The financial dept apparently Voluntary Surrender Program:
In order to qualify, the HOA (MFs) must be up-to-date and the owner must have a zero balance on the loan.
To start this process, the owner must send an email to:
lossmitigation@diamondresorts.com and or
leadcollector@diamondresorts.com with the subject line stating: Inventory Takeback.
In the email itself the owner must include:
-Resort Name
-Owner(s) Name(s)
-Account Number
-Inventory owned (ie. weeks, points, etc)
-any other important information regarding the deed
within 7-10 business days, the Diamond Resorts will send an action required correspondence, where the owner will have 15 days to return.
Note: the owner is responsible for any fees associated with the paper work, such as notary, postage etc.
Edited to add phone number: You can call 877-497-7521, option 1 English, then 3 is direct to Loss Mitigation.
