Crucial Information
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OUR MEMBERS: If you have been caught up in one of these so-called “offers”, we suggest that you get in touch with the Timeshare Consumer Association’s Helpline (TATOC) which have been VERY successful in getting UK members money back, when they have paid with their credit card, even if this was years ago. The TATOC number is: 0845 230 2430 For more information on this subject ~ click here
FLOATING TIME Following the recent AGM, members approved a modification in the Constitution of the Club with respect to the usage of weeks in the Club. From 1 January, 2009, all apartments in the Club are now on a Floating time basis. This means that for all units (studios, 1-beds, 2- beds and 3-beds), both Standards and Elites, are now allocated to all members from the Main Management office in Malaga. Those members that in the past had fixed weeks will now need to contact the allocations department to request the week(s) they want to use at the Club or for banking purposes. The R.D.O. (Resort Development Organisation) is a trade body that most successful timeshare operators in Europe belong to. They have a code of ethics for all their members, including any Timeshare Resale companies. Their Code of Ethics states: R.D.O. MEMBERS RESALE CODE Resale R.D.O. Members should clearly disclose to seller and buyer, as appropriate, the relevant obligations and rights of all parties to the resale marketing, sales and conveyance transactions, including but not limited to the Resale Member and the seller and buyer of the timeshare interest. Resale members must offer buyers of resale timeshare interests the same benefits of cooling-off period and protection of advance payments as are offered to other buyers of timeshare interests or as otherwise provided by the Law. Resale Members may not directly nor through a third party make unsolicited contact, via telephone, fax or mail, with timeshare owners on what is, or may be construed to be, a cold call approach aimed at inducing such owners to permit the resale organisation to act as their selling agent. Resale Members may not directly or indirectly solicit a fee from a vendor by falsely representing that there is a purchaser ready, willing and able to acquire the vendor's timeshare. Resale Members are not permitted to take any form of mandatory upfront payments for the listing, marketing and sale of any timeshare interest. For more information, please see the R.D.O. web site at: www.rdo.org
