Timeshare Termination Service Explained

Our role is to represent clients in the legal dispute which arises from the contract they signed. The term “timeshare termination” is often confused with the concept of disposal. In reality ‘termination’ means the unilateral bringing to an end of a contractual relationship. The industry adopts the position that clients are locked into a contract for a lengthy period (sometimes in perpetuity) without any means of bringing this arrangement to an end.

Athena Law are a firm of solicitors and what we do is as follows:

Review contractual documents and purchase history.

Advise clients of the legal grounds for termination –misrepresentation, unfair consumer contract terms and (if applicable) breach of mandatory Spanish Law.
In selected cases we may be willing to act on a ‘no win
no fee’ basis. We also have a relationship with trusted
Spanish Lawyers who have agreed to work on a fixed
fee basis.
Write to the resort and set out all the legal grounds,
referring to relevant statutes, regulations and case law

In summary, therefore, the options for exiting a Timeshare are:

Sell your timeshare to a third party.
Negotiate an exit arrangement with the resort yourself.
Employ a solicitor to terminate on lawful grounds.

We have helped a lot of people get out of their unwanted timeshare contracts

We had been wanting to relinquish our Diamond Resorts points, which we had owned for almost 20 years, and had tried using Diamond’s recommended selling agent with no success at all.

We then took advice from a release company who suggested we would have to pay solicitors cost of £5000.

On the off chance I rang Athena Law and the advice given resulted in a swift and cost free release from our 14,000 points. Many thanks to Stephen Boyd who advised us in a truly professional, candid and effective way.

We can recommend him without hesitation.

Mr & Mrs S.Timeshare with Diamond Resorts

Having been a timeshare owner with Heritage Resorts for a number of years, due to ill health and advancing age we approached them to surrender our membership to no avail.

Believing the timeshare to be null and void anyway, we approached Stephen Boyd of Athena Law to exit us from this contract. We used his Timeshare Fixed Exit Fee option which worked wonderfully. Within the space of a couple of months Heritage had conceded to our request and terminated our contract. We cannot thank Stephen enough for the efficient service he provided.

We only wish that we had contacted him sooner and saved ourselves the worry of ever increasing maintenance fees and the commitment to a resort we could no longer afford or use

Mr P.Timeshare with Heritage Resorts

Our timeshare was 'in-perpetuity' meaning that the liability past to our children.

Having wasted money on trying to sell through agents and even meeting people who said that by paying several thousands they could take it off us, you soon realise that they all just want your money.

Stephen at Athena Law was a refreshing change, he had a clear understanding of what was possible, comprised a well presented challenge to the timeshare company and then an expedient resolution.

Today we have relinquished the timeshare and could not be happier; tomorrow we can decide where we want to vacation and not be tied into an unfair agreement with previously no apparent way to get out of it.

I cannot recommend Stephen and Athena Law highly enough.

Mr & Mrs V.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Stephen Boyd and his colleagues at Athena Law who have helped us through a very worrying time.

Thanks to them we are now no longer members of Diamond Resorts plus through a Section 75 Claim they have helped us reclaim the money we had paid out to RSB Legal to terminate our Diamond Membership and claim compensation for us but who fleeced us instead. This is a huge relief to us as we no longer have to worry about this matter.

We would therefore highly recommend the Services of Stephen Boyd and Athena Law.

Mr & Mrs P.

I rang Athena Law and spoke to Stephen Boyd regarding a timeshare I wanted to relinquish.

Stephen gave me some very good advice on a possible avenue for doing this.

I took his advice and have now received a letter from the timeshare resort cancelling my membership and any further maintenance fees

We find that even though many clients are simply happy to terminate their membership and end any obligations of timeshare ownership, some clients choose to seek compensation too.

Assessment of the prospects of succeeding in a claim for compensation can be complex. Each case is different and the answer will depend on a number of factors including the law governing the contract, what if any allegations you have against the resort and/or finance company, what evidence you have to support them and whether the defendant is able to pay. company.
