Sand And Sea Resorts – Rip Off Consumers

SAND AND SEA RESORTS UNLAWFULLY RIPPING OFF UK CONSUMERS

We have recently been approached by a client who encountered Sand and Sea Resorts whilst he was holidaying in Tenerife. It would appear that he was accosted whilst in the resort by one of their representatives which we would hasten to add is a prohibited activity and a flagrant breach of the EU Directive 2008/122/EC.

However breaching EU Law does not bother Sand and Sea Resorts as they continue to sell their useless products regardless. They take money at point of sale which is unlawful, their contracts are void of terms let alone a statutory cooling which is mandatory. The product that they sell in excess of £ 3,000.00 is Vague, people who they mis-sell their product to have no idea what they have purchased and nor do we, so let’s look at the contract.

A redacted contract can be seen here >>>>>> Sand-Sea-Resorts.pdf  (all names have been removed to protect the identity of the person(s) as pursuant to UK Data Protection laws). The contract however is current and has not been materially altered in any way whatsoever.

The contract does not have any express terms, in fact it does not even tell the buyer what it is they have purchased. The cover page of the contract contains the Sand and Sea logo along with some admin details. The second page of the contract consists of the Sellers details Fomento Proectos Canarios SL and a Spanish address. The buyer is left to figure out who Fomento Proectos Canarios SL are, as there is no reference to Sand and Sea Resorts, Buyers details are also stated. It then lists a payment schedule in Euros, no mention or description of the product or service purchased. No cooling off period mentioned and contrary to the verbal explanation they (Sand and Sea) gave to us over the telephone that it isn’t a timeshare, holiday, accommodation or travel product, it clearly is and is covered by the EU Directive 2008/122/EC.

We telephoned Sand and Sea Resorts to ask them what the product was, if it wasn’t any of the above, and there it began, a verbal attack upon us telling us that we do not know what we are talking about. Therefore, we are none the wiser for the telephone experience other than our misgivings are confirmed Sand and Sea Resorts are ripping off UK consumers plain and simple. They do not have a product and unbelievably they are sitting people down selling them fresh air and relieving them of over £ 3,000.00.

DON’T LOSE INTEREST JUST YET, WE MAY JUST HAVE UNEARTHED THE SAND AND SEA RIP OFF…… PLEASE READ ON >>>>>>>

On page 3 of the contract it can be seen, a UK based company called UK Mini Breaks of Holiday House, Chesterton Way, Eastwood Trading Estate, Rotherham. S65 1ST. How this company fit into the equation we are not sure because we contacted this company and spoke with their Managing Director Mr Adrian Marriott. Mr Marriott was a typical timeshare tout who had plenty to say, well shout about, he was very rude and spoke over us constantly but strangely admitted to knowing nothing about a contract that had been entered into by his company on his letterhead. In fact his exact words were {sic} ‘this is nothing to do with me, I cannot explain why my company’s details appear in that agreement’. We also have a recording of this telephone conversation which was quite unbelievable.

Now this is very strange, we have in front of us a contract with Mr Marriott’s company details upon it and is part and parcel of this Sand and Sea contract but Mr Marriott the UK Mini Breaks Limited Managing Director knows nothing about it. It gets even better as at page 4 we can see a letter bearing the UK Mini Breaks Limited name and address but signed off by the Spanish company Fomento Proectos Canarios SL and sealed by the squiggle of the administrator Sue Taylor.

Sue Taylor by the way, makes it her job to periodically contact our client to, amongst other things, harass him for money and inform him that we are a scam company and we have legal action(s) against us. Well that is all easily rebutted by a quick company search of Praetorian Legal Limited that will reveal no court actions or judgements against us. The fact that we do not take any money upfront and only charge people for work completed dispels any allegation of us scamming people. Must try harder Ms Taylor, if that is your real name, as you and your resort’s unlawful non-compliant mis-selling is EXPOSED.

What on earth is it all about? Not even the Managing Director of UK Mini Breaks Limited, who’s company is a party to the contract, can explain it! So what chance does a person buying it have? They, Sand and Sea, have the nerve to call us a scam!
