Timeshare Claims for Residents of London
posted 18th April 2024
Among the numerous clients we've assisted in claiming timeshare compensation, a significant portion hails from London. While our services extend across the UK, it's worth noting that entities like the now-defunct Club La Costa specifically targeted London residents. Consequently, London stands out as one of the regions with the highest concentration of missold timeshare clients in the country.
Club La Costa, in their pursuit of timeshare sales, lured potential victims with promises of free holidays. These individuals were invited to presentations in London and its environs under the guise of receiving a complimentary vacation. Tragically, what followed was a series of manipulative tactics that coerced thousands of consumers into purchasing a 'trial membership,' a decision that would later prove to be a costly mistake.
This trail package of weeks was nothing more than 'promotional weeks' that obligated victims to attend further presentations once they arrived at their resorts in countries such as Mainland Spain and Tenerife.
Victims were then subjected to gruelling, high-pressure sales presentations that could last up to ten hours. Salespeople would not take no for an answer, and many victims felt they could not leave until they agreed to upgrade their trial membership to a full fractional ownership.
If the way in which victims were treated at sales presentations in Spain had happened in the UK, Trading Standards, the regulatory body responsible for consumer protection, would have closed down the operation in months, as daily breaches of the 2008 mis-selling regulations were commonplace.
Unfortunately, Trading Standards in the UK decided to take the approach of 'out of sight, out of mind', which has been a similar systematic decision made by the Financial Ombudsman, the independent service for settling disputes between financial businesses and their customers, over the last ten years.
Due to our team's determined approach over the last ten years, we have secured compensation for Club La Costa Fractional Owners. Years of hard work have resulted in the banks that funded the purchase of CLC Fractional memberships now having to compensate victims for misselling.
Get in touch if you were caught up in the Club La Costa Fractional Ownership scam. We can claim all your money back and have your outstanding finances written off without charging you a penny in upfront fees.
