Anyone in dispute with another should obtain legal advice, this is also advisable in disputes involving timeshare contracts and contractual obligations.
Those entering into that contract have pre-contractual obligations and those obligations are applicable to each party, as well the individuals who represent each party. The effect of what was said, what was promised and by whom is sometimes critical to the mind-set of each party and what their expectations were before entering into the contract.
Most timeshare consumers wholeheartedly believe they have been duped into the contract – misled by subject matters, sales fluff and/or harassment. Others believe if they were given time to consider all the facts and liabilities/benefits they would not have signed the contract.
Each consumer has his or her own reason as to why they no longer wished to continue their ownership, in this event be sure to seek good sound honest timeshare advice. Every case should be unique as the purchase was not an off the shelf purchase but was bespoke to your requirement’s, and your circumstances are equally unique. So be sure to have your situation addressed on its individual merit, far too many times we find consumers who have been incorrectly advised. Commence a legal dispute only to find at trial they have been wrongly advised
The Timeshare Consumer Association, will try and best advise you in the direction you need to take with regards to you own circumstance. We are not promoting any particular solicitor or companies. Timeshare Consumer Association offers impartial advice and helps you with information in regards to the direction your individual case requires.
Some of the time the timeshare legal advice given by Solicitor/Legal Companies will involve areas which you don’t understand, parts you may not feel are relevant to your issue or that the advice is irrelevant to your position in the dispute, question what you don’t understand and if you are still not satisfied then seek out other advice to ensure what is being told to you, is clear and you understand (not like when you signed the agreement at the start of your ownership).
Sometimes the best timeshare advice is that which explains the dispute from both sides of the fence. This might initially may confuse you but it will ground you to the disagreements you will face while in dispute.
To know the opposite arguments before you embark on any action will afford time to ensure that the evidence you need (to sustain your position) will be focused.
All timeshare legal advice should contain the following:
- Advice as to your claims
- Advice as to what counterclaims you will face
- The likely costs involved to take your matter to trial etc.
- The likely costs that you might face in the event you are unsuccessful
- The likelihood of you winning
- The risk
- Other options venues and courts
- Part 36 pre-action offer, mediation arbitration etc.
Good timeshare advice is benign, unemotional, conservative, structured, relevant and proportional.
The job and main focus is to inform you, so don’t be alarmed when you receive it and read it.
