Hi, just a quick thanks for all you have done regarding my time share release. As well you know I began the journey with some trepidation having had a bad experience with a previous company. I needn’t have worried as the whole process was great. Communication was first class with yourselves and the solicitor up to the desired end result. Thanks once again.

For those wishing to terminate their holiday club membership, I could not recommend more highly Carl James Associates, their team has brought about the relinquishment of our membership in the time that they said they would, they kept us informed all through the process, and they were always very helpful when we had a query. I was very sceptical about their ability to terminate our membership as quickly as they said, because previously we had tried with another company, who claimed to have secured our exit, but we still kept getting bills and threats of debt collectors. We paid a lot of money to this other company, and at the end of the day our membership was not terminated, needless to say we did not get a refund. Carl James Associates offered us a money back guarantee if unsuccessful, which we found reassuring, this gave us the confidence to appoint them to represent ourselves, and we have had no regrets in so doing.

Mr & Mrs N, Nottingham - Date service engaged 17/08/18

There have been no problems with anything at all, I have been very happy with everything. I am happy the timeshare is gone and off my hands. I don’t have to worry about them contacting me, and if they do, I know I can still contact you and legal. I appreciate your help 100%

It was like a ton weight had been taken off my shoulders, I was in a really good mood when we were told. I know I was very sceptical at the beginning, and I had lots of questions, but now over the moon with the whole thing. Everything has been handled very well and, again we are over the moon, we have always been able to get in touch when we called and both Carl James and the legal side have kept us informed throughout.

Mr & Mrs G, Leeds - Date service engaged 19.11.2018

My wife and I contacted Carl James Associates having researched a range of firms. We decided we wanted them to act on our behalf in extracting us from our contract with Diamond Resorts. The “timeshare” market has changed dramatically since we joined 20 years ago and we were no longer able to travel abroad frequently or pay the inflated management fees. Following a face-to-face consultation with one of their staff at our home we engaged Carl James Associates and subsequently spoke to legal specialists, a firm of solicitors. We were asked to provide evidence to support our goal and within a matter of months our contract had been terminated. We were very impressed with the speed and efficiency with which both firms acted – they obviously have a good rapport with each other. We were able to contact Carl James staff whenever I needed clarification or an update on progress. We have no hesitation in recommending the firm.

Mr & Mrs S, Salisbury - Date service engaged 10/05/2019

Dear Diane and Charley I would like to take the opportunity to commend yourselves and by extension Carl James Associates as a company for your professionalism, but most of all your compassion and understanding from the first day of my enquiry to the relinquishment of my timeshare. I have been unhappy locked into a timeshare agreement for many years that has had no resemblance to what I purchased in 1999 as numerous companies took over, the goal posts changed in there favour. I felt enthused to write to hopefully reassure any potential customers that may be deliberating over taking the step to start a case against there timeshare company, and I am giving permission for my letter to be read in part or full from a satisfied customer of relinquishment of timeshare. It's outrageous that my timeshare company tied me into paying three years maintenance fees without being able to use the facilities for relinquishment through them. It has taken just over three months for my timeshare to be relinquished by using Carl James Associates and I feel free of the pressure to keep paying my maintenance fee. Through using Carl James the expenses to myself was considerably reduced, also the completion of relinquishment was faster and I can now pursue for compensation. I have recommended Carl James Associates to persons locked into timeshare agreements and will continue to do so.

I promised that I would write a testimony for you so here it goes; I hope you are happy with it. My wife and I were at our wits end in trying to get out of CLC after finding out that the money we invested for our children was never going to materialise and after being let down by another company in trying to get released, I got a phone-call from Tom of Carl James Associates. Tom came to our house in Scotland on a Saturday afternoon and we discussed everything, and he told us that he could get us out, but it may take a few months. He also told us that we would get regular updates and he would keep in touch. Everything Tom promised has come to fruition, he kept in touch as did his assistant Diane Matthews, which was a great relief to us. We thank you for this. I would have no hesitation in recommending Carl James Associates to anyone who have had problems terminating their timeshare agreement.

Everything is going great. We were told it would take around 12-16 weeks, so we weren’t expecting anything from anyone until around the end of May/beginning of June. All I can say is everything is positive. We have had regular contact with Carl James Associates, regular phone calls, they kept me in the loop, I can’t ask for any more than that, but we’ve always had contact with you, or you’ve been in contact with us, so I’ve got nothing but praise for that. So many people do it and you don’t hear anything else from anyone at all. You know that someone’s taken an interest in what they do and they’re not grabbing my money and doing nothing and forgetting about me the client. They do what they say, and I am Happy with everything and how things are going.

Received the letter to say the relinquishment has been complete, happy days. If you ever want me to recommend Carl James Associates, I am more than happy to do so. I can’t praise Carl James Associates enough for what you have done for us. To be honest, I haven’t had to do anything, its been all dealt with by the legal representative and Carl James Associates and she always kept us updated with monthly letters and updates from the resort. I have been happy with the service provided, of course I have. The money has been worth it, in the end we will end up saving money and will continue to save a lot more. It’s sad that it has come to the end, we’ve had some good holidays out of our timeshare, but that’s life, its done and dusted and I’m glad that were out of it. Especially when you see recent reviews from the holiday resorts. Legal have done a good job and I am extremely happy with the result. I am ever so grateful.

When you hear about some companies, you wonder if they are going to take your money and run, or something along those lines, but because I am having the updates from yourselves and have found information on-line about both Carl James and the legal company, I am more comfortable about the situation. Lots of people want to get away from their timeshare and a lot of people have been burnt when they use some of these companies. Carl James engage with us in a manner we would expect, because of this, I am getting a better comfort level, and if this helps other people, I am happy to say so.

We had been members of the Royal Goan Beach Club since 2001. It was not many years later that we realised that the holiday style offered was not much to our liking and nor was it of interest to other members of the family. We had no idea how to terminate the contractual arrangement. In 2017 we changed from a straight week entitlement to a points-based system with the expectation that it would be more flexible and suitable for us. What we did not realise was that we then had, in effect, two timeshare arrangements. We were advised to contact Carl James Associates (CJA) for advice by a national timeshare registry. The CJA advice, in relation to our situation, was to exit completely from all contractual obligations. Carl James Associates achieved that aim for us during a period of some months, during which we were informed of progress as appropriate. Carl James Associates were most courteous and attentive throughout, and clear in their instructions to us on how to respond to any messages from the timeshare company. We commend Carl James Associates to other timeshare owners who are having difficulty.

I am quite respectful that the legal team are busy but is keeping me updated and I am happy with all the progress made so far well I am “Absolutely delighted” with all the work completed so far. “Really really pleased” I know that there is nothing I need to worry about. It took a while for Diamond Resorts to respond to Legal, they were dragging their feet a little, but Carl James Associates and Legal have kept me informed of all of this. I was very upset the last time I visited my Timeshare; the condition of the resort was not up to any standard. I bought a private exclusive members club and was very upset the last time I visited as it was very clear it was not private or exclusive. I got in touch with Carl James Associates via the internet maybe 1 or 2 months before I went on holiday, and if I was ever deliberating going ahead with Carl James Associates, this is what made my mind up 100%. I know Carl James Associates are a good company and that I can trust them. And I know I have done “Absolutely the right thing”. I cannot wait to be relinquished, Carl James associates have been very good and informative throughout the whole process. I know that it can be frightening for customers at first paying money to a company, but I now feel very comfortable and relaxed with everything. I have already been informing people of the work Carl James have done for me and I never felt like I was just paying out money and nothing would happen I knew it would.

“Carl James Associates were very supportive in the overall process of helping us terminate timeshare with Club La Costa, they are genuinely well connected and engaged the right legal team to relinquish our Timeshare. The lifelong maintenance fees are ended, and the legal team are working on compensation for the fractional property. I am sure there are many families and individuals like us who have been pressurised into buying timeshare and paying huge annual maintenance fees. We have always struggled to make use of the annual points and on several occasions as we couldn’t reserve accommodation at the places we wanted to travel to, mainly because the places were booked over a year in advance we always ended up visiting places that certainly was not our first choice but we had to try to utilise our points. Over 5+ years we had over 4000 points we couldn’t use as we couldn’t find suitable places for our desired choice of accommodation. More importantly we were not given time to make an independent decision on timeshare it was a rushed commitment to take the timeshare deal. Thanks to Carl James Associates"
