“NO WIN NO FEE” OPTION
FREE CONSULTATION WITH NO OBLIGATION!
Do you want to get out of your timeshare contract?
My name is Javier Correa Guimerá, I am a lawyer specialized in Timeshare Law, licensed since 1990 under nº 1071 at the Las Palmas Bar Association. Graduated from the University of Navarra and Master's Degree title from the University College London (UCL). Since 2010 I’ve been working basically on timeshare cases. If you want to cancel your timeshare contract I can help you.
1.- Do you need me?
If your timeshare is based in Spain and the Club to where you belong doest not come to any amicable solution, the answer is yes. We should then need to file a lawsuit against sellers, promoters and the Club asking for the cancellation of your contract. I’ll guide you personally through the whole process and keep you informed of any development in the case. We will sign an Engagement Letter that will contain the terms of our agreements, costs, timescales and everything it’s needed to leave all crystal clear for us both.
As mentioned above I’ve been working on timeshare cases for almost a decade now, I have met dozens of clients with similar problems; they didn’t want to buy anything in the first place, then what they were promised was not what they were receiving, the maintenance fees are growing dramatically, they are too old now to vacation as they used to and being retired their budget is now smaller. They can’t basically afford paying it but the answer they obtain from their resorts is “you signed the contract and you are bound to it, it was in perpetuity so if you don’t pay we’ll prosecute your heirs!!” Incredible but true (and this is why sometimes I think timeshare is a sect...)
2. But is my timeshare contract illegal?
The Spanish Supreme Court has ruled the following to be illegal:
Contracts signed in perpetuity (‘in perpetuity’ means no end date or for a period of more than 50 years.)
Floating weeks (including holiday club schemes and points for instance)
Deposits or payments made within the cooling off period (the cooling off may be extended to 3 months)
Contracts that directly don’t apply the Spanish legislation have been also deemed null and void.
3.- Can I received compensation?
Yes, the Supreme Court has also ruled that clients have the right to cancel their contracts and will be only reimbursed in the proportional part of the "not used" years and with a maximum of 50 years. For instance, for a contract signed in 2005 and price of 20,000, as the contract was “used” for 12 years, there are 38 years unused, the equation would be: (£20,000.00 / 50) * 38 = 15,200.00.
To this we may add all the monies paid in advance, this is to say, any money paid within the three months after having signed the contract. In the latter example, if the client paid 10,000, he/she will finally be entitled to 25,200 all together.
4.- And how much will it cost to me?
A "NO WIN NO FEE" plan is possible after the case has been studied. If you are not eligible, we can always study other formulas to suit your needs. In these times in which we live, we must be flexible and seek new solutions to new problems.
