Timeshare companies in Spain and elsewhere have been ignoring laws enacted to protect consumers from unscrupulous high pressure sales in holiday hotspots.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n \u2014 fernando Sansegundo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n LONDON, OXFORDSHIRE, UK, September 12, 2022 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Since 1999, timeshare companies in Spain and elsewhere have been ignoring laws enacted to protect consumers from unscrupulous high pressure sales operations in holiday hotspots.\u00a0 Initially the unnavigable Spanish legal system served as a protective safeguard for the resorts, as foreign timeshare owners<\/a> had neither the stamina, nor Spanish legal knowledge to challenge the illegal practices.<\/p>\n Claims firms like ECC, together with Spanish firms of timeshare lawyers like ourselves at\u00a0M1 Legal\u00a0changed all of that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ECC filters and checks the feasibility of the\u00a0claims, qualifying them for M1 legal.\u00a0\u00a0 “Every year we grow and achieve more victories than the year before,” says Fernando Sansegundo, head of M1 Legal.\u00a0 “By August we have already reached 250 court victories on behalf of our clients, which is several percentage points up from the record set last year.<\/p>\n “We are seven months into 2022, and so far\u00a0M1 has won \u00a34.1 million in compensation<\/a> awards for timeshare victims.\u00a0 We are on schedule to reach \u00a36.2 million\u00a0by year’s end, and a total of 362 victories.\u00a0 This would be yet another record year for M1 Legal.”Top 4\u00a0Resorts by award totals “We represent people who were illegally sold to by many different timeshare companies,” says Sansegundo.\u00a0 “We have achieved consumer victories against all of those resorts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n “The most heavily penalised resort\u00a0so far this year has been Club La Costa.\u00a0 M1 has had\u00a0116 successes\u00a0against them so far this year\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a32.1 million in compensation awarded.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n “Next comes\u00a0Anfi with 61 awards, totalling\u00a0\u00a3893,000 in compensation.\u00a0\u00a0 Diamond Resorts Europe come in at number 3.\u00a0 DRE have 22\u00a0awards against them\u00a0and \u00a3272,000 in compensation for former clients.\u00a0 “The remaining \u00a3578,000 of awards was spread between a host of other, smaller resorts.”<\/p>\n Top 3 individual awards this year<\/p>\n Whilst the average compensation award is around \u040820,000, some awards are far higher than this.\u00a0 The top 3 amounts so far in 2022 are: “When I inform them that they have been awarded tens of thousands of pounds as well, sometimes\u00a0they can barely speak for joy.”<\/p>\n Am I entitled to compensation?<\/p>\n Every case is different, and because the timeshare industry spent over two full decades issuing illegal contracts, there are too many people for M1 to speak to directly.\u00a0 In order to make sure we only deal with people who have a solid claim, M1 works together with the leading international claims firm, European Consumer Claims (ECC). European Consumer Claims ECC provides timeshare claims services, expert advice and help T: EUROPE: +44800 6101 512 \/ +44 203 6704 616.\u00a0 USA: 1-877 796 2010 Mark Jobling

\u2022\t\u040852,536 again awarded against CLC, to a couple from Witham in Essex
“One of the greatest pleasures in my job is making the call to a client to give them the news that they won their compensation case,” says Fernando.\u00a0 “I hear\u00a0tears of happiness and great emotion down the phone line.\u00a0 The larger amounts can literally change people’s lives.\u00a0 Many of our clients tell us that they would have been happy just to escape the financial burden of the timeshare membership.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
