The cancellation clause also state that "if i elect to cancel the agreement, i shall return sale materials promptly."

I already sent out the cancellation notice, i guess i need to send out the sale materials separately or send the notice again along with the sales package?

thanks
Chris.

The sales people can charge you a small fee if you fail to return the "owner materials" which were provided to you at the time of your purchase.

You do not have to resubmit your rescission, but I'd enclose another copy anyhow, with an original signature, when you (promptly) return those "owner materials".

P.S. It's quite possible that you will receive phone calls from the disappointed sales weasels when they soon learn of their rapidly disappearing commission. You would be well advised to not take those phone calls and to not engage in any further conversation of any sort with them. Nothing good can come of any such (legally meaningless) conversations anyhow. Sit back, give yourself a pat on the back for being smart here and stay off the phone. Let the law work for you. They have no choice or option other than to process your cancellation and refund your deposit. It's not a voluntary act of kindness or benevolence on their part --- it's compliance with the law.

How can GoldKey pick a week?

When exchanging through II, gold key picks your week. It can be anything. It is not going to be a summer week.

How can GoldKey pick a week? If I have a fixed July 4th week (week 26 or 27) I should be able to deposit that week to get an awesome exchange. Can someone explain? I can understand if I have a floating RED week, but based on my research they only sell fixed weeks. I was also looking around to buy a resale week 27 for higher trading power (incase needed to trade), but this comment makes me think twice.......

I was talking with an agent in VA beach who specializes in OBC and she did not mention that either.

So, in my example do I atleast get the maximum trading power (based on my week 26) OR the power of the week which Goldkey picks for this deposit (lets assume week 4)?

Can you provide name and contact info for this agent who specializes in OBC. I may want to list some of my OBC with her.

I own a summer week at Beach Quarters and one summer week at Turtle Cay. These are both Goldkey resorts as well. I bought one of them from Timesharing 2000, and the people I worked with there were great and found something for me. The other, I bought off ebay. I had not heard anything about them taking your week and depositing a different one in II. I have never traded mine, which makes it difficult for people to trade into, because a lot of people bought them to use, especially in the summer.

If I were to trade mine in Interval, I would do a Request First so that I would not give up my week unless I found something that I want. I only live less than 2 hours away, so we tend to make it for the week or at least most of it.

Start a new thread in the newbies section with the info of what and where you bought and when you bought.

If you JUST bought it (say, in the last few days) You paid too much. Rescind. Cancel the purchase. Study here on TUG and find out what you can get and can do with it BEFORE you spend your money.

I don't know what the going rate is for a resale there, but it isn't $4,000. There is one on eBay that finals Thursday. There is no bid at an asking price of $1.00.

Of a dozen or so completed auctions, only a handful of them sold. The highest was sold for $3.99.

Once again. Rescind. Learn about timeshares then buy resale.

Well from what my understanding is which states even in contract its 4000 and we have a biennial on every even year with 2 extra weeks every year thru rci. Its 4000 because it was a forclosed unit which was owned by a married couple which went thru a divorce and stopped paying so we are only paying the remaining amohnt which was 4000 and im payinf 70 dollars a month for 82 months

I see you are posting in at least two different places. But listen. They are screwing you. You can (and should) cancel this sale. It IS NOT a good deal. Do that FIRST. Preferably tomorrow. write them an 'I'm Cancelling' letter. Sign it (both of you of you are a couple). THEN we'll be more than happy- overjoyed actually- to teach you about timeshare.

$4,000 for what you bought can be bought for mere pennies. Honest.

As requested, you should be posting in the Newbies section.

The week bought was not through RCI. RCI does not sell timeshares. Your timeshare may be affiliated with RCI, but that's it.


Start a new thread in the newbies section with the info of what and where you bought and when you bought.

If you followed this advice and are posting in a new thread in the Newbies section, that is where you will get the help you're looking for.

Jim is giving you the best advice he could not knowing when this was purchased. Without knowing any more about what you bought, it is excellent advice.

Foreclosed, huh? I can't tell you how many times I've heard that when I used to go to timeshare presentations or Owner Updates. If they can't sell you the full freight one, then they have a foreclosure "that just came in." Foreclosed at $4,000 is still something tht could have been picked up for a few bucks most likely.

Would love to see this got rescinded!

Today was the 7th day; it could have gone out today, but since it didn't......Now learn to use it. Hey, many of us bought our first timeshares through the developer. Live and LEARN. :)

I think I got it wrong, but can someone confirm that the trading power is not lost here....

I could be wrong. It has been a couple of years since I had the conversation with an owner about exchanging through II. I have heard that off season weeks trade fairly well considering they are off season but I haven't heard of anyone with a good week actually depositing in Interval.

Even without actually exchanging someone who owns there and has the week set up in their II account should be able to see if it is listed as a fixed week ready to be deposited.

Hi all,

Sent my cancellation letter on April 21,2014 (signed contract was April 19,2104).
I tracked the status, it said "out for delivery" on April 23,2014 on 9:25am. It has been almost a day and half now, it still say "Delivery status not updated".

I am worry, should i send another one tomorrow? Tomorrow is the seventh day. I already sent out the sales package on April 22,2014.

Thanks
Chris.

You're fine, Chris. If you have your receipt of mailing, that's all you need.

As long as you have the stamped receipt for your certified letter, you're good to go. It should have been updated; however, my inside knowledge about tracking through USPS makes me think the carrier did not scan the mail piece when he actually delivered it, only when it was leaving the station.

For piece of mind, you can always dispute with your credit card company and provide copies of the contract and your USPS receipt.
