Has Anderson Read Consultancy invited you for a meeting?

Cold Callers Anderson Read Consultancy is approaching timeshare owners with an invitation for a meeting.

The meeting is supposedly for a “no win no fee” proposition to refund all the money paid towards the timeshare membership of the consumer.

The meeting takes place in Redditch, but the representatives at the offices are not from Anderson Read but from RSB Legal / RSB International Group.

These meetings take several hours, and most of the time is of course spent on convincing the consumer how they have been “mis sold” and how they can claim back all the money they paid to the timeshare company.

The claim they offer against the timeshare resort would be on a no-win, no-fee basis with precedes split 70:30 for the consumer.

Consumers have told us that they were informed that this company, RSB Legal has so far recovered over £20m since 2012.

Something that seems a bit unlikely for a company, which was only registered a year ago.

In addition to reclaiming a refund of the costs, RSB Legal offers also to relinquish the timeshare contract but this would involve a fee (~£10,000!).

The consumer can pay £1000 on the day and the balance in 10 days following the agreement. They do mention these costs could be included in the claim as well, so this would be “recovered” in the end.

Taking into account that the consumer is invited in the first place by a company called Anderson Read Consultancy, telephone 0289 5217 211 we really would recommend caution when attending these meetings.

Paying a deposit on the day without taking the time to go through the documents you are signing and the agreement you are committing to is also not recommendable.

If Anderson Read Consultancy has invited you to a meeting we would like to hear from you.

Hi there, your comment: “via credit card also the purchase has to be within 6 years of the claim.” when l read the first bit – payment by credit card, yes, then l read the last part – crest fallen 😦 – as l bought my Timeshare – Florida -in 2006; unless l’ve read you statement wrong.

I received a call from Anderson Read last week, asking me some details about my timeshare purchase, then confirming that I qualified for a refund, and inviting me to a meeting in Manchester. I declined the offer. Paul

In the same vein, Gr8stays/Club Class/Leisure Alliance, have just sent out a mail shot inviting all to let them make a Section 75 claim on your behalf, for a modest 30% of your refund. Of course punters will have to provide proof of purchase etc. Even though they have all the records necessary.

They also mention you can retain your membership having made a claim, disingenuous to say the least.

The main criteria for those who would like to complete a Section 75 claim you’ll need to have made part of the purchase via credit card also the purchase has to be within 6 years of the claim.

I did post a specimen letter on this site, its in the March 2016 archive under the Clubclass entry. Don’t let these people take any more from you………….good luck.
