? Are you paying maintenance fees for an unwanted CLC Timeshare scheme?

? Are your Club La Costa/CLC maintenance fees high & rising each year?
? Have you tried to sell, but found there is no way out?

? Do you just want to get out of your CLC contract for good?
? Would you like to claim your money back?
Club La Costa (CLC) (Now Wyndham Hotels & Resorts) operates one of the world's largest Timeshare schemes and, over the years, we have help increasingly large numbers of CLC members who tell us they are frustrated to be paying very high fees without being able to book the holidays they were promised. (See recent CLC member comments here and our introductory video here).
More recently, it has come to light that CLC developed an elaborate network of companies in an attempt to avoid paying out the flood of successful mis-selling claims brought against them - claiming they did not have funds to pay owners the compensation awarded by the Spanish Courts, despite the fact that they continue to collect tens of millions in maintenance fees each year.
PLEASE NOTE - Club La Costa (UK) plc was placed into LIQUIDATION in November 2022. It is important that you ACT NOW as the opportunity to recover any money that you may be able to claim is limited. Read more...
Timeshare Advice Network provides independent, expert advice and services to members of many types of timeshare, points and holiday ownership schemes - and we have already helped a high number of Club La Costa (CLC) timeshare/points owners who were looking for a way out of their long-term membership contracts.
Following the string of successful claims against Anfi and other Spanish Timeshare operators, the first major ground-breaking legal judgement was won against Club La Costa in October 2015, meaning that Club La Costa had to pay back the original purchase price, maintenance fees & interest to the Customer, as well as paying the Court costs. The contract was also declared null and void, meaning the customer in question is now free of their CLC Timeshare liabilities for good. Read more...
The CLC members who contact us often report high, fast-increasing maintenance fees; great difficulty in booking the holidays they want due to poor availability, especially in the high season; constant pressure to upgrade to more expensive membership levels and overall dissatisfaction that their experiences are now falling well short of what was promised when they first bought into the CLC concept.
To find out your options for getting out of your CLC membership contract commitments and to see if you may qualify to claim money back from CLC following this new legal precedent, please complete the short enquiry form or call one of our specialist advisors now on 01628 290499.

2nd December 2023 - Ms Jane C, Lanarkshire - CLC Points Scheme
"No availability when we want. Rising maintenance fees (this started during the pandemic). Still paying finance although it's now Novena Personal Finance instead of Hitachi Finance. Feeling tricked and coerced."
11th November 2023 - Mr & Mrs Patel, Essex - CLC Fractional Ownership
"We were pressured into joining CLC in Tenerife and we signed the contract and gave them bank details on the day. Once we came back to the UK, I called the company many times and we sent emails, but they didn't call back or reply. Then Covid happened and our circumstances changes, so we told them we needed to cancel, but they have still not responded and we’ve just had another bill for 1145 Euros. If we weren’t able to use any of CLC’s facilities, why should we have to pay lots of money? CLC claim we still owe them 20,300 and maybe more with maintenance. I would be very grateful if you could help me out and have all the paperwork and emails we sent to the CLC team."
5th October 2023 - Mr Michael B - CLC Fractional Ownership
"Need help getting out of this ASAP due to ridiculous lack of availability, increasing maintenance fees, and now points being taken away from us (expiring) even though the only reason we have them saved is that we couldn’t get anything booked in the first place!"
19th September 2023 - Mr Gavin S, Northamptonshire - Club La Costa Points
"Inability to book throughout the school holidays. Increasing maintenance, also having to pay this throughout Covid even though we could not book holiday. Increasing maintenance costs each year."
23rd August 2023 - Mrs Monica P, Buckinghamshire - Club la Costa Points
"Club la Costa promised us a week free holiday in Spain or Tenerife to make us join them and sign up for the membership and then Covid happened and they cancelled our one week holiday to Spain. Now they said that they can’t give us that week anymore. We also find it is impossible to book anything as they said it’s all booked for next year and we are allowed to book just one year ahead. We are so disappointed as we already paid a lot and keep paying maintenance fees but simply can’t book any holidays! What can we do?"
28th July 2023 - Ms Catherine F, Oxfordshire - CLC Fractional Ownership
"Hi, I am struggling to afford the monthly maintenance fee as I’m now a single parent . I also don’t feel happy at the availability in the school holidays. I have a fractional share . I would like to get some money back if I can , it cost me a lot of money at the time… "
25th June 2023 - Mrs C O, Surrey - Club La Costa Fractional Ownership
"Increasing fees and have not being able to book or use the facilities most recent years for a variety of reasons, including the pandemic of course. Paying back my loan monthly plus maintenance fees. These all end in 2031, very many years left."
1st May 2023 - Mrs Pauline H, Lancs - Club La Costa Fractional Ownership
"Ever increasing maintenance fees, lack of availability, poor service, resort closures during the pandemic... you name it! Just want to get out of this as soon as possible and see if we can some money back."
TIMESHARE EXIT
For the vast majority of people who come to us for help, the primary concern is to simply get out of the long-term fee liabilities to which they find themselves & their families committed.
It is often when changes in personal circumstances (e.g. health, mobility, bereavement, financial, relationships etc...) mean that the Timeshare scheme will no longer be of use - at which point it can suddenly clear that the Timeshare has no resale value and, worse still, carries significant, long-term fee commitments.
Please be very wary of what your Timeshare scheme operator may have told you if you have approached them directly as, believe it or not, they will often see this as an opportunity to try and sell you a Fractional ownership scheme on the promise of recouping your investment.

MIS-SELLING CLAIMS
Whilst it has only been in the last couple of years that news of an ever-increasing number of successful claims are being made against a growing number of Resorts & Timeshare scheme operators - mis-selling has been rife since the laws changed in 1999 but were largely flaunted by arrogant Timeshare sales operations, and it is estimated that 1000s of claims were settled out of Court, with confidentiality claims attached to prevent news spreading to the wider Timeshare member community.
However, since the high profile "Grimsbo vs Anfi SL" case in 2015, the floodgates have opened and the Spanish Courts in particular have been extremely busy, with an ever-increasing number of legal precedents being set and the the legal tide turning firmly in favour of the consumer at last.
To find out whether you have grounds for a mis-selling claim and/or whether your Timeshare contract is simply illegal and can be declared Null & Void, please contact one of our expert advisers today.
TIMESHARE ADVICE
The chances are that, having reached the point that you've decided that you wish to exit your Timeshare scheme, you will quickly find out that the promises made when you were originally sold the Timeshare will turn out to be false.
People were commonly sold Timeshares as "an investment" with promises of rising values, buy-back schemes and ease of re-selling whenever you decided to do so...
However, you only need to look on eBay to see hundreds of people desperately trying to sell their Timeshares for 99p... with no takers of course.
The sad fact is that there are very few 'Good' and a great deal of 'Bad & Ugly' Timeshare scheme operators out there - and they will do whatever they can to keep their members locked into unfair contracts, paying increasingly extortionate annual fees.
If you need some initial guidance from the independent experts, we're here to help...
