Would love to be kept up-to-date on your progress. I am also going to file with state attorney general's office in Tennessee and Florida. Will check out that website. Thanks.

I am a fellow Kentuckian and have a very similar experience with Westgate. I was SO GLAD to see your report that I almost shouted. We didn't purchase a timeshare, but they gave us a similar offer: pay for a one-week stay at Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort and we will hold the price that we've offered you for the timeshare for 2 years and also give you 4 getaway weeks, which you can sell! YES, we were told we could sell these weeks, just like you. Also, just like you, we found out that this is simply not true after I contacted a lady at Leisure Time Passport who had no response to my statement that I was told I could sell my weeks by my Westgate Salesperson. I guess she didn't want to say that they lied. I am currently in a dispute with Westgate and am not paying anything else. A verbal contract is just as binding as a written one and they breached the contract that we signed by lying and telling us that we could sell our getaway weeks. I have mailed a letter to David Siegel, filed a report with the BBB, contacted an attorney, filed a dispute with my credit card company(still waiting on their answer), and have sent a fax to Mr. Steven Grecco after he sent me a Default notice. My husband has tried repeatedly to have someone call him back and they refuse to respond to our requests. I gave Mr. Grecco 10 days to call my husband and if he doesn't I am going to file an official complaint with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission. I don't know whether any of this will work and I will get my money back, but I am going to go through every avenue I can think of. I would love to hear from others who have been lied to about their getaway weeks!! Also, I will keep you updated on my progress if you would like!
