ABOUT TOA
The Owners' Advocate is the first professional consumer advocacy group to successfully effect the termination of hundreds of Timeshare and Vacation Ownership contracts both nationally and globally. We have recovered over $500,000.00 in actual monies refunded to our clients from Timeshare and Vacation Ownership companies and have helped save our clients over $10,000,000.00 in contractually obligated debt; these numbers continue to grow daily.
The Timeshare and Vacation Ownership Industry generated $10.6 Billion in sales in 2007 alone. According to the American Resort Development Association, timeshares contributed $92 Billion to the US economy in 2005. This massive business operates in an atmosphere of minimal government regulation maintained by persistent lobbying efforts from the Timeshare and Vacation Ownership Industry.
Consumers of Timeshare products who have fallen victim to deceptive trade practices have scant resources available to assist them through the extrication process. Often the substantial monetary loss to the consumer falls below an amount that would attract an attorney. The American Bar Association has estimated that at least thirty-eight million Americans go without legal assistance every year because of financial barriers to legal service. Although we are not a law firm, should your case require the expertise of a licensed attorney, The Owners' Advocate will facilitate, at The Owners' Advocate's discretion, such attorney involvement.
The Owners' Advocate works closely with the Federal Trade Commission, Attorneys General, Departments and Commissions of Real Estate, as well as any other government agencies that may have jurisdiction in a dispute. We have successfully negotiated disputes internationally from Mexico to Belize by working in conjunction with the prevailing government authorities. Ultimately, our organization seeks strong regulation of deceptive practices within the timeshare industry so that consumers are protected and their rights are assured.
