...in November I bought from a salesperson named Barrett whose sales pitch was that he had a side business and was allowed by Diamond to use points that I wasn't going to use for the year to reserve and sell weeks for me. He would then transfer 90% of the money to me and I could use it to pay off the down payment and Maintenance fees each year. He even showed emails that were supposedly to other clients. So I bought, he reserved 3 weeks in my name for December of this year, all at the same place for the same week. I contacted him yesterday for an update and he replied that he never said any of that and I misunderstood him.

Regardless of what may have been "said", those spoken words were just meaningless noise floating temporarily around in the air.

When it comes to contracts, if something is not plainly and overtly stated in writing within the contract, it simply does not exist at all. Deceitful timeshare sales weasels know that this is indisputably true and they routinely use that fact to their advantage in their quest for a sale and commission. Lies, exaggerations, misrepresentations, fairy tales and assorted obfuscations are all just "par for the course" with those hungry parasites (Wyndham and Westgate are, in my personal opinion, co-champions for the dubious distinction of being the worst here in the U.S.).This is exactly why the contract itself makes it crystal clear, in writing, that any and all verbal statements made have no significance and are not in any way legally binding.

You can complain all you want and / or pursue whatever action you choose, but the indisputable bottom line (and all that really matters in the final analysis) is "What does it say in the contract?"
