Re: Get out of Westgate Resorts (by Irene P.):

If Westgate is willing to take back for a fee, accept it. Five WG owners reached out to me. WG took back three no questions asked for $1000. Two they would not take back because one a 1BR and the other in Branson. The first an African American, age 69, four surgeries due to repetitive motion injuries incurred as a pipe-fitter. She is single. Her company would pay for the surgery but not lost wages. They used the timeshare twice in 15 years. The other a couple both diagnosed with cancer. In a Resorts Trade article, they pat themselves on the back for being a founder of ARDA's Coalition for Responsible Exit. The cancer patient called the Legacy department, got transferred around and ended up with a supervisor who said, "We don't have an exit and that's not our website." After exposure, they took it back and waived the maintenance fees.

Alvelo, I would love to talk to you. I'm easy to find. Have you seen the documentary The Queen of Versailles about their 90,000 square foot home in Orlando with 30 bathrooms, an ice-skating rink and Jackie's clothes closet 5,000. My African American owner is Jackie too. Took best documentary at Sundance.
