Local Liberal Democrat MEP Andrew Duff has warmly welcomed a key European Parliament legislative report that will greatly benefit those who use time shares and holiday clubs. The UK has more time share users that any other country in Europe and more than 75% of complaints are from UK consumers.
Commenting, Mr Duff said:
"With this legislation, the nightmare stories we used to see on Watchdog about British holiday makers should be a thing of the past. No longer will consumers be forced to pay up front to companies that then disappear off the face of the earth. Customers will have 2 weeks to withdraw after signing any agreement and companies will not be able to take deposits during that period.
"Companies who offer these products will also be forced to provide pre-contractual information so holiday makers know exactly what they're getting into before anything is signed."
