Westgate & Cancelling but no paperwork!

[Jason245]

I received this email today. Should I respond??

QUOTE:

The corporate office sent me an email saying that you have requested to rescind your real estate transaction with Westgate. I am concerned because you did not try calling me to discuss any questions you may have or other options Westgate may have for you to help you if you had financial concerns. Please email me back with a brief explanation as to why you have made this decision. Since I am in charge of your account with Westgate, I have to type out a report to send to the corporate office. It is imperative that you get back to me.


Thank you,
Cherie Shannon

I would reply as follows :

Thank you for acknowledging receipt of my recision of this timeshare. According to the contract and the law, you are required to refund my monies by xxxxx.

I appreciate your assistance in processing my refund as quickly as possible.

Don't write; don't call.

You have done everything you are legally required to do.

You have absolutely nothing to gain by engaging further with their sales staff.

And congratulations for dodging a bullet.

Wow.

Isn't it awesome to dodge a bullet. It's almost like a superpower.

Thanks, TUG.

Yessa!

Well said. There is absolutely no point in ever again engaging these parasites by phone, email, follow up correspondence, smoke signals or telepathy.
They are merely trying to pry back open a door that you are lawfully slamming shut on them, in a futile attempt to save their sale (and commission).

OP now simply needs to just sit back and let the rule of law prevail.

Thank you for the advice!
I did not reply and won't. Hopefully soon I can sweep this under the rug.
So glad I found this forum.

PS: Now I know why there was no wifi and poor service in the building. They don't want you doing research on them there. Then you get home and start doing research only to realize that only half of what they tell you is true. They rush you so quickly and talk in circles, you think you're getting this awesome deal. I'm not usually one to give in to that...however; we were told and promised things that simply were not true.

forreal14, I'm glad you got out in time. I've been an unhappy Westgate owner for 5 years now because I didn't research beforehand. Unhappy because of what I paid anyway. I wish I would've found TUG this time 5 years ago. Thankfully, I'm getting a new timeshare for practically nothing thanks to what I've learned from reading all the posts and articles here.

 

[LannyPC]

So what's happening with the one you bought five years ago? Will you now own two?

 

[radar-ds3]

I still use the one I bought 5 years ago. I purchased it because my mother really enjoyed the place. With the price I paid for it, I figure I'll use it until the HOA fees get too high or until my mother no longer wants to go there.

I have a co-worker that is practically giving me his Wyndham timeshare in Florida because he is tired of paying the HOA fees and his family is tired of going there.

I don't think I'll ever acquire another timeshare from Westgate in the future. I've gotten really good at saying no during their sales meetings too.

Here are all the details about rescinding and a sample letter:

http://tug2.net/timeshare_advice/cancel_timeshare_purchase.html

Include a copy of the main page of the contract.

Don't send the tablet or binder with the letter. Send them separately, insured, return receipt requested.

*I moved your last post back to this thread. For the sake of continuity, please post in this thread.

I just searched my binder and there is no hidden compartment I will be looking on the disk when I get home and sending this letter tomarrow. Tomarrow will be 3 days since we signed paperwork to buy so I'm still in my grace period. My question is where do I send binder and tablet back to and when. Do I send it back at same time I send letter or a few days later. Also I've seen the sample letter do I also need to include a copy of our signed documents or just the letter itself with account number and all info on it. Please help I need to get this done asap so I can stop worrying and be able to sleep

You can sent that back snail mail a few days later. That isn't the critical item.

Also I've seen the sample letter do I also need to include a copy of our signed documents or just the letter itself with account number and all info on it.

Include a copy of the page with the contract number. Ensure that you follow the instructions and all party's sign the paperwork who signed the original purchase.
