Owners looking to cancel a Diamond timeshare have a few options available to them, depending on the amount of time they have owned their timeshare. However, remember that Diamond wants owners to remain with them for as long as possible, so exiting Diamond timeshare ownership is not a simple process.
So-called timeshare exit companies often make claims that they can complete the cancellation process on behalf of owners, but for a huge fee.
There really is no need for owners to pay huge upfront fees to hire an exit company or timeshare exit attorney to cancel their Diamond timeshare. In fact, many such companies have been rejected in court and have led to attorney disbarment and company bankruptcy. Owners can take control of the process themselves, but timing is important.
Of course, the best way to cancel a Diamond Resorts timeshare is to sell it and get some money back for your efforts, rather than just hoping Diamond will take it back. Find out how to sell it by filling out our form and we'll be in contact as soon as possible.
Rescission Process
Most states have a regulatory requirement in place allowing owners to cancel their timeshare ownership in a matter of days after purchasing the timeshare. The standard timeframe is 10 days from the purchase date, but you will want to research the state in which you purchased to find out the exact time limit in that state. Some can be as little as five days, others as long as 14. Since Diamond Resorts operates in 33 states in the U.S. as well as internationally, your rescission process is dependent on the state or national law in which the contract is signed.
The rescission process will be stated in your purchase contract and will require a written request from you. Make sure you review that section of your agreement and follow the process to the letter so Diamond does not find a procedural reason to disapprove your request to cancel your timeshare.
Transitions Program
If you are beyond the time period to rescind your ownership, Diamond has an internal timeshare exit program whereby you may be able to relinquish your ownership back to them. Â Known as Transitions by Diamond Resorts, owners can contact Diamond directly to see if they qualify for the program. This is designed for long term owners who have held their ownership for a period of years and are looking to give it back to the resort.
Handled on a case-by-case basis, the steps for this program involve criteria such as:
No loans or any liens placed onto your timeshare
Current on all maintenance fees
Clear title of ownership
No future travel booked to use your timeshare
Since this program is managed solely at the discretion of Diamond Resorts and several conditions apply, there is no guarantee that owners will be able to cancel their ownership. So-called hardship cases where the owner’s health or financial status is in question are also considered, but again there are no guarantees and often it incurs a transfer fee to be paid by the owner.
