The Legal Process
Timeshare law is incredibly complex and no two cases are identical. The products being sold under the various timeshare arrangements have often been developed and refined over decades and can involve highly complicated exchange schemes.
Multiple investigations will have to be undertaken, using different laws and regulations, to determine the legal grounds applicable to build a case for termination of individual contracts.
We have put together this guide to illustrate the typical process undertaken by Sarah Waddington Legal Espana for a Timeshare Relinquishement case:
COMPLIANCE CHECK
- Initial compliance check over the telephone
- Answer any questions you may have and explain what will happen during your claim.
- Make sure all paperwork has been completed and correctly signed
COLLATION OF CASE FILE: ADMIN OFFICER
