We just bought a Festiva timeshare. Got suckered into the going on the 90 min tour for the free laptop. Well we went to this said name 90 min tour that ended up being like 4 hours when it was all said and done with for this free laptop. The tour was full of all sorts things that seemed to be to good to be true so we ended up getting a time share that ended being about 7.000ish. We filled out all of the contracts and went home. My wife being the Type A personality that she is started to read every word of the contract that we had just signed and I decided to get on line and read some reviews on this seemingly awesome timeshare we had just bought. ( I know most people would do this before they bought something so expensive.) Well the first complete page on google was different reviews about how *** this company was and how much people had been screwed over. I didn't find any good reviews on Festiva at all except on their sight, so we decided to cancel the timeshare we had just bought. The contract can be canceled for a full refund as long as you do it within 5 days of purchase (of course they don't tell you about this). Now when we called the place we got the time share from they didn't answer of course we left a message and of course they never called back, so we called their corporate office well they put us on hold for like 15 min. This is where patience comes into play just keep waiting until you get someone. From there tell them you would like to cancel your contract. You'll have to send in a typed and signed statement of cancellation and you have to give back the binder that they give you or they will charge you like 80 bucks for it. As long as you get everything mailed off within the Five day time frame you're good. So the contract that screws most people over can also work in you're favor if used soon enough.

Their is a way out from under the bullshit that is Festiva as long as you're quick enough. Just remember Patience, Quickness, and a very angry woman on a phone can accomplish anything.
