Consumer protections and consumer fraud acts
Laws prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices in consumer transactions have been enacted in every state. They apply to almost all consumer transactions and are extremely flexible and very potent.
Breach of Contract
A breach of contract - also called a default - is one party's failure, without a legally valid excuse, to live up to any of his or her responsibilities under a contract. A breach can occur by failure to perform as promised.
A timeshare contract may be set aside because of illegality, duress, undue influence or fraud. If proven, the contract may be deemed void.

Bringing Down the Gavel on Timeshare Fraud!
Attorney Ann Pellegrino practices in various areas of law, including timeshare fraud and travel programs. The term, "Entertainment Fraud," is used to describe a category of consumer fraud that relates to leisure activities and products. Among the more popular types of entertainment fraud are scams involving timeshares.
Many timeshare developers hold presentations, often with enticing incentives for attendance to sell their products to customers. However, the incentives for attending are often misrepresented or entirely false. Many victims of timeshare fraud report that they were promised that their timeshare will be an investment; therefore they would have no problem reselling it. Many other victims have reported that they were told that the timeshare company would rent out their unused week for them to cover their maintenance fees. These are just a few of the commonly reported violations.
If you have suffered as a victim from the result
of timeshare fraud or have been a victim of an
illegitimate resale scam or unfair and deceptive
practice, you may be eligible for damages for your
losses.
