Is someone trying to convince you to pay upfront fees to make a timeshare claim or get out of your timeshare? If so, it's likely that you have been given the wrong information and are being lied to. Please read our short guide below to ensure you are not going from the frying pan to the fire!
1. Based on our years of experience and track record of recovering money for clients from timeshare scams, we can positively guarantee that it is a scam if you have received a cold call regarding anything to do with timeshare. This includes receiving a call out of the blue and being referred to another company.
2. Not all that glitters in gold! 99% of all timeshare claims companies make their money from trying to convince you to pay upfront fees for claims that don't stand a chance of being successful. You'll be shown reviews, court papers and what looks like compelling evidence that you are doing the right thing. However, NO qualified timeshare claims require the payment of any upfront fees. And despite what you are told, you cannot get blood out of a stone! Please read our article on what qualifies as a No Win No Fee Claim by clicking here or by calling us on 01691 223 112.
3. Been told you owe maintenance fees? The most common timeshare scam that people are falling for is the timeshare debt collector scam. Past and present timeshare owners are cold-called and told that their timeshare wasn't appropriately cancelled, that they are on the timeshare register, and that they are liable for thousands of pounds of back-dated maintenance fees.
This type of timeshare fraud has cost British citizens millions over the past few years. Criminals based abroad will try to scare you into believing that debt collectors will be knocking on your door and that you could lose your house. All of which is untrue and should be avoided at all costs. To check the legal status of your timeshare contract, contact us.
4. Stay safe. Contact us if you are searching for the best and safest way to exit your timeshare. Sometimes, your best action may be cancelling your timeshare directly with your resort. There are many free and inexpensive ways to exit your timeshare. If you have previously exhausted all your options and want to legally exit your timeshare, get in touch. Our 100% No Upfront Fee Timeshare Exit Services have helped thousands of timeshare owners legally cancel their timeshares without paying a penny in upfront fees.
5. Claim compensation without unnecessary risks. Timeshare compensation claims have never been the same or similar to PPI. There is no automatic right of recourse and no guarantee that you will be successful. That being said, if you are owed timeshare compensation or have a qualifying claim, there is absolutely no reason to risk paying upfront fees. Regulated and specialist claims companies, like ours, make their money by winning claims. As such, it's in our interest to be completely honest about your potential chances. If you qualify for timeshare compensation, you only pay us if we win, taking all the risk out of making a claim. Get in touch with us to check if you qualify for a refund.
