I bought a timeshare in Malta which had a 25 year ‘contract’ which was fine. But in Jan 2012, I was offered free holiday in Tenerife, only condition being that I would attend a presentation I was not allowed to take my friend in with me and the culmination was that I ended up paying £3400 to exchange to a point system. I later discovered that this contract was in perpetuity, and I have never used it during the last 9 years due to severe mental health issues . My son has used it once . We are paying out money for something we don’t use. What can I do?

My timeshare resort was damaged by Hurricane Sally in 2020 and as repairs are being made they remain closed during my fixed week. I own 3 weeks and have paid over $3000. In maintenance fees for 2021. Now I’ve been told they have already rescheduled as many as they can and have no availability left for future reservations. And I will just lose my weeks. Although they are not refunding my maintenance fees. Shouldn’t the resort have to compensate the timeshare owners for their loss? The damage previously mentioned is being covered by insurance.

Thank you.

I have owned a deeded timeshare at celebration world resort (which is now festiva) for about 20 years. For the first say 15 years I was told I had week 52, which meant I counted to the 52nd Friday of the year and that is when my week started. Now , starting last year when I called to exchange my week into rci, festiva tells me that I have points assigned to me and they tell me what weeks are available to me to exchange with rci. My deed states that my week is in “The plan” . I am trying to find out what the plan is within my deeded timeshare originally thru celebration world resort. I believe festiva is trying to get everyone into their points system even though we have a deeded week.

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.
