f you have recently purchased a timeshare and want to cancel the contract, then you have 14 days (known as the “Withdrawal Period”) in which to do so. If the timeshare is a Long Term Holiday product, as described under the provisions of The Timeshare Regulations 2010 in the UK, then you can terminate the agreement upon written notice to the timeshare resort, without explanation.
EU Countries such as Spain, have now implemented the timeshare Directive 2008/122/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 January 2009 on the protection of consumers in respect of certain aspects of timeshare, long-term holiday product, resale and exchange contracts (the “Directive”). The Directive simplified and extended measures for the protection of you, the consumer. They simplify and address any shortcomings within the current timeshare laws, as the new Directive applies to the sale, marketing and content of timeshare contracts. The Directive extends measures to the sale of long-term holiday products, the resale of timeshares and, timeshare exchange contracts; the marketing and sale of which have been a nightmare for many people
As above, you also have further protection under the Regulations. They are as follows: –
Consumers must be given a statutory minimum “withdrawal period” of ten days from signing the contract.
The taking of monies before the end of the withdrawal period is prohibited.
Contracts must be in the language of the Member State in which the buyer resides.
Consumers must receive details and relevant information relating to the property purchase and their rights under the agreement.
As a UK citizen, you have consumer rights under UK and EU legislation. The main Regulations and UK statutory acts under which you are covered are as follows: –
The Timeshare Regulations 2010;
Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008;
Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013; and,
Consumer Rights Act 2015
To find how those rights may affect you contact one of Mercantile Claims specialist legal advisors who can advise you.
Our team of experienced timeshare advisor will assess you timeshare agreement and provide you with an expert as to how you will be able to terminate your timeshare without any ongoing financial risk to yourself.
We require a detailed summary of the sales procedure and how the sale was made, in particular, what was promised at the point of sale. It would also be prudent to list down anything that was promised but did not materialise. For example, if you were told that you could hand back the timeshare if it was no longer required, or if you were told that you would receive certain benefits that you have never received. Were you sold a timeshare apartment that was different from the one you actually were given upon purchase?
We appreciate that it may have been some time since you actually purchased your timeshare. However, the more detail you can provide stronger our case will be, should the timeshare resort challenge the termination.
We have successfully terminated thousands of timeshare contracts for people who want to get rid of their timeshare. Contact us Now to discuss timeshare release & compensation claims
After the ground-breaking ruling passed by the Spanish Supreme Court in 2015, customers were refunded 40,000 euros and granted timeshare releases – after timeshares were mis-sold.
This ruling along with other major judgements have meant that customers are entitled to timeshare releases and claims against resorts such as Club La Costa under the following terms:
Selling timeshare contracts which ran for 50 years or more
Using high-pressure sales tactics on customers
Taking deposits off customers
Arranging finance on contracts, without observing the proper cooling-off period
In recent months there has been a ground-breaking ruling against Club La Costa in which a customer was given a full refund of the purchase price along with a proportion of maintenance fees, his contract was cancelled and he was granted a timeshare release.
