[ 2014 ] Cancelling a Westgate Timeshare [merged]

[Srmichi23]

Hello and thank you for having this website. My wife and I got sucked up into buy a timeshare this past Saturday 8/17 down in Florida. Something wasn’t sitting right with us and I started doing some research. Which led me to the discovery of this forum. We will be sending our cancelation notice right after I clear up some questions we have.

1. Where would we find the contract number? (Would it be the 14 digit number in the first page of the staple package we received?
2. I’m reading about multiple addresses? We are only seeing on. Which they are going by Westgate Palace, LLC 2801 Old winter garden Road, Ocoee, Florida 34761.
3. We have the CD but nowhere to check what’s inside. Is it necessary for us to check it out before sending our letter?

Thank you in advance, We are really anxious about this mistake we made without doing research.

1) the contract number is likely the 14 digit number on the first page. Include a copy with your rescission letter. Make sure both you and your wife sign the rescission letter.
2) that is the right address. Be sure to send certified.
3) it is best to check the Cd for at least the rescission address and contract number.

How much would the rescission save you?

hi thus any one have a copy of a cancelation later for west gate timeshare ? please and just give me some guide lines on how to do this please .

When and where did you sign this contract? How long you have to cancel it depends on what state you bought it. Grammerhero posted a good sample letter and the address to send it to. Make sure that everyone who signed that contract signs the letter. Include a COPY of the signature page with your rescission letter. Use the post office, not Fed-Ex, UPS or other courier. Send it Certified mail with return receipt so you'll know when it is delivered. The important date is when it is sent, not when they receive it. Send all their promotional junk back by the cheapest day-to-day probably UPS ground. Keep the receipt in case Westgate tries to charge you for it.

We are glad you found TUG. Good Luck with your rescission.

Jim

We will check the CD tonight and get the letter printed. we shall both sign it and I’ll attach a photocopy of the the contract and staple them together. Tomorrow I’ll go to the postal service and send it out certified mail with return recipe.

If everything goes thru we would save 17K

Would getting the rescission letter notarize be of any help?

No need to notarize it.

Follow Gramarhero's instructions and you should be fine.

Be VERY sure that anyone who signed the purchase also signs the rescission. Absolutely NO NEED to Notarize.

ALSO, send you rescission letter via the United States Postal Service (USPS) and send it via CERTIFIED MAIL. If you are young (which I think you are) us older folks refer to it as "the Post Office". You can do this at ANY Post Office.

Save your Postmarked Receipt, drink beer and celebrate


Keep in mind to do this right away. Legally you have only so many days to do this, otherwise you are really STUCK WITH IT and all those monthly payments for years.

They should refund you within 45 days or so. They won't acknowledge receipt, but they do have to refund your money by state law.

We Reviewed the Cd and it’s the same information we got in paper. Wrote out the rescission letter the way Grammerhero had it. Just finish mailing it out certified mail with return receipt. They should be getting it on Saturday.

When should I send back their portfolio with the tablet? Also do we keep all the copies they gave us including the CD?

Keep all the materials just in case.

@Passepartout is the expert for this matter. I didn’t realize they gave you that. Usually we advise having a sentence “Promotional materials will be sent via separate cover upon request.”

I added that All promotional material will be returned under separate cover.

You should be just fine and get back your down payment in 45 days or less. If it would give you more peace-of-mind, for the cost of postage it wouldn't hurt, but many people have rescinded successfully without sending a copy.
We're glad you found us in time to save yourself thou$and$.

So that being said. Should we send back the material back now or after we get some sort of confirmation that they will canceling the contract?

Send it back now as you have no reason for it any longer. Send it back via the USPS "Standard Mail" and be sure to ask for a tracking number.

Don't hold the material hostage; get rid of it.

Done. shipped in a medium flat rate box with tracking. Now we wait

 

[OldGuy]

But the real question is did they ring the bell and announce you guys as new owners in front of everyone, and tell all the salespeople to take that week off the list of available weeks?

No they didn’t. For a lot of people they did.

 

[Srmichi23]

Alright so our certified letter is scheduled to be delivered today. I just check the tracking and it’s saying it that it ready for pick up?

Your item arrived at the OCOEE, FL 34761 post office at 7:43 am on August 24, 2019 and is ready for pickup.

Has this happen to anyone?

You are find. Date that matters is the postmark date. It just means that, for some reason, resort didn’t pick up. Resort eventually will pick up and refund you.

Since today is Saturday maybe the office staff has the weekend off and they'll be back at work on Monday.
As posted above, all that affects you is that you mailed your rescission letter within the stated rescission period. You've
satisfied your part of the rescission. The rest is up to the resort.

 

[Srmichi23]

A little update. They picked up the letter and package on Monday but so far We haven’t heard from them. So not sure what to do.

Easy. Do nothing. Wait. Don't answer the phone from them or unknown numbers. They are not required to inform you of anything. It can take up to 45 days to receive your refund. You have done your part. We know it's hard, but RELAX! You won.

 

[Srmichi23]

It’s done? I received my deposit the other day but that’s it? No confrontation of the cancellation of the contract?

Yes. They are not required to confirm cancellation.
