Further to our thanks to the sources that help contribute to our articles, we are happy to announce some good news for now ex-timeshare owners. There has been a succession of court wins against some of the major operators in Spain over the past couple of months and we are happy to share their success stories.
One of these wins was against Regency Resorts, who have timeshare in Tenerife. The case was heard in the high courts of Tenerife in relation to the timeshare owners contract having being declared Null and Void! This was down to several factors in the contract, but mainly due to the fact that there was not enough information to fulfil a legal contract! This is a very vague reason, but could encompass several items lacking in the contract such as;
- Length of contract
- Lack of information of the actual unit or product of purchase
- Contract stipulates a product that is not what it is in reality
We are sure that the ex-owners will now be planning how to spend their recuperated £13 thousand. They will also be able to recuperate all legal expenses accrued during the hearing.
Then Silverpoint have been hit hard once again! They have found themselves in a losing battle against two clients recently! We have been informed of this further to the article that we published on their recent on goings. It seems they are just going from one bad moment to the next!!
In the last couple of weeks, they have been made to pay back over £140 thousand to 2 clients that contested their contracts with Silverpoint SL in the Arona courts, Tenerife. Again, these contracts failed to include important information and were deemed null and void by the Spanish courts. Silverpoint has been made to pay their clients back their initial investment, plus any legal costs incurred.
It is good to see that the information is spreading with regards to contracts made in perpetuity, or lack of or falsified information in the Timeshare World. It is good to see the clients that have been duped out of their monies, receiving big payments back from their resorts. Albeit after a lengthy wait on court procedures. We encourage any resort members who are unsure whether they are due back monies on null and void contracts to get in touch on the contact details below.
We have many happy clients, for whom we give impartial advice, and assist them along the right path to claim back any monies they may be due! We have had a nice ‘thanks’ on our Facebook this week from one such client. Below is the clipping (click on to see in full).
