Westgate Change in Policy - Is it Legal?

[Q=renees238] I do not believe this is legal and would gladly participate in retaining counsel to proceed..When we purchased our timeshare we were told by the WESTGATE TIMESHARE SALESMAN that our deed could be transferred to our family or friends with the same rights as originally sold to the original owners "Just like a Deed to a house or Condo" ..We purchased a 2nd timeshare from an individual on a resale that now cannot be banked without a $450 fee instead of the $150 fee by the one sold originally from the Westgate salesman..If anyone has spoken with a lawyer or recommends one in Orlando.. please post the contact information ..thank you~![/Q] One more time .... what is verbally stated by a timeshare sales person has no bearing in a court of law .... the written contract is the only legally binding standing. Were the previous exchange fees stated in your contract? If not, then I'm afraid you're out of luck.
