Die Timeshare Business Check Website ist ein entscheidendes Element der Dienstleistungen, die KwikChex im Rahmen der Timeshare Task Force Initiative anbietet.

Die Aktivitäten der Task Force begannen im Jahr 2013, nachdem KwikChex von der Resort Development Organisation (RDO), der repräsentativen Organisation für viele Timesharing-Unternehmen in Europa, angesprochen wurde.

After a lengthy evaluation, KwikChex agreed to provide free services that would help owners and assist in gathering evidence against scammers.  In addition, KwikChex made clear from the outset that this assistance must be transparent – showing that it is funded by RDO and thus the timeshare industry- und dass KwikChex auch Autonomie bei der Verwaltung der Ressourcen haben würde - und zusätzlich Eigentümern helfen würde, die ihre Timeshares aufgeben wollten oder die Bedenken oder Beschwerden über ihre Timeshares hatten.

The majority of the detriment being suffered by timeshare owners was caused by businesses that were typically cold-calling timeshare owners and luring them to meetings where the owners would be told that they could exit their timeshares – and be members of a new type of club, which was claimed to be far better than timeshare. Owners were charged thousands for these purported services. The reality was that thousands of timeshare owners were being scammed. The promised exits and compensation payments rarely took place, and the new clubs had no real value at all.  There were also many other rogue operations that made promises of exit services and compensation claims to owners, charging huge fees and then never delivering.

Many of the owners that ask for our free assistance do want to exit their timeshares and KwikChex provides clear advice on this – referring them first to their timeshare companies as there are often exit options that can be taken directly. Those that are RDO members are obliged to have an exit policy.  When owners report concerns about their timeshares, and for example indicate that they believe that there may have been breaches of regulations / laws, KwikChex assists by ensuring they are made aware of their rights. Wherever possible, KwikChex acts as a facilitator to resolve the issues, including with agreed settlements where appropriate. If no agreement can be reached, KwikChex will then advise owners as to how they can discuss their cases with qualified, regulated lawyers.
