Do you have a case?
There are so many variables, these is no easy answer. But here
are the important issues.
Fraud - the timeshare must have committed fraud
according to Mexican law. It typically comes in two
circumstances: telling you that you cannot cancel and get all
your money back, or misrepresenting the sale. The latter
is harder to prove. There is no protection for "changing
your mind".
Money - if you have paid for your timeshare in full -
you lost your best bargaining chip. I have only heard of a
few people that have received total refunds, and they had to be
very persistent.
Time - Typically success is best within the first
year. I have heard that actual use of a week constitutes
acceptance of the sale.
The easiest case - Cancelling within 5 business days using
email to notify the resort of the cancellation.
The hardest one - (see fraud, money and time above).
The biggest one - I heard from reliable sources about 3 years
ago that one couple managed to get back over $100,000. (it took
them almost a year)
The quickest one - well, I think I still hold the record.
I was 11 days after signing the contract, emailed my
cancellation Wednesday evening and the resort agreed to cancel
my contract Saturday afternoon. Check out this site to see
how I did it.
