Don’t Get Caught in the Timeshare Jungle…

Your 2^nd timeshare tucker challenge is this.  If you’re seeking to get out of your timeshare conduct thorough research and proceed cautiously, avoid acting hastily. Never compromise your most valuable assets, namely your finances.

Here are some survival hints;

1. If you are searching on the internet avoid the paid advertising ads appearing prominently at the very top of Google. (See picture below) These are ads that anyone can pay for to be at the top of Google. The timeshare predators all compete with each other by placing these paid-for ads. This is where you are likely to expose yourself at the most risk.- – It would be wise to Ignore these ads!

2. Find businesses that appear in the ‘organic listings’ below the paid ads. These companies have got to the top of the organic listings by marketing themselves and Google is endorsing and rewarding their efforts and dedication to their potential customers (you) (See picture below)

3. THIS IS THE GOLDEN RULE. Never agree to pay anyone upfront money however convincing people may appear NEVER PAY MONEY UPFRONT FOR TIMESHARE TERMINATION SERVICES.

Keep in mind: Only a fool disregards the ‘no upfront payment’ rule!

Your 3^rd timeshare tucker challenge is this. If you are looking to terminate your timeshare do not be sold by the timeshare predators on the promise of them getting you compensation after paying them upfront fees for your termination.

Here are some survival hints;

1. The assurance of a successful compensation claim is simply NOT TRUE and is merely a hook to get you through the door and take your money from you, often upfront.
2. Never agree to pay money upfront for a timeshare termination on a promise of the timeshare predators guaranteeing you high levels of compensation recovery from your timeshare resort for mis-selling. If you have owned your timeshare for more than 6 years your chances of making a successful claim are ‘nil’ in most cases.

A promise of guaranteed compensation and an upfront payment for termination. Stop! Don’t fall for it!

Your 4^th timeshare tucker challenge is this. The timeshare predators are plying their trade selling the services of Spanish lawyers making claims against your timeshare resort. You must exercise extreme caution when offered this service and here’s why.

Here are some survival hints;

1. The Spanish courts have made several judgements in Spain in favour of timeshare owners.  the reality is that timeshare resorts seldom cough up the money because the company against whom the judgment is made is often NOT the sales company from which you bought your timeshare..
2. If these claims in Spain are so successful why do we not hear about all the timeshare owners rejoicing about getting their money back? One would think the internet would be flooded with such stories. The truth is, they might obtain worthless paper judgments, but that rarely translates into actual cash in hand because enforcing them in Spain is incredibly challenging.
3. The Spanish claim pitch is a favourite among timeshare predators as they lure owners into attending presentations in Spain or the Canary Islands under the guise of completing formalities. This is a ply to get you on to their sales decks to take upfront money from you or sell you a useless holiday club product.

Like the rain in Spain, a Spanish timeshare claim should stay on the plane!
