[ 2018 ] rescinding bluegreen!

[JBerz]

Hello,

My wife and I signed our documents on July 16th in Orlando, FL and sent our cancellation letter on July 19th and it should be delivered sometime today (July 22nd) my concern is, we did not use a template for our cancellation letter, we wrote along the lines of "we would like to cancel our purchase, done 7/16/19 as described in the contract (reference # xxxxx)as of 7/19/19. We expect immediate refund of monies paid during purchase." Both my wife and i signed the letter and included the parts of the contract with the cancellation information.

After sending I noticed that the cancellation verbiage described the address with the ATTN after the company name (BlueGreen Vacations Inc. ATTN: blah blah blah) but on the certified envelope we put the ATTN at the end of the full address.

My questions are:
1)is that type of letter fine?
2)is having the ATTN at the end of the address instead of after the company name fine?

Thank you!!!

You should be good. There is technically no error. Keep us updated.

Thank you, So from what you said, Having the ATTN in a different order on the TO address than what was described in the contract is not an issue?

Also after checking the certified mail status on USPS it says the status is "Available for pickup" anyone know what this means?

Should not be an issue. At worst, it’s a schrivener’s error. The “available for pickup” means no one at BG was there so sign (possibly during lunch hour). USPS left a note for someone in BG to come into post office to pick up. That doesn’t matter for you. What matters is the postmark date.

Mind sharing with us how much you saved with the rescission?

Thank you, I will keep tracking it, am on a call with USPS now.
down payment of $2000 on a ~$16,000 purchase (mortgaged the remaining $14000 with a 15% APR over 10 yrs)for 16000 pts Bienially.

Also so that I can double check that the letter is fine below is the exact verbiage used (with some personal info redacted)

"To Whom it May Concern:
After further review of the documentation as well as our financial situation, we would like to cancel our purchase of a time share with your company as of today, July 19, 2019, as spelled out in the contract.

The reference number is XXXXXXX.

We expect the refund of all monies paid on and for initial purchase (July 16, 2019) returned immediately."

That is fine. Do not accept any calls from phone numbers you don’t recognize in the next 45 days. You’d likely get your refund sooner.

It helps you used the word “cancel,” though I would have preferred the word “rescind.” You are good. I would have been worried if you used the word “reconsidered or “thinking about canceling.”

Thank you, yea we chose the word cancel since that it is the word they used in the contract, so we figured to keep in the verbiage of the contract would be the best choice.

I also liked that you included the July 19, 2019 date. So you are good to go. Get a drink.

That will be fine. I tell people to keep it simple and there is no need to give a reason for canceling.

I moderate a Bluegreen group on Facebook and everyone who asks about cancelling is pretty much in a state of panic so just relax. As long as you sent a letter within the proper time frame to the correct address you will be fine.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thinks JBerz is in the clear.

Thank you, and I asked the same question to Grammarhero before (I didnt have the full address on hand before so couldn't post the whole thing), but the contract had the address to send the cancellation to as:
Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.
ATTN: Corporate Sales Accounting
4960 Conference Way N, STE 100
Boca Raton, FL 33431-3311

But on our envelope we put:
Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.
4960 Conference Way N, STE 100
Boca Raton, FL 33431-3311
ATTN: Corporate Sales Accounting

Is it still fine this way?

Curious which group on Facebook, obviously not a Bluegreen Resort Addicts

Yes that is still fine.

People, he wants an answer from each of you on this topic as well.

 

[Grammarhero]

@rapmarks and @csxjohn , JBerz would like input as to his situation. He sent the rescission letter to:

Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.
4960 Conference Way N, STE 100
Boca Raton, FL 33431-3311
ATTN: Corporate Sales Accounting

The address via the TUG sticky said to send to:
Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.
ATTN: Corporate Sales Accounting
4960 Conference Way N, STE 100
Boca Raton, FL 33431-3311

He is hoping he is still fine. What are your thoughts?

 

[Grammarhero]

@Passepartout JBerz is wondering if he is fine if he put the Attn portion of the address on the 4th line, instead of the 2nd line. What do you think?

I don't think it matters. Hell, hit 'em over the head with it and put it both places. And the bottom of the envelope too.

This actually made me laugh after a long work day. Thanks Jim.

Yours is better than what they tell you to do. It will be fine.

Ha, I got booted from that group for posting about resale and recissions in a different group that the same peeps run.

Bluegreen Timeshare Secrets, it's run by a young lady who ties to keep Bg employees out so they don't influence peeps trying to find info about cancelling. She likes to see both sides of any Bg issue discussed.

Thank you everyone for your help!!

The Cancellation letter for the contract signed in Orlando, FL on 7/16 was sent certified on 7/19 with the verbiage mentioned above and to the address mentioned above and it looks like it was delivered and signed for on 7/22. With this we nowjust have to wait for the refund of our down payment correct? There is nothing special we have to do for the financing/mortgage, all of that will be cancelled as well?

You're good to go. Go celebrate! You won. It can take up ton 45 days for the refund to hit your CC, but probably a good bit less. Now, rather than jumping in to a resale, rent a couple of vacation weeks. Even if you buy one now, by the time it gets transferred into your name, you won't have time to set up an account and book a vacay this year. I'd suggest a different system from what you rescinded, so you can see some difference. Go somewhere new. Use the TUG Last Minute Rentals forum. You might find out that renting is the way to go. No buy-in, no MF cost, and no exit plan needed.

Oh, and you might consider actually paying the $15 to join TUG- we saved you a bundle and would appreciate the support.

Yes, everything will be cancelled and you will receive a full refund within 45 days.


Now, go out and celebrate


You have saved thousands of dollars!
