The Good

  • 100% Money-Back Guarantee
  • Straightforward Timeshare Exit Process
  • Personalized Customer Care
  • Experienced Company Leadership
  • Timeshare Maintenance Fee Calculator

100% Money-Back Guarantee

Wesley Financial Group offers customers a money-back guarantee.

Once accepted as a client, you are covered by a money-back guarantee, which states that your timeshare will be terminated within the contractually agreed upon timeframe. The company's Service Agreement with each client determines with specificity the types of termination that will satisfy the guarantee.

If their timeshare ownership is not terminated during the contractually agreed upon timeframe, then WFG, upon written request from the client, will refund 100 percent of the fee that the client paid to Wesley Financial.

Straightforward Timeshare Exit Process

This timeshare exit company has a simple, transparent process, with four simple steps:

  1. First, a timeshare owner signs up for a free consultation.
  2. An Account Director is assigned to create a file and assist clients in having their account approved for guaranteed cancellation.
  3. Next, the Resolution Department will work around the clock to have the client's contract permanently terminated. Clients are assigned a single point of contact and will receive timely and regular updates from them on their account.
  4. The last step is clients being timeshare free. Once everything is sorted and the timeshare is canceled, clients will receive confirmation and can celebrate.

Personalized Customer Care

When you work with Wesley Financial Group, you are assigned a case manager to guide you throughout the process. No matter the industry, consumers appreciate having an actual person, whose name they know,  that is familiar with your situation to call or email, rather than just a hotline covered by all-purpose service agents.

Highlight: Customers appreciate WFG's customer service throughout the process.

The timeshare exit process can take anywhere from months to years. When timing is unknown, it's helpful to have more than just a customer service hotline to call for help. WFG assigns service reps to each account. Customer reviews praise WFG's client support team and express satisfaction with the team's service.

Experienced Company Leadership

Wesley customers benefit from the company's expert leadership. Wesley Financial Group CEO Chuck McDowell is known as a pioneer of the timeshare advocacy industry. Born and raised in Tennessee, McDowell started his first company in 1982 and spent some time as a stockbroker. He later joined the insurance industry before becoming a sales representative for Wyndham Destinations — the world's most extensive vacation ownership and exchange company.

While working for Wyndham timeshare sales for less than a year, McDowell learned that the timeshare industry was not what he thought it was. He felt that the company encouraged deceitful tactics to get consumers to buy a timeshare. He left the industry to work for the opposing side, fighting for consumer rights.

Highlight: CEO Chuck McDowell stood up to Wyndham, the biggest timeshare company in the world. 

Soon after leaving timeshare sales (and helping people get their money back), Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc. filed a $5.9 million lawsuit against McDowell. Against the odds, McDowell withstood the suit and won. It took a jury less than 20 minutes to side with McDowell in Federal Court. 

To this day, McDowell continues to fight against timeshare fraud.

Timeshare Maintenance Fee Calculator

A timeshare obligation can quickly grow over time. The WFG website has a helpful calculator tool to help timeshare owners understand their growing maintenance fees.

The Bad

  • Prospective Client Vetting

Prospective Clients Vetting

Wesley Financial Group uses a thorough review process to vet prospective clients. Not everyone is accepted. Several factors determine the eligibility of each timeshare owner, including the following:

  • Which resort developer your timeshare agreement is with — WFG works to cancel timeshare contracts from over 300 timeshare companies and vacation ownership programs
  • What you were told during the timeshare sales pitch and signup process

Not everyone looking to get rid of an unwanted timeshare will be accepted as a client by this timeshare relief company.

The Bottom Line

Chuck McDowell founded Wesley Financial Group to help people who feel like they were lied to, misled, or pressured into a timeshare purchase. The company takes great pride in assisting people and putting its customers and their financial goals first.

Those interested in getting rid of their timeshare can sign up for a free consultation. If accepted, Wesley Financial Group will do everything in its powers to cancel the timeshare contract. If for some reason, the company cannot deliver within the specified time period, the company offers a 100 percent money-back guarantee.

Rita Gustafson Cloquet, MN

My husband and I had a timeshare which we initial used for about 5 years. Every year the cost of the timeshare increased. When my husband passed away the amount of the fee for the timeshare was a big burden for one person to pay. I was always stressed out to figure how I would pay the fee. I tried a website that told me they would list it for a fee to try and sell it and of course I was desperate and that was money down the drain. I came across Wesley Financial and contacted them. They were very honest with me and put everything up front. Spoke with the initial contact person who set things up for me to speak with the person I would be working with. Tayler M was very friendly and informative. Even though I was asked to write down everything that happened from the time we traveled to see what they were offering with the timeshare and us signing the contract for it, I was thankful that I kept all the correspondence because it came in handy when Tayler coached me what I needed to do when writing to the timeshare people. She walked me through it and kept in touch to make sure I was getting responses from them. I was lucky that all went well and within 6 months I was sent a letter being released from my contract with the timeshare. Yes, I had to pay them a fee for their service to help me but looking at what it would cost to keep the timeshare and not use it would have cost me more in the long run. It was a deeded timeshare, and the daughters did not want to deal with it, nor did they have the money for the yearly fee. With retirement in the near future, I would not have been able to afford the yearly fee. Tayler's help made all this possible.

WFG was very professional, courteous and personable throughout the entire process of our Timeshare Cancellation. All of the WFG staff that we had contact with were friendly and helpful. Olivia G was our Resolution Specialist. She guided us through the entire process smoothly and was prompt to respond when I had questions. She always had the answers that I needed. I was scared when the process started; but she made it so easy, my anxiety soon disappeared. I would recommend her highly as a Resolution Specialist. Furthermore, I would recommend WFG to anyone that wants to get out of their timeshare contract. They know what needs to be done and how to do it successfully. They are the best!

Our family was very weary of companies and the process of terminating our timeshare! Immediately, we felt very comfortable with Wesley Financial Group (WFG). Very few organizations will have the CEO call you directly to answer questions and walk you through the services their company provides, but that’s exactly what WFG did! From there we were connected to a subject matter expert for their particular portion of the process. Each (Christian, Makensi, Emily, Kora and Katie) were very friendly, professional, knowable, and kept us in the loop with timely periodic communications. While we were told up front, it did take longer than we would have like to get out of the timeshare, but in the end that’s exactly what WFG delivered!! Along with a tremendous amount of peace of mind for our family, having this burden lifted off our shoulders. WFG also worked with us after timeshare termination to repair the credit damage the timeshare left with us as a parting gift! We would give WFG the highest of recommendations for anyone trapped in a similar timeshare nightmare!!!!

Wesley Financial Group was outstanding and very professional. From the first conversation, the Wesley Financial team has been professional, sympathetic, patient, and caring. Each department that I worked with was friendly and had such a positive attitude. From the orientation with Tony A. thru talking with VP. Todd N. to Vaudeen C. and finally to Andie R. with the Resolution Department only took about 3 months. Each department told you exactly what was happening and exactly what/who you would be contacted by next. Andie was a jewel to work with, she was so knowledgeable and made me feel that she really cared about her job and for me and may situation. She always kept me up to date in a every little detail that was happening and her advice was solid. Thank you so much to Wesley Financial Group, and especially to Andie R. for giving me peace of mind and finally able to get this off my mind.

I am happy beyond belief that I am finally getting out of my timeshare. Wesley Financial Group guided me every step of the way as to what I needed to do. To legally be relieved of this timeshare nightmare. My resolution specialist Julia was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. Even during the Corona Virus pandemic. The process was easy and everything they promised happened. It only took us 6 months and I am FREE from my timeshare. I am so glad I trusted them. What a relief it is that I don't have to try and keep making these payments every month. Thank you Wesley Financial Group Julie for all your help.

We are happy beyond belief that we are finally getting out of our timeshare! Wesley Financial Group guided us every step of the way as to what we needed to do to legally be relieved of this timeshare nightmare. Our Resolution Specialist, Janika, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and answered all of our questions and concerns in a timely manner. Even during the corona virus pandemic she made sure that we were kept up to date on the progress of our case. We believe that it was money well spent; one could even say invested, to be completely done with the questionable practices of our particular timeshare company. We highly recommend Wesley Financial Group.

I want to thank Ashley E. for all of her help. She did a wonderful job helping me get my timeshare cancelled. It is such a relief to know that I no longer have those costs and I won't be hassled by numerous phone calls. She has been a pleasure to work with. Ashley made the process easy and enjoyable. I appreciate her so much and I am truly grateful I came across the ad for Wesley Financial Group. Everyone I have spoken to at WFG has been friendly, pleasant, and helpful. I couldn't be more satisfied with process and outcome!

They were easy to work with. The financial savings in the long-run was worth the cost to "get out now". They were friendly and very specific in the information they needed. It was a fairly quick process and we are satisfied with the results. I would recommend them to anyone in a similar situation that does not want to deal with the financial burdens caused by time-share ownership scams. We thank them very much for assisting us with this process

Quite simply, working with Wesley Financial Group was one of the best business experiences of my life....and I own my own business so I'm very picky. The communication from Step 1 all the way through the entire process which ended in a successful cancellation of our Wyndham Timeshare was nothing less than remarkable. I worked with several different representatives along the way at different junctions and each and every one of them was knowledgeable, communicative, friendly, and ALWAYS optimistic regarding the final outcome. I can't extol Wesley Financial Group enough! They're THAT good!

My husband and I are very pleased with our dealings with Wesley Financial. Everyone, that we dealt with, was professional and friendly. They kept in regular contact to keep us updated. We never had to call them or wonder what was happening. They always delivered on what they said they would do and when they were going to do it. It took approximately seven months to get us out of our timeshare. I highly recommend Wesley Financial. And thank you again Kiki. Colleen Casteel

Meredith is helpful, friendly and explained what steps we would have to go through. She went above and beyond in helping us get our timeshare canceled. She is a great asset to Wesley Financial Group! What I dislike is the amount of time it takes, which is not Wesley Financial Groups fault. It can just be frustrating having to deal with the people that work for Wyndham.
