This is to let everyone know that we did receive a refund from Bluegreen. The key is cancelling in the allotted time which varies from state to state so READ your contract and Owner's Kit immediately.

We were approached in a Bass Pro shop and offered a vacation if we would attend a Bluegreen timeshare presentation. Like idiots, we fell for the presentation and signed a contract to purchase. We were in Seiverville, TN. Back at the hotel, we looked thoroughly at the Owner's Kit they had given us.

It was a huge binder full of information. We realized that we did not want this timeshare and read further to see if there was a cancellation option. We found we could cancel in 10 days. Bluegreen NEVER mentioned one word to us about the buyer having a cancellation period.

Our presentation was on Saturday, 7/28/12. On 7/29/12 we returned the Owner's Kit to the presentation site and received a receipt for it. On 7/30/12 we typed and printed a cancellation letter at the local library using the language in the cancellation option. We had the letter notarized at a local bank.

We included a copy of the receipt for the return of the Owner's Kit, and sent the letter overnight to the address given in the cancellation option which was in Boca Raton, FL. We stopped payment on our check and notified our credit card company that we would dispute this charge should Bluegreen charge us. Bluegreen did charge our credit card. I called every Friday and was told each time that Bluegreen would (or had) cancelled the contract on 8/7/12.

I was told we would receive a refund on the credit card, but the times varied depending on to whom I was speaking. Some said 20 business days while others said 30-45 days, all beginning with Bluegreen's date of 8/7/12.

Eventually, we did receive a refund on the credit card on 8/30/12 which was not posted until 9/2/12. I just wanted to let those know who are waiting on a refund that Bluegreen did refund our money.

Did you get out of it

My husband and I just purchased from this company on this past Friday. The entire experience has been a complete nightmare.

I feel as though we've been scammed on so many levels. So I Googled about canceling and ran across this forum. I'm about to do a letter right now. I pray I can get out of this mess.

No more vacation package deals for this family. We'll just scrounge like we been doing until we get enough for a trip.

What was it that made you decide to cancel? Other than feeling rushed? We just purchased one yesterday.

Did you get your money back

Guest

Thank you for share your experience.

Thanks for posting all of this!! Hereโ€™s my update: went to presentation in Tennessee on August 14th.

My wife and I decided we didnโ€™t want it on the 16th. We sent our rescission letter notarized and certified and it was received on the 21st. Now Iโ€™m happy to say that it is only the 30th of August and we already got a full refund on everything. Also I did NOT send the kit back and they didnโ€™t charge me for it.

It doesnโ€™t state anywhere in the contract that I have to send it back so I didnโ€™t . I also spent the 100 dollar debit gift card and 50 dollar restaurant gift card they gave me and also planned a 7 night vacation for free they gave me before they returned my money. Oh well I guess good for me called bank just to confirm refund and made copies of everything in case anything comes back to bite me in the ***!!

You snooze you lose Bluegreen you thought you had another person fooled with your games. Guess again

Thank your for the information you shared i followed the steps on how to cancel the contract and already received a refund and my purchased was cancelled the staff that helped me were very nice to me the only reason i cancelled my contract was because i felt like i rushed making the decision to purchase and when i started looking at reviews i got cold feet and decided to cancel the contract am glad i did the research before my 5 day cancellation agreement even though they told me i had 30 days. Once again thanks for the information you shared.

Guest

Thank you for sharing; I also bought in and realized I did not want it a cple days later. I was stressing wondering if I could cancel, so your post helped me immensely!

I found where we have 10 days to canx. We also were hovered over for hours and hours with no food or time to discuss amongst ourselves; basically time to think. They even walked us out to our car at the end. Anyway, thanks for the icanx.

info. The request to canx going out tomorrow 3rd day in.
