Timeshare Consumer Alert

It has been brought to the attention of RDO [Resort Development Organisation] that a Singapore based company called United Wealth Management may be informing timeshare owners during presentations that the company is registered with RDO.


United Wealth Management is not associated with RDO in any way and is not authorised to act on its behalf. Members of the public should be on their guard if contacted by this company and are advised to take legal advice before parting with any money.
 
Timeshare owners who are asked to pay a sum of money to a company that promises to recuperate monies lost elsewhere - for example a deposit paid to a sales company that has closed down or a registration fee paid to a resale company - should be extremely wary as this frequently results in a further loss.
 
If you are told that the company is registered with RDO, check our website as it contains an up-to-date list of members, all of which sign up to a code of conduct. Go to www.rdo.org for further information.

TATOC: timeshareassociation.org

TATOC www.tatoc.org announced on 22nd July that it has launched a new Code of Practice specifically for timeshare re-sale companies.

The new Code is an important new measure when it comes to protecting consumers. It was implemented to not only defend the interests of timeshare buyers, but also to create a fairer and more equal opportunity generally within the industry for re-sale companies that operate within the Code’s guidelines.

Two of the UK’s largest timeshare re-sale organisations, both of which run regular TV ad campaigns and are well known to consumers - Worldwide Timeshare Hypermarket and Travel and Leisure Group - have been among the first to sign up to the Code.

Timeshare Consumer Alert

The police in Spain have arrested a person behind fraudulent timeshare resale company Benedetti & Asociados. This company, which operated from offices on the Costa Del Sol, targeted Spanish timeshare owners and RDO has received a number of complaints about its activities this year. The arrest follows a report that RDO’s enforcement team sent to the police in Marbella.

RDO has established that Benedetti and Asociados SA was in fact a company that was dissolved in 1989 and this company was using its name. Timeshare owners were told that a corporate buyer was lined up and that they had to pay an upfront fee of €499. The sales failed to take place and the timeshare owners lost their money.

Members of the public who believe they may have been defrauded by this company should contact RDO's enforcement team on enforcement@rdo.org
