Desperate times equal Desperate Actions by non-regulated companies
We are getting an alarmingly high level of reports from people calling in and checking facts with us.
Some Timeshare owners are being cold-called several times a day by unregulated companies making ridiculous claims. So, let’s deal with a few more facts.
Timeshare facts
Fact: Just because you own, or once owned, a timeshare does not mean you are automatically entitled to compensation; far from it. Do NOT take the word a of a non-legally trained Sales Rep when they tell you that you’re 100% owed thousands, then tries to take money from you upfront. All they want is your money. DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.
Fact: You are not guaranteed to double your money by putting your claim into Spain. Indeed, if a Spanish company is in Liquidation, which many are, Insolvency Rules prevent legal proceedings being issued.
Fact: Non-regulated marketing companies have no legal expertise. You can go directly to a solicitor for far less money and get the job done professionally. Ask yourself: would you go to your local butchers for a haircut?
Legal Advice
As we have advised on numerous occasions, timeshare law is extremely complicated. Timeshare contracts have evolved into ever more complex documents. It is impossible for a non-legally trained sales rep, or whatever title they give themselves, to advise you on the merits of your claim without looking at your paperwork.
If they claim to be a solicitor, simply check whether they are on the Solicitors Register on the SRA website. It’s easy to contact us, and we will be able to advise you for free.
If you have had one of these calls, or are not sure where you stand with your Timeshare ownership, simply call us. Its FREE for a 30-minute consultation. Within that 30 minutes, we can normally give you some indication of where you stand. If you want a more detailed explanation, you can send in your paperwork. You have nothing to lose, and only peace of mind to gain.
