The first thing I would recommend is to see if your arrangement is written in your timeshare contract, that way you have grounds to complain and you can point out clauses as reference. If you don’t, and the resort are being un-cooperative, then you may want to consider seeking professional legal advice.

Dear Dean,
Thank you for asking your question through Timeshare Lawyer.
Timeshare resorts rely on maintenance fees being paid to survive and your resort would have heavily chased you for outstanding payments when you stopped paying them if you were still confirmed as an owner. If you have not received a maintenance bill in the last 10 years, then I can only assume your ownership was cancelled and therefore would not be required to pay outstanding maintenance.

Dear David,
Thank you for your question.
Covid-19 resulted in long-term closures for resorts creating a huge backlog of owners unable to book their timeshare. Unfortunately, the resorts are being very unaccommodating and are still demanding maintenance fee payments even if there is no availability. As far as I’m aware, no timeshare contract protects owners against this type of event.
You have a few options, first of all, you could contact your timeshare company and ask what alternatives could be offered and if nothing is deemed to be acceptable, then maybe time to consider releasing yourself from your timeshare? (this will of course depend on what you have purchased). If you would like to know what possibilities are available to you, please contact us (UK) 0800 520 2322 (International) +44 800 520 2322 or message us on our online chat here: https://timeshare.lawyer/

Dear David,
Thank you for asking your question.
In response to what you have asked, It is highly likely that Festiva are trying to switch members onto a points system because due to the pandemic and resort closures for long periods of time, there is simply not enough availability to accommodate members. “The Plan” within your deeded timeshare is something that will need communicated directly from the resort to yourself so we would recommend writing to them in order to receive a response back in writing as it is not normal practice to change what an owner has at their disposal without a new contract.

Dear John,
Quite simply, whether or not some sort of buy-back option was loosely promised to you in the past, it is not in the interest of the Timeshare Group/Resort to take your Timeshare back from you. If they did this, they would effectively be “letting you off” the Maintenance Fees that you would otherwise be liable to pay over the rest of your contract term, which may well be worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds to them.
It is also important to remember that Timeshare is an abstract concept, and is now even more so than it was in the past, as many people have been moved over to points schemes, fractional ownership, floating weeks and similar variants. This means that, to create a new Timeshare contract to sell to a new member is purely a matter of raising some paperwork, as the Timeshare Group/Resort do not need to have a timeshare that they have taken back from you or another member “in stock”. They can just sell a package of points to the new member and add to the over-subscription.
So if you are one of those unfortunate people wondering, how can I get rid my timeshare? We want to convey that the most effective way to get rid of your timeshare is by cancelling the contract. Cancelling a timeshare has many advantages, but the best thing is that once you cancel your contract, you will have no more financial responsibilities associated with the resort.
At Timeshare.lawyer we have the necessary and legal knowledge to cancel a timeshare contract, so if you want more information, do not hesitate to contact us.

Dear Stacey,
The literal translation is “for ever” and some Timeshare contracts were sold “in perpetuity” in the days when Timeshare sales groups were pushing the idea that, along the lines of property, Timeshare was a long term purchase, which should be protected for you and your family so no-one could take it away. How times have changed!
This means that, if your Timeshare contract was sold “in perpetuity”, the intention is that it would stay in your ownership for the whole of your life, then pass on to your children, then your children’s children and so on.
It is likely that this was put forward as a benefit when the salesman was presenting the timeshare opportunity to you – but you will no doubt be fully aware of the downside now that you and your family face the prospect of relentlessly escalating fees liabilities, for ever.
There are some intricate legal and technical considerations around perpetuity which we would be impossible to fully explain in a few lines on the website so, if you have concerns or questions, please contact us.
