After I was done she said I'd be emailed two .pdf files for my wife and I to sign and send back to them. After that they will send me a letter stating that my contracts with the MP are over. Happy Days are here again.

Don't hold your breath waiting for that pdf file and for sure don't hold your breath waiting for a refund .... you signed a legal contract and after all these years you can't just merely null and void a signed and deeded contract just because you want to .... you evidently need to find another lawyer because he knows absolutely nothing about timeshare deeds.

I'm chuckling right now. It seems like certain people think it's impossible to challenge a big timeshare company like the Mayan Palace. Well, I thought I'd give it a try anyhow so I went to see my lawyer, who, by the way, I think I'll keep. He agreed that since I could no longer get the week or weeks I wanted, even if I tried booking 6 months out, the contract, from our viewpoint, was considered null & void. He also said he'd like my initial investment back, although he said don't expect that to happen, but, what the heck, we'll just throw that in there for good measure. He sent the email off and within 2 days I got a call at home from the Mayan Palace customer service. I explained to the lady the circumstances that led me to take this action. She listened and then said since my contract was paid up long ago and only yearly maint. fees were now due, that yes, I could end the contact. Of course I would no longer be able to book weeks since I'm giving up my membership (I could always try and go on someone else's timeshare). That's fine I said, I'm just trying to rid myself of this ongoing financial burden. Okay I was told, look for a .pdf file in your email inbox in a few days. it came as promised, myself and my wife signed it, sent photocopies of our drivers licences along with it. Shortly after a confirmation document was sent to us saying we are no longer Mayan Palace timeshare owners and have surrendered all rights and privileges as such. NO. I did not get my initial back. I wasn't expecting to, and it was in the legal language of the termination document that I would be losing that. Not a problem. I realize that some of you who read this will think I'm pulling your leg. Not to get political but "I must see Obama's birth certificate with my own eyes!", and even then it's most likely a forgery! You know who you are. For the rest of you. If you have paid off your initial investment and don't care about getting it back, you only want to stop paying your maint. fees, try what I did. SEE A LAWYER! Then have him or her email or send a letter that has their letterhead on it. By the way, I mentioned to the lady at the Mayan Palace that I had read several opinions on the internet that if you try to stop paying, all kinds of bad things will happen to you! They'll sue you, they'll destroy your credit, you'll be penalized, etc. You know what she did? She laughed! "oh, I don't know how these rumours get started. No, there is nothing wrong with trying to end a paid-up membership." There you have it. Any questions just reply to this posting.
