The difference between winning and losing a timeshare claim can be life-changing amounts of money. However, every day, timeshare owners across the UK keep making the same mistakes, losing their claims and being scammed. This article gives easy-to-understand advice on how to make a successful timeshare claim and how to reduce the chances of missing out on increasing your bank balance.
Making a successful timeshare claim is a simple process that requires you to do very little. These 5 simple steps will ensure you make the correct choices and do not fall for a scam.
Step 1. First and Foremost, you need to check that you qualify. To do this, you can check with an authorised and regulated Financial Conduct Authority company like us. FCA-regulated claims management companies make their money by winning claims. Getting your claim qualified is free; and you only pay us a fee if we win. The most common qualified timeshare claims clients we hear from are below.
- Club La Costa
- Diamond Resorts
- Silverpoint
- Club Paradiso
- Resort Properties
- USA Resorts
Step 2. Never make a Timeshare claim in Spain. Due to cross-border jurisdiction, Spanish courts and lawyers are legally unable to submit a regulated finance claim. As such, you'll end up losing your upfront fee and delaying or losing out on your compensation. Click here to read our article on Timeshare Claims in Spain.
As recently as the 9th of May 2023 we received a phone call from a Club La Costa Fractional client that had been asked to pay £9000 in upfront fees by an unregulated marketing company. Unregulated companies are legally barred from making finance claims. Our now client, would of lost her £9000, and her chance of reclaiming her money.
Step 3. Get your evidence in order. Making a successful timeshare claim is speeded up by making sure that you have all your necessary evidence arranged. Claims are often slowed down by not providing paperwork, in good time. If you cant find the paperwork, it's important to speak with your claims manager so that they can arrange to have a Subject Access Request produced. Our fully inclusive no upfront fee service includes access to your very own claims manager that will help you with your paperwork.
Step 4. Don't be swayed by greed. The most common sales tactic used by marketing companies operating through the Spanish courts is to use salespeople on Zoom calls that promise you are entitled to double or triple in compensation. Remember, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!."
This is what most successful timeshare claims clients really receive by using our services.
- A full refund
- 8% interest per year
- Maintenance fees
- Outstanding finance written off
Step 5. Don't waste time doing the wrong thing. It isn't uncommon for us to turn away clients due to the client missing their window of opportunity. Being legally able to seek compensation isn't indefinite, and even being a day too late can result in your claim not qualifying.
If you have already fallen for the Spanish claim route, we may still have time to save the situation.
