Timeshare upgrade agreement "forfeiture" (by Canjanika B.):
I prepaid for a vacation (stupid mistake) while in the Bahamas that carried an option to upgrade to a timeshare. I was asked if I was interested in upgrading the membership, to which I responded "yes". I was sent documents and noticed fees for contract preparation (ie copying off previously drawn up documents and putting sign here stickers on them) in the amount of $300. I never signed or returned the documents. I was them told bc I didn't sign the documents I would now have to pay this additional fee along with FedEx fees. After speaking with the sales agent I was told I would have more time to think it over and my reservations would he booked for my original trip. After this conversation I then received a letter stating I forfeited my agreement and now all monies paid are held as penalty. They are trying to swindle me out of my prepaid trip because I would not sign on for the timeshare. Is this legal when they have no signed documents?
