Doing so will result in a negative credit report which would remain in place for 7 years, but you can always make the difficult choice and decision to simply pay not another penny and just walk away.
I can think of very few (if any) timeshare weeks worth $17k, so paying off a loan balance of that size would seem (to me, anyhow ) to not be a wise or cost effective course of action, just to "get yourself out".
In any case, do not pay a dime to ANY "exit / relief / escape / release" parasites. They are all thieves --- every last one of them. The simple truth is that there are no escape hatches or secret passageways that can or will magically relieve anyone of lawful contractual obligations which were once voluntarily entered of one's own free will and choice. Even if you want to believe otherwise, there are no "magical escapes".
