The Westgate people typically said that she couldn't rescind. She signed the contract last Wednesday, a week ago tomorrow.
Florida Statute 721.10 governs the cancellation of timeshare purchases.
It provides:
(1) A purchaser has the right to cancel the contract until midnight of the 10th calendar day following whichever of the following days occurs later:
(a) The execution date; or
(b) The day on which the purchaser received the last of all documents required to be provided to him or her...
This right of cancellation may not be waived by any purchaser or by any other person on behalf of the purchaser. Furthermore, no closing may occur until the cancellation period of the timeshare purchaser has expired. Any attempt to obtain a waiver of the cancellation right of the timeshare purchaser, or to hold a closing prior to the expiration of the cancellation period, is unlawful...
--------------------
She needs to _read_ the contract that she signed to find the rescision instructions (usuallly near the end). She must follow those instructions to the letter, even if she thinks there's a better way. Some folks think that "certified mail, return receipt requested" is needed. She can do that, but some offices refuse to sign for certified mail, so a second letter with "delivery confirmation" only should be used.
Westage has several corporate offices. If the address is not specified in the contract, she should send a copy of the letter to every address she can find in the materials they gave her.
