because the in-house exit options can be so hard, it isn’t surprising that many owners try to take things into their own hands by forcing an exit. If they are already so far behind on their fees and mortgage, they reason, why not just stop paying altogether and let Wyndham foreclose?

Allowing a foreclosure on your timeshare is a terrible idea, though. The fact that the resort takes the unit back doesn’t mean you no longer owe Wyndham money. Under the laws of most states, it can still come after you for a deficiency judgment and make you pay the balance of what you owe.

A foreclosure can also wreak havoc with your credit and prevent you from getting loans in the future.

Though some exit companies might suggest allowing a foreclosure, Centerstone Group emphatically rejects the idea. The damage to your financial health and well-being is too great to risk. The good news, though, is that there is a better way.
