I don't post much usually only if i have trouble or need advice. This may not be funny to most but the saying "you can't fix stupid" applies to this post. I sent a post about 2 years ago concerning my sister in law who was 79 and her husband who was 81. She wanted to get ride of her 2 weeks at Orbit One and when she was at the timeshare she was talked into trading up to HGV and giving a deposit that she claimed was a bank visa card they charged and she signed for , I believe it was 6000 on deposit. and traded in 2 weeks that were paid for. Returned home and she she couldn't believe what she had done and did not want anything to do with timeshares. I received great advice on TUG as to how to help her cancel the contract and passed it on to her . Her response was I can handle it myself, enough said.fast forward 2 years. she was working with some timeshare help company and would not divulge who they were. I don't see her often and she tells my wife her sister all that is going on that this company told her to write a letter to HGV ( this happened 3 times as she did not send registered and was probably never read ) ( this is 6 months after the sale) then the dragged this on and changes her contact 3 times and finally at the end of last year she received a letter saying all was cancelled . Probably had to get it off the books by end of year. She now says it cost her $11,000. for this. She has plenty of money but short on you know what. anyway I though I would close this one out.
