Spanish Claims

Most clients who signed timeshare contracts (also known as holiday home sharing or vacation ownership) suffered a multitude of abuses.

Some of these abuses include irregularities in the reservations, lack of proper maintenance at the resorts, payment of extra costs termed as deposits, disregard for client’s preferred week, etc. Moreover, many timeshare contracts obliged customers to hire timeshare for life. This sale in perpetuity is contrary to the law 42/1998; therefore, any contract signed after 1998 that does not set a term of duration of between 3 and 50 years, clearly stands in violation of the law.

Whether you were charged an advance amount disguised as a deposit or if your contract did not stipulate the duration of the timeshare (which must be between 3 and 50 years), you can claim your contract for failing to conform to the law and the provisions of the Supreme Court ruling in 2015.

Furthermore, you are eligible for a claim if any of the following situations apply to you: -

1. You were not given enough time to consider whether you were making the right decision or not.
2. You were not informed of rising maintenance fees.
3. You were not informed of additional maintenance costs.
4. You were not informed about the inability to cancel your contract at anytime.
5. You were not informed of exactly how a timeshare works
6. You were not informed of exactly what property you were buying a timeshare in.

Yes. If you signed a timeshare contract, you are in principle eligible to claim and recover your money. In fact, the Supreme Court has already ruled on countless occasions, giving the right to all those affected by abusive clauses in their timeshare or timeshare contracts.
