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.

Hello.

We been visiting Thailand this month, and we had the wrong information provided on the presentation, we signed a contract for timeless vacation ownership. We received a call from them only after 10 days with login details to the properties and etc., which looked absolutely different when on presentation, after this call I understood that its not the same as on presentation, so immediately I send an email that I want to cancel this membership, it was 10 days post contract was signed. The contract says I can cancel only after 7 days, but How do I cancel after 7 days if I only received and information after 10 days, I think they did it on purpose. The deposit we paid was 4000 USD,. We just wondering if it’s possible to get our money back. As they ignore our emails for over a week now.
Can you please advise us. Thank you

We have had a timeshare for 42 years, And the freeholder has written to us saying that he has sold the complex and we will receive an amount calculated by him based on the amount he has agreed to sell it for to a private consortium less 31% for all of the dealings costs involved.
He has built up a controlling stake of unsold weeks in the complex and proposes to send us out a waiver to sign relinquishing our rights of ownership in exchange for a sum that he thinks is a fair price for our apartments.
Is this legal?

Hello, I have a timeshare that is supposedly being sold. Its in Mexico. My agent says Mexico requires me to send $6000 to them before any real estate transaction can be done. something to do with either taxes or something to do with the Bank needing the OK from the Mexican government to release my funds. The name of my agent is Business Brokers International out of New York. Is there any truth to this or is it a scam. Thank You, Fred
