Wyndham timeshare class action overview:
- Who: Plaintiffs Carol and Donald Yorks and Taya and Connor Fissix filed a class action lawsuit against Wyndham Vacation Resorts.
- Why: The plaintiffs accuse Wyndham of deceptive sales practices, hiding pertinent timeshare details and including an unenforceable arbitration requirement in its contracts.
- Where: The Wyndham class action was filed in federal court in Florida.
A new class action lawsuit claims Wyndham Vacation Resorts employs deceptive sales practices, hides pertinent timeshare details and includes an unenforceable Wyndham arbitration requirement in its contracts.
Wyndham timeshare purchasers must book up to 13 months in advance, the timeshares have limited or no resale value and desired locations are often unavailable, the Wyndham class action says.
The class seeks damages and voided contracts, claiming Wyndham committed fraud to gain customer commitment.
Traditional timeshare sales involve purchasing a portion of a property for a specific week of occupancy, which can be traded, the class action alleges. In the Wyndham timeshare program, consumers purchase points that become currency to stay at resorts across the world.
“Fundamental to the Wyndham sales and marketing pitch is that purchasers will have a dizzying array of choices and will be able to stay at their desired property wherever it might be,” the Wyndham class action says.
“Purchasers buy points so they can travel to their desired location, whether it is Scotland, Colorado, Hawaii or some other place. In fact, desired destinations are not available at the desired time and have to be booked sometimes as much as a year in advance, assuming they are even available. The sales pitch is false and misleading.”
Wyndham previously faced timeshare lawsuits
The proposed Wyndham classes include those who purchased their Wyndham timeshares in South Carolina, Maryland and Nevada with unenforceable arbitration clauses in their contracts.
The lawsuit included reference to several prior Wyndham cases where the arbitration clause was ruled unenforceable.
For example, a 2020 class action lawsuit claimed Wyndham aggressively marketed its timeshares and unfairly profited from customers by requiring them to assign their timeshare interest to a trust from which Wyndham benefits.

I was coerced into this timeshare in July 2025 in Austin Tx.I felt like I was being detained by prison guards.i was moved from one room to another and was watched all the time.this all happened after a 120 minute meeting.They wanted to check my credit and while doing so too 4000.00 out of my card.I am 77 years old and was on pain medication due to back pain and a back surgery I had a few weeks before.I kept telling them I could not afford it that I was on SS disability.When I tried to cancel after 6 days I could’nt reach anyone.On top of that my doctor had put me on depression medication because of all this.I tried to dispute this contract and was put through hell.I even talked to a timeshare exit attorney who wanted to charge me 6000.00 to exit.I began to think they must be in cahoots with these people,thinking how can it be so easy for them to get me out of the contract when I tried for weeks myself.My daughter was with me through this and she tried to tell them also she shape I was in.I went to Austin because I had already paid them 98.00 for my room.It was my granddaughters birthday and I was going to take her to the river,but they kept me in that meeting for 6 hours.
