The information provided by KwikChex, to prove the link between Regency Shores and Eze Group, allowed me to make a successful claim from my credit card company for the return of the money that I had paid to these companies as a result of their fraudulent scheme.

I appreciate all of the help and support provided by KwikChex Ltd in particular to Chris Emmins who helped forge a link between Action Fraud and Trading Standards to take unscrupulous fraudsters to task. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking redress, as they have considerable experience.
The staff at the Timeshare Task Force were very professional and knowledgeable about the timeshare industry. I found them online when I was looking for help to get out of a timeshare contract. It was a huge relief to know they were backed by Trading Standards; there are so many timeshare scams online, it’s difficult to know who to trust.
I found Kwikchex when making a legal claim against [another business]. They provided excellent information which helped in the court case and lots of moral support. I doubt I would have gone all the way to the court hearing had it not been for the support they provided. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking redress particularly with [another business] as they have considerable experience.

The level of service was excellent throughout the process. I’m so glad I came across them, they did exactly what they said & got me relinquished from my timeshare & there was no charge. Well done KwikChex.
I asked KwikChex for advise in the first place, they offered a full support of my claim against a scam company. They were very helpful and found me a legal team, and the support they gave me in these stressful times was fantastic. I would recommend you speak to KwikChex if you need advise and help on timeshare matters.
A responsive, helpful and knowledgeable service which has been instrumental in helping me with issues. In an industry filled with companies trying to operate beyond the law they offer an irreplaceable and necessary service, professionally and without prejudice. I cannot recommend them highly enough
