This week we are proud to say that we reached £127,758 in monies awarded through CLC cases alone. As found in many timeshare contracts with Club La Costa, in three of these cases, the agreements were found not to contain sufficient detail on accommodation requirements. More specifically what type of accommodation can be used by the owner and when.
In addition to this, we obtained 5 favourable judgements in jurisdiction cases last week, all against Club La Costa.
All of these cases against CLC include the contractual names of;
That’s not all, we’ve also had three recent victories against Anfi, adding up to a total of £42,110. The first claimant was totally awarded, including the costs and the interests since the signature of the contract.
The next two judgements were excellent victories as they show the cancellation letters that are sent to clients from Anfi for nonpayment are not always accepted, the judge in both of these instances stated that the letters are clearly not acceptable and gave the reasoning behind this decision.
During the Timeshare sales boom of the 80s & 90s, potential buyers were lured in by the promise of affordable exotic holidays, flexible exchange programmes and the impression that Timeshare would be a valuable "investment".
In an industry with little or no regulation, high pressure sales tactics were rife and contract smallprint was often glossed over and explained away by sharp salespeople.
Many Timeshare buyers were therefore unaware that they were actually making significant, long term financial commitments on behalf of themselves and their families.

For many Timeshare owners, annual maintenance fees were barely considered token amounts in the early "honeymoon period" of ownership.
However, year-on-year increases imposed by the resorts over time now mean that the maintenance fees have risen to become substantial sums.
Owners are also facing the prospect of ongoing yearly fee increases and realising that they (and their families) are often committed to long term contracts for generations to come.
Please try our Future Fees Calculator to estimate your liabilities over the term of your Timeshare contract, based on an annual increase of 7.5%.

“We 'swapped ‘another place in Tenerife for this in order to move to the points system. Since then, getting exchanges to desirable resorts proves almost impossible, irrespective of in-season or off-season.”
“I purchased my timeshare in 1999 and have been a timeshare member ever since. More often than not, I have not be able to go where I wanted and have ended up giving a few weeks to Friends, etc to book somewhere they wanted in order not to lose the weeks. I have then stayed in a hotel!! I am desperately trying to get rid of the timeshare and am now paying Timeshare Shop in Manchester to get rid of it for me.”
