Try to Cancel My WestGate Need Help!!!!

[vacationtime1]

All's well that ends well.

think things like this through and do my research before jumping into something.

Awesome! Now you can take your time to research all the ins and outs, ups and downs of owning a timeshare. There are many aspects to it that need lots of time to consider. Maybe even rent from a current owner for your next trip to see if timeshares are right for you.

HI. My husband and I recently went to the Orlando Westgate Resort Sunday and cancelled on Monday. We signed a contract to purchase a timeshare after 6 hours of listening to the salesman. The next day we went upstairs to cancel, had another pushy salesman trying to convince us of buying something for less. We declined and requested to cancel. I put it in writing to cancel the contract per FL statute with my right to cancel the contract. The only thing I received from them was a copy of my own letter stating they received their cheap tablet and binder and date items were received. They did not sign it nor did they put any information of their information on it. Do you think I still have to send another letter through USPS certified with a copy of my letter again? They took the copy of the contract and everything else. From what I do recall the contract said I could cancel in writing or other means.

Is your peace of mind worth the price of a letter and stamp? I thought so. Send one. You'll sleep better.- and have irrefutable proof. Congratulations!

True and thanks for the reply.

A letter, a stamp, and registered mail, return receipt requested.

Use certified mail, not registered mail as incorrectly suggested above. They are not the same thing and certified mail is what should be used for the rescission correspondence.

Yes, sorry! WackyLucy is correct!

Thanks all done. Now it's wait time.

Now it's wait time.

In the meantime, you would be well advised to not answer any incoming calls from unknown sources; there may be last ditch efforts by disappointed and hungry sales weasels to attempt to get you to change your mind. No possible good can come from any such (legally meaningless) phone conversations. Also, do not initiate any "follow up" calls to check on the status of your rescission; you won't get a straight (...and maybe not even an honest) response. They don't have to inform you of their progress at any time. Their only legal obligation is to process your properly and timely submitted rescission and issue 100% refund within 45 days. Refund will likely occur sooner than that, but could lawfully take up to 45 days. Wastegate has on occasion just barely met that 45 days deadline, according to the past TUG posts of others.

Contract rescission is a matter of state law, not one of voluntary developer kindness or benevolence. Stay off the phone on this matter and just let the law do its' work for you. No developer in the U.S. has the audacity to flaunt that particular law by not complying with a contract rescission properly and timely submitted to the correct address.

You're a lucky lady. You probably have learned that your Wastegate purchase would essentially be worthless in the resale market the moment your rescission period expired. Good job and well done.

Hi I really appreciate the information provided here. I was able to cancel my timeshare (it was in Orlando, Florida) by sending a letter. The refund was credited to my account 10 days after I mailed the letter through certified mail. I even got a letter from them confirming my cancellation.

This is the text I used in the letter. ( I took out the personal information.)

That's great that you were able to get your purchase rescinded. And it's a bonus that you received a confirmation letter. But just for the record, the companies are not obligated to confirm the rescission.

So I sent my letter out today and at the pose office The Old Winter Garden address did not show up, when doing more research I found a different address, as well as an address on my membership card I am planning on sending the letter to the new found address as well just to help cover myself. Did their address change or is this just another office.

What address do I write to? I'm 32 hours out from signing my contract? TIA

Does your contract have the rescission instructions with the address? How much was your TS?

I saw where they had a different address, did the address change?

If you don't mind my asking, what was the total price of your rescinded TS?

 

[Passepartout]

The Old Winter Garden Road address is the one listed for Wastegate's offices. Trust me, if it's changed, the mail will be forwarded. Note 'Recission Dep't' on the envelope.

 

[TheTimeTraveler]

If in doubt send the certified letter to BOTH addresses. This way you've covered yourself!

It may cost you a little more postage but you'll sleep better when you are done.

Is there a known phone number to them? Mine is through westgate in Kissimmee Florida

Why do you need a phone number? The ONLY legal way to cancel a timeshare purchase (if you are in within the rescission period) is to notify them via Certified Mail.

You DO NOT want to speak with them at all. That phone call "could" turn into a sales call and they will try to talk you out of rescinding.

You only have so many days in which to do this so get on it immediately. You will save thousands upon thousands of hard earned dollars! Buy a resale instead right here from TUG Classifieds (Marketplace).

You may have purchased in Kissimmee, but the business office that processed rescissions is in Ocoee, FL. You DO NOT want to talk to these people. Nothing good can come from that.- at least if you REALLY want to rescind.

Ok now I’m worried that I did something wrong with cancelling. I didn’t look at the CD because I don’t have a CD drive and I don’t know if there were any other papers in the binder about cancelling. There was a paragraph in the actual contact, which I found hidden in the back of the binder, that said just to write a letter and send it to the old winter garden address and I sent the materials they gave me to that too. I included our names, address, contract number, saying we want to cancel, and we signed it. Is this sufficient? I’m on day 2 of of my 10 day period.

I believe you will be fine, HOWEVER, if you will sleep better at night then do it again. Send it via Certified Mail, and do not answer any phone calls you receive from them as it will likely be disguised as a sales call (or to talk you out of rescinding).

Sharp call on your part to rescind! TUG members will be very proud of your decision to stay away from Wastegate!

Send certified. Be sure both you and your SO or spouse sign. What state did you purchase? The state in which you purchase may give you only 5 date. What was the price of your Ts?
