Faith Restored

5

Having engaged in purchasing timeshare back in the early 2000s, without a full understanding of what was involved and what we were getting into, the experience left a bitter taste in our mouths, the slick sales method, impressive offices and hollow promises led us into a downward spiral of worry and embarrassment. After many attempts of trying to withdraw from the contract, we only found ourselves getting pulled in deeper, all adding to the continual worry and strain put on our health and financial ability.
Eventually, I need to give Diane my wife credit for doing the right thing, by searching out two companies of solicitors who were registered to deal with timeshare mis-selling, this was no small feat, considering the number of companies claiming to advise and recover monies on your behalf.
It was an easy choice to select Sarah Waddington Solicitors, they delivered exactly what it said on the tin, for a small fee, only paid when an official contract was agreed upon, explaining what and what was not possible we signed up, from that day forth it has been nothing but a positive journey of refund and recovery both on a financial and health basis. It is not a sprint but stick with it and you may reap the rewards deserved.
I have nothing but praise for the company and the solicitors I have dealt with over the last few years, thank you!

Refund of payments made

5

We have finally received some compensation of funds paid to CLC world, something we never thought would happen and had written our losses off. Today we received nearly £20,000 and there is still more to come. It is a very time consuming process but well worth the wait. Thank you to Sarah Waddington and her team.

Timeshare CLC compensation claim

Although this was a very longwinded process due to delays and prevarication by the ombudsman and Barclays Finance the solicitors kept us well informed and kept the pressure on to achieve a result. We eventually accepted a settlement nearly 5 years after our original claim.

Very professional firm. Having been approached by so many timeshare scams, found Sarah Waddington Ltd on the WWW but really didn't know whether to use them but after several years of being pestered by companies from The Canaries thought I'd try Sarah Waddington.

Excellent service

5

Sarah Waddington solicitors were instrumental in helping us to get out of our timeshare. We also got back most of the money we paid out to the timeshare company and on loans too. We could not have done this on our own. They were professional, knowledgeable and effective in challenging the timeshare company and banks. We highly recommend Sarah Waddington solicitors.

Don't loose faith

Fractional ownership was an exciting venture when the champagne bottle popped and, you felt that you had made a great decision, securing fantastic holidays for life. The buzz quickly fades when the securing of promised destinations become so difficult and the maintenance fees continued to increase and when you did get a holiday Club La Costa staff were always bothering you to increase your membership subscriptions.

Time to get out - so many Sharks out there and after being conned once you become suspicious of all.

Sarah Waddington provided something different, and there was a trust from the beginning, mind you I would be lying to say that there were some doubts along the way, however through thick and thin we got there eventually and I cannot thank the team at Sarah Waddingtons enough.

After approx 6-7 years we (myself and my wife) are now free of the nightmare of Club La Costa and the loans that we took out with Hitachi.

Thanks to Sarah Waddingtons all cash has been refunded, plus interest and all ties severed with Club La Costa.

Cannot thank the team at Sara Waddingtons enough.

Recovery of Timeshare money

5

I took up an offer back in October 2016 from Sarah Waddington Solicitors to recover my Timeshare costs, after being dissatisfied with CLC ,with their service and belief it had been mis sold to me.
I found the company kept me informed of progress through the several years it has taken to recover the money, but we knew it was going to be a long slog.
Sarah Waddington took the view that it would be better to try and recover the money from the Finance company who funded my Timeshare rather than the Timeshare company itself, which turned out the best way forward.
Although proceedings took time, I was always confident that Sarah Waddington's would be successful and I now have my claim settled.
I'm very grateful to Sarah Waddington's for their professional approach to my case. I would recommend to anyone who is trying to relinquish their Timeshare to approach Sarah Waddington.

Unfortunately due to confidentiality obligations we are unable to respond to the concerns raised in your comments but we will contact you directly to discuss them. While the majority of timeshare issues are resolved quickly others may take longer depending upon the complexity, the contract and the personal circumstances of the owner. We make this very clear within all of our contracts at the beginning and aim to provide clients with a solution as quickly as possible.

Absolutely delighted that we have now relinquished our timeshare contract with Occidental.
Having had the contract for many years we approached Sarah Waddington Solicitors to help us get rid of this burden of maintainance demands every year without fail.
It took around nine months to achieve this,but they did it.
They kept us informed on every step they took and guided us throughout the whole process.
We found them to be totally professional and courteous and we are very happy we contacted them to resolve our issue,we are very grateful.
Give them a call,speak to them ,we did.

I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah Waddington to anyone who is having a problem with a timeshare company. A first class service from a company who, when I had trouble with a Mexican timeshare company with whom I had had a timeshare for over 30 years, acted on my behalf when the company would not accept my termination of the contract (for health reasons I could no longer travel).
The timeshare company insisted that they would only accept a termination if I paid five years maintenance fees which amounted to around four thousand dollars.
Thanks to the persistence (Tara) of Sarah Waddington, solicitors, I got my termination without paying the timeshare company any further money. Again thank you all very much for your work.

Sarah Waddington was recommended to me by a relative of my neighbour who had been helped to exit from a Florida timeshare. My own contract was a Scots law “ in perpetuity “ one and I’d almost given up hope of ever being able to escape !
Robert Adam was my first point of contact and was particularly helpful. I was kept informed throughout and any telephone calls I made were responded to very quickly.
The process took only a few weeks and
I have now successfully relinquished the timeshare without having to pay any additional exit fee.
It’s such a relief and I couldn’t be happier! (perhaps I’ll frame the transfer of ownership document!)
