I am attempting to use the legacy program at Westgate, and the fee quoted is now $1000. Before I agree to make payment I requested an agreement or contract stating the $1000 is for deeding the timeshare back to Westgate and that no future charges will be due my me. Response was they have no such form, but will respond back by email that they have receipt of payment after payment is made. Then you just wait for their group to process the paperwork. I have been billed for 2020 maintenance fees which I do not want to be responsible for. I have no balance owing Westgate at this time. Is this how the legacy program works?

We successfully went through the Legacy program and no, they didn't provide a "preview" contract. But once payment was made, it went smoothly. They sent paperwork that we had to sign (notarized) then the deed was transferred. Once completed, we received documentation that showed we were released from future obligations. You mentioned a bill for 2020 maintenance fees. Make sure they don't require that be paid first. We were told that EVERYTHING must be current before they would take the deed back. Recognize that you don't have a lot of leverage. Take the deal while the it's on the table. You don't want to see them pull the offer because they have "too much" inventory or some other reason.
