I don't know if you literally mean that or if that's hyperbole (exaggeration). If you literally mean that, then I have an even lower view of TS sales people.

They don't check to see if potential buyers have the means to purchase and keep up with the MFs. All they care about is making a sale. So you break the bank buying an interval but, because you're now homeless and probably jobless, you can't afford the MFs and, hence, can't afford to use the interval that you just paid tens of thousands for.:(

It's an exaggeration. But it's a huge money to me cuz I'm a only a graduate student with monthly stipend. I have some savings but after paying all the timeshare money, I'll lost 50% of all my savings, and I got a wife, too.

You should not be in the market for a timeshare - WAIT until you are established in your career, and have purchased some of the more important things in life, and socked some money away.

If you think that timeshare is going to cost a chunk of your savings, wait until you see what a wife can do to it.:hysterical:


Before you all jump on me this is totally a joke but I agree with Denise, this hardly seems the time to be looking at timeshares.

Yeap. Feel like I'm changed a lot mentally after this timeshare accident. Many thanks to you all!

Fortunately, I got a pretty economical wife... Hahaha... She's learning sewing instead of buying from mall. I was telling her we should go out to have a big celebration meal this weekend.:clap:

Celebrate after your cash is back in your accounts. It might take 45 days, and they are under no obligation to keep you informed of the progress. Can you say, 'stressed'.

Hi Jim, I just thought of a question about the refund process.

Since I've already cancel their credit card and filed a dispute on the $127 through my own Chase credit card. What would be the sign for their refund to me?

Thanks,

Nan

Just because you cancelled the card, doesn't mean you don't owe the money that was charged on the card - it's still owed on the closed acct., and the funds will be refunded to the closed Acct.

The CC Co. should send you a statement, but if they don't, you can still call and verify that it's been refunded. In fact, you may receive a bill for a payment on this Acct., before you receive the refund - which is why it's important to formally dispute the charges.

Closing the Acct. only prevents FUTURE charges on the Acct. It's still your Acct. - it's just closed.

Alright. That makes things easier. I'll just call them to confirm zero balance on that credit card after 45 days.

Hi guys, got one more question here.

I mailed back all the materials from Westgate. But I kept all the contract paperwork. I was thinking that at any rate those are all photocopies. So just wanna confirm this with you guys. Do I have to send all the copies of the contract back to them also?

Thank you all!
