Just need to clarify something.

I saw the tug article on timeshare rescinding advice.- http://tug2.net/timeshare_advice/cancel_timeshare_purchase.html

My question is - I am sending all copies of my documents to the time share includington the timeshare cancellation form and am keeping all originals. Your article mentions to do that as a best practice. I hope they wont try to avoid my attempt to cancel the contract due to this.

Input is appreciated.

The law protects you, all you really have to do is say you want to cancel, but sending copies of everything back including any incentives can quicken the process, in my opinion. I rescinded a Wyndham once when they wouldn't allow me to read all the docs, I took them and read them and hand delivered it back along with the tiny Champagne bottle.

So if I understand you correctly you're saying as long as I send the proper paperwork for cancelation it shouldn't matter if its the copied or original documents. I have a trip that I think they can cancel on their end and some movie tickets the I can return if needed other than that I can't think of anything else that would be part of what they gave me

I sent fed ex and they dont do certified mail but they do signature required and provide all of the step by step tracking. I hope that will be sufficient.
Cut off date isn't till tomorrow night if I need to send another one but via USPS I guess I can do that. You think necessary?

Fed ex tracks and show delivery so I believe that is sufficient.

Welcome to Tug. Congratulations on rescinding.

Thank you! I hope all is well with how I sent it. Yes fed ex does those things. Paid extra for it. Just got at least one email already with progress. They said they'll send email with signature and name of person signed for document as soon as document is delivered. Signature delivery only.


Thanks a lot everyone for your input . The support here is incredible. It can be nerve racking through this process.

What do the instructions say in your owner's package about rescinding? They likely say to send it via USPS certified mail. If that is what the instructions say, then that's what I would do even though you already sent it via FedEx. It might be a couple of bucks but it is great peace of mind.

I just re-sent as USPS certified today. Also got email notice with signature about 2 hours ago that the FedEx envelope was received and signed for.

Thank to all of you for your help.

I don’t think they are required to give you an update. They will probably send you to another salesman to sweeten the deal and try to get you to not rescind or try to use scare tactics to keep you. Just wait until your deposit is returned on your credit card. Remember, it’s the law to give the rescind period, but not give an update.

They won't give me an update if I call? We're wondering if there is anything else we can do besides wait for deposit return to make sure the cancellation got processed.

Don’t contact them, they will try to talk you into buying from them. Just wait til you see the deposit returned.

Thank you everyone. Received my deposit back yesterday. Took about a week from date of sending letter. Not bad at all. I appreciate your patience and help. I will be looking into renting or the resale market for good deals.

I have some movie ticket vouchers they gave me when I came to the presentation. Not sure if I need to return those or not. No one has said anything to me and I'm not sure if that was part of me c0ming to the presentation or signing on the dotted line at the end of the presentation.

Thoughts? Trying to avoid calling them if possible.

They gave me back the full refund and didn't send me any communication about needing to return them so I'm leaning toward they gave them to me for coming to the presentation, along with a "free" not so free trip. Just want to return if needed.

The rule is send it like they say. Sending it two or three different way won't hurt but won't help either...

One issue is resort group , where the cancellation form is supposed to go to has no telephone number listed. Only the physical address. So when sending via FedEx etc they ask for a tel # of the recipient. Not sure if USPS requires that. Do you have suggestions pls.? Thnx!

Hi ! Has anyone gotten a call or email from developer as soon as they received the letter of cancellation?
We are tracking the shipment . I sent 3 copies in different ways including certified . Should have received by today …
When they say 5 days … does it include weekends? Also should we post within 5 days or should they receive by the 5 th day ?
Anxiously waiting …very stressful !
thank all!

Post by fifth. No, they won’t call. If they do, don’t answer. Relax, have a beer (or tea, margarita, or apple juice).
