I understand the Homestead, pension protections, etc. in FL
If I walk away, what are the likely consequences?
If I need to "lawyer-up," any recommendations?
Any suggestions for an exit "strategy?"

Re: collection agency
Clearly they are playing hardball with you. I have no experience with timeshare, one scam I was not caught in.
MY OPINION wish to state clearly, it is my opinion any loss, expense is yours. I'm sure you are not the only one dealing with the TIME SHARE SLIME. Turning you over for collection is their SLIME procedure. My guess if they are charging you for their collection SLIME it is roughly 10% of what they are trying to collect from you so they are trying to collect 15,000 from you. It is probably time to seek legal advice. A call to the bar association which is FREE, will get you some advice and a list of attorneys who are specialists in dealing with this SLIME.
As far as collection agencies and time shares. A safe bet everyone knows they are SLIME.
