Westgate Resorts Contract Fraud
Estimated Maintenance Fee Was $689 but Billed $849 as Use Fee

Traveling & Tourism

Like Jesse of Raymore Missouri, I have also been victimized by Westgate's maintenance fee scam. I purchased a unit in January of this year and was required to sign a document stating that the estimated annual maintenance fee would be $689. However, when I got the bill three months later, I find that Westgate is charging $849. On Jesse's report to consumer complaints, there was a rebuttal from a Westgate employee claiming that the reason that estimate, was lower that what Westgate actually charged was due to rising taxes, fuel etc. Obviously, that Westgate employee's response doesn't hold water because on the bill that I received, the charge for tax is a different charge altogether. But what really concerns me is that they list the $849 as a use fee (although we have not used the time share nor are we even permitted to use it until later). There is also a column for maintenance which shows 0$. It appears that Westgate is leaving an open door so they can commit fraud later on. Judging by the complaints that I have seen against Westgate, it would not surprise me if later on, they charge me another exorbitant fee and call it maintenance.

Also, I arranged for payments to Westgate to be automatically charged to my credit card, to ensure payments would always be on time and there should never be any late payments. Despite that, Westgate invented a $25 late fee for an amount that was never billed nor was there ever a "payment due by" date specified.

Apparently, Westgate is getting by with way to much and it is probably past time for a massive class action suit to be imposed to bring this abusive behavior of Westgate to a halt.
