Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
Timeshare-Contract Law
I signed up for a timeshare on Sat Nov 27. I was sold on the Idea of being able to go to Paris. Come to find out that I can�t go to Paris. Also I was told I was getting sold Approx $20k in ''Credits'' @ aprox 1.50 a credit but instead getting 8,000 credits. Also was deceptive about the 3-day resition period. I called and informed the company about this and was told to stuff it, the 3-day period was over. I told them I did not want this at all and not to charge me. They said they would send it to collections. What can I do and what can they do against me?

Re: Timeshare-Contract Law
Their actions may be violative of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA). Deceptive marketing practices are illegal. They have the right to send you to collections and file suit against you to recover the money they think is owed. However, you have the right to defend the action and also file a cross-complaint against them for deceptive business practices. We practice in this area and have CLRA cases. Let us know if you need help.
