Curious about something. I sent this letter via Registered/Certified mail and was supposed to be delivered on this past saturday but still hasn't been delivered.

It is showing this on the USPS status page: The package is delayed and will not be delivered by the expected delivery date. An updated delivery date will be provided when available. The item is currently in transit to the destination as of April 2, 2017 at 3:32 am.

Any recommendations?

If within the recession period, send again.

As long it was postmarked within the rescind timeframe you're good. Keep the receipt to show when it was mailed.

I would also print off the online tracking page showing the delay. Also you can call corporate in Las Vegas and get a fax number. Fax all three items. Copy of letter, certified mail receipt and online tracking page. Finally ask for email confirmation that they received all the above

Most importantly, make sure you get credited for the down payment. . .

Fax rescission to 702-304-4217 Attention Rescission Department. Include everything mention above and get the email confirmation. You will sleep better tomorrow night. Most fax machines can print receipt also

This is where the "mail box" rule is your friend and why you want to use USPS certified mail.

The date you mailed the letter is the date of the recession. And here you have certified mail receipt establishing that date.

I got a secure email saying the post date was wrong which I assume was from the fax that I sent. Called today and they said it did finally get delivered and the rescind is in process. I recorded the conversation and got the lady's name and operator number (And yes it is legal as I am in Virginia and only one person needs to know about the recording). Waiting for another secure email with the confirmation in writing though.

They evidently only looked at the date of your fax not the Post Office information.

Would be interesting how hard Wyndham would fight if your original letter never got delivered.

Glad everything worked out for you.

A reminder to ALL here ...

Using USPS Certified Mail for legal purposes, it is the DATE of mailing which counts. YOU must keep the PROOF of mailing and a copy of the letter. In my state (and I would believe might be true elsewhere), you should also send via Regular Mail copy at the same time and date .. referencing the mailing at the bottom of both letters. For example:

cc: Certified Mail A1234 1234 1234 4321
Regular Mail

Maybe. If the person you spoke with was in Florida (and they probably were), Florida is an all-party state. I do not know how the conflicting standards between the two states is resolved, but it is not immediately clear that you can record w/o consent in this case.

They sold you on a BIG MAC with the special sauce... the special sauce you can only get with a McDonald's purchase.

If you buy on the resale market, you get 95% of the BIG MAC but KEEP thousands of YOUR dollars to buy steak.

Best analogy yet.

I wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me with this. I did get the final rescind confirmation from Wyndham. Also have a bunch of research here I looked at many online sales of wyndham timeshare points and also bid on a few of them on eBay that I lost out because of snipe bidders. I ended up finding a great deal on the marketplace for here 280,000 points. Now just have to wait the 90-180 days to get closed. :)
