The plaintiff in a Wyndham timeshare class action lawsuit claims that opposing counsel has lodged a lawsuit against his attorneys in an attempt to intimidate.
Lead plaintiff Freddie Francy alleges in his class action lawsuit that Wyndham assessed a nearly $350 processing fee to him and other timeshare owners. Francy says that act entitles him and his proposed Class to exit their timeshare contracts.
Following Francy’s class action filing, Wyndham’s attorneys reportedly lodged a lawsuit against the firm in Florida federal court as an attempt to stop them from helping Francy and other timeshare owners.
“The Florida case, and others filed like it by attorney defendants, has been instigated for the improper purpose of intimidating those timeshare owners who dare to assert their legal rights and attorneys who assist defrauded timeshare owners into silence and inaction and fear of public participation, and to chill access to counsel and to the courts for victims of timeshare and travel club fraud,” contends the Wyndham class action plaintiff.
According to the Wyndham timeshare class action lawsuit, the addition of the processing fee is a violation of Missouri state laws and constitute a deceptive form of legal business.
Francy says that he and others entered into their Wyndham timeshare agreements as a result of high-pressure sales tactics and deceptive marketing. The timeshare presentation was so long, alleges the plaintiff, that he felt like he had to buy to get out of the meeting. He also says that he was told during a sales presentation that he would be able to sell his timeshare for a profit.
“Plaintiff was detained at the sales presentation against his will for a lengthy period of time,” alleges the Wyndham class action lawsuit.
“The extended, unreasonable, lengthy time period of the sales presentation constituted duress and coercion to force plaintiff to make a purchase before he was allowed to leave the premises.”
According to the Wyndham timeshare class action lawsuit, Wyndham along with its counsel, have preyed upon the elderly and less sophisticated buyers to wring billions in profits in exchange for “worthless” timeshares, vacation points, and memberships in travel clubs.
The plaintiff contends that Class Members like him have been financially ruined by Wyndham timeshares, left unable to pay other bills and harming their credit scores.
Francy demands a full refund of his timeshare contract which is more than $134,000.

My family was recently exposed to these “sales tactics” mentioned in the above article. Promises of renting rooms with little to no hassle, and ease of use was an upfront lie. Behind the scenes there are so many hoops you have to jump through before you can even think about renting a room out due to expiring credits. Which I should also mention, almost every resort is cut throat to even secure a reservation, most needing to almost a year out.
Please add me to this C.A.L

My husband and I were also duped and pressured into getting a Timeshare through Wyndham. We had our kiddos with us and prayed on us wanting to give them awesome memories. (We were on vacation at the time) we are out tons of money and dropped my credit score almost 180 pts. Please add us to you C. A. L
My sister and I were forced into a time share as well. And we were not allowed to leave until we got the timeshare.
Please add me
I have Wyndham Resort TS. I was pressured and lied to about what I was getting. Now I keep getting upsell calls. Recently They even did a hard inquiry on my credit without my permission. Please add me to this CAS.
My Husband and I also have a Wyndham timeshare that we were pressured and misled. We tried to get out of it walking away from getting anything back, they advised they are not letting us out of it. I would like to be a part of this class action.
Add me to class action
My husband and I also have Wyndham timeshare. We were told we could easily get rid of our capital resorts timeshare and pressured into getting wyndhams because of how much better of a timeshare they are. Which we believed them that we could get out of capital resorts and have just Wyndham. We have two timeshares now and hired someone in 2016 named Donna Jane Crawford which turned out to be fraud and stole 5000 dollars from us. We have all the documents and check info for her now 2019 hired another company and are paying over 9000 to get us out and here Wyndham is in a class action lawsuit!!! Timeshare exit team is the company we have now. Have they told us anything no… my credit is down to low 500s these timeshares put us in so much debt And we have the loans in collections and on our credit reports so we are unable to get any loans for anything. and We have lost so much money to late fees on bills because of them. So much stress and anxiety. They preyed on us because we were having a baby and newly married and told us all the wonderful vacations and memories we will have. We have not been able to take any vacations in the last 5 years. I think the timeshare release company’s are working with the company’s to make additional money From us trying to get out of them. they all need to be sued for fraud.
I, too, was coerced and duressed into buying a timeshare. I would like to join in this class action suit.
The timeshare that bamboozled me is Vacation Villa.
I have a Westgate timeshare and was duped into buying with promises of the resort putting in amenities that still never came true. I was forced to buy by a manager and was there for 6 hours until I said yes
