Thank you I did and definitely not going to sign up with anyone.
Sorry you are in this situation. Out of 22 mortgage defaults reported on TUG, 13 got reported to the credit agencies. Does the TS have your SSN in the financial paperwork? If not, it will be hard to report to the credit agencies, especially if you have a common name.

@Priya P We hope you are well and healthy. If you made the difficult decision to default, please kindly let us know if your credit got affected. It would help tuggers in similar situations moving forward.

Sunset royal
Hi to everyone here
My membership purchase agreement with Sunset Royal ends this Dec 31,2020. Upon calling the member services, they informed me there’s an addendum that says it’s a lifetime membership.
does it mean I can still end my membership as per the contract date?

Do you have the addendum? If not, they need to send it to you to show where you signed it.

It does say lifetime membership. Isn’t the addendum tied up to the contract?
@DArk We are you are well and healthy. If you made the difficult decision to default, mind sharing if your credit got affected? It would help tuggers in similar situations moving forward.

Following this thread, since we also have a lifetime Sunset membership (Fishermen's Village in Playa Del Carmen since 2005). We tried to give it back and Sunset refused. We are permanent residents of Mexico, own actual physical Mexican property (two condos), so we're concerned that not paying the contract could affect our property and residency here. We no longer need the timeshare and no longer want the annual dues. We are very tempted to stop paying as well. If they terminate our membership and that's the end of it all, great! Not terribly worried about our credit, but don't want any liens on our Mexican properties or black marks on our residency status. We also reached out to MexLaw (legitimate, but expensive attorneys) and are trying to decide if it's worth paying them to get us legally released. Any advice would be appreciated!

Rarely, if ever, will you see anyone here on TUG recommend an attorney to "get [one] legally released". What will an expensive attorney do for you that you can't do yourself. Besides, since you just have a membership and not actual deeded property (at least with FV/Sunset), all FV/Sunset can really do to you is terminate your membership, which is what you want.

My purchase agreement with Sunset ended Dec 31,2020. Although there’s an addendum that says lifetime, per legal counsel, the addendum is tied up to the contract. So I have emailed them and send them a letter letting them know, I am not extending our membership.

I wouldn't be surprised if the TS Developer (i.e., Sunset) writes lifetime addenda to their contracts in order to get around legal limitations to the number of contracts they sell. That seems to be a pattern in Mexican TS. They have a high season that distinctly tapers off and the contracts I've seen for other ones refer seem to the sale of weeks registered with a governmental entity that are good for a set period, but they are happy to give you an additional certificate or addendum that provides some access beyond that period. As a result, they have "sold" you lifetime access or a RTU that is renewable beyond its expiration date, but can resell that same week to someone else once it has expired without having to worry about a deedback or anything like that. The nice thing is that you could hold them to the addendum if you wanted to, but they probably couldn't hold you liable for it once the contract runs out. Just my personal thoughts on the situation - no legal advice intended.
