There are several options to cancel your Club Melia timeshare. You may decide to:
In this article, we will cover each strategy in-depth. If you are still in the timeshare rescission period or are unsure if you might be, then check out our timeshare rescission resources here.
The first option to cancel your Club Melia timeshare worth exploring is selling your timeshare. However, this option is only available for paid-off timeshares. The first step is figuring out how marketable your timeshare is.
It would be best if you answered these questions as objectively as possible:
We recommend seeking professional advice, but this can be time-consuming and a bit tricky because many timeshare resale companies try to charge exorbitant prices to list your timeshare. We have found that more often than not, these entities are more concerned with getting a prepaid marketing fee than the successful sale of your timeshare.
Additionally, it is a fact that there are more timeshares listed than prospective timeshare buyers. Often, timeshare supply exceeds demand, which is why many timeshare listings are set for $1 on sites like eBay. Another consideration is the amount of time it may take to sell the timeshare and that you must continue paying the maintenance fees while your timeshare is listed.
Remember, most people today avoid timeshares because of the bad reputation they have within our society. The word timeshare is synonymous with scams, and most travelers today would instead use Airbnb or book a hotel at market prices rather than be tied to a monthly or annual maintenance fee that always tends to go up.
Suppose you're still committed to selling your Club Melia timeshare. In that case, we recommend checking with Allied Transfers to get a realistic assessment of the likelihood of selling your timeshare and what you can expect to pay to transfer the timeshare. Allied Transfers offers the most affordable package for listing, transferring, and selling your timeshare that we have found (plus, they do all the work).
This option may sound easy and like a great idea, but it is the riskiest way to get rid of your timeshare. When attempting to donate or give away your Club Melia timeshare, you will seek out friends and family who may be willing to accept your timeshare. Many states and many timeshare developer by-laws hold an initial owner accountable if the future owner defaults or fail to pay the timeshare maintenance fees or club dues.
Most recently, Florida amended their timeshare laws to make it harder for timeshare owners to transfer their timeshares consequence-free. Florida Statute XL, Chapter 721, Section 17, Paragraph 1.e is the most concerning piece of the legislation and states:
“That the obligations of the transferee under such instrument will continue to exist despite any cancellation or rejection of the contracts between the developer and purchaser arising out of bankruptcy proceedings.”
Most experts agree that extensive lobbying was responsible for the law's passage. State Rep. Eric Eisnaugle, who co-sponsored the bill, received donations from timeshare industry lobbyists before introducing the legislation.
What this means for anyone who wants to cancel a Club Melia timeshare is that doing so without proper guidance could have long-term legal consequences and may put the original timeshare owners at undue risk. Therefore out of all the strategies listed to cancel a Club Melia timeshare, we recommend talking with your attorney before undertaking this option.
This option may sound like a great idea when considering canceling your Club Melia timeshare. However, this strategy can be hazardous for most timeshare owners because Club Melia has only one fiduciary obligation to its shareholders: make more money. By agreeing to let you out of your timeshare contract, they are financially responsible for your maintenance costs, taxes, and club dues until they can again sell your timeshare points or weeks.
If you look carefully at most timeshare developers’ websites that offer take-back or internal exit programs, they will disclose that they are still going to attempt to sell you more points or weeks.
Shocking as it is, their thought process is simple: if you want out of your timeshare, then it’s likely you are not satisfied with your vacations or some other component of their program.
If you feel that it is in your best interest to contact Club Melia directly, then follow these steps to ensure you don’t get stuck with more timeshare fees and debt:
Again, trying to work things out with Club Melia will be akin to negotiating the cessation of nuclear proliferation with Kim Jong Un. The sole purpose of Club Melia is to make money by selling timeshare - not accepting timeshares back into their portfolio, which ultimately hurt profits. Another primary consideration before attempting to go this route is that if you are unsuccessful in your negotiations, it will be nearly impossible for any other entity to assist you in canceling your timeshare.
