California time share won't refund my downpayment

Went to a tortureous 90 timeshare seminar 08/03/03 which lasted 4 hours. I agreed to buy the timeshare on the condition that I could cancel if I changed mind within 72 hours. They agreed then took my picture against my will.

I discovered that I left credit card at home; they came home w/me bringing a credit card imprint machine... gave me receipt and left.

On 08/05/03 signed their recind clause form, sent it by certified mail/Return receipt mailing all within 72 Hours!

Two weeks later, inquired of my refund. The timeshare representative stated escrow had already closed, so sorry you are too late!

I told them the date and mode of my mailing and that I wanted my refund of $930.00. The representative just keep repeating the same thing.

I need to go to small claims with this I guess. How much punitive damage award could/should I ask for?? -Need Help in California

***Don't you wish you would have snuck out and went home without them? We have a timeshare too. A really bad investment and those people of ruthless***


On 08/05/03 signed their recind clause form, sent it by certified mail/Return receipt mailing all within 72 Hours!


***This was your second mistake. You should have hand delivered or faxed your signature on this form. Actually hand delivery would have been better, and then send another copy rrr***




Two weeks later, inquired of my refund. The timeshare representative stated escrow had already closed, so sorry you are too late!


***Why did you wait 2 weeks to inquire about your refund? I would have demanded the refund in my correspondence. Did you not have to sign any escrow documentation?***


I told them the date and mode of my mailing and that I wanted my refund of $930.00. The representative just keep repeating the same thing.


***Now you will probably have to resell it. Good luck! We have been trying to do that for years and its virtually impossible and the timeshare company will not resell it for you either. I hope whatever you bought is something you can use and be benefited by***
