Quick summary: A practical evidence checklist for timeshare exit, maintenance fee, holiday club and resort membership complaints.
Gather the sales and membership paperwork
Keep the purchase agreement, membership certificate, resort rules, finance documents and any sales presentation notes or emails. These documents explain the original promise.
Show the fee history
Maintenance fee invoices, payment records, increases, arrears letters and cancellation charges help show how the cost changed over time.
Keep exit and cancellation replies
Save every request to cancel or exit, the resort response, any transfer paperwork and any third-party exit company correspondence.
Record pressure or misunderstanding clearly
If you feel the product was misrepresented, note what was said, when it was said, who was present and which written documents support or contradict the sales explanation.

Common questions
Is a verbal sales promise useful?
It can help as background, but written support such as brochures, emails, witness notes or later contradictory documents usually makes the issue clearer.
Should I keep old maintenance fee invoices?
Yes. A fee history can show increases, disputed charges and when the problem became unaffordable or unclear.
What if an exit company was involved?
Keep the contract, payments, promises and all messages with the exit company separately from the resort paperwork.
