The usual warning goes out to all readers: This and any other website should be vetted for credibility. In fact , what we have learned about websites should be practiced with anyone or any company working to get your business. So you should make sure that the person or group is legitimate, and trustworthy before doing business with anyone!!!!!!!!! On the web, in person, on the phone, or at Sandcastle.
The folks at the above website look to me like they can be helpful even for those whose contracts are older than the "cooling off period" or the "three day cancellation" time frame. Go to the site and read, research, ask your questions. I got great answers to questions asked.
When I heard about a flyer that had been circulated at Sandcastle in mid-August, that, according to some in the sales group, it constituted grounds for a lawsuit by the sales people against the distributor, I obtained a copy and asked for professional opinions about it.
The unanimous response, from attorneys and timeshare industry experts, was that the content of the flyer in no way obstructed anyone's business: It is well within the free speech rights of the producing individual/s ; that it didn't even express an opinion; that it merely advocated for owners to educate themselves before signing a contract; that one has rights to cancel a contract; and that timeshare week owners have rights to meet and talk in common areas, about whatever they please, and that they can put that in writing as well.
The bullying and intimidating tactics people tell me about at Sandcastle are just that, bullying and intimidation. They are bothersome and annoying and disturbing of the owners right to peacefully enjoy their time. Threats by a salesperson to call a sheriff to take away an unhappy non-buyer of the point system are empty. Just as an individual, you cannot call a sheriff to take the salesman away either, although you may have been clearly mistreated and possibly threatened.
There is still due process in this country, and no one can revoke your Constitutional rights just because they "say so". There are also procedures that anyone and everyone must follow to lodge a complaint or press charges. These procedures protect us all....victims and possible-perpetrators alike. In time, when the system works, the victims prevail and justice is served.
But the people, the victims, must take actions on their own behalf.
Make your notes, file your complaints, do your research, and work to get your contract canceled if you feel fraud was involved. You will be helping yourself and Sandcastle.
Seek your own attorney for legal advice, join a group that is taking action, and/or check out the following site:
