We have been contacted by Sherlock Marketing who are taking a class action against Timeshare companies to get compensation for mis selling the timeshare.
Has anyone been to one of their meetings in Marbella (they offer to fly you out to Spain and give accommodation for 3 nights) where you meet an adviser who will assess if you have a claim and what it is worth. You give them 40% of the compensation claim they receive so they must be quite confident. No money upfront.
What was the outcome of the meeting?

If you had half a brain you would Google...sherwood marketing

You give Sherwood Marketing 40% of the compensation BEFORE you get the 60% balance................NO ONE has ever got the 60%..

A warning about this might perhaps be useful on the Praise, Vents, Warnings Board?

Hi,
When you say just no longer pay fees- is this based on your personal experience? Did you actually manage to get out of Diamonds this way?
I thought of doing this but it seems risky so I would welcome any 'experience' of this...

For the payment of one years fees and all transfer costs by bankers draft payable go me i will absolve you or parents of any further payments to this company.I have done this hundeds of times and have millions of pounds on deposit in the bank of Toyland

Dont pay,walk away and tough it out ......I have never ever heard of ANYONE being sued in the uk or spanish courts for not paying their maintenence charges.

Hi, it's been a few years now, but i indeed walked away and am now free of Diamond Resorts. Yes i had many letters requesting payments etc ever the threat of going to court. I had been made redundant so called their bluff. I said that having had only the one holiday with them and the fact that is was almost impossible to book somewhere that WE wanted and WHEN we wanted, i have no choice but to stop paying my fees. I also told them that we had payed 14,000 for our points, and for them to threaten us for more money was pointless as i don't have it. Also told them that if they took this to court then so be it. They don't want the publicity and nothing else became of it. I did get one final letter stating that as i was willing to relinquish my points then no further action would be taken. That was the last time i heard from them. However if i get hold of any info that allows me to claim anything back from them, due to the fact that they sell these points with so much pressure and fabrication, then i will be certain to try to get this money back.

yours Peter

Hi,

New here. I have been a member of DRI since 1994, through several of its iterations and after the fees going from circa £800 2016 to just over £1000 this year have decided to "opt out".
This and the last holiday we went on, when "they" tried to sell us more points for £10,000 after telling us that the number of points we owned would not get us anything worthwhile in the future.
Has anyone got a generic DRI get out letter or does anyone know where such a letter can be down loaded from.
Cheers

Hi there


Is there such a letter? I also, am 'locked' in the DR vice. As you say fees have gone up by 12.5% this year & I also would like to get out but am reluctant to sign up to one of the countless cold calls/emails which promises to free me from this financial nightmare as I've heard they are largely expensive themselves & usually unsuccessful. I would be grateful for any advice anyone has.
