I just wanted to visit Disney World. I was invited to a timeshare meeting for receiving a free night's stay in a Holiday Inn that was so filthy that my children and I slept on top of the covers on our backs with our clothes and shoes on. I attended the meeting, and the saleswoman with very bad breath tried for "hours" to talk me into buying a timeshare. I had just lost my mother and brother-in-law two months ago and just came to Disney to try to smile again. By the time I left I had written my information down and unfortunately did not ask for the information back. My final commication to this woman was NO, I do not want the timeshare, because I cannot afford it. She gave me her phone number and said to call her "if I changed my mind." I did not call her and thought that was the end of it. I spent 4 days in Orlando before driving back to Atlanta. Of course no one gets around to reading the big stack of papers you received from them until you get back to where ever home is. Unfortunately by that time it is tooooooo late. You have 5 days to call them and cancel a contract you didn't even know you had in the first place. You of course do not sign up for the $8, 000 timeshare, but you do unknowingly enter into a contact for a 7 day vacation package totaling over $500. Of course when I called Westgate Orlando after receiving a payment book in the mail and the rep. told me I only had 5 days to cancel, and that I should have read the paperwork. I think that is fraudelent and they have to be stopped. Why not give someone at least 30 days to cancel. Westgate only gives its victims 5 days because they know more often than not people came to Disney to have fun and by the time they get around to reading it 5 days have long passed. I want to sue Westgate and it would be great if a class action suit can be initiated so that these people can be stopped!

Frustrated,
