Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Mexico
How do I cancel a timeshare/vacation interest contract
While on vacation last June, 2005, my partner & I were pressured into
purchasing a vacation interest/timeshare in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I wish to
cancel my contract with the company Playa Del Sol PV. The contract is for 1
week, bi-ennial use of a Studio (total cost =$6210.00, not including
maintenance fees). The timeshare payments have been kept current to April
2006. I do not expect a refund of any funds that have been paid to date and
Playa del Sol can regain ownership of the contract and resell. But I do not
wish to participate in their program or be financially obligated in the future.
How do I go about a cancellation? What are my rights? If I can no longer make
payments and forfeit what action can I expect and can my U.S. credit be
affected? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Re: How do I cancel a timeshare/vacation interest contract
I would have to see the contract to know what your rights are, if any, to cancel. Of course, the contract is probably interpreted under Mexican law, and that fact may also limit the availability of any remedies against you in the U.S.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further.
