When my DW and I endured our last Timeshare Sales onslaught at Rancho Mirage, we regrettably signed up for their "Explorer Package" agreement: we pay them a large chunk of cash over time, and after it's paid off they'll give us a bunch of Starwood points and the right to endure another sales onslaught within a year.
We want out, now, for a variety of reasons. We've paid $600 to them over time. They, of course, won't voluntarily reimburse us for that amount if we cancel.
Since we've not received anything, though, I was wondering if anyone here knows if there's legal recourse in getting our money back. It's certainly unlikely -- I'm sure Starwood worded their contract very specifically to stop this kind of thing -- but also have heard that one can't sign away one's rights.
Since we've received nothing in return for the money we've paid, is there any chance of getting it back? Like a magic legal phrase like "by the power of the TUG Anti-Scam Act of 2003, you must return my deposit!"?
I thought it was worth asking, at least. Otherwise, we'll just chalk it up as stupidity tax.
Cheers!
