I want to cancel my wyndham timeshare

Stacie88lynn · Jul 28, 2014

it is day 5 and post office is closed can a email or fax a rescend to get out of my timeshare?

DeniseM · Jul 28, 2014

Hi Stacie - In what state did you buy your timeshare?

Stacie88lynn · Jul 28, 2014

South Carolina

South Carolina I live in Illinois

DeniseM · Jul 28, 2014

Did your purchase materials include cancellation information?

What date did you sign the contract?

Stacie88lynn · Jul 28, 2014

"purchaser's nonwaivable right to cancel". I want to cancel this contract without penalty or obligation within 5 days after the date I signed the contract, not including Sunday if that is the fifth day or the date I receive the disclosure statement pursuant to section 27-32-100, whichever occurs later. If you decide to cancel you must notify the seller in writing of your intent to cancel by sending notice by verifiable means to wyndham vacation resorts inc., attention: account controls administration-recession dept.

Stacie88lynn · Jul 28, 2014

I signed the 7/22/14

Passepartout · Jul 28, 2014

Send your rescission letter tomorrow by Certified Mail, w/returned receipt. The 5 days are business days and Sunday won't count.

You're cutting it pretty close, and if you can get an email or fax address, send an email or fax tonight to show intent.

Wyndham are pretty honorable, but you might be leaning on their good graces to allow a late rescission.

Good Luck!

Get to work!

Yes today is the 5th day tomorrow the 6th so that is why I worried! I do not have a email or fax number? do you know of any? I just have the mailing address. I also do not know what the letter should state do you?

Stacie88lynn · Jul 28, 2014

It states! within 5 days after the date you signed the contract, not including Sunday if that is the fifth day or the date I receive the disclosure statement pursuant to section 27-32-100, whichever occurs later.

The letter doesn't have to be fancy, or legalese. Just:

To whom it may concern,

I/We________________ wish to cancel and rescind contract #__________, Dated July 22,2014.

John Husband____________________
Stacie Wife______________________

Promotional materials (the folder, etc) to be returned under separate cover. (then mail them back)

Stacie88lynn · Jul 28, 2014

So do you think I have anything to worry about?

DeniseM · Jul 28, 2014

Here is the TUG Advice page with an article about canceling, and it includes a sample letter:

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

Just to be clear - it doesn't matter when they RECEIVE the letter - what's critical is when you SEND it, and that you mail it "return receipt requested," or some other method, that allows you to prove when you mailed it.

Stacie88lynn · Jul 28, 2014

I sent it by email to sales rep hope that works until I can mail it tomorrow???

Sure. Worry. I think you should have sent the letter this morning, but at this stage, just do the best you can. After you get notification that your rescission is in process (you may not get notification), or see a refund of your down payment (can take up to 45 days), THEN you can stop worrying.

That won't work, and he is going to call you tomorrow and try to talk you out of it - He will lie to you and twist your arm to try to save his commission don't answer his call.

Rescissions don't go to sales - they go to a different department.

Email will definitely NOT work. A FAX to the rescission department might. The mail will work if postmarked before the end of the rescission window. At this point, do both of the last two actions, and hope for the best. Once you take those two actions, don't keep yourself up at night worrying about whether you got under the wire or not; it won't affect the ultimate outcome.

If you put the initial deposit on a credit card, you might dispute it, but that might open up another can of worms if your rescission is considered too late.

Stacie88lynn · Jul 29, 2014

Do you have a telephone number to the contract department or a fax number?

Google is pretty good for this kind of stuff.

Good luck! And let us know how it works out.

Fax is 702-304-4217

Phone is 1-800-251-8736 option 2

Phoning anyone is a waste of time.

It appears you have 5 days after July 22 but kinda confusing. If Saturday counts you are out of luck.

The clock doesn't start until the date you received the paperwork that included the rescission verbiage. Most of the time this is probably the same day you signed the paperwork, but - if they gave it to you the next (or on a later) day, then you have a little more time.

If you received the paperwork on the same day you signed, but it was after normal business hours I would bring that up if they try to say you aren't within the rescission period. Probably wouldn't stand up in court, but might sway them to your side.

Good luck - let us know how this turns out!
