Westgate misleads people, using manipulative tactics to trap them in a cycle of debt. Their marketing is designed to hide the negative aspects of their product and bury critical information in fine print—details that are nearly impossible to read or fully understand. During the contract signing, they handed me paperwork filled with small print, knowing I had no time to review it, yet expected me to trust their word without question. Don’t trust a word they tell you! This all started in January 2021 in Florida. Upon arriving at our hotel, we were approached by a Westgate rep in the hotel lobby and was offered a "free" 4-day, 3-night vacation to attend a timeshare presentation.He asked me about my occupation and income, and then he immediately scheduled me for the timeshare presentation. He assured me that I would receive the vacation package after the presentation. I returned to Florida in August 2021, with my children. The kids were thrilled, but, I found myself under intense pressure to upgrade my contract. The agent showed us fancy rooms with Jacuzzis and high-end amenities. After a long day of being pressured, I caved and upgraded. After several months of making payments, I received a call from a Westgate agent, who suggested I purchase additional points to use for vacations anywhere in the world! I paid $3,600 for 45,000 points. However, when I tried to use those points for a trip to Dubai, Westgate claimed to know nothing about the points program. When I asked about the equity I had supposedly built up in the property, they told me that timeshares don’t function like physical property and gave me the runaround. Westgate reported me to the credit bureau, and my credit score dropped from 795 to 620. As a result, I am now unable to secure a home for myself and my children, which has severely impacted on our mental health. After researching, I discovered that the entire timeshare system was a scam! Had they been honest, I would never have agreed to any of this. 08
