Westgate Rescission Advice please!

[Jaci10p]

We purchased a timeshare at Westgate Lakes last Sunday, February 11th. I did some research and have decided we would like to cancel it, thanks to this site!!

I just mailed the letter today, via certified mail to the Ocoee address and sent the ipad and owner's kit to Westgate Lakes. I sent them a copy of the recsission letter, but now I'm worried that I should have sent the letter with an original signature, so they can see the pen I wrote it in. I can't find in the paperwork if that is required? I know we signed a lot of document electronically, so I think it's okay?

Also, how long does it take to hear back? Will they email or call me once they receive it and my contract is officially terminated? How long does it take to be refunded?

Do I need to do anything else to officially rescind? Is it really necessary to cancel the credit card I paid with, to avoid future payments coming out?

Thanks so much!!

That's all you need to do. Take a deep breath and congratulate yourself on dodging a major bullet. Timeshares can be great, but do some research first to identify where and who to buy from. Westgate has probably the worst reputation of any, and in this industry that is saying a lot.

Also, how long does it take to hear back?

You may never hear back. They are under no obligation to respond at all. The sales weasels may call and try to talk you out of it, but just ignore it all. They are required to accept the rescission as long as it is within the listed timeframe for that state. You have the certified letter to document the date it was sent and that is all you need.

Also, is there a "Westgate timeshare notice of cancellation form" I need to fill out? I read about it on a separate site, but can't find the form.

Oh phew, thank you!!

That form may only be for purchases in Nevada. As long as you followed the contract, you are golden. Congratulations.

Glad you sent the rescission in time. As half of us first bought retail/developer TS, there is no shame. To track TUG rescission savings, mind sharing the TS rescission price?

Need help! While on vacation on February 28th we made the mistake and purchased. When we got home March 2nd, thankfully we realized that there was a 10-day period to cancel. We mailed out our letter and the binder with the tablet. With delivery we made it signature is required and as I've been tracking it arrived at the postal office today and was marked for redelivery scheduled for next business day and a minute later updated to "available for pickup".

I was under the impression that this would be delivered straight to the address of Westgate Lakes, LLC and now I'm wondering if they will pick it up? Has anyone had any experience in this? Why did it change?

This is coming from Canada.
I'm worried this won't get to them and will be sent back to me... Any help would be appreciated!

As long as you have proof you mailed it prior to the deadline (and to the address as specified in your contract.) it doesn’t matter how long it takes them to pick it up.

Asked and answered multiple times with the same answer. You are all set. Allow up to 45 days for a refund.

Good move to have rescinded.
