M1 Legal secures £73,658 Spanish court timeshare compensation for Wakefield couple

Wakefield couple secure a life-changing Spanish court timeshare compensation award after a successful legal claim in Barcelona.

£73,658 awarded by Barcelona court

Andrew and Olivia (names changed), from Wakefield, were awarded £73,658 by a Barcelona court last week due to a “lack of information” in the contract (typically linked to the sale of prohibited floating weeks or points-based timeshare arrangements).

The award was achieved by lawyer Patricia Criado Navas on behalf of Andrew and Olivia, who instructed European Consumer Claims a little over six months ago.

M1 Legal: the Spanish timeshare law firm supporting ECC

M1 Legal is the Spanish firm of timeshare lawyers that carries out the legal work for ECC. Their current success rate with timeshare claims is 98.6%.

In the previous week at the time this article went to press, M1 Legal achieved 13 court victories against timeshare bad actors, with a combined value of £176,718.

June 2022: a “bumper month” for timeshare claims

“So far in June 2022, we have successfully won awards worth £460,642,” says Fernando Sansegundo, head of M1 Legal in Spain. “We have several business days left and expect to once more break through the all-important £500k mark on behalf of our clients.”

“Besides Andrew and Olivia’s fantastic £73,600 award, there were many other significant sums awarded to other clients. We have a couple of Marriott owners from Gibraltar who we have just won over £32,000 for. Another couple won almost £30,000 against Anfi in Gran Canaria.

“These are huge amounts of money, especially when, before they retained M1 Legal through ECC, most clients considered themselves stuck with a product they don’t want, and that was costing them a fortune every year in fees.”

Help with unwanted timeshare ownership

Fernando advises anyone feeling worried or frustrated with their timeshare to start by contacting ECC to understand their options. “ECC determine which clients can be helped, and how. Usually there is a way to escape from an unwanted timeshare, and ECC will let you know your best way forward. The consultation costs nothing and their advisors are friendly and helpful.

“ECC carry out the initial assessment to see whether you qualify for compensation, or just a straightforward relinquishment.

“All enquiries to ECC are treated in the strictest confidence.”
