Are you still getting calls about your timeshare? What You Need to Know
Many people who used to own timeshares feel relieved when they think they are no longer responsible for the fees. A larger number of people are reporting a frustrating and confusing problem, though, they keep getting cold calls from people who say they still own their timeshare even after they believe they no longer own it . Most of the time, these calls are from companies that help people get out of their timeshares or, even worse, scams who say the timeshare contract is still valid. It is unlikely that you have requested this contact from the cold calling company.
If this sounds like something you have seen, heard of been subjected to you should be extremely cautious and get professional help. These cold calls are a problem, and Sarah Waddington Solicitors can help you stay safe in this situation because we know a lot about Timeshare and the cold calls which are being made which you need to avoid.
Why do I keep getting calls?
People often do not understand how third-party companies know about their past Timeshare ownership when they keep calling them. A lot of timeshares owner’s details is available, and this is where your contact details appear. Timeshare owners may not be sure if they really got out of their contracts after getting these unwanted calls, which are often aggressive, worrying and persuasive.
Even more worrying, these cold callers may insist that your exit wasn’t properly finished, that you should have certain documentation (which quite frankly doesn’t exist) or that you still owe money, which makes many people doubt the validity of their exit.
What You Need to Know About Scams That Use Cold Calls
In this situation, cold calling by a third party is not only annoying, but it could also be dangerous. A lot of these callers should not be able to see your personal information, and it is often hard to tell why they want it. Some businesses may say they can help you “finally” leave your timeshare ownership , even if you have already done so, but then they will charge you a lot of money for services that don’t do what they say they will and these are services that you are unlikely to need.
It is important to know the type of tricks these companies use
