Cancel my contract - Help with address needed!

@CaptAdam, Under the buying and selling forum there is a stickie on how to rescind. Here is a direct link https://tug2.net/timeshare_advice/cancel_timeshare_purchase.html

The clock is ticking to legally rescind your contract. Good news is you just bought yesterday so you have time. There is a sample letter you can use to write yours. It doesn’t need to be typed. Ensure all parties to the contract sign it. The address for rescinding will be in the contract. Mail it USPS today, if you can but Monday would be fine too, certified mail and save the proof of mailing. Doesn’t matter when they receive it only when you mailed it. That is why you need to save your proof. Next step is to wait up to 45 days for any refunds. By law, they must process your rescission. HGVC will do the right thing. Do not go back to the sales department as they will do their best to try to keep you from rescinding.

To answer your last question we need more info. You ask how to become a member but you also state you bought a timeshare you don’t want. If it is a timeshare you want but only at resale prices then take your time and research, research and then research some more before making a decision. There are many brands, locations, styles of timeshares and what you think you want today may not be the same after you research. I took 1.5 years before I eventually bought a timeshare. To start, there is a questionnaire in the buying and selling forum that you can complete and post and you will get advice from experienced timeshare owners.

Please help! I just bought a timeshare that I don’t want at HGVC Orlando! Yesterday! I check out tomorrow. How exactly can I rescind and how exactly can I become a member?
Look for the rescission address in your instructions. If both you and your SO signed the TS contract, be sure the rescission letter has both your names and signatures.

mind sharing how much you’d save with rescission?

Welcome to TUG. We are here to help and give you advice. Both @RX8 and @Grammarhero have provided advice on rescinding. I would suggest that you take care of that item first before doing anything else. After that is complete, then you can research if a TS is right for you.

If you were asking about joining TUG - refer to this link.

Good information.

I might add that you may want to rent timeshares for awhile to decide whether you really want a long term commitment. That way, you can try different properties and different resorts first.

TUG, Redweek and other sites have timeshares for rent and (many times) with competitive pricing. It’s a nice way to dip your toe in the water before you do a full plunge.

I add the codeword. Why am I still showing as a Guest? Maybe it will take a while to get updated.
 
Hello All,

We did the same thing. We signed the contract in Hawaii for Tuscany florida on Dec 30 2019 and after getting home and speaking to someone at office realised that we did something lol..

Date contract signed: Dec 30 3019
Rescission letter sent: Jan 2 2020
The letter still in transit.

I think the letter will go thereafter 7days period is expired but I think the date we snet is important, right?

Congrats on rescinding. It’s the postmark date that is legally operative. Be sure that if both your and your SO signed the TS contract, that you both signed the rescission letter. Mind sharing how much you saved with rescission?

Yes we did sign it with all the information and first two pages of original contract attached.

Be sure to send USPS-certified too. Mind sharing how much rescission would save you?
 
And believe or not, I even took some serious negotiation classes and still been talked into this. Can't wait the post office open tomorrow. !
Oh boy, if you took serious negotiation classes, I bet HGVC or any developer would love to hire you as their closer. JK! :devilish:
 
I just downloaded the signature of recipient. I would also like to call HGVC to follow up. Does any one happen to know which number that I shall call? Thanks again for all the help. :)

Do not call HGVC. They will try to get you to buy again. Just wait patiently for the refund, which is legally required within 45 days.

They are legally bound to rescind, but not to give updates on the process. HGVC is very good on keeping with the law. You will get your recession.
 
I remembered one thing at the table that they forced me to write down some good reasons of why I bought the TS. Can they use this to be against me about my cancellation?
 
@Meimei_May No they cannot. You exercised your right to rescind and they can’t take that away from you for any reason.
 
I just checked tracking this morning and shows its still in transit.
I sent it on 2nd but guess its taking longer..

I am worried they get it after 7 days and create a problem ???

It does say following:
It’s a busy delivery time. Please track your package on this site or the app and keep a clear, safe path for all deliveries and holiday guests.

As long as its postmarked by 7 days I believe. So keep the proof you sent it within 7 days. You should be all set. Be prepared to hear nothing back from them. My mother just went through it last month. She rescinded, heard nothing, then the money back in her account.

It's the post-mark date, not the date of receipt, that is legally operative.

Thanks for sharing. The silent and patient waiting would be pailful if without knowing these successful rescission cases.

Not that long. Possibly a week or two
