Warning – Contract Resolution Centre

KwikChex has received a number of reports from timeshare owners regarding unsolicited phone calls from the Contract Resolution Centre. These prolific cold-callers have intensified their activities in recent days, spreading misinformation and false claims that timeshare owners are on a list of those who want to be contacted about recovering monies for mis-sold timeshares.

As well as the Contract Resolution Centre, they also operate under the following names  

• Charles Worthington 
• Contract Consultancy 
• Contract Fraud Action Team 
• Contract Resolution Group 
• Contract Resolutions Centre 
• Contracts Resolutions 
• Contracts Resolution Centre 
• Contracts Solution Centre 
• CRC 
• David Bentley 
• Fraud Action 
• Fraud Panel 
• Martin James

They use multiple phone numbers with prefixes in Milton Keynes, Bath, Warrington, Huddersfield and Leeds. These numbers include  

01225 809387, 01484 819373, 01135 118975, 01925 398837, 01908 041985, 01223 790495, 01252 756887, 01235 886550, 01452 347521, 01914 325638, 01228 808952, 01213 923760, 01305 896725, 01615 202190, 01256 809682, 01614 644974, 01277 886955, 01376 386535, 01243 882918, 01202 124856, 01617 381192, 01371 868911 

These are likely to be ‘virtual numbers’ – they are not really calling from the locations that they claim. 

The type of unsolicited contact and misinformation being reported by owners are likely to be considered unlawful under data protection and consumer protection regulations, and we would strongly recommend that it be reported to the authorities. 

This business is a lead generator and is not regulated in terms of acting on behalf of consumers in regulated activities, such as making claims under the Consumer Credit Act or legal representation in court. 

Have you been contacted by the Contract Resolution Centre?

We recommend that only regulated businesses be engaged with for legal and claims services – and that even when a business is regulated, they are asked to provide a written, detailed viability report prior to entering into any contract or paying any monies – see ‘Stop & Check’ advice. 

Please report any contact with the Contract Resolution Centre to the Timeshare Task Force, a Trading Standards approved service, managed by KwikChex.
