Are you thinking of joining a Villa Group timeshare class action suit? Do you think you have been involved in a timeshare scam? Read on…

What is a class action suit?

A class action suit is a legal proceeding where a group of individuals come together, then decide to sue a company or another person. This is wonderful in those cases where these large group of individuals actually have a solid and fair case for their lawsuit such as a when medical negligence has occurred or fraud has been committed. If you are thinking about joining a class action suit, then you must first make sure that the individual or company that you want to sue has indeed committed fraud, negligence or breached a contract.

Class action suits against timeshare companies

Before paying money to lawyers, you should make sure that the class action lawsuit to be filed against your timeshare company has a solid case. As a rule, if you are joining a class action suit against a reputable longstanding timeshare company, like the Villa Group, Disney, Marriott, Vedanta etc. your case is unlikely to stand up in court. That is because class action suits can only help you if you have been involved in a scam or organized fraud.

Choosing the right legal representative

Firstly, you should check that the person you have hired to represent you is truly a genuine and works for a legal company. For example, the class action lawsuits that have been filed against the Villa Group have been fraudulent. That is, there is no case for a class action suit and the company charges you for a service they cannot provide. Most of the time the so-called legal representative is just taking advantage of innocent people that have had experience a bit of bad luck with their purchase of a timeshare. Instead of dealing with the problem directly with the Villa Group the timeshare buyer just joins a class action suit and ends up spending money on a service that is itself a scam.

Class Action Suits Are More Affordable

Although, a class action suit is often more affordable, there are many disadvantages of doing this. If the class action suit fails, then you can’t refile the suit by yourself, so your case is only as strong as the claim that the representative that you trusted has made. Before you join a class action suit you should think about the costs that you will have to pay the representative, then think about what you may receive in damages, and ask yourself is it truly worth it?

Class Action Timeshare Scams

One of the biggest fails for any class action suit that has been filed against the Villa Group is that the companies that are representing the people are not reputable. Many of these companies will just file the cases knowing that they have no chance at all at winning for their clients, because they are going to be paid a large amount of money for their fee no matter if they win the case or not, then if you multiply this by each client in the class action group, the company is making a fortune. You should also beware those class action suits that say that they can provide you with a coupon settlement over a cash reimbursement, because in those cases you are only exchanging one product for another.

Advice for Problems with the Villa Group Timeshare

The best advice that can be given to anyone that is thinking about joining a class action suit against the Villa Group is to first and foremost contact the timeshare operator directly. This will save you some money in legal fees as it is highly unlikely that this timeshare company has been involved in scam, therefore your case will not stand up in court. Speak with a supervisor with the Villa Group about your experience and concerns. This will save you stress, time, and the expense of joining a class action suit.
