Major Win For Azure Timeshare Owners

Claim your refund from Barclays Partner Finance

Have you purchased from Azure Resorts? If so, you are entitled to a full refund, even if they have previously denied a claim.

In a major victory for consumers, Sarah Waddington Solicitors have received communication from Barclays Partner Finance (BPF) agreeing to refund all payments made by consumers in respect of their timeshare purchases from Azure Resort Limited (ARL) providing they meet the required criteria.

The decision means that if you meet the required conditions and made a purchase through Azure Resorts Limited, you are due a full refund. Those that believe they may be eligible for this refund or wish to know more can contact us for clarification.

Have Barclays Partner Finance (BPF) broken the regulations?

Acting on behalf of our Azure clients, we have been corresponding with BPF and the Financial Conduct Authority about the legalities of financial arrangements offered by BPF to assist customers looking to purchase from Azure Resorts. Although BPF have previously rejected some of our claims, BPF have now promised to refund all payments to Azure consumers.

What has happened?

The case is extremely complex and has taken several months. Our view was the role of credit intermediary had not been satisfactorily discharged in line with the regulations. We supported our case with substantial evidence and took advice from expert counsel.

Despite previously rejecting claims, BPF have now released this statement:

“Following a thorough and detailed review of complaints related to the Azure timeshare book, various factors have come to light that indicate Azure did not consistently adhere to the standards we expect of our credit brokers when providing credit to BPF/CFSL customers.’

As an Azure timeshare owner, how can I receive a full refund?

This admission means that anyone who made a purchase with Azure and meets the required criteria is entitled to a refund.

How do I know if I am a victim of an Azure mis-sold timeshare?

BPF’s admission means that some Azure owners who purchased a product through Azure is entitled to a refund. It doesn’t matter if you have previously had a claim rejected, been told that you have run out of time, or instructed another party to make a claim.

Whatever your situation, contact us and we’ll advise you accordingly.

What about the timeshare contract, will I be relinquished?

No decisions have been reached at this stage regarding the timeshare ownership status, but we remain in contact with BPF. At this stage, the timeshare will be unaffected, but that may change in the future and we would advise owners to take independent legal advice on any worries and concerns they might have about this issue moving forward.

It’s finally over and we are out of the timeshare.

When I called in October last year and you answered the phone I was in a very bad place, having just realised I was being scammed again by J Foster Associates. You managed to calm me down and get my money back. I will not forget your calming voice that day and I will always be crateful to you for that. All the staff at Sara Waddington Solicitors have been excellent and the whole process has been smooth.

Mr B Davey

On behalf of my wife and myself, I would like to say a big thank you all at Sarah Waddington Solicitors who have helped us resolve our timeshare problem, you have put our minds at ease. I will not hesitate to recommend you should anybody who has a similar problem ask me in the future. Thanks again. Best Regards Mr B J Davey, Mrs J A Davey

P.A. Hobson

Thank you for your letter confirming the relinquishment of my timeshare. I was very pleased to receive it. I would like to thank you and your team for all your hard work, you made it very easy for me. All I had to do was be patient. So thank you very much and should anyone ask I will definitely recommend you.

Gary Semley

On a personal note today, after hearing the European Claim Centre (on the phone) call your company a 'scammer', today's conference came as further reassurance that we were absolutely with the right company. You may not realise it but your direct, and matter-of-fact 'bedside manner' left us in no doubt that we were under the care of very professional people (not that we should have needed any more reassurance).

Chris Roberton

Sarah gave excellent service and kept us informed in releasing us from Diamond Resorts points timeshare. Quite a relief to not have to pay those ever increasing maintenance fees. Thank you Sarah.

Mr and Mrs Andrews

When we got that final letter indicating that our membership with Diamond Resorts was now at an end it was such a relief. Financially it would have crippled us if we'd had to carry on paying the maintenance fees that were rising every year. When we took out our membership it was fine but everything went downhill after Diamond Resorts took over the business. It became a very expensive luxury which we could not afford and age and health became a problem. Diamond were very unhelpful when we tried to relinquish our membership and that was the reason why we turned to you for help. We would like to thank you for your help in this matter and we are more than happy with the representation and advice which you gave us.

Sarah Waddington Solicitors has recently contested, and successfully won a flight compensation claim for me. I found them to be very friendly, helpful and extremely professional. The contact was minimal throughout with no hassle, and I was kept up to date with proceedings as things progressed. I received the full amount of compensation (although when I initially challenged the Airline myself they told me I wasn't entitled to anything!!) for which I am delighted. I would have no hesitation contacting Sarah Waddington again or recommending her to family, friends and colleagues.

Arman Mazlum

A first class service from an approachable yet highly professional practice. Dealt with my flight delay claim extremely swiftly and with minimal hassle. Much recommended.

Carol Walker

When the maintenance fees for our time share soared in price we decided to try and " get out of our contract" after much discussions we were told that it would be very difficult if not impossible eventually we were put in touch with Sarah and she said she could help. After many months of contact with the timeshare company Sarah was successful and our contract was cancelled. Sarah kept us informed every step of the way. So if you are looking to cancel your timeshare give Sarah a call I am sure she will give you excellent advice.

Colette Walton

When we were first told that Sarah Waddington Solicitors could terminate our contract with a points style timeshare company, we were concerned that it wasn't a legitimate claim, as we had been told by the timeshare company that it wasn't possible. However, Sarah Waddington's have managed to terminate our contract for us, for which we are very grateful. We were kept informed throughout the case, very politely and professionally. We would certainly recommend Sarah Waddington Solicitors to anyone who is having the same problems.

David Williams

I am very happy with the service and support Sarah has provide to me, in dealing with a complex case over the last 12 months. I would have no problems recommending Sarah to any of my friends. I have contacted other law firms in Leeds and found them pompous and arrogant, Sarah is not and works well those who have less or no legal knowledge. I would advise any new clients, Sarah is user friendly.

Paul Goodhall

Just received my cheque for over £600 for my Flight Delay claim which was handled by Sarah Waddington Solicitors. I had a flight delay with my family a few years ago and after coming across their website submitted my claim which was simple and stress free. They were able to get my compensation within a few months on a No Win No Fee basis, was well worth the wait and the fee and would highly recommend them to my friends and family which I have already done. The money will now go towards a much needed holiday for my family again and as much as the delay caused us to miss 3 hours of our holiday, to receive this money it goes a long way towards compensating us for the loss of the time and inconvenience. I now happily await the next 3 hour delay!!

Dr Pilkington
