TATOC 2015 – Dealing with Claims Companies

RDO advice to resort owners when dealing with Claims Companies:

“The letters from claims companies are often pitifully generic, not carrying a member name, company registration number, or a Consent Form from their client – your owner or club member. Be pedantic in your response, be proactive and test them, and you may find they are not so forthcoming in their response to you.”

Observation: This is the height of intelligence! how can one be both pedantic and proactive at the same time? Unbelievable!!!!

“Don’t panic. Be robust, be firm and be polite. … Read more

Fairways – Pueblo Evita – Tenerife Club Resort

This company are another who refuse to correspond with us or answer any of our questions but find it appropriate behaviour to harass their own timeshare owners, our clients.

However, Fairways are toothless and we have asked them to prove their contract in Court but like all the other timid timeshare resorts they have failed to take action other than to harass our clients.

Like many other timeshare resorts they have no hope of collecting any further monies from our clients so they merely render a useless maintenance fee invoice threatening collection … Read more

Twenty one days to the day we wrote to the Chief Executive of the Resort Development Organisation – Mr Paul Gardner Bougaard requesting details of the much talked about investigation the RDO are publicising to its members and to the public at large through its friendly organisations TATOC & Kwik Chex/ Timeshare Taskforce.

We surmised that Mr Bougaard’s powerless organisation would stay tight lipped just like his resort members who can sit do nothing as we redress the balance of power between timeshare owners and their Contemptible lying cheating greedy resort owners.

We have instructed our solicitors to a take … Read more

We bring to you the timeshare resort of Club La Costa whose promotional literature includes an endorsement by the Royal correspondent Jennie Bond (see here). We are now receiving complaints of mass mis-selling by this resort, we will summarise the sales presentation below.

The Law on Pre Contractual Information

All of our current cases report that they have been cold called by CLC or one of their tele marketing partners. They are offered a ‘FREE’ one week stay at a CLC resort upon the proviso that the people benefiting from the ‘FREE’ one week holiday attend a ‘TWO HOUR’Read more

A timeshare resort in Canada that went into liquidation is offering to make a deal with owners who deserted their timeshares if they agree to pay-up within 30 days.

Carriage Hills and Carriage Ridge appointed administrators by order of the court to help address financial concerns after they faced financial deficit from 2015-2018 and during this time one quarter of the 13,000 owners had defaulted on their timeshare payments. The timeshare units are part of Wyndham Destinations, but the aging properties were not maintained, and owners became tired of paying fees and not seeing any improvements made to the resorts. … Read more

RESORT DEVELOPMENT ORGANISATION (RDO) INVESTIGATES

Today (30 January 2015) Praetorian sent correspondence to the timeshare resort Fairways who many of our blog readers and timeshare owners will be familiar. We had an interesting email in response to our correspondence, interesting because having sent many letters to Fairways over the past 18 months and having received no response whatsoever. So today’s response was somewhat of a surprise, firstly that we even got a response and secondly by the content of their reply.

The surprise reply came with few words and simply said ‘As we are aware that Praetorian Legal is being Read more

BEWARE THE AXIS OF EVIL ARE AT WORK! – RDO, TATOC, Timeshare Taskforce, Kwik Chex

In George Bush’s address to the State of the Union on the 29 January 2002 he used the phrase ‘Axis of Evil’ to describe the countries who subscribed to the use and stock heaping of ‘weapons of mass destruction. The Axis of Evil was used to pinpoint the common enemies of the United States and rally support in the fight against terrorism.

We use this very same phrase “Axis of Evil”, to pinpoint the common enemies and conspirators within the timeshare industry today, these being:… Read more

Does anyone know of America Maya? A quick search of the UK solicitors role reveals no such person with the most delightful and unique name of America Maya. She is described as KwikChex’s legal officer and in house lawyer giving one the impression that she is a qualified lawyer employed by KwikChex.

However, it is rather puzzling how she does not appear on the Law Society’s role of solicitors. In view of Kwik Chex’s impeccable attention to detail and their quest of the truth and transparency in everything they do but there is no available information about Ms … Read more

TATOC AROMA – SOMETHING IS BEGINNING TO STINK AROUND HERE!

This is not the usual Praetorian Legal blog posting but more a recognition of the chaotic timeshare blaggers who have stolen the limelight for far too long, keeping you good people in timeshare misery.
