Mis Sold Timeshares

Navigating Mis-Sold Timeshare Claims

Understanding the Mis-Selling of Timeshares

Timeshare owners often face significant challenges when trying to dispose of their timeshare liabilities, with many resorts claiming that these contracts are binding indefinitely, even extending to the owner’s heirs. This situation creates a difficult scenario for owners, who may then become vulnerable to scams. Over 600,000 people in the UK own timeshares, and for those not utilizing their timeshares, the annual maintenance fees can become a substantial financial burden.

Recent Legal Developments

A recent judicial ruling has mandated that banks, including Barclays and Clydesdale, repay borrowers who were misled into investing in timeshares sold as investments. This ruling, supported by the Financial Ombudsman Service, highlights that affected consumers are entitled to compensation. Davidson Associates is actively representing victims and encouraging them to come forward.

In May 2023, a significant case ruled that CLC Fractional membership was sold illegally as an investment. This decision led to compensation orders for Club La Costa Fractional Owners Club members. The ruling underscores ongoing issues within the timeshare industry and emphasizes the need for affected consumers to seek redress.
