Timeshare Consumer Association - Working For You

Our Mission Statement

To provide help and assistance including specialist advice to consumers to avoid pitfalls and to resolve timeshare problems. This service is provided, free of charge and the telephone is manned Mon – Fri 09:00 – 17:00 by our dedicated team.

We will also provide a central resource of consumer oriented information on timeshare matters for the media and other consumer organisations – including the encouragement of a positive public attitude to responsible, honest, timeshare operators. We will not shy from publicly exposing anti-consumer practices and organisations which operate in a manner detrimental to timeshare buyers and owners.

An important part of our quest will be to lobby UK and European Governments and regulatory bodies for improved protection for consumers in the timeshare environment and collect information on frauds and mis-selling etc., for action by enforcement authorities.

What People Say About TCA...

We contacted the Timeshare Association for advice about getting a refund of fees due to the lockdown and also how to cancel our timeshare ownership. We received a very quick response and an opportunity to discuss the matter by telephone. The gentleman I spoke to gave us very clear advice with suggested actions. He also said we could phone back if not successful. We followed his advice and were able to properly and amicably hand back our timeshare. Many thanks to all concerned! It is a millstone no longer round our necks!

Mrs Underwood.

What can we say? What has taken a harrowing year to resolve within a harrowing year we have finally got a fantastic positive result from Seasons. We would like to say a huge thank you to you personally Daniel for all your help and guidance in this matter as without your intervention we believe this issue would have never been resolved. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it means so much to us.

Mr & Mrs Wilkinson.

Contacted TCA after reading a number of articles, best thing I could have done, very helpful, with a great wealth of knowledge of the timeshare industry. TCA definitely deserves wider press coverage. Can't rate the assistance provided high enough. Thank you, TCA.

Mr Griffiths.
