[Date] [Timeshare Developer Name] Legal Department [Address] SENT VIA CERTIFIED MAIL Re: CLRA § 1782 Demand for Rescission – Contract #[Contract Number] Property: [Resort Name, Unit/Week] Purchase Date: [Date] Dear [Developer]: This is a demand pursuant to California Civil Code § 1782 for rescission of a timeshare purchase contract based on violations of the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA). CONTRACT AND PURCHASE: • Contract Number: [######] • Property: [Resort Name, Unit/Week Number] • Purchase Date: [Date] • Purchase Price: $[Amount] • Amount Paid: $[Down Payment + Maintenance Fees + Loan Payments] • Outstanding Balance: $[Amount] (if financed) MISREPRESENTATIONS DURING SALES: During the sales presentation on [Date] at [Location], [Developer's] sales representatives made the following material misrepresentations that induced my purchase: 1. RESALE VALUE MISREPRESENTATION: [Salesperson Name] represented that the timeshare would "appreciate like real estate" and would be worth "$[Amount] in [X] years." Reality: Timeshares have no resale value. I have researched secondary markets (eBay, RedWeek, Craigslist) and found identical units selling for $1 or being given away. Many owners pay thousands to exit contracts. 2. EXCHANGE AVAILABILITY MISREPRESENTATION: I was told I could "easily exchange" to "thousands of resorts worldwide" through RCI/Interval International. Reality: Exchange availability is extremely limited. I have logged into [Exchange Company] and found virtually no availability for desirable locations/dates. Exchange requires additional fees of $[Amount] making it cost-prohibitive. 3. PROPERTY QUALITY MISREPRESENTATION: Sales materials showed [luxury photos, recently renovated units, upscale amenities]. Reality: When I visited the property on [Date], the accommodations were dated, poorly maintained, and significantly inferior to what was represented in sales materials (attached photos). 4. RENTAL INCOME MISREPRESENTATION: I was told I could "easily rent" my week for "$[Amount] per week" to offset maintenance fees. Reality: Rental market is flooded with timeshares. Rental rates are far below maintenance fees, making rental income impossible. [Developer] provided no rental assistance as promised. 5. PRESSURE TACTICS AND FALSE URGENCY: The sales presentation lasted over [X hours]. I was told the price was "only available today" and subjected to high-pressure tactics to sign immediately without opportunity for independent review. CLRA VIOLATIONS: 1. § 1770(a)(5) – FALSE ADVERTISING: [Developer] falsely advertised the timeshare as an appreciating investment with rental income potential and easy exchange capability. 2. § 1770(a)(7) – SERVICES NOT AS REPRESENTED: The property, exchange program, and resale/rental opportunities are materially different from what was represented during sales. 3. § 1770(a)(9) – INTENT NOT TO PROVIDE SERVICES: [Developer] made promises (rental assistance, appreciation, exchange ease) knowing these representations were false and that they could not/would not deliver. 4. § 1770(a)(14) – UNCONSCIONABLE CONTRACT: The contract contains unconscionable terms: • Perpetual maintenance fee obligations that escalate annually without cap • Contract binds heirs, creating multi-generational liability • One-sided termination clauses favoring developer • Virtually impossible to exit or resell PATTERN OF MISCONDUCT: [Developer's] misrepresentations are not isolated. [Developer] has [settled with State AG / been sued in class action / received hundreds of BBB complaints] for identical deceptive sales practices (see attached documentation). DAMAGES: • Total paid to date: $[Down Payment + Maintenance Fees + Loan Payments] • Future maintenance fee liability: $[Estimated lifetime obligation] • Total economic harm: $[Amount] DEMANDED RELIEF: Pursuant to California Civil Code § 1782, I demand that [Developer] cure these CLRA violations within 30 days by: 1. RESCINDING the timeshare contract 2. REFUNDING all money I have paid: $[Total Amount] 3. CANCELING any outstanding promissory note or financing 4. RELEASING all liens and security interests 5. CONFIRMING in writing that I have no further obligations If [Developer] provides appropriate relief within 30 days of receiving this letter, no lawsuit will be filed. If [Developer] fails to cure, I will file a CLRA action seeking: • Rescission of contract • Refund of all money paid • Statutory damages up to $5,000 per violation (CLRA § 1780(a)(1)) • Attorney fees and costs (CLRA § 1780(e)) • Injunctive relief I have also initiated a credit card chargeback [if applicable] and will file complaints with the California Attorney General and Department of Real Estate. Please respond within 30 days confirming rescission and refund. Sincerely, [Your Signature] [Your Printed Name] [Address] [Email] [Phone] Enclosures: • Copy of timeshare contract • Sales presentation materials • Photos of property • Evidence of resale value research • [AG settlement / class action / BBB complaints]
