ITRA | Why File a Timeshare Class Action Lawsuit?

ITRA (international timeshare refund action) and Owners Action have been filing class action lawsuits for people who have been involved in Timeshare fraud for over 5 years now. There have been many Timeshare complaints about deception, fraudulence and a pattern of abuse by people in the Timeshare industry, but you need not worry because you can take action.

ITRA is the best option since it is cheaper than instituting legal action by yourself, you will get the best lawyers from the likes of ITRA and Owners Action, and you will get unparalleled convenience. You are more likely to get a Timeshare refund in a law firm because your legal team will be more formidable compared to an individual lawyer. Why should you take action against those in the
Timeshare industry if you are a victim of Timeshare fraud?

You should take action because under the law, you have the right to seek Timeshare refund as well as to get compensation for the distress and damages if the timeshare purchase is not of merchandisable quality.

Taking class action is allowed in England and Wales under GLO (group litigation order). You can even participate in a class action lawsuit if you are outside England and Wales, provided the defendant is within the territories.

You should take action because it will not be detrimental to your pockets. Under the GLO, the class action will be handled on a no-win no-fee basis. This means the lawyers will only get a fraction of the payout if you win the case and will not get anything if you lose. The ITRA and Owners Action fund the claim and offer support throughout the case. 

Filing a Timeshare class action lawsuit is important because you will recover any investment that you will have made. This could prevent your financial ruin, especially if you are a pensioner.
Suing the guilty party is important because you will feel good about it, even if you do not win.

Instituting legal proceedings is a way of raising awareness about Timeshare fraud. By raising awareness, you will be helping others avoid falling into the same trap you fell into. You should take legal action because there is precedence of huge payouts. Provided you have a strong case, you are almost assured of a payout. Taking part in a class action lawsuit is important if you do not have a very strong case since you will ride on the stronger cases of other Timeshare fraud victims.

ITRAs objective is to support the consumer in timeshare disputes. We have discovered a pattern of abuse, deception and even fraudulent issues that have been systematically perpetrated by many of the major timeshare industry players to the detriment of owners.

ITRA - What Makes a Good Timeshare Refund Claim Funder?

You should take legal action if you have such Timeshare complaints as problems disposing or transferring points or weeks, interest rates that are exorbitantly high in financial institutions that were introduced by marketers, escalating maintenance fees above inflation, and problems getting selected balanced exchanges from exchange companies.


The best way to go about suing players in the Timeshare industry is through Timeshare class action. In English and Welsh courts, the group litigation order (GLO) guides these lawsuits. You could also participate in a lawsuit from outside England and Wales if the defendant is English or Welsh. Filing a lawsuit when you have just lost your money is not feasible and it is often necessary that you get help from Timeshare claim funder. As the term suggests, a claim funder funds your entire case for a fee if you win. So, what makes a good Timeshare fraud claim funder?

So, how do you go about hiring a class action lawsuit lawyer to handle Timeshare fraud?
