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.
