After being frauded by Westgate in Gatlinburg we sought assistance through the attorney general in TN which proved to be a waste of time and paper. Our complaint is on file with all the others, but no action was taken. We were advised to look into a lawyer. We were shown a premium 3 bedroom pedestal unit which we decided was what we wanted, but the sales manager came out and said he had found a foreclosure on a 4 bedroom pedestal unit just like the one we saw and it was less money than the 3 bedroom. It turns out when we went to use it for the first time that we had been royally scammed. Our sales contract states that we purchased a pre-construction unit which was to be completed by March of the following year, but the actual unit number listed on that same sales contract is a unit at least 25 percent smaller and completely different sleeping accommodations. And this unit had been completed and in use for 2-1/2 years at the time of this sales contract. That means Westgate prepared a fraudulent contract and knowingly misrepresented this sale. I know the Overton's won their case, but legal fees were 136,000. Not everybody has that kind of money to risk losing. And there are no perks for owners that are not available to the public for rent. We have gone to the water park when school buses loaded with kids pulled up and it was so crowded we, the owners, had to leave. Deborah1115
