I have a timeshare at Westgate and after my husband passed away I could no longer afford it. I struggled and paid off the mortgage but have not paid the maintenance for 5years they are now chasing me for €7500. I feel let down by them as they totally lied when they sold us the weeks.

We have been asking to exit for 5 years now and always get the same reply. You really have to be destitute before they will consider release. We only have 2000 points and have been told many times that we should never have been sold such a small number. We asked what would happen if we wanted to sell them and the answer was to convert to a timeshare week and then sell. Lo and behold we don’t have enough points to do so.
We are retired now and not fit enough to use the points. We have not paid the fees for 3 years and worry about the consequences.
We are not looking for money back for them we just want a release for our sanity.

Do UK Timeshare Companies have to amend existing timeshare contracts taken out prior the Consumer Rights 2015 to comply with Current Legislation, or are the Owners covered by a previous Act.

Hi Barrie,

In Consumer Law we must distinguish between the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which is a general law that applies to contracts for the sale of goods and services and, on the other hand, the Timeshare Act (1992 or 2012), which specifically regulates timeshare contracts. The Consumer Rights Act specifically does not make any changes to the Timeshare Act, so the Resorts are not obliged to amend any contract. Each timeshare contract is governed by the law in force at the time of signing.
