During a trip to Las Vegas, I was coerced and deceived by two Westgate salespeople. They assured me that I was purchasing property, that I would own it outright after 10 years, that my grandson could live there while he was attending college, and that I could even use it to earn rental income. At no point did they inform me how this timeshare worked, and I am now experiencing financial hardship because of their lies and coercion. Comparing the costs of the timeshare vs. a hotel, they pitched us a number which I flat out refused. It was significantly higher than what I could afford, and I explained as much. They followed up by stating that this would still be cheaper eventually and would grant us access to fabulous locations around the world. When they lowered the number, I refused again. I remember asking if my grandson could live there while he was attending college, and they said yes. This was the key to convincing me to buy. If they had explained how frequently I would be able to use this contract (zero times) I obviously never would’ve moved forward with buying it. Unfortunately, that never happened though, and I was convinced my grandson could live there, which seemed like a dream come true. The length of the sales pitch was over 5 hours, and the time we spent reviewing paperwork was less than 30 minutes. I was never told that my maintenance fees would increase over time. I was never told that I could rescind this contract according to Nevada law. And I was never told about the stunning lack of availability. Instead of being provided with the information I needed, I was told a pack of lies. I was assured that I would own this outright and could live there–or have my grandson live there–after I had finished paying it off. This was crucial in my decision-making process, and if I learned that this wasn’t possible then I wouldn’t have agreed to sign. I feel ashamed that I got involved with this company, but to my credit I was conned. Shame on Westgate Resorts.
