Westgate Resorts / Timeshare Scam They LIED to me through High Pressure Sales Tactics by claiming I could Cancel Ownership at anytime. LIES LIES LIES Orlando FL
Report Attachments
Once upon a time I owned a Timeshare with Westgate Resorts. I attended one of their high pressure sales presentations to get Free tickets to Universal Studios. Several hours later I bought a timeshare unit. A few years later I upgraded to all year booking with no black out dates. The promise they made to me was that I could cancel my ownership at anytime through their Westgate Legacy Program. This was a complete LIE. When I tried to cancel my ownership they refused to accept it and they told me I would be paying them for the rest of my life. That included the purchase price of the property Deed ($32K) and yearly Maintenance Fees of $1400 per year. I WAS HORRIFIED BECAUSE THEY LIED TO ME DURING THE CONTRACT SIGNING (32 Pages). Westgate Resorts do not allow you to cancel your ownership even though they say you can.
Being unable to cancel my ownership as promised by WR, I hired a timeshare cancellation Attorney for $4000.00. I cancelled my ownership through a legal process which is on file in the County Comptrollers Office in Orlando, FL. My property Deed was legally returned to Westgate Resorts releasing me of all legal obligations to WR.
The horror didn’t stop there. Westgate Resorts continued to bill me for the property even though I no longer owned it and they had the Deed back. This went on until it went into collections and was reported to the Credit Bureaus. Despite my proof that I no longer owned the property, Experian refused to remove the negative entry from my credit report. This went on until Collections went into Foreclosure which was also listed on my credit report no thanks to Experian. WR was trying to ruin my life because I found a way to legally cancel my ownership despite their LIES.
Even through all of this, hundreds of owner's filed a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against Westgate Resorts for being lied to, unable to book their weeks, and being unable to cancel their ownership through the WR Legacy Program. Westgate Resorts uses high pressure sales tactics to lure unsuspecting victims into buying a Timeshare with them with FREE PARK TICKETS by lying to them about their rights and options and then refusing to allow them to cancel their ownership even though they boast that their Legacy Programs allows them to do so. LIES LIES LIES!
Staying at the Resorts is nice as a NON-OWNER because then it is just a Hotel. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BUY A TIMESHARE FROM THEM. YOU WILL REGRET IT AND SOON REALIZE IT'S CHEAPER TO JUST STAY THERE AS A NORMAL NIGHTLY GUEST.
The Legacy Program is a SCAM to calm prospective owners into thinking they can cancel their ownership whenever they want. YOU CAN"T !

Was thereva Clause or Provision in the Contract which states this? Did you READ the Contract BEFORE you agreed to the terms? You signed a Contract, not the tongue of the sales person. You can FORGET the Clasds Action whining. If that is the Clause you wanted, then YOU should have READ the contract to see it printed there. Of course, if it is in that contract, I'll help you celebrate!
