Dear Peter1,
Most timeshare resorts segment the year into color codes representing different timeshare seasons based on demand. The concept is very similar to the way hotels vary their rates according to the time of year.
A red week refers to the time of the year when a timeshare property is considered highly desirable. When considering purchasing a red week for the timeshare property you want, keep in mind that this week is the most expensive. However, paying the price allows you to travel during the peak hours of the resorts and gives you greater benefits because you can negotiate for equal or shorter weeks, make exchanges to any week and season of the year you want opening your travel options to a great amount of additional properties.

Dear Susan 74,
The obligation to attend the trial depends on each court and each specific case.
The trial is the procedural moment to practice the evidence that has been admitted in the Preliminary Hearing, therefore, the attendance of the clients to the trial is subject to whether in the Preliminary Hearing the statement of the plaintiffs was admitted as evidence or not.
In this sense, we often find that the judges want the clients to come without the possibility of exoneration and, nevertheless, other times, the trial does not even take place, since the judges consider the documents provided by the parties at the Preliminary Hearing sufficient to be able to issue a sentence and thus finalize the procedure.
In the event that your attendance is impossible, what is recommended is that you provide a document, signed by you, stating the reasons why you cannot attend, such as medical reasons, work commitments or economic problems.
That said, in the times we are living in due to the Covid 19, more and more courts are encouraging to make the statements of the parties, witnesses and even to hold trials via videoconference. Unfortunately, not all courts are equipped with the appropriate technologies to do so, so, as we have indicated above, the obligation for clients to attend the trial will depend on each specific case.

Dear Susan74:
I would like you to understand that legal matters do take time and it is impossible to know exactly how long each claim will take to resolve.
Regarding the length of time these claims usually take, there are many reasons for delays in the proceedings:
Whether you are following the latest celebrity trial, or dealing with a lawsuit or criminal charge yourself, you may be wondering why legal cases take so long to resolve. And sadly, there is no way to fast-forward to the end to find out the answer.
While there are some time limits on when charges or claims can be brought, and how long a case can take, there are also opposing forces which can delay cases.
Every case is different, but there are some general factors that determine how long a legal case will take:
Firstly, evidence gathering: no matter the case, lawyers want the most evidence, and most accurate, evidence, possible. Finding, sifting through, and preparing that evidence takes time. Lawyers must take depositions and assemble documents. All of this can add weeks or even months onto a case.
Secondly, the Trial and Verdict; if no settlement is reached, then the case goes to trial, the length of which will depend on the complexities of the case. The more issues, evidence, and arguments, the longer the trial will take.
Finally, the Court Calendars; there are only so many workdays in a year, and a Court can only hear so many cases. Whether it is a civil case or a criminal case, the biggest factor in the resolution of legal cases is the particular Court’s calendar. On top of this, we had the Covid-19 situation last year which meant that the Courts were completely shut down for three months. The Courts always close during August for the annual shutdown, too. They are still trying very hard to catch up with hearings and clerical work.
Even before a Courtroom trial can take place, there are pre-trial motions and meetings with the judge that need to fit into the Court’s busy schedule. Often, it can take the Court months or even years to complete the Courtroom proceedings necessary to even begin an actual trial.
While a legal case may seem interminable and the delays costly, the procedures in place are designed to protect both parties and produce the fairest system possible.

Dear Brian440,
Each company has a way of charging its clients there will be companies that charge in advance while other give facilities with installment payments or even with payment at the end of the litigation.
When you need the services of a lawyer, you go to their office for legal advice and that legal advice and knowledge has a cost. This is the same. You hire the services of a company formed by specialized timeshare lawyers to request the nullity of your contract with a resort. You pay for the service that is given to you once they have explained the payment schedule and the forms that the company has in terms of collection, because as I said, not all companies are the same.
What is certain is that everything costs. As an example, are you going to buy bread and do not pay the price?
At timeshare.lawyer we have very good prices to help you with all the problems you have regarding your timeshare, so do not hesitate and contact us to get a quote without any commitment.

Dear Brian,
When you finally realize what you really bought by owning a timeshare, you must realize that the resort’s sales team has already taken the necessary steps to protect themselves, every step of the sales process has been carefully designed to benefit the resort and prepare against any customer claims in the most effective manner. Therefore, it is extremely important that you find a professional and experienced timeshare lawyer to help you get rid of your contract in a legal manner.
Many timeshare lawyers are not legitimate and cannot be trusted. When looking for a company to cancel timeshares, there are a few red flags to look out for:
Phone solicitations: a legitimate company will most likely not call you unless you ask them to.
100% money back guarantees: a lawyer should look at your case first and then, according to the law and the evidence acquired, inform you of possible solutions for your specific situation.
If it is too good to be true, it probably is not. Here you will have to use your common sense.
They charge fees or upfront payments: look for firms that work on a results basis, it is normal for them to ask for a minimum amount to start working with the file.
Doubtful fees: look for a lawyer to cancel your timeshare who is clear about their fees from the beginning, preferably hire a lawyer who charges fixed fees.
There are some so-called timeshare cancellation legal teams that are good at persuading you, making you believe they have the best intentions, but then end up telling you they can’t cancel your timeshare, and they are usually extremely expensive. Canceling your contract is the best solution for getting rid of a timeshare you no longer want, the process requires a lot of time and negotiations with the resort, which means it is not as simple as other types of transactions, especially if your termination period has expired.
Today there are a wide variety of websites for timeshare owners looking to get rid of their timeshare, and what clients rarely know is that most of these websites are shell companies (with a very good front) and fraudulent lawyers, these lawyers only promise to cancel the timeshare contract, even promising to recover double what consumers have paid and all kinds of “advantages and solutions”, without even seeing a document. The truth is that nothing is clear on these pages, other than that it is a scam.
On the other hand, there are hard-working companies like Timeshare.lawyers, whose goal is to help timeshare owners who were scammed by fraudulent sellers through misleading sales and need a lawyer to dispute or cancel a timeshare contract.

Dear Sarah,
There are different solutions if the owner of timeshare does not want to go and ask a lawyer for their legal advice and knowledge, but most of them are not viable because the Resort is not interested in the owner to leave. Furthermore, there are many scam companies that want to deceive clients into believing that they can get rid of their timeshare very easily, however, in the end, they end up scamming the client, making them pay them a large amount of money supposedly to “achieve that end”, but they never get it compensated.
That is, the client loses money and remains in the same situation regarding the timeshare.
My experience has shown me that the most effective solution to getting rid of a timeshare is by canceling the original contract. Canceling a timeshare is an efficient alternative, since the owner will be able to cut all the commitments he/she has with the resort.
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 canceling the contract. Canceling 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. Please do so by completing the contact form in this website and we will respond once we have reviewed your question.

Dear Sarah,
The rendering of the timeshare service, regardless of the name or form given to the corresponding legal act, consists of making available to a person or group of persons the use, enjoyment and other rights agreed upon over a property or part thereof, in a variable unit within a given class, for previously agreed periods, upon payment of a certain amount, without, in the case of real estate, transferring the ownership thereof.
It is the right to use weeks or intervals of a Tourist Development during a specific period. It is the anticipated purchase of a vacation for a certain number of years.
Timeshare ownership is very similar to condominium ownership except that your rights of use are limited to certain weeks or intervals during the year. The basic concept is to divide the lodging unit into 52 intervals of use to be sold individually.
The answer to how a timeshare works can be very complicated, as it really comes down to the type of membership you are considering purchasing and the terms and conditions of the contract.
Essentially, a timeshare is a vacation unit owned by several people. Each unit is divided into weeks, and these are sold separately. Timeshares were initially sold as “fixed weeks”, but in recent years this has been changing and some other timeshare plans and promotions have been introduced.
A timeshare is a very expensive financial commitment, it should never be considered as a financial investment. Timeshare owners have many financial obligations associated with the resort. In addition to the down payment and the total purchase price, there are other expenses that will be continually charged to you, such as maintenance fees and special assessments, which are likely to increase each year. Another factor to keep in mind is that timeshares do not go up in value; in fact, a timeshare loses about 70% of its value at the time of purchase.
In recent years, and due to the increasing number of complaints and scams, timeshares have often been linked to tourism frauds. Unlike traditional rentals or hotel reservations, where the client has the option to choose where to stay and how much to pay, timeshares require a very expensive down payment.
Timeshares are often criticized for being too expensive and for the ever-increasing maintenance fees, and resale of a timeshare is almost impossible. However, what has hurt the industry the most are aggressive sales practices. Timeshare presentations are high-pressure, time-consuming and deceptive. During a timeshare presentation, it is not advisable to rely on the verbal promises told by the timeshare salesperson, as those promises do not really answer the question of how a timeshare works.

Dear Peter1,
A timeshare is a vacation scheme where, for a considerable sum of money (its initial cost is usually very high), the consumer acquires certain rights over the Resort to stay in a room or apartment for a week (or those that have been purchased) to choose within a season (specified in contract or not), for once a year. There is also the option of acquiring some points that can be used in a similar way.
At that time, the client is obliged to pay an annual maintenance fee to be entitled to the days of accommodation. As you can see, the price of staying is uncertain as there are down payments, monthly membership fees, increasing maintenance fees and renewal costs…
In addition, certain timeshare contracts offer the possibility of making exchanges to stay in other destinations and resorts of the chain or with other timeshares, paying an annuity every 5 years to have this benefit.
Also, you have to book 6 months in advance to be able to enjoy your vacation, and there is not always the possibility of booking since it is at the discretion of the resort and its availability.
Clients are forced to vacation in one place and on a fixed date and even if the week is not used in a year, the maintenance fee must be paid. It is difficult to rent the space in case you cannot go on vacation and also you have to bear in mind that it is very difficult to transfer or sell the contract.
Usually, it is very difficult to get rid of a timeshare because normally the contracts are contingent on a future sale of the property and / or in perpetuity.
However, when you want to stay in a hotel, you do so by paying the corresponding amount according to the nights you want to stay as well as the type of room or apartment you want to stay in and the season of the year. But there is never a time limit to be able to book and you can make as many bookings as you want.
You do not have to pay annual maintenance fees and you know exactly the price you have to pay for your stay.
Also, like the timeshare, some hotels offer the possibility of making exchanges within hotels of the same chain.
In hotels, in principle, it is not necessary to book in advance of 6 months normally, and the client will never be forced to go on vacation to the same hotel, the same week every year of his life; and if you don not want to go on vacation, just do not book.

Dear Stacey J,
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 canceling the contract. Canceling 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.

Dear Maddy58,
Unfortunately, canceling a timeshare loan is not the best option to get rid of an unwanted timeshare, as the process is long and most of the time unsuccessful, and even if you try to sell or transfer the debt to someone else It is highly unlikely that you will find someone who is willing to take over your timeshare, if not almost impossible.
Canceling a timeshare is the best way to get out of a timeshare properly. Once your timeshare is successfully canceled, there will be no more financial obligations associated with the resort and, also, no more maintenance fees.
Once your timeshare contract is declared void by the Judge, normally all accessory contracts also become void. In this way, as the loan contract is one of them, it would become null and, therefore, you should not continue paying the installments. However, until then, we recommend you to keep paying the fees.
If you need a lawyer to cancel your timeshare contract as well as all its accessories, do not hesitate and contact us. Please do so by completing the contact form in this website and we will respond once we have reviewed your question.
